MINISTER'S COLUMN

At different times in the history of the human race a mighty scourge has swept civilization well nigh from the face of the ear th . In the twelfth and thir teenth cen-turies smallpox like some mad de-mon galloped across the continent of Europe, striking death to its human victims, in its merciless drive of death. Across the years when we marked time by writing the figure one and adding three figure eights H888> I recall what was known as a pest-house, far on a lonely hill. To this outpost smallpox victims were taken, then some nurse willing to take the chance of the dread disease, would volunteer to care for the stricken. Pood and supplies would bs deliver-ed one hundred feet from the pe.st house. Folk would point out the dread spot and whisper of silent burial through shadows of the night. Thanks to medical science that conquered the dread conquer-or. The followed infanti le par-alysis over the land. It swept like a whirlwind. leaving humani ty emaciated an:l handicapped for life. Thanks, again to science that so masterfully comfcatted the 'fiend that struck men down. Then came a dreaded affliction labelled influenza. Previous afflictions had slain their tens of thousands but this giant destroyed his hundreds of thousands. Brave science squar-ed itself again and struck back at the plague until it covered it eye-less sockets with fleshless hands and slunk back into dungeons un-

known. Again, and more merciless than anything preceding it in the history of man, there fell suddenly, like a bolt f rom a sunny sky, in the year cf our Lord 1929 and they call this plague, depression. So far, no chivalry, no science, no philosophy has succeeded in combatting this dread death striking scourge of the gods. In the city of Akron, Ohio, typical of ten thousand other cities, men have withered and per-ished, The hear t has given under the pressure and stopped, the nerves strung to tension like vio-lin strings have snapped. Shame and inability to meet obligations have smothered multitudes. A leap in the dark, pistol bullet, gas or chloroform, any means at hand to qutt the world and quit it quick-ly. Black clouds roll across the sky. rumbles of new sorrows are here on every hand, men meet you today, salute you. pass on and are gone, gone forever. Leaders no longer lead, blind follow the blind. 1935 is no better than 1929, the plague still ravishes the ear th .

I stood looking about in a great, brick building, in Akron, yesterday, empty, deserted, foresaken. Some months ago the machinery h u m -med, typewriters clicked, t ires and accessories poured forth, men and women worked, earned bread and were happy. Now no one about save a watchman by day and a watchman by night. One man, I am told, sunk, sunk $235,000.00 in this plant, and with associates carrying his name on notes for $300,000.00. This entire line of enterprising business men broke, all broke.

one answer, my friend. The hu-man race has worshipped at the shrine of war, of greed, of gold, and by official edict have wasted their substance. Hogs, cotton, wheat, wasted, wasted. And the end of this regime is death. The only way out is the way of life, of justice, of peace, of equity, via the guidance of God.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR The young folks are learning how.

Roy Lowe l e a d ' a very good C. E. prayer meeting last Sunday eve-ning. The only error we can think of now which he made and tha t was a very serious mistake because of the large crowd present—he for-got to take up a collection. And did you know tha t a male quar te t te is made up of six young men. How-ever tha t is perfectly agreeable. They can have twelve in the quar-tet te next time and no one will ob-ject. In fact all were very much pleased with them this time.

Next week the leader of the C. E. meeting will be Mat tie Lee Carver. Leaders and topics will be lined up seen and we hope in the near f u -ture to be able to publish complete C. E. prayer meeting program out-lines.

If you would listen to a live dis-cussion on a. religious topic, come to the Sunday evening C. E. meet-ing at 6:30 o'clock.

MEN'S CHORUS TO BE REVIVED

This coming Sunday evening, a f -ter a two months vacation, all men of Community church who can speak ateove a whisper are invited to meet at 7:30 p. m . a t the church. Bring your song books. Let us have forty men there.

HOMECOMING As a mat ter of historic interest

it should be recorded tha t Home-coming last Sunday was a success. Attendance at Bible school was one

hundred seventy - four, morning' church services were well attended, a wonderful dinner was served by the ladies at noon, the af ternoon service was interesting and profit -

.able, the Christian Endeavor serv-ice was invigorating and well a t -tended, while the musical was put on before a f u l j house.

And speaking of music—selec-tions played by Mr. Kurinsky at both morning and' evening services were much appreciated, especially those (three?) composed by Mr. Kurinsky himself.

In the evening, while the choir did not sing as advertised, Trom-mer and Schnee did all tha t was necessary (and that" very well) to •fill in the vocal par t of the evening program. We should have the whole choir next time. And while this is not the opinion of an ex-pert the music (?) editor believes tha t a bass horn and a bass drum

Q I J ^ S T I d N S A N D A N S W E t l S How can christians justify war ?

All religions including Christianity have, from time im-memorial justified war, with the exception of an isolated sect here and there along the corridor of time such as the Quakers.

Civilized nations today generally speaking abhor war, but accept it as inevitable and therefore justify wars of defense, wars opposing the oppressed, and wars that safeguard their possessions.

Strictly speaking, Christianity cannot square itself with wpr; no alibi will stand the test. The founder of Christianity is known as the Prince of Peace. His kingdom (Christianity) is founded on peace, good will, equity and lave. There is no place left for war in the Kingdom of Christianitj'. We are to go the second mi le—we are to turn the other cheek.

Old Bible characters that justified their slaughter by re-citing that God directed them to battle to destroy men, women, children, cattle and property, deliberately libel the, soverign of the Universe. G o d is love, and that Is counter to war, ha te and murder.

William Penn founded the province of Pennsylvania in the year 1682. In that year twenty-three ship loads of emi-grants landed for Penn's new colony. The country swarmed with untamed savages called Indians, but William Penn deal.t with them on the jbasis of the Golden Rule. Penn's province extended three hundred m'les into the wilderness and contain-ed more than forty-five thousand square miles of lanpl. Penn'g subjects, civilized and otherwise, loved him. The Indians never revolted, never took to the war path. There were no pr^volts or Ind'an wars in Pennsylvania. All along the coast— from Maine to Virginia the settlers fought the natives but not so with William Penn's. The naked savage loved him, and would give his life for him. Now, on the basis of human reasoning, was Penn's kingdom more just, more honorable, than God's? Kings and soverigns have told us that God di-rected them to levy war. William Penn contended "Thou shalt not kill!"

Christianity cannot justify war! What, then, must a people do when war is forced , on

them? War is similar to labor strikes and capital punishment in that it never has been and never can be justified. War sows seeds of hate that generations unborn must reap. Christianity is love, not hate; peace not war. GEORGE M. H U L M E
