The comfort

of being right

You can always tell a careful dresser by a glance in the region of his neck. Since beards went out of fashion, men have grown increasingly conscious of the need for a facial set-off. This is a task admirably performed by shirt, collar and tie.

But nature has been lavish in the bestowal of variations and a little skill is therefore necessary in choosing these items.

We have gained plenty of this skill and are always willing to share it. Why not ask us, and enjoy the comfort of being right?

It is good for us occasionally to get our impressions on a broad canvas; to see the magnitude: of the task which confronts the Church -to-day. Last week we glanced for moment at the "Evolution of Marriage." That is only one aspect of a process of evolution which has been going on from the beginning; n process which might be called God working out his purpose with imperfect and often intractable materials." The world has been in existence (the astronomers tell us) for 2,000 million years and can last for another, million million years. Civilised man, that is man capable of understanding purpose in rela- tion to the world he lived in, bas been on the earth at most 10,000 years. We are thus only in the ATey dawn of this earth's day of life. Into this world, almost at its beginning,. Christ came---we might say from a study of the con ditions, at the earliest possible mo ment to reveal the mind of God the Creator, And coming, he did not pass judgment on the parti- cular isaues of his time, on Roman imperial politics, or slavery; but He laid down rather the principles of progress, the main lines along which the human race must run if it were to achieve its destiny.

Nineteen Centaries of Growth. Nineteen centuries of growth have followed the laying down of those lines. There has been no nation or church that has not compromised and tried to run on other lines. What GK Chesterton says is true, that:

Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and "nat 'tried."'

Nevertheless the world has tried enough to see, as it has, I believe, never seen so clearly before, that Jesus was right. This is what makes at once the opportunity and the responsibility for the Christian churches; and not least for Chris tians within the British Empire.. We cannot forget, nor should we forget, that the Church of England is the state church of a land which has been called to play a grentor part in the development of the world than any other. At this very time a group of men representing the governments of nearly one-filth of the inhabited territory of the globe are meeting in Loudon to Consider the fature of the British Empire. In a few weeks a round- table conference is to be held to discias problems affecting one out of every five of the world's inhabit ants, the peoples of India.

What then are the principles. which Christ laid down and for which the members of his Church.in these days should stand! What kind of witness should we give in our dealings with other peoples, and in particular with those who live under the British Angi

...

First Principles,

Mr. Morrow's Resignation.

Mr. Morrow, probably the most popular incumbent in the history of the post, has just returned to re- sume his apparently already auc- cessful fight for a U.8. Senate seat from the state of New Jersey, where he recently won whelming victory in the Republican

his course.

The issue is vital for the future of the world. To fail here would be to leave the door open to racial and national animosities, the out como of which is too awful to contemplate,"

But secondly, and this is the acid test of the family spirit, there are not only differences but definite dis putes. There is bound to be oc- ensionally a conflict of interests. Here again we must hold fast to the family method. If disputes there are, they must be settled with an eye to the best interests of the whole. Some measures of discipline may be necessary, and even punish ment. If a younger member of a family os stubborn and dangerous he is held in check and even thrashed for his own good. But the idea of inflicting a permanent in jury would be scouted as nothing less than criminal. We do not take Tommy out into the garden and shoot him because he is a nuisance! The inevitable result, then, of ad- mitting the principle of the family is to put war out of court. If a race becomes a danger to the world some other means than killing must be found to check the danger.

The Christian must condemn war not merely because it is wasteful and ruinoue, a cause of untold misery," but far more because it is contrary to the will of God." The Conference "affirms that war as a method of settling international disputes is incom patible with the teaching and example of Our Lord Jesus Christ. When nations have solemnly bound themselves by treaty, convenant or past for the pacifie settlement of international die- putes (and by far the greater number of the nations have done this) the Conference holds that the Christian Church in every nation should refuse to countenance any war in regard to which the Goy- ernment of its own country has not declared its willingness to submit the matter in dispute to arbitration or conciliation,"

Abolition of War,

Finally Christians are called upon Now this is a matter in which we to witness not only negatively, for dare not trust our feelings.

People talk sometimes as though the work of the Christian Church was finished; it has only just begun. In the very condemnation of war she has herself (and that only in some sections) but just realised the full extent of her task of witness- ing to the ideals of Christ. She shall do "greater things than these." Mankind struggles in the grey light of morning out of the darkness of confusion and the horrors of ignorance and war inte the day of the knowledge and love of peace. Who shall lend the way if not those who believe in the Fatherhood of God?
