THE PRESENT WAR AND CHRISTIANITY I ' By Rev. A. A Berle, D. D, in "Our ' Dumb Animals." Nothing in the present terrible European situation is so depressing as tbe evidence it affordB of the fearful contrast between Christianity and Jesus ; Christ! Jt amounts to( nothing more or 1 less than tbe breakdown of tbe religion 1 o't Western civilization. It is frightful ' ♦o see actually before us the fact, that : all. tbe art, learning, knowledge, science ' and religion of the Western world have ' not been equal to the task of holding 1 the barbarous instincts of tbe animal I man in check and is leading human be- ' ings into the shaqibles of slaughter in ' a manlier in which no civil 17^.1 country op the globe would permit lower ani- 1 mala to be killed. The battle-fields of ' Europe today are proving conclusively < that the vast increment of human, in- I teller tuHl force in the recent centuries I of history lias been applied almost en- 1 ' tiiely to the perfecting of the agencies c of destruction. In a word, civilization ' ia Europe has practically broken down. | That is the plain meaning"of the Euro- 1 tine of the most futile |>erformanccs 1 is the endeavor to fix blanu- here or 1 there in this vast catastrophe. To say 1 one man or nation did it is worse than I foolish. Xo one man, however called the < War Lord of Europe, could possibly do 1 this. No single nation, however cursed 1 with militarism, could do it. All Eur- I ope is an armed ramp. What the army 1 i<- to Germany, the navy is to England. 1 Eiance and Russia and Austria as well t as the minor ' countries have all been in the leash of the vicious ani immoral t theory, -that vast preparations for the 1 business of killing can be at any time or < anywhere prevent war. As a matter of t fact it has been a reversion to the min- t leg camp theory of existence without I it* virtues. .Old time miners will tell t von tliat. generally speaking, in the | mining camps of '49 an unarmed man ► was usually safe. The only man who | hail to draw and draw quickly was the 1 man who carried a gun. \ Hut there is a remoter and murli more j t p> w erf ill cause' of all this which has j i not gciirrallj^bc''" noticed because it I < has warped tin- Vigw of tin- very |>eople j g who are supposed to hate war most, t This the vast body of Christian people Is themselves. The fact that Christianity 'a has been until very recently and still 1 11 I- in most quarters a religion of theo- 1<- . w-pical dogma instead of practical I >1 righteousness lies at the base «f the j 1 downfall of E'lnqs-aii civilization. i t When the. Council of Xicaea in the ; t ▼i»r 323 A. I), established Christianity | t'n basis of dogma, there was in-,c fl.At.s1 upon the Christian religion the, greatest blow it has ever sustained, i That eonnril with, its outflowing re- , siilts fixea the att.-ntion of the -Chris- j ( tion j-hureh and its leadership ii|h>ii dog- ; luatir consideration* as the test of vital ] ( Christianity rather than ii|sni practical ( righteousness as emphasized by Jesus , ( Christ himself and made absolutely j f char on every page of the Gospels. That ' was a catast ropbe. the full meaning of . which has never b.-en comprel.end.-d jm- j ' til now. Christianity lias never meant ( the test of right.-ousncss. only the test o! dis-triiic. Membership, in tlic church, and preferment in religious institutions did not rest upon beauty and holiness «"'\ljfe and practical service to humanity 1 but upon astuteness in tbeologii-al ills- ^ illation. Hence the vast energies of " the Christian church were expended . upon ilia-trine as tlic major int|-r.-st and Only in comparatively recint times j ' has this been discovered. Tl.e religion " »l Jesus Christ is not. and never was. ' '* and there is not tin- slight.-st evidence 1', the tearhing of Ji-sus that He ever ' intended it to In-, a religion uf theology i n. 1 logins . "There is every ejldenrc that He ilitcinlcd it to lie a Religion of si-rviet- " and o| service fir-t and foremost. Tin-: . i-ath. licitv of Jesus' t<-acliing .on the j '' si.hjci-l of h"liefs as such, is one of the ' intiqlicticl wonders of tin- Gospel*. The j" wonderful inclusiveiiess of His prayer j and His service is the vasts-st reproacli , t- the organized Christianity of tislay r' that .-oTTnl |s.»si».l y In- framed. There is I *] no indictnn-nt of Christianity tliat could | • -iiialin penetrating severity tbe condition of Europe at this moment. Hut ; that indictment is written in its sever - «st form in the words of Jeans Oirist in * ithe Gospels. One ix-eils only to think back a little fl While to see the grotesqiieiieas of "most 1 11 of the eoutcntions of tislav.

leadership of King Leopold of infamour { memory, of the poor natives of the Congo A few more years back and we were r all groaning in horror over the frightful Russian massacres of the Jews in . the pogroms which shocked the moral e f.-iisc of all humanity. Still a few more .- vt an. back, we were shuddering at the „ moi.-trous barbarities of the Dreyfus r case in France. Have all these peoples u changed their character* and suddenly 1 sponsors of light and leading? t .Such a supposition is absurd, Left to e themselves, in their own affairs, every e one of the warring nations exhibited a j sardonic disregard of the practical as- | pects of the Christian religion which . made all really Christian hearts sick j with grief and pain. r Just now wc are horrorstricken over . tbe alleged use of dumdum bullets, but f we forget that the enlightened nations j of England and the United States, under - the leadership of the representatives of « the United States, voted against the - abolition of these bullets in. the Hague s conference. Let nobody imagine'that we 1 are so very different from these Euro- . p. an peoples. Rustum Bey, the Turkish - ambassador, in his remarks about our lynching bees and other barbarities, may I been speaking undiplomatically, r hut he was telling the truth! Let us r not Ik- deceived in these matters.- We 1 have all been under the grip of a theory ■ of Christianity which w-as never taught > Jesus Christ and which finds abso1 h.tely no sanction in Hie life and work. - Christianity is a religion of service. Nor body ever has. and nobody ever will . make an intellectual synthesis of ChrisI tians which takes them all in and se1 -.ires tin- equal and coordinate intellecI tnal assent. But Jesus did make a syn- • thesis of service which can take in every r Christian of i-vcrv name and creed and f type under -the wide Heaven! This is ■ the time when humane teaching should t be brought to the fore. It is not only I tliat we should emphasize peace and • peaee measures, but we should empha1 size the fact that what has > passed for Christianity is. miieh of it, s not Christianity at all. l-et all the world be made conscious that Chris■jtianity as we are seeing it in ope ration I j not the Christianity of Jesus Christ, i j Christianity is a religion Of service, to > great and small, to strong and weak. . to those who can and those who cannot I I speak for themselves, service for man 'and aninyil. for all sentient life, for love I and hop.- and helpfulness. That is the {capital fact which, the **\vhoh- world j needs to ban. out of the hr.-ak.h.w a. Of. j European civilization. Civilization needs if. be born again and lu.ru n wording to {the life and teaching of its Founder! SUPPLIES THAT AMERICA WJLL NOW HAVE TO DO WITHOUT j III the .November Woman's Home ] Companion Gran- Margaret Gould, the j well known fashion editor of that pubI tiele entitled "What War Means to ! Fashions." Tliat America will have to . jilo without while the -war lasts is set down in the following extract from j .Miss Gould's article. I "There are certain «np|ilio* that I America will simply have to do withI nut. Our st<K-k of fine silks, chiffons, j and velvets is aires v limited. Tin- lace indnstrv is decidedly hard hit. for most of onr laces are iin|H.rted from Kwitaor'land. England.

"There- is mi re to be a shortage also embroideries, for though there arc many beautiful do|ncstic embroideries, imi.-UMra. the fact that there'is Mich 'a scarcity of ml and other fabrics used j for Jb.-ir w ill .-ripple the ; American nianiifaeliirer. i "Aiming the most effective trimmings !arc the imported, oucs. and it is the {same story in buttons.
