A REAL DIPLOMAT.
The Filipinos are showing themselves to he diplomats of the first
water and a capacity and ability for self government that deserves in
dependence for them.
Senor Zueron in presenting the memorial of his people to Secre
tary Baker, who represented the president, spoke the truth in com
plimentig the fairess and justice of this great nation of ours, but said
it in words that would touch the pride of any people and gain their
sympathy.
Where is the diplomat who could excel the brief little gem of
chosen words in the speech he made to Secretary Baker which we
quote below:
“You have truly treated us as no nation ever before lias
treated another under its sway, and yet you—and none bet
ter than you—will understand why, even under such eonri
tions, our people still crave independence, that they, too, may
be sovereign masters of their own destinies.'’
THE SOLDIER AND THE CHURCH.
It was fervently hoped by Ibe parents and friends of the young
men who went to war when this government called them, and as a
consequence suffered the temptations and hardships of camp life, the
the dangers of trench warefare, the horrors of active combat and de
prived of all the pleasures and opportunities of going to church that
they would appreciate this privilege so nmeh when getting hack home
they would gladly attend the house of the Lord on every Sunday.
In fact most of the boys while thousands of miles away in a for
eign land, where millions of brave men had already been slain, and
they expecting to face death at any moment, dreamed of the dear old
church at, home and longed to he hack on Sunday mornings to enjoy
the worship. We are sure in their serious and thoughtful moods they
renewed their veows to attend more regularly and serve their Clod
more loyally if they were permitted to get home again.
We know this to he true, because numbers and numbers of them
thus touchingly expressed their desires and intentions in letters to
friends and loved ones at home. All those deeply concerned in them
believed they would come hack imbued with these lofty and holy
ideals, strongly impressed with the importance of leading better and
cleaner lives, taking more interest in the house of God and building
for themselves a firmer foundation for their future destiny and for
that of those whom they might influence.
So far, however, there has been disappointment in the hearts of
those who hoped and prayed for this realization. Instead of result
ing as every one had wished and earnestly desired, the opposite effect
faces us, and the sad fact confronts us that a large per cent age of our
young men who were ready to die for their country are not willing to
serve their God, arc absenting themselves from the churches and seem
indifferent and unconcerned.
This does not give promise for the future growth and advance
ment of religious traditions, nor for the progress and onward march
of Christian civilization. It does not suggest that fathers anil mot lid's
have done their duty, that they have lived lives consistent with
their professions. It does not indicate that fathers and mothers have
brought up their hoys in the right way and have diligently and pray
erfully sought to impress them with the sacredness of their obligat
ions, and so ingrafted in the hearts and minds of their boys the great
central truth, that no young man can he true to himself, can he a
brave and manly soldier for his country and for his family who ig
nores the church, who is not a soldier of the cross and believer in the
immortality of the soul, and that a higher and nobler destiny in the
eternal future awaits him.
