Ill fares the land to hastening ilia a prey, And the last picture of federate Veteran presents coldier of the cross. The term may be a misnomi r and might better pre sent him as follower of the Prince of Peace. Bu: it has its origin i tory when he follower of any or man took the term so frequently used by a war stricken world, long before the Prince of Pence came to teach “Peace on earth, good will to ward men." During long years strife and war for selfish ends men had lost their true conception of their Creator, their relation to Him and their re flection of that relation in their deal ings with each c was to (tuide man in his with his brothers on this ultimately back to his God in the infinite beyond. Thereafter those on earth who had caught the spirit of this Prince of Peace were called soldiers of the cross on which he had been crucified. Theirt teachings which came from Him were of a God of love who works on the hearts of men from the in-i side to inspire them to deeds of love for each other in reflection of His own great love for all mankind, His crowning creation for the sublime end of ultimately associating with im through an endless eternity. And the influence of that love has rought to man all the ble#- ; nga hich we in this day enjoy. It has ermcated the hearts of men to the extent of making them less selfish ■onsideratc of others. It has given to many the opportunity of living in peace and making for themselves prosperity and happiness instead of the stronger grinding the weaker in slavery and poverty as told of in history of the times before He came to teach us. It has given men a conception of a higher object in " life than the gratification of their personal lusts or their greed for gain and power over their fellow men. At the end of the world war the German were not dragged at the wheels of the allies, their land pillag-1 ed and their women ravished, as was j usually the case at the end of almost every war before this Prince of Peace came to teach men better * things. And when we entered the world war our peerless Wilson made a declaration startling the world to the effect that we entered it only in behalf of freedom and in defense of the world from threatened^ slavery and debauchery, and not for any gain that might be expected to accrue to us or our country. And we are look ing constantly forward to the time when the teaching of Christ will so far perfect us in our dealings with each other that we will not have war. In many other ways are His teach ings reflected now.
