not sit idly by while, our young men
are preparing,themselves to risk every
tiling that life seemed to 'haye'ih store
for them. Purely the cross of Christ',
must mean little to men who can live ,
selfishly In "’such .a crisis! Our sfons
and brothers. In; cunSp and'on bqttle-
field 'must feel our strength behind
them! If they show their manhood
not by high thinking only,' hut by high
action, surelyrby plain living and he

the race Is worth the 'great sacrifice we
are asking of .them. St. Raul bade
men labor, not. that we may. five In .

not live by bread alone,” we must learn

others, that idealism and not material

our race. “ ' '
We ought to have.learned this long
tfgo, for 4lie basis of our religion IS the
fact that the Eternal Son, who
“thought- it not robbery" to he equal
with God,” taking uponjiimself human
nature, lived among men, a life df
strenuous labor und self-denial. We
ought to have learned kneeling before
the altar, where Christ’s great sacri

to the uttermost. What heroes men
