The letter is the message of the 19S | i bishops of the church to its comrauL nicants, and under the chudch law, | wHI be read in every Episcopalian church in the country. Unlike most previous pastoral letters, it dealt with sec.iiAr rather than ecclesiastical affairs. It reviewed conditions in the United States, in Europe and in the Orient and pointed out to this country the threat that lies in a nationalism which assumes the ugly role of group selfishness or false patriotism." "Whatever dangers may .to lurlnng beyond our western horizon,"' it asserted, "can surely be averted by a spirit of justice, woien lias not always prevailed in our dealings with the unent." Sanctify Wealth. Members of the church were admonished to "sanctify their yealth by offering freely of their substf e to^ God's cause," it being added it" .he' wounds of Armenia, Poland aud Belgium still lie gaping to the sky ana offer their dum-b appeal to God and man," The letter in part follows: "America is involved today in worldwide confusion which finds its most acute expression in the battle-fields of Europe. No self-isolation on our pari is possible. The fortunes of the na4-^no ot-q intonrnvpn as the threads rlivuo V AMVV? T? w ? _ of a tapestry. ''Interest never can again be sectional.

Political expediency may in war time require neutrality' of tne L state, but it cannot hold in leash the ^sympathies of the individual citizen. Ia man cannot be passionless and re tain his manhood. m Searching Responsibility. "The fact that our nation is not at war affords no grounds for smugness. It throws upon ue the searcmng responsibility of exalting the true ideals of peace and incoporating them in our national life. Nationalism, too of^ ten assumes the ugly role of group selfishness or false patriotism. Local conditions determine what form this disease will take. Yonder it breaks forth in the scarlet rash of war, here unconaecrated prosperity, -which !* bound to cause manoood to decay. "The nation, that is some quarters.

If frequently we aspire to act as peacemakers in bei half of the warring nations, let our f aspirations be tempted by the reflec_ tion that we are tainted with tne comi man disease of which the eruption" of F war is a sympton, not a cause.

Tlie Newberry Herald and News, in discussing, some recent political contests in this state, says: "The people, however, do not always elect the men who do things. On the contrary they are generally the ones wlio are not elected. The way to remain in office is to do nothing except what you have to do and draw 4 V* AAIAI*.. on/1 lnnl- timcd " j LUC Sdiai y aau k n *wv. The Newberry paper hits the nail squarely on the head. All of us have known cases in which a man in office who served the people faithfully and efficiently has been defeated without 1 cause when he came up for re-election and we have known cases in "whlcfe the man who did nothing at all has been kept in office indefinitely.
