GOD .i WILL OB MAN'S.
If God be perfection in wisdom and
love, and all powerful, why does He
not stop this war? asks Cyrus Town
send Brady of The Vigilantes, lie
must know of the suffering, He must
feel for the sufferers, if He can why
does He not end it? Grave questions,
Indeed, and wrung from hearts un
accustomed to doubt, by sorrow and
shame and despair. God is wisdom,
love and power; God knows and feels,
yet the war goes on. He does not
act. There is no Divine intervention!
What then? Shall we, like Job's wife,
curse nod and die? By no means.
Let us ask ourselves the exact
meaning of that clause In the world
wide prayer "Thy will be done on
earth as It Is in Heaven." Is that a
statement of invariable ever-presonl
fact, or is It a necessary petition?
God's will always and everywhere and
at all times being done upon earth
or is It not?
I think that statement is a petition
and that it is properly Included in the
Lord'B Prayer. I am sure that God's
will is not always being done, hut
that often and for long periods the
evil will of man Is being done under
the Inspiration of the devil. Inci
dentally, after the experiences of the
past few years I don t see how any
one can doubt the existence of the
devil and legions of attendant spirits
of evil. Ho is Incarnated at Potsdam,
andi his fallen Angels in the ravagos
of the stricken lands of Europe and
Asia'. Have you seen that torrible
cartoon In which the devil shakes his
linger at tho kaiser and says, "If you
don't quit cnlilng me 'God,' you will
get into trouble"?
Will any one say to the maimed
children, tho outraged womon, the
starved men, thnt those sufferings are
infllctou upon" fliem by the will of
God? Wore Rhelms and Ypros and
Louvnln destroyed by tho will of God?
Does He pollute wells, and dovnstnto
flelde and destroy villages? Is Ho re
sponsible for Poland, Serbia and Ar
menia? Is tho torpedo launched
against the merchant ship in accord
ance with His will? Is Ho using
liquid fire and poison gas? is God
nccessory after the fact to murder,
rape, outrage, devastation, destruc
tion? The thing Is unthlnkublu; the
claim inousuuuu, impossible, Incredi
ble. Hut If God be not responsible and
a men are, still why does Ho not pie
veut tbem'f A statement ot mo q.ios
tlon, The answer? 1b no! tie ..in
endowed by Uod with tree will, po.e
to chose. That is and must be a rem
power else we are victims of a ghast
ly Jest, a hiueous delusion, u Uod
uas limited rilmself by giving us this
power we can, m wo win, cnoso ovn
instead of good. Men nave chosen
evil anu the world Is suiieilng be
cause ti the choke. Once inure you
ask, wny uoes not Uod withdraw from
us our freedom oi will, since It Is
abused? because the privilege is so
great, so iuesilmubie, so necessary,
that it Is hotter even to suiter all Hit
ins thai icllow upon its abuse, than
that it should be withdrawn or abro
gated, and we descend to the posi
tion of uutoinatu, Irresponsible be
ings, moved about arbitrarily by an
omnipotent hand. Wo must work out
our owu salvation by the help or uoti.
We are not children of the bond wo
man but ol tne Iroe and wo must so
continue.
How, then, Is God's will lo be
done? How Is the war to be won.'
in what way Is a stop to be put lo
all those atrocities'.' When men, by
whatever moans and searching, do
discover the will of God and ultei
tho discovery develop aulllciellt con
secrutlon and evotion to do tho will
of God, then, and not until then will
It bo done.
"The Son of God goes forth to
war " Yes, always and at all times,
put Ho never conies back a victor
unless the Sons of Men go with Him.
When wo llnd out the will of God
and do it. we shall end the war, and
every other evil that results from the
inuliility or unwillingness of men to
sec and do that will.
Are your hearts set upon righteous
ness, upon doing the will of God, oh
ye people of America? So the ques
tion is not of God s duty but of your
own.
What answer are you making?
Tho administration at Washington
is proceeding for the court martial
of oltlcors and the Indictment of oth
ers connected Willi grafts or attempt
ed grafts In government contracts.
The snecific charge now is that un
conscionable fees were charged in
the securing of contracts, and the
amount of the fees added to the con
Bldorafton In the contract. Thus
once moro does the administration
add Its own official verification to
tho crltcisms of extravagance mid
waste which have been hoard lor
many months past. nen tho repub
lican press complained or largo ex
penditures and inadequate results,
there was a cry of "petty criticism."
carping criticism," and "partisan
ship." For a republican editor to
Intimate that the nation was not
getting rOHtilts commensurate wltil
tho expenditures, was near treason.
Now lhat the administration has 01
finally declared Us own opinion on
the subject of graft, the people ol
the country should acknowledge
tholr obligation to those newspapers
tbat littered a courageous protest
against extravagance and inefllci-ency.

WASHINGTON, July 2. All civil
war veterans who are now carried
on pension rolls will soon be drawing
$30 a month or more under the terms
of tho new pension law which be
comes operative June 10. The com
missioner of pensions has Issued a
circular explaining the operations of
this now act which roads as follows:
"The act of Juno 10, 1918, amend
ing the Sherwood pension law of
May 11, 1912, provides the rate of
$30 per month for soldiers and sail
ors of any age who served 90 days
and loss than six months during the
civil war and were honorably dis
charged, and who are now receiving
a lower rate. Those who are 72
years of age, or over, and who serv
ed six months, are entitled to re
ceive per month; those who serv
ed one year, $H5 per month; one and
one-half years, $38 per month; nnd
two yoars or over, $40 per month.
These increases will bo granted auto
matically, and without application
of any kind to the pension bureau, to
all soldiers and sailors now pension
ed undftr the act of May 11, 1912,
and who have attained the required
age and served the necessary length
of time.
"Soldiers and sailors who served
during the Civil war and are pen
sioned at lower raten under some
other law, but who are entitled to
pension under the act of May 1 1 ,
1912. will bo required.' to file an ap
plication under that act in order to
receivo the benefits of the new law.
"The "pension bureau will make
these allowances with all the dis
patch possible under existing condi
tions. A special force for tho adjust
ment of cases within the provisions
of the new law has been organized,
which will handle those cases exclu
sively. It should be borne in mind
by those concerned that there are
now nearly 2(iS,000 pensioners un
der the act of May 11. 1912. and all
are urged to exercise patience and
consideration. While everv offort
will be made to hasten thin work.
thero wll bo no avoidable interfer
ence with the progress of cliiims now
on file under other laws. A special
effort will he made not to Interfere
nliitms.
"It will be wholly impracticable to
malce any payments at the Increased
rate on July 4. 191 X. but It is hoped
that payments due August 1, 1918.
may be made at the rate provided bv
the now law. It will not be neces
sary to write the buwnu about these
increases. Letters ol' inquiry will
simply delay the work of making al
lowances. "So attorneys' feos will be allow
ed or paid for services in securing
Innrease or pension under the act ol'
June 10, 1 9 i S."
