PRAYER IX EUROPE AND
AMERICA.
Three emperors in war-torn Eu
rope have asked their subjects to go
to a church of the God of Love and
Peace, fall on their knees and pray
that He will bless their several arms.
How grim the Irony of this request!
How like a page torn from the feudal
past!
Divine blessing on arms raised in
pride, panic and hate raised not to
do justice, not to assail wrong, but
i to support arrogance, tyranny!
! The very idea is blasphemy.
But here is what you as an Ameri
can can do:
If given to prayer,
you can bend
matins and' vespers beg the Son of
Peace that the dove shall not return
save over a sea of blood; that the
only olive branch she shall bring
shall be one to laurel that particular
nation with victory while in other
nations widows are weeping, children
are wailing, and Famine stalks
abroad in hellish glee.
If Turkey shall become a party to
this all-world crime, then from St.
Sophia the muezzin will call all the
faithful to .pray that the God who
raised up Mohammed will nerve them
with the power of the Everlasting
Arms; that He will be with them and
of them until they and their allies
rise gloriously victorious from an
orgy of blood.
And if Japan and the Orient also

Just Human. .
What does it mean to be just hu
man? It means to love folks; to be drawn
instinctively to any human being; to
gaze on the face of every passerby
with curiosity; to feel the heart warm
a little even when looking at an old
portrait in a book of one who lived
500 years ago; to have a sense of
uneasiness in solitude, so that one!
