Has Christianity Failed?
Bright yoyng men.with no very profound under­
standing of Western Civilization and its history
sometimes dismiss Christianity with the assertion
that Christianity has been tried and found wanting.
The answer of G. K. Chesterton, often quoted, can
bear repetition here. “Christianity has not been
i tried and found wanting. Christianity.has been tried
| and found rather difficult.’’
CORP. DUBOFF of the War Bond Office sells Chief Kiel-
block a bond, and Margaret Wolf of the Post Engineers sells Chief
Sherk one as Corp. Crum and Chief Wallace look on. The chiefs
were among the first to subscribe to payroll deductions for the
purchase of war bonds.

For some time now, Christianity has not even
been tried. That is to say, our civilization, the
creation of Christianity, has been throwing ob­
stacles in the way of the Christian way of life, and
encouraging anti-Christian forces. In every field
of human endeavor, in education, in government,
in international relations, in the amusements of the
people, Christ is either officially repudiated, or
1 quietly and consistently ignored. Examine the out­
put of American literature, as a survey coming out
of the University of North Carolina did recently.
Despite that fact that Christianity is the chief in­
gredient of our civilization, the only thing that
separates the white man from barbarism, today it
is the Christian point of view alone that almost
never finds a sympathetic and intelligent presenta­

tion in the magazines and papers upon whirl the
masses feed their minds. Business relations, inter­
national affairs, the matter of sex, all are treated a»
if they were independent of morality, as if Christ»
had nothing to say, or as if what He said ha 1 no
great force or validity.
It is hardly honest to reproach Christianity \ 'th
a failure to bring peace and prosperity to a world
that has been denying and ignoring Christ. There
is more than an odor of bad faith in the pronoun :e-
ments of politicians and intellectuals accusing Ct is-
tianity of failing to avert the present catastrophe.
There is a positive stench. These were the very
gentry who were responsible for excluding religious
leadership from the Versailles conferences. They
were sure that Christianity was a lifeless thing.
How can a corpse be responsible for the present de­
bacle? What support have they given to strenght-
ening Christian truth and morality among the
peoples of Europe and America?
Let the foolish and the blinded put Christ ir.to A
tomb, and seal it, and block it with huge stones and
set guards to watch, lest He escape back into their
world. If they will read history, they will dis­
cover that He shall return, breaking thru the bonds
men place around him as the sun sweeps away the
morning mist.

Chap. Newman Says
Major Harmon received the fol­
lowing letter from Chaplain Victor
7. Newman stationed somewhere in
North Africa. Chaplain Newi>. an
was formerly the Post Catholic
chaplain. Excerpts of the lettsv:
Dear Major:
Say hello to the Red Cress
bunch — The day’s washing accom ­
plished, I now sit on a packing box
and use another for a desk. I am
dressed in shorts and shoes, plus
my helmet.
The African sun, combined with
African dust has produced a deep
tan; so I now almost pass as a na­
tive son.
Helmets Versatile
The helmets are most useful
for all manner of purposes. We
wash our clothes, our faces, feet
and other parts of our anatomy
in them. We do get to use the
showers twice a week, such a<
they are but are dirty again
by the time you get back to your
pup tent.
It is a rugged life, but I feel as
fit as a marine. The ground is a
wee bit hard in places, and yea
wake up in the morning with sore
bones; so you are glad to get ot’t
for calisthenics in order to limber
up again.
Yesterday A.M. I celebrated
Holy Communion with a big pack­
ing box for an altar and lucky to
have that. I give Communion to
any baptized person, and ma-y
come.
I really like this life, excepting
the dirt. We are eating well now,
better than the average mess itl
the States. The meat is exception­
ally good. For the first few days»
we ate cold food out of cans.
Kindest regard? to all my friends»
—especially Daun, Smith, Hamer,
Duboff, Chaplains Bartell, Whet­
sell and Roberts. Please write.—»
Signed, Victor E. Newman.

hike he discovered his error ar.d
