THE GAZETTK-T1MES. HKTTNEK. OREGON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1918. PACB TWO Glory In Excelsis Deo. (From St. Louis Globe Democrat.) : Glory to God in the highest, anil on earth peace. g-fO'l will towards nv'n." Nineteen centuries ao. St. Luke tells us. a choir of impels sang to a group of shepherds on the hills without K thlehein. 'v nuglit we know angels may have sung at other times and other places to earthly auditors,. but tbls is the only instance of record that has received gen eral acceptance as a h'storial verity, mid whether we believe the sacred story or not wv cannot doubt that the message of tl:; coles! ial anthem is one that expresses the feeling of hoavm toward mankind. And we may be st-re that, although our ears are not attuned to its seraphic hai monies, the great supernal choir is' voicing today the s:me joyous il'imo that was heard by the .lu dean shepherds. For there is peace today, peace on earth, after the greatest and bloodiest war in the world's history. Tn every city in Christendom the bells are ring ing in glad acclaim, and even in the pagan lands the notes of joy are striking the ear with a new sound and a new meaning. The hearts of men and women in every country save Germany, and of many even there, no doubt, are filled with such an ecstasy that words utterly fail to give it expression. Never since the creation has joy been so nearly universal among mankind, and never has there been greater occasion for universal gladness. Whatever may be the conditions of the final treaties of settlement, the acceptance by Germany of the terms of armistice dictated by the allied governments and the United States ends the war. There is no possibility of a resumption of hostilities. The world war is over. After four years and three months ol Titanic struggle, after the destruction of minions of lives and of treasure of un measurable value, the supreme conflict of all the ages lias ceased. The black pall has lifted and once more the earth can smile; once more men can go on with the affairs of life in the broad sunlight of a new day. . "Peace on earth., good will toward men," sang the angels on that morning long ago, and assuredly the two things should go together. -That is the idealism of heaven, and it should be so on earth. War and hate, peace and love, they are by the very nature of thing inextricnblv associated, although love in the past has never distinguished peace as hate has distinguished and animated war. But through all the hatred of this great conflict the light of love has been hurining, beaming good will toward men, and the principles that have developed from the struggle, the principles upon which permanent peace will finally be based, spring from love and not from hate. It was essentially good will toward men, good will toward the bleeding and ravished peoples of Europe, that brought 'us as a nation into this great war. It was good will toward men, good will toward all men, that inspired and actuated the wise and humane war policies of our great president. It is upon the funda mental principles of good will toward men that the peace treaty will be formulated. And in the peace that has now come, the great peace that passeth understand ing, good will toward men should be, and, we profoundly believe, will be, the dominating influence in the world's relations. The ''brotherhood of man" is no longer a phrase of fine sounding rhetoric, but by this colossal war, this great rebirth, of humanity, it has been made a tiling of reality in the opened hearts and broadened, minds of mankind. No longer are the people of other lands strangers to us, no longer are we strangers to tlim, no longer are we strangers anrbng ourslves. We know now our kinship. We have gone down into the valley of the shadow with them, and we have learned that we are of one blood and one flesh, sons and daugh ters of God. And who lias done this thing? Who has brougnt this victory of civilization to its splendid fruition? Not we. WTe are proud of our great share in this work. We are proud that we perceived our duty and plungexl with determination and enthusiasm into the task of its ful fillment. We are proud that we have arisen to the heights of tremendous accomplishment. We are proud of the spirit that has brought us together as one. Wc are proud of the heroism of our sons who have fought so valiantly. We are proud of the devotion of our men and women who have lalwred so gallantly for the cause. We are proud, immensely proud, of the fact thr.t the estab lishment of American ideals has been made the primary purpose of the war and that they are to be the essential principles of peace. We arc proud that it was given to us to become the deciding factor in the glorious con clusion. But we must remember that we have but shared in the work. We must not detract one whit from the splendor of other a.cliievemenis. We must not forget that each and every nation has played its part nobly m the strude. We 'must not forget the invincible spirit thai maintained an unbroken front through year- ot awiul, anguish. We in- i 'ix- to all of them, eivn to broken Russia, the full credit and honor and glory for the work the- have odne in preventing the tnumpn ot barbarism. It is .noag') Hint we have shared, splendidly siiared, in the vast achievement. It is ei.T.ugh Unit we have helped with all our might in the attainment of the victorv of righteousness over wrong. Nor mast we tor get that over nil lias been a Power that would not permit evil to triumph, a Power that has raised one obstacle after another to oppose its advancement, a Power that lias been ever present and ever guarding our destinies through the dark night of the earth's supreme trial. Ami although we may have often doubted it during the long hours of agony, we-can say today with profound conviction, as the morning dawns with the glory of " peace flung across the skies, that "God's in His heaven; "Ail 'a right with the world."
