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." ''
