does peace make you weary?
When the armistice was signed edi
turs managerial and literary, settled
hiu V in their chairs and wondered
what could he so interesting as war.
They had been on the firing line more
than five years even though they sel
dom traveled ten miles from their,
sanctums and they rediscovered the
old secret that the human race likes
war The editors, as well as their
readers, being American idealists,
hoped for an early peace, and yet :
when the war ended they realized!
that the curtain had rolled down cold
lv and forbiddingly on the most fas-j
cinatmg of dramas
The Marne had become just a river
again where the sunshine and the
shadows frolicked as of old and where
the little fishes streamed away in
soothing schools.
Romance had tied back to the shel-.
ter of novels. l’ea» •• had spread itsj
lazy wings over the earth. The edi
tor* sighed and murmured with
< )ma r
“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and
thou ,
“Reside me singing in the wild
, erness
“Where paradise now."
Rut neither the loaf of plain living,
nor the wine of riotous living could
compensate for the thrills of war
tare.
"It is well that war is so terrible,
else we should all come to love it.” f
Haiti <iencral Robert K. Lee.
No one, except an incurable mili
tarist, would admit that he loved war.;
Rut war is interesting It is one ot
the most absorbing of the things that:
interest mankind.
War allures, not because it deals
in death, but localise it brings out
and intensifies life Or if the gamble
w ith death has something of witchery i
in i: in mini inc sinus 01 men, yei. on
the whole, it is the struggle of life j
with life, of hiitmtn soul with soul,
that easts its sorcery over us.
And when wars end we seek dl
version according to our various
bents The Iterlinese go back to danc
ing The poet goes back to his verse,
the scholar to his hooks, the scientist
to his germs, the astronomer to his
stars, the theologian to his God. The
human soul cries nut to be interested.
That is why the editors swiveled
uneasily in their chairs. How should
lhey lie able lo Interest the reader
now that they could no longer dip
their jiens in the tires of war. Once
more they must scribble in deep i
black about industrial affairs, govern
ment ownership, taxes, public Im
provements, good roads and bad
roads, budgets, baseball, tennis and
perhaps occasionally a prize fight.
It was a most discouraging pros
pw (. The world would stifle of ennui.
•The tumult and the shouting dies,
'The captains and the kings de
part—•"
And when they depart the life as
Mimes its prosaic tinge once more.
Iiut. if you will believe one editor,
life is still interesting. The mental j
state we have been describing Is a
disease or a temporary dementia. The 1
world, which has been seeing red. will
see with normal eyes once more. And
then the jaundice will disappear.
Wo shall find the old things attractive ;
again—the books, the plays, the
sports—aye, even work.
"Old thoughts, old hopes, old aspira
tions,
“Outlive men's lives and lives of
nations."

This community may well thank its
lucky stars that it has for a health
officer a man who is not afraid to do
what he considers his duty, and who
will not take any chances, and also
a city council which is willing to back
him. Chances are that the "flu”
would already be among us if it were
not for the efficient quarantine sys
'em that he inaugurated and main
tained against all opposition. As it
stands now the chances are very
small indeed that h will get into this
■ ommunity. and as long as the quar
antine is rigidly maintahied. there
' ill le- no chance at all. - Fairbanks

l Kxcerpts from a sermon preached bv
Ifcv. A. G. Shriver, pastor, f’resby- j
li rian church.)
Jesus was passing through (laliiee
en route to Jerusalem for the ins!
lime as He approached a village on !
Hie border of Samaria and Judea, lie j
met ten men who were leapers. They
cried unto Him, '‘Jesus, Master, have I
mercy on us " Jesus answered. “Go j
and show yourselves unto the j
priests." Ten start hut one returns [
to thank Jesus. Nine were guilty of !
ingratitude. One of the predomina
sins of the human race is Ingratitude,
"ingratitude thou marble fiend,"
Shakespeare.
Who Are the Ten?
This group contains various kinds
"f faith, vocations, social standings,
and shades of intelligence. The ten
represent pretty much the race ns
i whole today. Who largely worship
at the altar of materialism, who trust
in fate and appear to be irresponsible
lo God or man. Isaiah 10-13, express
es it. “By the strength of my hand 1 !
have done il and by my wisdom, for
I am prudent?”
Who Are (lie Nine?
When the nine Jews and one Sam
aritan realize they are healed of lep
rosy the nine continue on their way
t<> the priests to get only bodily
cleansing. We find these nine repre
sent millions today, who are constant
recipients of God’s blessings and nev
er thank Him for a one. Some feel
• hat God is under obligation to do
this for us each day, whether or not
we ever express our gratitude to Him.
Did you thank Him for your recovery
from the fiu or any other illness in
life: an escape from serious injury,
or a family disgrace; a financial em
barrassment or for His patience as
we grovel in our ignorance? Ingratl
tude thou marble fiend. Omc a pas
tor kept a record of two thousand
souls, who believing they were near
death promised (Iml to live aright, if
spared. Twenty years later he found
hut two who kept their word with
God. Base ingratitude! What rails
es it? Thoughtless, pride, envy,
eowardiee and procrastination In
stead of attending church to thank
God for His daily blessings people to'
to movies, pool halls, dances ami cab
arets. They are the nine of today.
Thankless,
Who is the One?
The Samaritan returned to offer
thanks unto Jesus. Healed 01 this
loathsome disease, he was allowed to
return to family, friends and business
Why shouldn't he thank God for those
privileges? Wouldn't you? H, is a
type of those who have been redeem
ed from sin. disgrace, bankruptcy, or
healed. They arc penitent, humble of
spirit, faithful in services unto God. i
Gratitude heightens the enjoyment of
life and makes glad the heart of God.
Thank God'for every gift
