F R ID A Y , DECEM BER , 16 1916 BELGIUM AND QREECE, .The people o f this country have nab- urally watched with interest happen­ ings in-Belgium and Greece. Neutral rights have there been put to.risk by , the war, As for Crisis In Grs«cs Similar to .That in the United States In 1861 . our own fights, we can defend them. But Belgium, and Greece were too wegk. to " protect themselves. In a recent review o f the legal aspects in­ volved In both cases Professor Ellery C. Stowell- o f Columbia university sayB; “ The. allies, from ft technical and strictly legal point o f view, have vio­ lated the rights o f Greece against the will o f her government, But, looked at from a broader point o f vilw, we must take into account that the Greek people have sympathised with.the al­ lies and have opposed the policy of their government” If this is the. co r rent principle for nations to observe, then European powers would have been Justified in ruiuing tile United States in 1861. A majority o f the peo­ ple o f this country rtere opposed to the Inauguration o f Abraham Lincoln as the head-of the nation. A large section withdrew from the Union, and for the time being a majority o f the people .remaining' in the territory which did not withdraw sympathized with the protestants. The revolution­ ists, as they may be called In tbls case, resisted the government, and In the war which followed it was con- template*! in Europeat different stage* to Interfere in favor o f the revolution, Technically it was never admitted, that the citizens who withdrew had ceased to be citizens. As late ns 1864 President Lincoln .received a majority of only 400,006 in a vote o f 4,000,000* to .remain in office and prosecute the war against the 2,000,000 voters in arms. So the ^var between the States was a minority war, toe moral force o f organized government against pop­ ular will. GEORGE L. KILMER. LONG DELAY OF THE 8AL0NIKI COLUMN. Next to the failure of the expedition launched by the allies against Com stantlnople in 1915 stands their move against the Balkans by way of Salon- Ikl. An army “ of Th* Bulgarians Had Ample Tirtia to Declare For National be- - fenae. six nations,” sup posed to be 500,000 strong, Was gath­ ered on the soil of Greece, under too command of the French leader, General Sarrail. Little progress was made by this great drive to crush Bulgaria.by attack across the northern Greek border. Sarrall’s en­ emy lay In Bulgaria and conquered Servla, For some unknown reason, probably to remain unknown until aft­ er the war, this expedition was de­ layed until the Bulgarians had pre­ pared to defend their own soli and the newly won Servian territory. Appar­ ently the Btilgars fought the battle alone and Were able to save their own land from experiencing the fate o f Servla. Comparisons are frequently made be­ tween the figures of/organized mili­ tary strength in this country and those o f the foremost nations of the old world. Russia with "an available re­ source o f 80,000,000 men maintained before the war an iarmy of 1,384,000, At the same time England had 138,000 men, with 2,743,080 reserves, Japan had 250,000men and 1,250,006 reserves, In every case the ultimate reliance was the great reserve force. Such re-, serve may be constituted in many ways. The size o f the standing army at peace strength does not always de­ termine it. A short term of army Service which will train a large num­ ber is one method, and another is to have a large body o f trained militia, With Some incentive to get into too big War game Sotne time and many prospeets o f being forced in, anyway, it is Inconceivable that little Itoumaniu war not prepared as to training and equipment. Preparedness didn't save her, but that is no argument against preparedness. It didn't keep her out o f war, Which fact also Is no argument against preparedness. Had Itohmania not been prepared to, the limit o f her men and resources she njould nmhmht- edly have been overrun ere this and even might have become a battle- ground, like Belgium and Polnhd, be t land* and homes ravaged by contend- IngarmiM. LESSON TEXT—Rev. Sill-7, 22-27, GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, the taber­ nacle o f God Ja with men, and he ehall dwell with them, and they shall be Ms, people,—Rev. 21:3. As we approach the end o f the year, our, minds turn from th® imperial city, where last we have any authentic rec­ ord o f Paul, to the eternal city in which he has so long resided. In les­ son ten we studied Jesus Christ in his resurrection glory, the source o f all .power, King o f Kings and Lord o f Lords for the redemption o f the hu-. man race. In Lesson 11 We studied the glorified Christ who Is actually working through Ills churches ns toe ! representatives o f his kingdom upon earto- The succeeding chapters de­ scribe in symbols and pictures the dis­ cipline and training of God’s people during the long generations that fol- r lowed, hi; the lesson for today, <vo } have a vision of the final triumph o f Christianity when it shall have ac­ complished its work o f redemption in this world. |. The New Heaven and the New Earth (vv. 1-7). John in vision saw the con­ summation o f the work o f Christiana ity, the visible answer to the prayer which Jesus Christ taught his disciples to pray, “ toy kingdom come, toy will be done on earth as in heuVen.” Heaven, as well as earto, has been in­ vaded" and polluted by sin, but both alike are to be made new; (I Peter 8 :10, 11,13), The true Jerusalem, o f which Solomon’s Was but a type, Is o f heav­ enly and divine origin. It comes down out o f heaven from God. We know nothing o f toe Inhabitants o f toe uhl-' verse o f which we' are a part, but here we have some scriptural Indication of- that place where God's children are to be with him eternally.' The kingdom of, God is among you, but It is even­ tually to be with God and Jesus in a peculiar and beautiful way, . John’s announcement came from out o f heav­ en and out o f toe' throne. (1) .It was a tabernacle o f God with men; rather he shall, tabernacle with men.' He is to pitch his tent among ns (John 1:14 R. Y. margJ I t is to be ‘ done eventually add ’permanently. This dwelling o f God among us lies at the foundation-of the blessedness and glo­ ries which, are to follow. (2) They shall be bis people. Israel bad been his people; all nations are to be his people in toe fullest sense. (3) God himself shall be with them, not only his tabernacle hut he, himself visibly, personally. (4) He shall b e their God, acknowledged to all his infinite claims, and*he to them all that God is of, love, power, wisdom, - holiness and glory. (5) He Bhall wipe away .every tear from their eyes. There will not be a single grief or heartache, unsatisfied longing or tear, for God shall wipe them, away, and they will stay wiped away. (0) Death shall be no more. Of all tbe enemies, death is the last one which shall be taken from too earth. It Is sweet to know that this last enemy is to be conquered. (7) There shall, be no mourning, crying or pain any more. Every sorrow, agony, remorse, gloom, disappointment gone forever;, death, tears, mourning all passed away. It Is hard for us to com­ prehend the majesty and sweep of this great and glorious promise. (See I Cor. 15). 11. Tho Coming Light and Glory (w . 22-27), The intervening verses are a wonderful description o f the founda­ tion walls and gates o f the city. There will be no temple in that city for it will not be needed. Instead o f tho temple which stands for toe temple of earth there Is to .be the presence o f God, himself, but the lamb is also to the midst o f it. Nothing can more force­ fully Impress upon us the deity and pre­ eminence o f Jesus Christ, the atoning Iamb, slain before toe foundation of, the world. This city is to be a city o f light and glory. It will not be an il­ lumination by gas nor electricity, for the glory o f the Lord shall lighten it. Summary. What are the lessons for our day from this vision o f the new heaven and toe new earth7 First: That the golden age o f the Bible has not yet token place. There arc better times to como than anything the world has yet seen. Second: We have here the positive assurance of the success of our leader and the victory o f Chris­ tianity to its conflict with evil. Third: The golden Ideal o f heaven is the means by which we Can test our dally lives and the whole course o f our con­ duct, The*questlon we should con­ stantly ask is, “Are we going to this heavenly Ideal?” Fourth: The gktes o f that city are open; an angel is at each gate, and shall keep out all evil, God desires that all men everywhere' should repeat, and Is not willing that any Should periBh. When the final assize shall have passed, no one will say that God did not give him a chance nor seek to in­ spire him to a place o f eternal joy at his right hand, Again there is to be federation o f the forces o f good. Today we too often find Christian people divided.
