‘QIIITIANITY AND QII ‘ Iro-amnespondent

In times of crisis the last book of the Bible recovers the appeal which it often loses when the world i; out- wardly anquil. Parts of “the Revelation of St. John" must always remain difficult and obscure. since to many oi the allusions in it the key 15 now lost. Yet other parts of the book shine with a xicw szunific- ance. a trew value. and a new com- fort when the y are searched in scu- sons of anxiety “tr distress. 1t was to console and hearten in such a sea- son, indeed, that the book was writ- ten. It. is itself "crisis literature." composed when the forces of evil threatened to destroy all that makes human ‘life worth while. and the temptation to despair of God and goodness was strong.

the writer doe: la to insist fill the powers of sin and misery. hO\V€\'Er' terrible, are transient. This thought reaches its climax in fhc last two chapters. picturing a new heaven and. a new earth," and a time when all who have been faith- ful and cottratzeous will be received into the City cf God. The rich im- agery which describes the City in- cludes a tie-tail of special value for our own time. In the ntitist of the Citv stands the tree of life. bearing truit each ntonth of the year-an Old Testament IILTLITC given a new meaning. The fruits are now those of the Christian character. perpet- ually renewed. and “the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." The iniltlence of Christian- itv is to assurc and cure those grievous wounds in rtational life which sin and ignorance have in- flicted

That the nations need healing is clear enough to-day, while more and more the truth is bcittg recognized that the one kind of hc-alint! which can be efficacious and lasting is spiritual. Even if as vet men are loth to associate international poli- tics directly with religion. at least they have reached the stage of ad- mitting that good will, conscience. and forbearance must be the main factors in making war and itshcr- rors impossible. ‘Tragic experience has shown how futile are any others lf these are excluded. Without the cooperation of that rixht spirit which Christiana recotnize as div- .

kllllllllbfllln,l'flltlfi.fil0lutfi economic arrangements can achieve no real Deuce. At best what they can bring about is a protracted armis- tice. the strain of which is little less than that of war.

It would be obviously nit-fair to say that the nations an steeped in sin. It is true, however, that mil- lions of people who themselves are Christians find themselves linked with systems which are fundamen- tally pagan. and acquiesce 1n being governed by those systems. There- fore the nations are wounded. and the poison of the wounds from which they suffer~the poison oi’ hate, distrust. evil-speaking, and envy—can be healed only by the leaves from the tree of eternal life.

Not suddenly or swiftly will this remedy be applied. There are hide- ous realities io-day which make it seem as distant as ever. None the less, there is a crowing movement towards it and an increasi readi- ness. shared by people o many lands, to recognize‘ the potency oi LIICVSDIIIE tn shaping the destiny of nations. Often in the past the underlying good in human nature reasserted itself in the darkest moments. and the principles of the Sermon on the Mount. after being

derided or forgotten. were justified -

once more. However dark the world. God rtirzns and. sooner or later. the nations will be healed by the leaves of l-Iis tree of life_

_ Meanwhile the individual Christ- ian need not suppose that he can do nothing except wait and Dray. Everv man and woman who leads a Christian life is activelv helping God inpa time of crisis. By showing re- ligion without shame. by doing sim- ple acts of kindness. by sharing the anxieties of the timid and encourag- lIill them so that fear is mastered by bflhlShlIlE bitterness of thouszht and speech-by such means every ordinary person can take leaves from the tree of l1fe.an:i. use them to heal. Always in his own heart will remain the certainty of Gods ulti- mate triumph. He will know. like St, Paul. that the sufferinss of this present tzme are not worthy to be compared with the zlory that shall be revealed. He will rest on the knowledge that evil is temporal and 200d eternal. and that beyond this world of strife is the home where

sorrow and suffering cannot come. and all tears are wiped away.

DROP THE FIGHTING WORDS THAT MESS UP MARRIAGE

Many Family Spats Can B-e-Avoided Antd Life Will Be More Pleasant

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-We have been married a. year and ever since my husband and I have done nothing but nag at each other, altbomh we love each other very much. I wouldn't be single again for anything, but it would be so much better if we got along together. We both work and are making good tncne . One thing we quarrel about is that he doesn't like to p0 out very m . When I want to go to a football game. he says all I th nk of is spending money and going out and being happy and gay. Well, I do think of being happy and 81W. but not in his 98MB. We H6

_ saving money to build a home anc then have children and that is why he is anxous to save and says I spend too much money. but I don't. When we go out he acts so sweet,. ut the minute we step in our little apartment he says things that hurt me very much. How can we make our homo happier? LUOIILLE.

‘rhccuref

ANSWER- or nagging is like the cure for drink. Stop dciurg it. It is simply a matter of willpower and ng enc-ughself-con-

trol to shut your teeth on the word that you know is the fighting word and that is ust as good for a domestic brawl as a. nickel is or a ginger

e. Marriage is a rummy business any way you look at it. but there is nothing so strange about it as that otherwise intelligent men and women bring so little commonsense to the salu- tion of their problems. They know, for instance. that marriage is one ori’ the acts of our lives whose consequences we can never undo. Even divorce r1065 110i; Hid 1E5 effects upon one, for an unhappy marriage cha es one’s whole character and outlook on life. Hence it is of the utmost mpcrtance to every cou- ple to make their marriage a success. Yet apparently the great majority of husbands and wives make n'o real eflort to do so.

DAILY SPAT IS AVOIDABLE

This is the more unaccountable because the universal hope that lures most people into marri e is of a quiet, peaceful home in which a man and. woman who love etw other live together in harmony and amity. Yet the number of husbands and wives whose dream comes true is so small that they are marked individuals in any community. In most households the daily spat is just as much a part of the ritual as the three meals.

It undermines the home. it destroys the family morale. it kills the love of’ the husband and wife for each other. but the do nothing to stop it, as they would do if any other danger threatened eir marriage. Why they do not sit down together and work out a peace plan is one of the insoluble mysteries of the domestic relationship.

It is nonsense to say that the men and. women who get along amic- ably‘ with their bosses and their friends and neighbors can't get along wi each other. They could if they would only treat their own the way they treat strangers.

o a a a FLIGHT OI‘ YOUNG PEOPLE

DEAR. MISS DIX-I am a stranger in a. strange city where I have recently come to take a. good job, and my roblem is finding a way to

meet. young people of my own age, especia y nice young men. Surely there are ways provided by the city in which decent young ople can b2- ccme acquainted. Boys on the street and in cars seem on too friendly

are not the sort of acqhaintunces a girl ys on the streets who look just as lovely as I am but that does me no good. I can't walk up to them and say: Howdy you do? 1 am lonesome and so are you. Let's step out together." There should be somewhere that would. be a. common ground where we could meet and become acquainted in a more conventiogal fashion

to start a conversation, but the can trust. ts of times I see

ANSWER-The churches have tried to solve this problem as fr: as they can. Virtually all of them have young people's societies and clubs

and ve weekly dinners and entertainments where young geople can get toget r and get acquainted, but the trouble seems to e in etting ' eno h young men to go around to attend these functions. So most y they

rema n dove affairs}, and that doesn't make it very exciting for the young women who have come to the city husband hunting under the misappre- hgnsion that game was plentiilul and easily snared in the canyons of the b towns.

As a. matter of fact. eligible young men .01" even young men able to show a young girl a good time ,are about as scarce as lion's teeth in every big city, because it takes so m-uch money to live on in a. city that the majority of men have all that they can do to support themselves. Hence they put marriage as much out of their plans as thev do setting up a yacht. Likewise, amusements come so high that most of them haven't the price of taking girls to the theater or out to dinner. and somehow orange blossoms Just don't- seem to flourish in a city as tney do in small places where youngsters get married because everybody is doing it-

n t. girl has tremendous ambition and lots of ability, she may in th" end get a better paying job in the city than she would ever have had back home. but she will not have as 200d a time, nor will she have as gcod a

chance of ntarrlage as she would if she had stayed osoMaln sn-efitfx u ' u Do Your Letters Add to lDDLE-AGE Pa...»
