Tliere has been a iiiarkcd renewal of air warfare'

within the past two weeks, our despatches on one occasion telling of iiiiieteeii air duels in one day. The liritish press tells of a new German air machine. the Fokker. which is expected to rcvolutionise air warfare. The Daily I\lail’s correspondent at British headquar- trs says: " '|`hc events of the past few weeks make it clear that we have reached a new stage in aerial war- fare. A certain change has occurred with the new year. Its herald is the Fokker. This machine is not, as many think. always under control. hovering al6ft, to descend like a plummet on_aiiy encroacher. The

at (iettysbiirg, when 90,000 nicn in blue stood over iigaiiisi 50.000 iiieti in grey; the battle lasted three days. fifty thousand men were left upon the battlefield.

" livery hillside in the South was billowy with the

graves of its dead; an army of crippled' heroes came home. and another army of widows and orphans went conifortlcss through the land. \\`as God in that war? Look at the main issues involved-iiothing less than the slave question ; it was a war to vindicate the worth of the individual freedom. \\'as God intthe Aniericaii Civil \\`ar? How could it be otherwise in a war that produced such beneficcnt results to thc whole human race as the eiiiancipiitioii of the slave?

" Charles .\lai'tel broke once and for ever the

power of the Saracciis at Poitier. \\"as God in that war? Surely. But for the victory of .\Iartcl, it has been truly said, Bloliaiiinictlaii doctors inight have been teaching the Koran in Oxford to-day.

" But could God not attain His end by other means

if llc is omiiipotciit? The same question has been asked niztiiy tinies before. and will he asked many times in days to coiiic. It arises from a wrong conception of God .-\s long as people think of God as an individual. as a Being separate and distinct from the universe, as a kind of invisible king, people will continue to ask this qiicstioii- and all nianiicr of doubts will bc brctl in the mind as to the Divine character.

" The real qticstioii, however. is not whether or not

God could attain lilis end b_v other nieaiis than war. The rexil question is, after all, the nature of life itself. We ask, \\`hy all this sacrifice of precious life? Be- cause sacrifice is the law of life. \\'htit does this tnciin? lt iiieiins that there can be no pi‘ogi'css without sacrifice. lf you wisli the better you have to sacrifice the good; if you wish thc best you have to sacrifice the better. You sacrifice one thing when you choose another. livery choice of one thing involves thc sacrifice of something else.

“If life is to bc continued on the upward direction.

then thc lower has to be sacrificed. If life is not to be contiiiucd in llie upward direction then the higher has to bc siicriliced for the sake of thc luwcr. That is the law of the good, or the law of God, or the law of life. The law of sacrifice is not sonictliing arbitrarily inipo.~cd upon us by sonicone outside of life; it is inherent in thc nature of life itself:

" .\ll through life l sec a cross '

" \’\"'lierc Sons of (i0d yield up their breath;

" 'l`hcre is nlo gain except by loss.

" 'l`hcre is no life except by dciith._

" \\'herever sacrifice is made for the higher there

(iod is. tiotl is iii the war. and behind it, and Britain is the right arm of omiiipotence in the world at this iiioinent. She is the great l\lessiah nation of thc modern world. giving her life for the life of the world, and her greatest heritage to coming generations will be her moral passion and her spiritual idealism."
