played in the Great War. Many who are oder remember the breve women of both the North and South who in the Civil War gave them- selves unstiniedly to the service of their country and to the struggle for the right as they saw it.

What they did the women over the sea are doing today. And it is what womEn will alurays do, for it l5 one of the miracles of the feminine temperament that it, always rises to meet an emergency. When the need arises it turns the weakling into a tower of strength. it make; the coward who is afraid of a mouse face a lion without a quiver of fear and meiamorphoses the leader of the Peace Lcague into a. militant fighter.

So fur, we women of the United States are only confronting in our

‘thoughts the horrors with which our sisters acrossthe water are grappling

in reality. Our men still come home to dinner every day and growl over the roast being either too rarc or too done. Our little children still play around our feet of an evening and gas masks are no part of a. bubys lnyetfc. We can still buy all the food we can pay for at the grocery, and all that we know about war is what we read in the newspapers.

May God in His mercy keep us thus safe and prevent the terrible conflict that is devmtutlrig Europe from touching us. But the woman who does not realize that it will be a miracle if we do not become involv- ed in it is simply befooli herself. She is stultlfying herself by believ- ing what she wants to be leve and refusing to face the truth.

For in this day there is no space nor distance nor isolation between nations. We are knit together by bonds of steel and electric wires that we could not break if we would Fan. sceemships and aeroplanes and radio have made u; one vast family and we can no longer ask: Am I my UYOglGlIS keeper? We are all brothers and responsible for each others con uc .

And now i/wo great ideologies have clashed, The one believes in free- dom, ln decency of life, in worshiping God and keeping His wmmond- merits; the other believes in despotism, in taking away from the people all freedom of thought and action; it seeks to destroy religion and all that is spiritual 1n man. How long the struggle between these two be- liefs will be or which will triumph in the end no one may say.

Therefore, it is this crisis that we women here at home face as well as our sisters abroad. and we must. prepare ourselves to meet it. We must keep ourselves calm and unembittcred as for a; this is poslblc in such a. time as hysteria. We must try to be Just in our judgments

to sce thin s as clearly as we may through the fog of rumors with which

the,,alr is _ We must try to live sanely, quietly and soberl , as be- fits those who are lookirgg‘ on at the greatest tragedy the worm lips ever seen and who know its sdow is over their houses also.

I once knew on old women who, in fclling how she had met the vicissitudes of life, would ssy. "and l hesricned my heart.” It seems to me that that is s homely phrase that we might well adopt as a motto in these times of stress. Let us hearicn our hearts: let us call upon whatever reserve of strength and courage and fortitude emf faith and hope we have to meet whatcver the future has in store for us, secure in the faith that G0d's still in His heaven and that in His way, which may not, be our way. He will in the end make 1t ell right with the world. DORUIHY DIX
