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."
