Invocation Lord God of Hosts, the nations’ peace, In this great time of need we cry: “Great God, give us the victory, And from this pall of war release.” But as it seems—and if it be, That thy great hand of Destiny Thou stay’st, that we may see Thine own eternal omnipotence, Help us to learn humility, And come to thee in penitence. Great God of might, we are the right, For as on Christ’s side the Freedom stains Did well atone, Our red blood this altar claims— To make us one. Sweet Christ who died upon the tree, That ALL might live in liberty, Today we ask thy aid divine, Thy bounteous mercy—the blessed sign Of thy good will and charity. Dwight Muncie. Tlie Resp onse Woden and his gods of the North have defied and mocked our Christ. The German Kaiser has challenged our ideal of government, has threatened our hopes for humanity, for peace and justice in every land; and hence has menaced our existence, for in these we have our life. And we are at war— Woden against Christ—past against future—Wilhelm against our cherished ideals—we are at war and the battle rages tempestuously and thousands die and thousands mourn and the end is not yet. A monster has risen out of the Black Forest, even as the Annedoti came to the Babylonians, to warn us of the intolerable horror of the materialism which was seizing upon us. The Annedoti were terrible, hideous in aspect, and monstrous in form, but they were wise and their counsel was the inspiration of Babylon. The “beautiful blond beast” is terrible, too, and he has sounded his warning. He is wise, too, in his phlegmatic, methodical way, for he has taken advantage of the weakness of our individualism. He has sounded his warning. Let us heed. This super-beast must be put down! Materialism must not prevail! Spirituality, individual liberty, peace and mercy and all that is higher, must triumph! We are at war. We fight for what is sacred to us. We are at war and the battle continues unabated and the slain multiply and the mourners are unnumbered, and still the end is not. The reveille of the ages has sounded. The vista exposed by the glimmerings of dawn is glorious beyond conception. The reveille has sounded and we are awakening and the mists of the ages are falling from our eyes. The reveille! We have made, we are making, the response. John Spearman. Page Nineteen
