M THE JACK o' LANTERN g gg g destinies of the universe. Love is the necessary asset to belief. Without it, destruction and ruin are certain. God created Adam in his own image and from his ribs, made Eve, to love Adam. Adam was the limb of the tree of God. God is love. Therefore, Eve was created to love God. When the serpent tempted Eve, the manifestation of pure love was lacking. Eve was forever turn- ed to shame before the world. Just so in nations and persons of the pre- sent day world. Those with love, the all powerful factor, in their exis- tence, are the survivors and the beacons who shall light the way for the rest of the world. Q The United States has had the least wars of any nation of the earth and her position to-day is the greatest. She is the criterion of perfec- tion and the model for others. The great world war made necessary the rebuilding of many of the former great nations of the globe. Are they planning their own future existence? No, they are looking to the U. S. for their plans and policies. The Unied States has proved the measure of success which attends the well regulated republic. Since the war, republican government has been the basis of the - new regime of dozens of the nations ravaged by egotistical Kulture. Why is a republic great? Lincoln said in his immortal speech at memorable Gettysburg, a govern ment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth, and it sholl not, for wherever there is brotherly contact, the ever working machinery for the good of mankind, LOVE is there al- so. ' And where love is, everything that is right, is there also. The possibility of future wars is probably less to-day than it has ever been before. The degree to which love and understanding are being manifest evryday makes the possibility of coniiict null. If we can learn to love one another we are brothers and brothers do not fight. Let me emphasizethe fact that if brothers do fight they do not love one another. In the lowest realm of the world, the animal kingdom, love is as evident as in our lives. Note the tender care the male robin gives to his mate, He brings her abundant food and nourishment while she is en- gaged in the perpetuation of her race. He gives he the tender care of a true and loving partner. What is this but the further manifestation of the spirit of love? Love is wherever we go, wherever we stay. The most wicked places on the face of the earth have there, a true lover. The barren desert, the dense jungle, the watery swamp, the depthless ocean-all have lovers. The savage of Africa or the wild Nomad of the Sahara knows what love means and is. The degree of refinement or civilization has nought to do with love. It has only to., do 'with the manner of manifestation. Every race has its way of displacing the true brotherly spirit. If we learn to control ourselves and pattern our lves after those who have achieved greatness OUR lives may become great. The loveand emulation of some great character will in turn develop a greater love of the human race. TIS LOVE THAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUNElD. g E ..16,-. X ' 2 X .
