Tn this age of great attain-
ments in the arts and sciences,
in the trades and professions, we
hear much said of the duty of
“aiming high,” meaning, there-
by, to excel irv’seme particular
line.
The farmer is urged to devel-
op his soil to the maximum of
fertility, the stockman to develop
his iive stock to the highest point.
The manufacturer^ not satisfied
with an inferior article, but must
produce the best. The lawyer
aspires to be a leader in his pro-
fession, while the doctor would
be a final authority on the ills of
the flesh.
This is all commendable and as
it should be, for it is just such
an universal ambition to excel
that has made of these United
States the great nation she is to-
day.
But there is one ‘‘industry” in
which, without careful thought,
we as a nation are in grave dan-
ger of retrogration—of disinte-
gration. That is in the building
of character, in the making of
good citizens.
Too many of us appear content
to live just within the law,, to
keep just within the lines, giving
scarcely a thought to the higher
duties of life that lie before us-
. Should we not give more at-
tention to the creation of a high
grade’of manhood, as well as a
perfect horse or hog? Should
we not strive to produce men
who will raise the standard of
citizenship to a highber plane
than that to which we, their fa-
thers, have attained?
The old adage, “like father,
like son,” has Jong ago been ex-
ploded in the brute creation. It
can be so in the realm of human
affairs—is so in innumerable in-
stances.
While it may not be possible
for us to scale earth’s loftiest
mountain peak, yet does that
give us license to grovel at the
base of the meanest hill?
To reduce a sermon to a few
words, we achieve nothing in
life that is higher than the goal
to which we aspire, for the des-
tiny of each man is controlled
by the quality of his own mind.
How high do YOU aim in life?

THE MENACE OF WAR
To the Editor: j
Truly the menace of : war has
hung over us for many years;
and when war burst in all its
dread reality upon us, it only
gave a feverish stir to war pre-
parations such a9 went far be-
yond the gigantic efforts that al-
ready had been made. In fact,
all the colossal piling up of ar-
maments seemed but a feeble
thing as compared with what has
come since then.
!
And now, as never before, all
are looking forward to the time
when they hope the menace of
war shall be destroyed. England
and France, for example, see
that the only hope of peace is to
crush Germany so completely
that she will not be able to
threaten tfiem again for a gener-
ation to come at least This is
one means that is put forth to
secure world peace and to des-
troy the world menace of war.
David Starr Jordan and others
have another way. It is a world
court of arbitration, the supreme
court of the nations, where every
question ordinarily settled by j
war shall be settled once and for
all by the supreme dictators of
world affairs. Hitherto all their
efforts have been but a fulfill-
ment of the old prophecy, “Say-
ing, Peace, peace, when there is
nopeace”—in other words, talk-
ing peace and making war. The
socialists, bound in a world coali-
tion, promised that there would
be no more wars. They had
enough men in every nation
pledged, to stand as socialists
against war. Socialists were
brothers. Brothers must not
fight. They all were *a mighty
union; and if any nation declared
war, they would declare a strike
on the war, and make it impocsi-
ble. When war’s alarms sounded,
the German socialists rallied to
war, forgot socialism to fight
English, French, and Russian so-
cialists. The big strike was nev-
er declared. Shall we blame
them for love of country? We
are not desirous of saying any-
thing here except to show the
failure of socialism to destroy
the menace of war. 1
In the United States, the hope
of destroying the menace of war
is, “to be thoroughly prepared.”
This is not new; A prominent
ruler of one of the nations of Eu-
rope is credited with having said,
not long ago, that after this war,
the nations will prepare more
thoroughly than ever for war's
eventualities. He is reported as
saying that the nations will not
forget the lesson of Belgium;
that it is Switzerland’s and Hol-
land’s effective soldiery that
saves them from the war; that
the only safeguard is, to be pre-
pared. This has been the talk
for a generation; and when war
comes, we find that preparation,
instead of preventing war, makes
war a thousandfold more terrible.
The onjy logical way of destroy-
ing the menace of war, is to get
at the cause of it. Removing

war? There is but one authority
that can tell us finally and fully-
“Whence come wars and
wdience come fightings among
you? come they not hence, even
of your pleasures that war in
your members? Ye lust, and
have not: ye kill, and covet, and
hypocriey. And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace
for them that make peace."
James 8:13-18.
Remember the words of Jesus,
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called sons of
God.”
There may be what are consid-
ered righteous wars, or wars of
self-defense; but always there is
some one who is invading, else
there would be no‘ need of self-
defense. And why the invasion?
We must go back to the Scripture
we have quoted. There is only
one means of destroying the men-
ace of war. and that is, to accept
the principles of righteousness as
revealed in the Bible. This the
world refuses to do. Every other
means is but a subterfuge, and
will fail. By none of the means
that the world is using, will the
menace of war be destroyed. Ar-
mageddon will he the ultimate
clash, and then will come the
end. ;
Very sincerely yours,
Wm. Johnson.
