MORE DISCIPLINE
NEED OF WORLD TODAY
"It is no use for us to sit still and expect Gpd to deliver us. We have got to put our own house in order and work out our own salvation," said Commissioner J. Evan Smith, of the Salvation-Army, speaking at the midday intercessory service yesterday. "We all cherish our democratic freedom, but have we not carried- this freedom to extremes? Has not pur democracy run riot, so that ■ people generally nave gone their own way— the selfish way—so that today we have a much boasted freedom with very little discipline. . ■ ■
"What is required, I suggest, is a restoration of discipline in the State, in family life, and in us individually. Before we can expect God to come to our help there must be an abandonment of self-seeking, and self indulgence, and an exemplification in our own lives of the principles for which we are fighting."- .
