That victory was won, as are all irrcat victories, a t a price. Nothing worth while; is ever ob­ tained for the asking, a tru th which was never more a fact than now, but which was never so little appreciated as in this atre of fi'ds and spurious philoMphies. Today we .war against evil, for, whatever may be .said about the conflict of empires, a t the back and .overshadowing all is the age-old struggle of good and evil translated into the international arena. The real issue is w hether all th a t this civilization of ours stands for shall survive or, give place to a brutal and atheistic savagery worse than any tha t ever pre­ viously existed, in th a t it is scientific. Many of us in those democracies may only, give lip service to Christianity, but .the ideas governing democracy and on which the foundations of true democracy rCst have as their b a ^ Christianity. Of th a t at least there can be no reasonable doubt. No Easter triumph could have been possible without Geth- semane, where the M aster made his decision to meet the cross. in ,this our day have shouldered the cross of war# in order that evil may not triuihph in the world, and. we must carry it until the spirit of atheistic savagery is brushed. 111 At present the Hun is ony beginning tv be afraid th a t ' in the end we may triumph.
