+
+    "And God has thus sent me before you to prepare for you a
+    permanence on the earth and to save your lives by a great
+    deliverance."--Genesis xlv., v. 7.
+
+
+In a time of effort, suffering and grief such as this country has never
+before known, it is well that we should have frequent occasions for a
+review of the position in which we stand for a strengthening of our sinews
+to continue the struggle in the spirit of the high and noble resolve which
+induced our participation in it.
+
+This week-end will be a solemn occasion; it will draw together the
+religious bodies in a rare unity of thought and action. If there be in
+these times any who think themselves superior to the need of intercession
+and prayer they are not to be envied. For these are the days in which
+human values are changing and the folly of human pride and the weakness of
+human strength are brought home to men--the old-time wisdom of the humble
+heart is vindicated once more. And so we take advantage of the fact that
+we are again upon the threshold of a New Year to ask that the blessings of
+our God may still be poured upon us and those who, with us, are striving
+to right the wrong and to make the world the better and purer for our
+fight against injustice, barbarism and slavery. We of this generation feel
+that we are so ordering our actions--many of us so facing death--that we may
+be able to say to future generations: "God hath sent me before you to
+prepare for you a permanence on the earth and to save your lives by a
+great deliverance."
+
+The land in which we live is overshadowed, its people perplexed and
+exasperated by the fears and resentments of a fierce and desperate War:
+and we must needs strive for balance, both mental and moral, if we would
+not be swallowed up in the morasses of hate and vengefulness. Whilst we
+turn to our God for help in maintaining our just cause, which we cannot
+doubt is indeed His cause, we still must guard our actions and our
+thoughts, to prevent the blotting out of the moral issues that are at
+stake.
+
+It would be a wretched perversion of conscience to require of any man,
+condonation of the infamous cruelties and treacheries which have disgraced
+our foes during the last two years. The best elements in us rise in
+irrepressible repugnance before such pageants of wickedness as have
+clothed the famous name of Wittenberg with infamy and made the story of
+naval warfare a continuing record of wanton crime. No man can think,
+without shame, of the so-called civilisation and culture which could
+palliate such perversions of justice as those recalled by the fate of
+Nurse Cavell and Captain Fryatt.
+
+Yet there are two considerations that may help us to feel that the German
+people, so far from being truly represented by the miscreants who have
+organised and carried through the atrocities on land and on sea, are
+wantonly misled and disgraced by them.
+
+History includes the record of similar horrors perpetrated by other
+nations which nevertheless are justly reckoned among the best human
+material. May we not hope that the crimes of Germany in the twentieth
+century provide no truer index to the national character than did those of
+revolutionary France in the eighteenth?
+
+Psychology unites its testimony to that of History. Civilised man stands
+as the latest link of a long chain of advancement from aboriginal
+beasthood, and he retains within himself the germ of all his earlier
+traits, though these are increasingly suppressed and held in check by
+higher habitudes. Civilisation represents an elaborate system of auxiliary
+disciplines, designed to stifle as far as may be the brute in man and to
+strengthen the acquired qualities of justice, mercy and refinement.
+
+When some sudden catastrophe such as Revolution or War befalls, there is
+always great danger that that elaborate system of artificial auxiliaries
+to virtue will be broken down and the beast let loose in unchecked
+savagery. Unquestionably this gives the key to the atrocities that stained
+the French Revolution: it probably gives the key to the crimes of German
+warfare. It certainly leads us to the contemplation of the horrors from
+which we ourselves would be free--a contemplation which helps to make our
+Day of Intercession one not merely of prayer for victory and its material
+benefits, but for the ennoblement of our minds and the purification of our
+souls.
+
+The happenings of the past two weeks have led our thoughts to the
+possibilities of peace and the consideration of peace terms.
+
+May the peace, whenever it come, be worthy of the conflict that it ends, a
+peace which enthrones justice in the affairs of the world and banishes
+oppression. May the final treaty include specific provision for the trial
+and punishment of the men who have organised and carried out the crimes of
+the war. So shall resentment die, when it is realised that our victory is
+unstained with injustice, and the German people themselves are helped to
+return to the fellowship of civilised mankind. Thus shall the nations now
+at war at last be bound together by the ties of international goodwill. If
+we are able to realise these high aims then God will indeed "have sent us
+to prepare a permanence on the earth and to save lives by a great
+deliverance."
+
+How great is the debt we owe to those who are bearing the brunt of the
+struggle--how deeply we realise our dependence upon the manhood of this
+nation! We cannot allow a day set apart for supplication to come and go
+without more than a passing thought for those who have sustained wounds or
+suffered hardship for the maintenance of our integrity and our rights of
+existence as a nation.
+
+Many are the movements to which the War has given rise, which aim at
+alleviating the ravages of the combat. When we think that of the
+seven-and-a-half million Belgians left in Belgium, more than
+three-and-a-half millions are being fed by the free canteens or receiving
+relief in some form from the charity provided in the first place by the
+large-heartedness of the American people, we shall understand something of
+the vastness of some of the problems which arise only to be dealt with by
+outside agencies. The gallant stand of a gallant people is still continued
+both before and behind the German lines, where the Belgians are as
+stubbornly resistant to day as they were when their King drew his sword
+and said: "For us there can be no other answer." And the passive
+resistance of the imprisoned millions in Belgium to the compulsion and
+cajolery alike of their would-be friend, the enemy, is a factor in the
+German subduing process the world outside must appreciate. But the
+Belgians are paying the price. Their resources are diminishing day by day.
+The world's benevolence is dwindling and they are facing an immediate
+future wherein life's necessities will have to be defined in terms of the
+irreducible minimum. The whole nation, we are told, is growing so thin on
+the small ration that can be provided, that wasting diseases, due to
+under-nutrition, are increasing by leaps and bounds.
+
+These facts are here referred to, first and foremost, that we may pay some
+tribute, if only in thought, to these and our other brave allies who have
+suffered loss incalculable, and in the second place to direct our
+attention to our own more fortunate position and to remind us that amid
+all the devastation, the War is being commemorated by works of beneficence
+and mercy, works intended to show our sympathy for suffering and our
+gratitude to the God who is supporting us through these terrible days.
+
+He is not a good man who fails to employ every possible effort to supply
+the needs of those dependent upon him in his own household. No less is he
+a moral failure who does not lend himself to support every noble effort
+for the succour of those bound to him by the ties of religious faith,
+especially when suffering has come upon them through their faithfulness.
+And so no one could have any compunction in appealing to you as was done a
+short time ago for your own brethren. But we must not forget that he who
+builds a fence, fences out more than he can fence in. Israel must be
+faithful to his own, but his own includes not only the members of Israel's
+faith, who have the first claim upon him, but all the children of God, who
+are by the fact of their human birth, his brethren; and to-day the appeal
+is made to us on behalf of those to whom we have to pay something we
+_owe_. The sick and wounded of our soldiers and sailors have a claim we
+cannot ignore: their misfortunes have been brought about by their devotion
+to our country's cause. It is enough that they must suffer for us: we must
+see that everything possible is done to alleviate the pains they undergo.
+The Sick and Wounded Fund asks for your help, and, as I know you, I am
+sure you will give it with no unstinting hand.
+
+We think to day of our wounded, but we think also of our dead. Men may be
+willing to die for one cause in one age, and in another for what may seem
+a different cause, but in the last analysis it will be found that that for
+which human beings lay down their lives is always what they regard as the
+Eternal Right.
+
+In every man created in the image of his God there is this strange
+mystical susceptibility, this urge to lay all he has upon the altar of the
+ideal that he feels has the right to demand his uttermost. Nothing else so
+fully demonstrates man's spiritual nature: it is the one great fact that
+differentiates us from the brutes.
+
+On the one hand is man selfish, greedy, earth-bound, false and sordid in
+his aims. On the other, at repeated intervals, in great and solemn hours,
+comes this austere appeal for all he has to give--and he promptly gives it,
+joyously, willingly, without thought of reward, and derives a greater
+satisfaction from that self-giving than from all other kinds of gain
+together. It is deep, mysterious, elusive, this stress of the spirit, but
+we all know it unmistakably as all generations have known it. There is
+nothing so strong in human nature as this impulse to fling ourselves away
+at the bidding of we know not what, the something that incarnates itself
+now in this cause or objective and now in that, and makes us feel {~HEBREW LETTER VAV~}{~HEBREW LETTER YOD~}{~HEBREW LETTER SHIN~}{~HEBREW LETTER LAMED~}{~HEBREW LETTER HET~}{~HEBREW LETTER NUN~}{~HEBREW LETTER YOD~}

+us before you to prepare a permanence on the earth and to save your lives
+by a great deliverance." There is nothing so exalting within the totality
+of human experience as the elevation of soul reached by the one who
+willingly dies for the sake of the others.
+
+How many men of character and intellectual gifts, how many thinkers,
+writers, artists, how many men fitted to promote the prosperity of their
+country in industry and commerce have we lost in the War! And how many of
+the rank and file, men who were distinguished for nothing in their lives
+so much as the manner of their death! How much poorer the next generation
+will be! To the memory of them all we give the grateful tribute of
+saddened and chastened hearts: we remember them all in our prayers, we
+recall their heroism as we rejoice in their manhood and their glory. Never
+was a time when so many of our best and noblest have gone from us
+willingly because they have felt it to be their duty and never was a time
+when their parents and dear ones have shown such a noble example of
+uncomplaining patience under a loss which to them was the greatest that
+any loss could be. We may well feel proud not only of the sons but of the
+parents that they have willingly given their children and have borne their
+loss with dignity and resignation, not repining and bewailing their dead,
+but putting their hands to works of charity and helpfulness. Let us who
+remain be worthy of those who have been taken, worthy of the country that
+can rear such children. They have revealed to us the soul of the nation,
+the soul by which, far more than by its wealth or its prosperity or its
+material strength, a nation lives: and while the soul of England thus
+lives, England will maintain her greatness.
+
+Let us remember our heroes who have made the supreme sacrifice, not
+altogether with sorrow, but also with a solemn thankfulness--to God who
+strengthened them to play their part, to them for their simple example of
+duty done. The memories of these, our heroes, will for us and for those
+who come after shine as a holy flame, a light that will burn for ever at
+the altar of patriotism and of duty.
+
+And so we commend their souls, even as our own, to the mercy of our God,
+looking to Him in all humility and trust to vouchsafe us in His good time
+"a permanence on the earth and a saving of life by a great deliverance."
+Amen.

+           Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
+works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
+obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the
+efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks
+of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
+they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}'s goals and ensuring
+that the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection will remain freely available for
+generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} and future generations. To learn more about the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
+can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at

+  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+                                Foundation
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
+number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
+in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
+including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
+particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
+Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
+effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
+requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
+received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
+determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
+not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
+accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
+with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
+statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
+United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
+and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
+checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please
+visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

+
+      General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works.
+
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
+anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
+all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright
+notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
+with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
+number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
+(zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
+old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+
+    http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how
+to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
+how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
+newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
