WAR ans SLAVERY. Like Peace and Freedom – they also are of two kinds – spiritual wars and spiritual slavery. Pyhysical war and physical slavery.
THE GREATEST EFFORTS OF MAN HAS BEEN HIS EFFORT TO SECURW P&F.
Today statesmen, politicians, and variouzs civic organizations are studying ways and means of establishing and maintaining a peace among the nations of the earth that would guarantee freedom for this generation and generations yet unborn. Christian friends: I do not profess to know the best method for achieving such a peace. Neither would I attempt to say just what organization or machinery that should be set up to gain this objective. But there is one thing that I and you and all of us know with perfect assurance, that is: that we cannot hope to have the peace and freedom that should follow and for which we are longing if the nations of the earth ignore Him who is the Prince of peace and ignore His truth when they sit around the peace table. For He speaks to the nations today as he spoke to men in the yesterdays and will speak to them in the tomorrows “I AM THE TRUTH”. To the earnest seeker after Peace and Freedom He sys “KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL NOT ONLY BRING YOU PEACE BUT THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE
CHRISTIAN YOUTH OF TODAY ARE BEING CALLED UPON TO ASSUME MORE PLACES OF RESPONSIBILITY THAN YOUTH FORMERLY HAD. To properly fit into the Christ given advancement plan Youth must first KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PEACE AND FREEDOM. HE MUST KNOW (I) SPIRITUAL peace and FREEDOM IS MORE TO BE DESIRED THAN MATERIAL.
Education is calculated to free men from the bondage of ignorance so money is suppose to free men from want Enfranchisement is calculated to give political freedom. Only religion gives men spiritual freedom. There is the story of a young man who well educated but had been a slave to contain wicked habit. His pastor and his mother tried to show him that he was a veritable slave to the habit that was costing him his soul. Yet he would not turn to Christ. However one day something happened. Satans hood wink was taken from his eyes and he saw his true condition. He want to his pastor and said to him “Pastor, what can I do? To get out of this sinful habit? I cant get any peace. Tell me Pastor what can I do? The pastor looked at him and quietly said, “It is too late” What, cried the Y.M. Do you mean to tell me that I am too late to be saved? The Pastor said “No, I do not mean that. I simply mean that you are too late to do anything. Christ by His life and death on the cross did all that was necessary 1900 years ago. All you have to do is to believe Himm trust him and obey his teaching. That was a great day in that home. The young man was freed from his sinful habit and for the first time in his life he found peace in his heart and joy in his soul.
My friends the knowledge of the arts and scences that he learned in Hi. School and College did not free that young man from sin. Nor did they give him the peace in his conscience. It was only when he learned the truth babout the savng power of Jesus Christ that he found Peace and freedom.
Today, in free American and in our own city, if you please they are men and women who are as truly slaves as if they were American Negroes before the Emancipation or the Hebrews in Egypt before
the Passover. and the crossing over the Red Sea. They are physically free but spiritually they are slaves. That same Jesus is speking to you. If you will become His disciple, You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The Truth about Criminal Habits of Youth – Story of 2 men at [?].

Freedom of speech, religion, want and fear. More than 11,000.000 men and women have been called to the colors for this service. Industrial Educational buildings and factories have almost overnight been turned into arms, munition and supply plants. We are fighting to win the war but will we win the peace and the freedom that have been so tactfully drafted as our fighting cause? Not by mifgt of arms or superior forces but by the word and spirit of God alone does the success of freedom and peace rest.
