THE BISHOP'S LENTEN PASTORAL
v
1
By Rt. Rev. Arthur L. Williams.
iiuhop Episcopal Diocese ot Nebraska.
The near approach of Ash Wed
nesday, which falls on February 13,
and which ushers in the most solemn
season of the Christian year, finds us
as a nation-facing the most serious
and critical period in our history.
We are beginning in real Earnest to
feel the pressure of a world-wide war,
and to realize ir some measure at
least its tremendous demands upon
our resources, andhe part each one
of us as a loyal citizen must play
in contributions of time, strength, and
substance, in cheerful sacrifices in be
half of great world needs, and in the
unselfish suppor we must give to
those ministering organizations which
are doing such a noble work for war
and world objects.
.Pledged To Uphold Freedom.
The civil powers, ordained of God,
representing the united voice of a
free and loyal people, have pledged
the Honor and credit of the nation'
for the upholding kf those great prin
ciples of human freedom, for which
our fathers gave their lives and which
are the basis of free governments "for
the people, by the people, and of the
people' and which, for1 the world's
safety, must be fought out in blood
and tears.
We are giving some of our boys
with chastened cheerfulness to the
service of our country. We shall be
called upon to give more of them,
possibly all of them, before the dread
issue is finally settled. We are in
this war to stay until victory settles
upon our banners; until an enduring
and world-wide peace shall be obtain
ed by the arbitrament of arms, and
until the Lord God of Hosts shall
usher in the beginning of the uni
versal.reign of His Son, the Prince of
Peace. ,
v Responded to the Call,
I am thankful indeed that my peo
ple, both clergy and laity, are re
sponding nobly to the call of their
country. Approximately 500 of our
church boys are now in war service;
two of our cJcrgy are in war work,
with others or their brethren expect
ing to be called.
Both in giving to the point of sac
rifice and in personal service, my peo
ple are in no case behind those be
longing to other religious om
munions in the diocese. Indeed, it
is 'most fitting that the church of
which over 60 per cent of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
were communicants, should maintain
the same spirit of loyalty today. I am
proud of my people and thank God
for such signal proofs of their devo
tion to the cause of their country.
V Cling to the Church.
In the trying experiences still be
fore us 1 am conhdent mat you, my
beloved brethren, . will -"continue
faithful unto the end," having with
you the divine assurance that "heavi-
ness may endure tor a nigm, uui joy
cometh in the morning." Let us then
"Kn1,1 fast our nrofession" without
wavering, for we shall "find grace to
help in time ot need. , , , ,
But having said these things, it is
my solemnity by exhortation and
warning, to bid you to increased zeal,
faithfulness and devotion to the prac
tice of the precepts and sacramental
nritlnmrri nf our holv religion: not
only during the blessed season of
t ,nt. hut all throuah the days and
years that may lie, before you.
c.nA in xoundinir a wariung to na
tions in these days of "battle, murder
and sudden death,' because m nas
been largely forgotten. "From
whence" come wars ana ngnungs
among you? Come they not hence,
even of your lusts tnai war m yum
members?"
Great Many Problems
li not Ahis the time of all times,
facing as we are certain readjustment
of the world after the war isjOver;
facing" as we shall a new order in
the. social, economic, and industrial
spheres of the world's future work:
facing as we shall great moral and
rpliu-ious nroblems which only a
historic Christianity can solve is not
this the time of all times when. the
rests the tremendous responsibility.
By teaching and by example they
should at this crisis show themselves
real spiritual guides Prayer and
worship, sacraments and the preach
ing of righteousness, justice and
sacrifice, were never more needed."
My beloved people, think on these
things, and may God help you to
enter in and fulfill them.
And I beir of you not to let the
economies of the household, or the
abnormal sacrifices you are making
in order to give solely of your time,
labor and gifts for war relief, be
made at the expense of the church,
which is your first duty and obligation.'
Some of you. I fear, are doing this,
and it may be sem at this moment
in lessened offerings and pledges for
parish support, in an empty diocesan
treasury, in a larger number
than usual of "stay at homes" on
Sunday, and in "stay aways" from
auxiliary and guild meetings. Ex
cess of zeal has in many cjues run to
an extreme.
Carry Double Burden
As a consequence, some of us are
carrying a double load for ftrt church,
and at the same time "are doing our
bit" for our country. The double load
for the church happens because some
one else has unloaded on us thought
lessly, perhaps, but none-the-less it
has been done, and there you are.
Moreover, if we should all of us do
the 6ame thing, what, may I ask,
would become of the church of God in
this crisis through which we are pass
ing? "The fires must be kept burn
inir." The church'must be sustained
by each communicant according to his
or her ability. No excess of zeal in
other directions can or will acquit us
r T. J V.-k. ! (.:- C. . t 11
lr we are uerciiti in hub uai ui an
duties. -
The church, by her living voice, wit
nessing to the "faith once for all de
livered," and by the effective force for
righteousness of her influence and ex
ample, will, when this war is over, be
in a commanding position to do her
part in helping to determine its re
sults, by making "democracy safe for
the w.orld" , " I irst things nrst.
"Safety first."
And so the great 4U days snouia
witness to a more entire self-consecration,
and to a right division of
time, gifts and service, Repentance
and amendment; works of faith and
labors of love; self-sacrifice and dis
cipline, should characterize the daily
life of bishop, clergy and laity. Let
us labor and pray while it is called
today the day of our testing and pro
bation, and the blessing of the Great
Head of the church wril follow and
surround us here on earth, even as it
will follow and surround us inthc
world to come..

Farmers Await Draft Call .
:: , Before Leasing lyiore Land
. Douglas , county farmers are not
very keen about leasing ' additional
farm land for cultivation this coming
spring until they find out for certain
whether or not their sons are to be
called to the colors in the next draft.
W. R. Wood, who is connected with
the Benson exemptioii board, says'
that he receives a' number-ot queries
daily concerning this question. All
he can tell them is that each farmer
worker's claim is automatically ap
pealed to the district board, and if it
is found that the registrant is really
engaged in the agricultural r business
his claim will stand.
Many of the farmers, Mr. Woods
says, figure on a basis of 80 to the
man that is, a father andtwo son's
can handle 240 'acres nicely, but if the
draft should take one, of the sons the
number of tillable acres would be de
creased to 160. As the nmtennow
stands, he avers, farmers are refus
ing to lease more land than they can
handle.
