Excerpt from Christian Life in the Community The writer of this book believes profoundly that every normal young man and young woman wants to make the greatest possible success of life. This assumption is taken for granted in every chapter. Our students amply justify this faith. And what a time it is in which to live and to be young! We have sometimes envied men and women who lived greatly because of the stirring events of their day. But never was there a time when great events crowded so fast upon each other. Idealism, morality, the cry of the weak, the voice of God, have called thousands of our young men and women to fields of battle. Our blood tingles with enthusiastic loyalty to them and to God's Cause, for which they fought as truly as did any of the saints of old. Those who work in factories, on farms, by conserving, saving, and in every other way that strengthens the Right, are an essential part of that vast army. During the World War, deeds of heroism, self-sacrifice, personal loyalty, and love abounded in military and in private life and most of all perhaps among the cruelly downtrodden in the little nations of Belgium, Armenia, Serbia, Roumania, Montenegro, Assyria, Poland, and the overrun portions of France, Italy, and Russia. With all its sorrow it was a time of exaltation. Faith, at first shaken to its very foundations, has been based more firmly on the Rock, and the glorious victory has filled all the Allies with gratitude to God.
