THE CHURCH'S ULTIMATUM
REY. u. #. KIDDER,S SERMON YES
TERDAY MORNING.

The Inspiring Example of Little Greece
Christianity's UItimatum to the Powers
of D"rkness-An Eloquent Sermon.
At the Trinity NJ. L. church, yester-
day morning, the pastor, Rev. b. f.
Kidder, preached an eloquent sermon
on The Christian Ultimatum to the
Powers" taking as his text Daniel 316;
"Shadrach, Mesach and Abedego
answered and said to the king, o, Ne
buchadnezzar, we are not careful to
answer thee in this matter
Rev. Mr.. Kidder said, in part
1t is serious matter for one nation
to send it's ultimatum to another ma
ton 1t means that no further nego-
tiations will be made. All other eff
forts for peace are ended and war is the
only alternative left.
I'VE have been thrilled the past few
days by the spectacle of little Greece
sending out her ultimatum to five or
six of the great powers, She has re-
fused to withdraw her troops from the
little island of Crete until the Christian
subjects there are prote ted from the
slaughter of the barbarous Turk. We
have all had feeling that the attitude
of the powers in this emergency was
wrong and that little Greece was right
in her claim.
..Mr Gladstone ~ racant letter said:
4 know of ~ nation co small which
has rendered so great a service.
