at Union NJ. E. Church. In the
morning Rev. c. A. Grise preached
from Romans l IA: II am debtor
both to the Greeks. and to the Bar
barians: both to the wise and the
unwise. DR.. Grise said the Eng
lish speaking people of the world
are in debt to the people of sChina
and India and the other heather
countries of the old world. That
debt is civilization and christianity.
Today the nations of the world are
pouring their ignorant and heathen-
'ish subjects into this country, coun-
teractirg the influence of the Amer
ican public schools and poisoning
our system of free government.
"This country cannot stand while
its nav is being filled with people
who are out of sympathy with free
dom and civilization. Not eighty
out of the hundred foreigners who
come here respect our laws. These
foreigners are rapidly becoming
part ol our Government as is the
case in New York. You know the
result. 1t is not necessary for me
to refer to political affairs in our
city.1We need to gotothese heather
countries and preach the gospel.
America has got to go under if she
doesn t save the world -
