CHIEF justice.
LORE breaches
He Addressed Ten Thousand
at Laurel-Bethel Camp
Meeting
TALKED ON THE HORRORS OF WAR

Laurel, Sept. Notwithstanding
the inclemency Of the weather, the
fact that Chief Justice Charles B.
Lore was to fiji the pulpit drew a
crowd estimated at over 10000. the
largest ever gathered within the in
closure. to the Laurel-Bethel camp
meeting ground yesterday afternoon.
Those who braved threatening
storm We're well paid. for the iurist
was at his best and a more powerful
discourse was never heard in the
grove.
Taking for his subject "The Chris
tians War Cry" Judge Lore drew
some wonderful pictures Of the life
Of Christ. beginning with the nativ-
ity and tracing His steps to His as
cension. So earnest was the speaker
that the vast audience was held
spell-bound for an hour Judge Lore
portrayed Judas in an entirely new
light from that in which preachers
usually do.
Il do not believe Judas intended to
Ibetray Christ to be murdered, but
that he thought the Master would
show Himself more powerful and as
sumo the imperial power. Realizing
his awful mistake. remorse drove him
to suicide" said the speaker. He then
proceeded TO deliver gems of reli-
gious thoughts in profusion. Taldngup
the subject Of war. he reviewed the
great military campaigns OF the
world in a most thrilling manner.
1T is a horrible thought" said
Judge Lore. when we are compelled
to recognize the fact that within the
. past hundrde years over 100000 mem
have been killed in battle Add to this
the millions who have been MANNED.
the hosts OF widows and the army OF
children who We're deprived OF tho

add TO this CHASTITY picture the bill

, dered in the prosecution OF war; and
- 1t Is 80 appalling that it is beyond the
r comprehension OF the mind.
"Sherman's famous march 10 the sea

worst. Bacchus was the god Of de-
bauchery and graft OF all kinds could
not have been worse. Christs mission
was not only TO bring peace to men. but
to nations. Christ came as the great

Judge Lore closed his sermon with a
p peroration in which he referred to Tho
Hague and its failure to stop war He
T. paid a high tribute to President Roose-
welt for hecoming the mediator between
