That much good will yet come of
the sanguinary strife in Europe,
through a new order for the stricken
people, was the view Of Rev. Dr. Ar

terday in the North Orange Baptist
Church. Orange. DIR. Fowler recently
returned from abroad.
He gave his congregation some in
teresting impressions of the terrible
conflict. That the people of the war
stricken countries are hopefully look
/ ing for the future with the democ-
iracy of America and her institutions
as part of their national life to re-
place the conditions existing prior to
the war, was his belief. The people
are already talking against the yoke
of subserviency to their kings and
emperors he found
| Even In Great Britain. the clergy
man declared. the influence of Ameri-
can institutions is awakening the
people to the beneficial effects of our
government and for the first time in
many years mutterings against the

are being generally heard.
| The contest of arms. DIR, Fowler
said, was a death struggle between
military autocracy and democracy
He cited Count Won Buelow's recent
hook on German imperialism as de.
claring that the people existed for the
government. rather than the reverse
| of that statement, which latter atti-
tude is emphatically an American
doctrine. He said the masses of Eu-
rope are awakening to the dangers OF
the. VOC Buelow point of view.
DR.. Fowler was optimistic in his
belief that great good will come out
Of the warfare, despite the fact that
religion seems at a discount AND
Christian ideals apparently lie crush
ed beneath the drenching with blood
of thousands of men on the fields oi
battle.
There still remains the faith 81

sense of the need of Cod" said the
clergyman. THE divine principle OF
