PASTOR DISCUSSES
The EUROPEAN VAR
CAUSE,RESULT, GOOD
SAYS the Present Conflict is
the Greatest One of
All Time.

On Sunday evening at the First M
e. church, the pastor, DR.. E. ?. Hall,
discussed the European war-its cause,
its result, its good. He said that the
present war is the greatest of all time.
Why do men and nations go to war!
Look into your own life. Are you at
peace with yourself? The pastor ex-
pressed the thought decidedly that no
man at all times is at peace with him
self. It is so with nations.
AS TO the causes of the present war
he said that those firms which make
arms and ammunition may be some
what responsible.
The desire for world power may be
another element as to the cause, yet
the pastor thought it hardly possible
that nation would go to war to gain
power. From a material standpoint I
has been found that the war does not
pay.
Men have not taken Christianity SER
iously. Nations see that war is diabOli-
cal. All men are not created equal
but nations must treat men as men.
In Germany, France and Italy the
churches are crowded as never be-
fore. DR.. Hall believed that there
must sometime come to the United
States a spiritual earthquake to shake
the people out of commercialism.
Another good is to the temperance
movement. In Russia FIVE hundred
million dollars in revenue has been ia
ken away and one hundred and fifty
million are freed from the drink habit
Absinthe is gone from France as ano-
Their result Of the war. Intemperance
takes more men than war so that the
loss by arms may be gained by sup
pressing the liquor traffic.
He believed that nations would come
to see the useleasness Of great armies,
that the giving of aid to the distressed
people would make men akin, that
Russia might gain a warm water port
at the expense Of Turkey, Poland uni
ted and atoned for the crime Of dis
membe1ment and the idea Of the di-
vine right Of kings buried forever. If
mankind can be made free, the war
is Well Wagad.
