n DEVIL N US

The devil has kicked up a peach of a
row in Europe, and now has designs
upon us.
Things are moving his way across
the pond, but he is not satisfied with
the attitude of you and of the rest Of
us.
He wants to see more birthstone.
He wants things to happen here in
America.
He is not content with gorging him
self on the life blood of the unhappy
millions abroad. He would SOW the
seed of discord among the people OF
foreign nations who have sought
homes on our hospitable shores, who
have adopted our flag and our country
as their own.
He whispers in our ear that the Ger
mans are fiends, and the English pigs,
and the French rascals.
He bids us argue with our neighbor
and denounce the country from whence
he came, and traduce the people who
perchance are his ancestors, whose
blood flows in his veins.
He bids us proclaim from the house
top and on the streets and in rhe
homes that the nation which may
have our sympathy is in the right, and
that the people of all others are vipers
fit only to be exterminated.
He bids us exert ourselves in the
stirring up of strife and racial pas
sions among our own people, to tie
end that we of America may meet the
same fate that has overtaken our
brotheers beyond the seas.
He would feast upon the blood of
our own fair land.
He-the devil-would beguile us
unto our own undoing.
But there is a greater and wiser
Being who counsels calmness, and
moderation, and consideration, and
compassion; who bids us speak gently
of all peoples that malice and hatred
and dissention may not be engendered
in the hearts of our citizens; that we
may safeguard the peace of u coun-
try. even though all the rest of the
world be led astray.
God warns us that we walk in the
shadow Of peril.
Shall we cast the devil adrift? Shall
we keep America free from entangle-
ments by curbing our tongues?
God assents.
The devil dissents.
