A SERMON ON PREPAREDNESS. >
w. A. James Criticises Policy Adopted
by Administration, FavOring in
Place Moves for Peace.

ny Admdnisti1tiOn, t0vOring in
Place Moves for Peace.
Editor Daily Item:
Apropos of the present war and
the peace and preparedness talk,
and while the Christian laymen and
leaders are silent 1 will timidly sug-
gest that he who lives by the sword
shall die by the sword.
History is abundantly full of testi-
mony which proves the truth Of the
above saying. The chosen Of God to
perpetuate knowledge of himself, so
lived and SO perished. Our nation
warred and warred until we came
near consuming ourselves.
No country now at war has ever
partially discarded militarism since it's
beginning. and they are now reap
ing, and SO, the reaping will continue
periodically until all are consumed
and other fools will rise to take their
places.
We moan in sincere grief over a
natural tragedy like the Boykin
mill pond drowning and In one year
after gleefuily send our best beloved
to the front in the Civil war to be
food for shot and shell. How can we
reconcile the two devilish moods;
over the natural we are torn with
grief and stolcally endure and support
Iartifcial or man made laws and con-
ditions.
IN these things we are fools be-
cause we have deserted our great hero
and guide, Jesus Christ, who told us
plainly that he who lives by the sword,
by the sword shall die. And yet we
read and heed those OF the day and
who are altogether earthly. that If one
carries a pistol there will be no pistol
practice; IL we train our bull dog to
tight there will be no dog fight; If we
raise armies friction will become i'm
possible; II we build huge navies the
sea will be paradise, and the latest
or which II Is said the aeroplanes "will
Go more than any other human
agency TO hasten the day of universal
peace and the brotherhood of man."
Oh my. and yet we read and depend
on such putrid vaporings of dead men,
for are we not told plainly by our
Master that such shall die by the
sword, and blessed are the peace maxi
ers?
SO therefore all disciples of Jesus
should heartily applaud and pray for
every attempt at peace without consid-
ering the source. The monk who sac
rifced his life not only saved the life
of the fighting gladiators which he
separated, but he put an end for all
time to the GOO year old practice of
having men butcher each other for en-
tertainmert.
We are also told to go and do, so
up with Jesus and down with Mars.
The lethargic Christian is q one,
talent man. and shall we not fee his
fate.

Beatrice Prentice. who has an inn
portant role in "The Clever Ones"
at the Punch and Judy Theater in
New York, has developed such an
important side line that she has
thought OF forsaking the footlights
for business. She is an importer of
Brazilian butterflies, a business which
she Thought out herself.
A steamer arrived the other day
with no fewer than 5000 butterflies
consigned TO Miss Prentice. They
were the most gorgeous the regions
about the equator could supply.
Nothing like them had been seen in
the United States except in private
and public collections. Miss Prentice
worked out the theory that bou-
guet Of beautiful flowers could be
made more beautiful II it contained
butterflies. 50 during the winter she
worked out plan with several
florists who cater to the persons who
can pay large sums for flowers and
arranged with them to sell bouquets
containing brilliant butterflies. The
fad has been successful. so successful
thai Miss Prentice has had to employ
help. The butterflies from the warm
climate Of Brazil find steamheated
apartments and we'll heated houses as
enEeniai as their native climate.
