STRONG WORD SHOULD

Hamburg Paper Declares It Is Time America Should State Whether It

IS 4Ncutrai or Germany'S Enemy.
 Amsterdam, Via. London, April If. The Hamburger Nachrichten." commenting on the German memor- andum to the state department at washington recently given out for publication by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador declares that the United States allows England to act as she pleases and supplies her With all the war materials she re- quires, and continues:
 Many a one who has had to ob- serve this procedure of the United states has struck the table with his fist. The anger created in Europe is greater than the people over there allow themselves to imagine.
 Our foreign office had now found the right language against France, England, and, without any sort of con- sideration, against the United States, too. With consideration and forbear- ance we get no further forward. The German people will gradually finish with their declared enemies, al- though tremendous efforts will be re- quired, but behind them stand other enemies who pretend to be neutral and claim from us the rights of neutrality, together with every consideration, but who, nevertheless continuously ana zealously support our enemies and assist them in their war against us.
 Tt is time that strong word went to Washington. In expression 1t will be polite, but it's meaning can only be: Are you neutral or are you our enemy?"

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1915.
RELIGION AND POLITICS.

There is one thing religion has not
paid enough attention to, and that is
politics. Not that the church should
involve itself in politics or use itself
TOR one party or another. but that
zach individual member should be-
come thoroughly interested in public
affairs, and take part In the instru-
mentalities adopted for their direc-
ton. There are the primaries--they
should be attended as a religious duty.
A man who will go to church and not
10 the polls or primaries takes only d
half view OF Lis Christian duty. A man
cannot have much of religious faith
II it lies dormant and does not get
out into the world of deeds. The
church ought to take some stand
upon this matter and terminate a
mans membership If he fails to at
tend to his political duties. Govern
ment is established by God and he
expects all who believe in him to do
their part in unfolding it; and there
is no way Of unfolding it except upon
Christian principles So a Chris
tian who is too good to take some in
terest In politics is too bad to be-
long to church. and so should be ex-
PEELED.

The Animal Is Too Fragile to Snare In

Perhaps you have often wondered

The long legged and long necked ami

and pitfalls against him. His fragile
legs would be crushed In a trap, and

There is only one way TO capture a

A medical Journal calls, in the in
terest of the public safety. for the
examination not only of chauffeurs.
but also of all owners and private
individuals who drive cars. It Is
evident that the increasing use of
the motor car, both in business and
for pleasure purposes. is introducing
a new problem, and that until the
individual conscience is educated up
TO the proper recognition of mutual
rights, the danger In streets and
highways to life and limb will In
crease unless adequate means are
found to check 1t. This medical
writer declares that the psychology
of the driver brings tie subject of

range of medical advice on the sub

Tempsraturs of the Earth.

1t has been generally believed that
the temperature increased at almost a
constant rate from the earth's surface
toward It's center, but this supposition
appears to be incorrect In the light OF
recent experiments. In one mine the
average rate of increase in tempera-
ture, carried down to 5000 feet, was
one degree for each $50 feet Of de
scent Various results have been OBJ
tanned from measurements In other
places. No temperature variations
We're shown between depths Of 1.40C
feet and $500 feet in the Kalgoorlie
mines In Australia. These and other
observations are considered as indi-
eating that the increase of tempera-
lures with depth In the earth is not
governed by any general law.

believe that any mother has raised

the pacifist song, with it's cheap. senti-
ment, is way beside the mark. The
mothers don't raise their boys to be-
soldiers. but, unless the past lies.
American mothers are willing that
sons should be soldiers when there is
at stake a principle worth fighting

to be soldiers. but ninety out of every

would not go soldering when their

Born of God.


1t was a striking lesson Jesus gave
to Nicodemus: "Ye must be born a.
gain" The new birth, by which old
things pass away and all things be-
come new.
The Apostle John lived to be the oil
dest OF the twelve who were closest to
Jesus on earth. After other sacred
treaties and after a long and useful
life as "A pastor and true shepherd of
the flock of Christ, he gave us the
heart OF the gospel in simple but
strong language. The following are
some of these kernels of truth: "Be-
hold, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God. Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and il
doth not yet appear what we shall be.
But we know that, when he shall APP
pear, we shall be like Him, for we
shall see Him as he is. whatsoever is
born of God, doth not commit sin, for
His seed remaineth in him and he
cannot sin, because he is of God.
I'm this are manifest the children
of God and the children of the devil.
Whosoeyer doeth not righteousness is
not of God: neither he that loveth not
his brother. This is the message that
we have heard from the beginning
that we should love one another. We
know that we have passed from death
to life because we love the brethren. -
Gods children will be God-hke in
their actions, and in their characters.
The wisdom that is from above is
first pure, then peaeeable, gentle,
easy to be entreated, full of mercy,
and good fruits, Oh to be like Him
who was always pure and strong, and
self-effacingl
