mics OF the Church: come or. you bull
necked, beetle-browed, hog-jowled, pea
nut-bralned, weasel-eyed four-lushers
false alarms and excess baggage. In thS
name Of God ] challenge and defy you
II Is mighty easy to lie about a mar

for eight weeks Come on, and I'll de.

"A man said to me; 1t was a mighty
little thing to drive Adam and Eve out
Of the Garden Of Eden because they ate
an apple God didn't give n rap about
the apple. II was the princple-whether
man should bow TO God or God bow to
man. That act was an act of disobedience.
You may say It was mighty little thing
for England 10 go to war with us be-
| cause we threw some tea into Boston
harbor. We didn't go to war over the
tea. We said: You can't brew tea in the
! East india Company and pour IL down
our throats' It was the principle we
went to war about, not the price of tea
/! and we fought II out. Are you ready to
surrender? You, who are in rebellion
against God? You, who are In rebellion
ment? Are you ready to do His wil7
you recall the strenuous times In
China during the famous Boxer upris-
ing and how the various legations of
foreign nations were In great danger
Of assassination by the boxers. How,
on one critical occasion, when the hour
looked the darkest and the cooped-up
refugees were looking anxously for re-
lief, when the Germans were cheered
by hearing the bands of their soldiers
marching In and playing DE Wacht Am
Rhine Then the French heard the
'Marseillaise,' and how the English were
cheered by the music of God Save the
King And how the Americans waited
and wondered II their soldiers were COM

night pealed the strains OF The STAR
Spangled Banner Dixie Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean,. and those stirring
patriotic airs as the field Representatives
of our Government came to the rescue.
the feeling 1t brought to those people.
What did 1t all mean7 It meant that
Minister Conger, his wife and daughter
and other loyal Americans were In dam
ger and for their protection this Govern |
ment would stop at nothing.
DRAMATIC ILLUSTRATION.
'Tf necessary the treasury would have
been emptied in their defense; every SOL
dler would have been sent to their relief
and every battleshlp and other lighting
of the navy would have been
at their disposal And for what? The
OF a principle.
"Are you fighting for principle? Do
you quake and CULVER in your boots every
lime "a brewer blows his nose? Let me
irge you to get out and fight. Come on,
you Gods representatives. Come on!
"A monk once disobeyed the rules of
