THE DEPORTATION OF
 THE BELGIUM PEOPLE.
Rev. R. R. Graham Says Voice of the Stricken Nation Shouie Be Heard.


 Rev. R. R. Graham, rector of Christ Episcopai church, delivered an inter- esting address at the Sunday evening
 service on The Der ortauon of the Belgians. Rev. MT. Graham took his text from II Kings, -s: 31-32.
 Harken not to Hezekiah, for thus saith the king of Assyria (Sennache- rib). make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one or the waters of his own cistern; until come and take you away to a land like our own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and of honey, that ye may live and not die; and harken not unto HezeiSiah when he persuadeth you, saying. The Lord wllt deliver us.
 Rev. MT. Graham pointed out that the Jews had gone into captivity and were scattered about the Assyrfan em- pire and the trifnes had disappeared from the pages of history as well as from the world. Sennacherib may have been sincere, but he needed the fields and to engage in various other labors. Rev Mir. Graham spoke of the destruction of Sennacherib's army and the maintenance of Judah's inde- pendence for over hundred years. Then Nebachadnezzar destroyed Jeru- salem and led the people into captiv- ity. The laments have echoed down through centuries and stirred emo- tions. They have echoed and thrilled the hearts of men.
 But what about Belgium? Today practically the sane thing is being done. Tie German emperor may be as sincere as was Sennacherib. So the Germans tell us that the deportation of the 6Belgians is fer their own good. The Germans want men to till the fields; they want men to fill the army; 1 theywan. men to wort. in the factories and they want them in the munition we listen to the Psalmist and Prophet
 when he tells of the wrong done to
 the Jews should we not listen to Car
 dinal Mercier when he voices the wrongs of his peeple. The Psalmist | and Prophet were tf,e spekesmen for the Jews. Is not Cardinal Mercier one who speaks the spirit of the people? Cardinal Mercier has stood the faith and iS the dauntless champion of his people, defending them in every way. I cannot say what form any official
 protection America should take. But surely hee.cyoice= of this nation, whether through official channels or l otherwise, Should be heard. Any off, cial protest should have behind it the righteous demand Of a nation which will not acquiesce in such a wrong. l believe an appeal ought to come with force to our hearts We should listen
 to the, rwoes. of Belgium and to the l woes of the world. If the Bible is to l be living book for US the cry of the psalfnist and prophet against the wrong done to the Jews must kindle
 us with hatred for wrong, we must

She's there and you may see her on any clear night,
When the it is full and is shining and bright;
Now look for her when next the full moon you see,
In the lower right hand sector of the she will be;
And when once you have her, with you'll agree
That THE MAN IN THE MOON a lucky old beggar
is he;
But he sometimes has trouble just the same as the rest
Der THE LADY'S demands, or unusual request,
And then in such case THE LADY wins OUT
For when her lord sets his foot down. she goes pout,
And so she continues, and in pout she remains,
Until her hubby gives up, and her point she thus gains
She's woman you know,-just like her Earth Sister,
And he's only man. how could he resist her?
Now short time ago, she first heard of this town,
And insisted at once that she must down,
Said that she really had nothing thing left to
While the home it was cherries and dingy and bare;
That she had stood for his stingness long she
would
And bound that at last, she would have something
good,
Now The Old Man ragged, and he raved and he tore,
And cen twice,-shame to say it-he swore,
Saying that from The Moon to The Earth, she
should WANDER

Then she had of those spells have told you about
