The Warsaw Gate City
Warsaw, ILL.,, March IL, 1916.

Rome was always prepared for war,
but where Is Rome today? It has
sunk into dust! But the battles of
| the soldiers of the prince of peace,
the missionaries, have served for the
uplifting of mankind, and the fruits
of these noble warfares for Christ
and His kingdom Of peace will re-
main for ever The speakers on the
affirmative side laid stress upon the
fact that self-preservation is God
given law. Opposition is the law Of
development. While we want peace,
yet the protection of our country Is
| necessary. We do not want milf
tarism. But since we have been On
the brink Of war for about two years
we must be prepared for our own
protection. The munition factories
should be owned by the United States.
| The last speaker referred to tho
historical fact, that from the earliest
times of history down to the present
age most of the great achievements
Of mankind have been brought about
by the sacrifice of blood. Christ said
| in regard to the future: "Ye shall
| hear of wars and rumor of wars
Nation shall arise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom All these
things must come to pass. And our
Savior Him self could not accomplish
the work of redemption without being
crucified to give his life a ransom for
many; for without shedding Of blood
| Is no remission.
The audience followed the course Of
the interesting and instructive de-
bate with close attention. Since the
speakers Of both sides were, on the
one hand, unanimously IN disfavor OF
Ill Sxrnl1
on the other hand, in opposition OF
sspeace at any price," there was no
need nor desire for a decision Of
Jury, Rev. E. II. Jagdste1n closed the
meeting with the benedfction.

pleasures, and elegant refreshments

The whistle Of the ferry Is most
