NO "IFS" IN GODS PLANS.
To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
A local daily contains an
open letter to President Wilson from
Pastor Sheldon. editor Of the Chris
tiau Herald The writer. after con
demning Mr. Wilson's preparedness
policy. claims to know just what Je-
sus would do IL He were on earth. He
said Jesus would require dollar
from every American citizen and witN
this vast sun He would send us to
Europe to Christi'nlze the warning
nations.
II seems to me that one posing be-
fore an intelligent community as an
instructor in religious matters would
know that Jesus is just as much con
cerned as to what is going on in
earth as though He we're with as in
the flesh His letter would imply that
since Jesus is not among Us in human
form. lie is either ignorant Of the
trouble we have gotten into or un-
able to help matters. Surely He
whose eye is on the sparrow knows
ings are bringing on themselves.
n tho Rev Mr.. Sheldon were as ia
miliar with the teachings OF his Bible
as one in his position should e he
would not only know that our
Heavenly Father is fully aware OF all
that goes on on the earth, but that He
knows the end from the beginning.
lie would also know that this grea'
war that he says Jesus would stop ui
He we're only here) is foretold ir the
Bible. written thousands of years ago
He should also know that oul
Heavenly Father has a plan formulat
ed from the beginning OF man on the
earth and that nothing that human
beings can do can change His plai
and purposes.
He should know that as ou
Heavenly Father says not even
sparrow falls without His knowledge
and that He has all power, that he ha
seen wise to permit the present cul
minatioh OF selhshness to teach man
kind a much needed lessen. Surely
He who divided the Red Sea and lie
His people walk through and close
the lions mouths, has lost none o
His great power.
II such men as the Rev Mr.. Sheldo
were only as anxious TO study God
Word, to learn His plans, as they ar
to suggest plans for Him, they woul
learn that the Lord has no ifs in Hi
arrangements.

CAN'T EXPLAIN reason
FOR CIBBSTOWN BLOW up

PAULsBORO, n. j., Jan. 1.-THE
cause of the explosion at the Re
pauno plant of the dupont powder
works, at Gibbstown, Friday night
remains a mystery, despite rigid in
vestigation by officials OF the plant
The explosion, which occurred, IN the
nitrate ammonia house, seriously in
iuring Edward Bubb, toremani
Isaac Gibson, Lewis Perian and two
foreign laborers, was the first of its
kind during more than 30 years the
plant has been in operation. The
building was a One-stOry brick, 80 by
60 feet. and was equipped with eX-
pensive machinery.
None of the men employed in the
building at the time can give any rea-
son for the blow-up. 1t is regarded
miracle that none was blown to
atoms. as nothing remains but large
hole in the ground where the building
stood. Bubb. Gibson and Perian were
rushed to Cooper Hospital, Camden
after their wounds were dressed by
local physicians, and it is said that
doctors at that institution have little
hopes for the recovery Of the two hrst
named.
While the ammonia is used in the
manufacture of dynamite, it has
never before been classed as an eX-
plosive, although it will take fire and
burn after being heated beyond a
certain degree.

starve him out by cutting off their
subscriptions ] would apply this
truth not only to the pew, but also to
the pulpit. II every preacher, when
he prepared his messages, felt that
when they were delivered Jesus him
self was to sit in the pew and listen
to every word. how many things
would be added and how many elimln-
ated. There would be less Of human
opinion and more of "Thus saith the
Lord"
The application Of this great prin-
ciple OF the Kingdomship of Christ in
all departments of human affairs,
would work revolution and transfor-
nation. DO not say hastily that you
are going to place Christ on the
throne Let me give you fair warn
ing. To do so is going to mean hard
ship and trial. and suffering, and it
may mean martyrdom. But some way
there must he a wave of persecution
sweep over the churches from ocean
to ocean. winnowing the chaff from
the wheat, purging the dross from the
gold before we are to have q great
spiritual revival. There must be more
dying done before the whole world is
saved.
II is to be the application of this
great principle. Make Christ King,
which is going to accomplish the re-
suit. No matter what it costs, you
can afford to do nothing less, for upon
this determines your souls eternal
salvation. Let others do what they
may. decide now in your own heart
that Christ shall have His way in
your life, and let the words OF the
old song be not merely theory, "All
Hail the Power OF Jesus Name, ant
crown Him Lord Of ALL"

arms by society and presented and
honored at court.
Then the war broke out. The cap
tain re-entered the army and went TO
the front. He fought in the east and
west and earned the iron crosses OF
the second and first classes and the
Saxon gold medal for bravery. Dur
ing the first year of the war he ex-
changed letters with his wife every
week. Last fall, the letters he re-
ceived from home became scarce. His
wife only sent few cold lines three
or four weeks and in February she
stopped writing altogether.
Tormented by jealousy and dark
suspicious the captain finally asked
for a furlough of a few days and hast

Dresden he found the villa in charge
of a single servant, who informed him
that his wife had eloped after selling
everything that she could turn into
money. The captain then shot him

Dresden, May ga sensation
al tragedy has caused great excite

able circles of the Saxon capital.
Capt. Kurt Won Herder, former ad-
Instant Of King Frederick August,
returned to his home from the west
ern front on a short furlough. Two
hours later he was found dead with
a bullet in his brain.
The captain was a great grandson
of the famous German poet, Gottfried
Herder, and possessed large means.
Several years ago while in Berlin, he
made the acquaintance of Miss Adrian
a school rider who appeared in cir
Gus under the name of Adrienne Won

dashing beauty and became accepted
sutton. Shortly afterward he was APP

Cairo, where he married the circus
rider.
