Hollwegs speech in the reichstag Gre

German and was hailed today by the
press as an expression of the unani-
nous aims and sentiments Of the Ger

front.
Members of all parties have united
in expressions of approval. The reich

Germany is not seeking her own ag-
grandizement, but the preservation of
her national life. Furthermore, it is
said. Germany stands ready to discuss
peace terms so that it can not be
claimed that the nation is responsible
for the prolongation. of the strife.

would be proper war measure to
train flock of cormorants to feed by
putting their food in lines against a

Counties start Eeud.

The Sixth district caucus at the
state house last night resulted in orig
mating a bitter political feud between
the Wayne and Union county Repuh-
lican organizations, because of the de-
feat of Demas S. Coe of Richmond
for district member of the resolutions
committee, at the convention. by /. N.
Bridgeman of Brookville. Franklin
county.
Coe is the only member of the
Wayne county delegation who at one
time was affiliated with the Progress
sive party, fact which undoubtedly
figured in his defeat as a member of
the resolutions committee. Union
county's four delegates all voted for
Bridgeman, with the result that
Bridgeman won by vote of 3S to 81.

HUBER SPEAKS
ON GODS LOVE

"A new commandment I have given
unto you that you love one another"
The foregoing was the text used by
Rev. Conrad Huber at the evening
services of the st. Paul's Lutheran
church when he spoke on The New
Commandment"
AS our text speaks of the new com.
mandment let us see in what sense it
is new. 1t is not new in the sense that
the word of God had not spoken of it
before, for we read way back in Lev
1918, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thy SELF
Now what is necessary to obey this
commandment. First, a deep con-
seriousness that love is God Himself,
for Gods love. Love is divine. 1t is
unchanging.
Secondly, it is necessary that we
become one with God through Jesus
Christ our savior and that we let him
do with us what he pleases.
Thirdly, it is necessary that we be-
come pure and holy through the
cleansing power of the blood of Christ.

MAKE SOCIAL CENTER
FOR CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
OF CHURCH BUILDINGS

The House Of God" was the sub
ject OF the sermon preached yesterday
morning at the Second English Luth-
eran church by Rev. c. Raymond
Isley.
Jacob in a vision saw a ladder
reaching from earth to heaven. Wax
Ing out of his sleep he said surely the
Lord is in this place and knew it not;
this is none other but the house of
God
He laid down there, the principle
upon which the house of God is based
Namely, that it is a place where God
meets and communes with His people
Gods house is also a center of re-
ligious activities. 1t lends inspiration
for religious work and offers opportun.
tiles for service
The house of God should be a
Christian social center.

REMINDED or GOD
BY GARDEN FLOWERS

Following the cantata Garden of
Flowers" at the Second Presbyterian
church last night, Rev. E. e. Davis
spoke on Some Lessons from the
Flowers"
Flowers remind the people Of God,
said the speaker. They also remind
the people of the constance of His
divine power. The same kind of
plants which are admired today were
admired by people several centuries
ago.
Flowers are also reminders of the
divine goodness. They brighten the
lives Of the sick and are used by the
lovers as symbols to express affect
ion.
