UiIdebrand claimed
New Britain herald., 1916-12-04

July 10, in this sector fighting was still going on about Contamination, which had been taken by the British
 July 1, but had been recaptured la-
 ter by the Germans. After most san- guinary battles in July, August, and
 September, the British, assisted by the
 French, finally succeeded in Septem-
 Der in advancing as far as the French
 during the first days in July. From
 this time onward the Germans have halted" all further advances. The re-
 cent insignificant gains of Terrain
 cannot be measured by kilometers,
 but by meters. Of course, through a
 big concentration, an attack can puSA
 back the defenders at isolated and
 narrowly limited places such as the
 British did on the Ancre in Novem-
 ber Not one of their objects, how
 ever was attained-not even a mod est one. Nobody, not even on the
 Entente side believes any longer that tn German front can be broken.
 '"The great offensive, which has cost the Western powers 800,000 to 900, 900 men, has been stifed in blood and mud. The battle on the Somme, which was stirred with gigantic fresh armies with war machines and the ammunition of two parts of the world, will continue in history as the heaviest Entente defeat. It means a Gallipoli on the Continent"

EVANGELIST SAYS
 CHURCH IS DEAD
Opens Adventist Campaign by De-
 nouncing Religious PassiVity

Declaring that the scientific prin- ciple of inertia aptly describes the condition of the Christian church at large in that the church is dead, lan- guidly passive and asleep, Evangelist Moeller opened the 'EVangelistic Campaign Different" yesterday morn ing at the Second Advent church, Church street near Stanley street. Using the prophecy found in the lat ter part of the third chapter of the book of Revelation, the speaker said that the church is in luke warn
 neither hot or cold, condition, show ing that the word Laodicea which is used in the prophecy to describe the condition of the church in these days, means lacking in life and vigor. The evangelist urged upon the large con- gregation which attended to shun contentment, picturing such a frame of mind as the cause of certain fall ing away from grace. Evangelist Moeller pleaded for a potent energiz- ing activity to be manifested by the members of the church if a genuine desire existed to successfully conduct work in upbuilding belief in God and revealed religion.
 The subject was Success in Chris tian Work" and the text was from Matthew 9:29, According to your faith be 1t done unto yOu." It was shown that there are but two in the world, one a positive and the other direct opposite or negative, the one faith and the other it's antithesis, or as the derivation of the word shows anti-theism, against God, or sin. The evangelist would admit no middle de- claring that even the slightest element of doubt in connection with the serv- ice of God, was sin.
 The nature of faith was described as being a quality and not as com monly held by many teachers, an in tangible thing which could be meas ured by quantity. The speaker showed that one drop of water is as much water as the ocean, and one spark of fire as much fire as a roar ing flame and the same with faith whether it be the faith of the child or of the aged experienced patriarch. Evangelist Moeller upbraided those who take the view that if they have faith enough that all manner of sick ness might be healed and any desire made known to God would be grant ed. One farmer in the field was DOT trayed as praying for rain and a city man praying that it be withheld showing that God could not answer both prayers affirmatiVely. To en- deavor to do so would make himself contradictory. The truth was estab lished as being that faith in it's tru- est and most perfected state would bring about an attitude the part of the believer of desiring at all time that the will of God be acknowledged as supreme and best at all times
 At the conclusion of the morning service four were baptized and prior to the evening service in conjunction
New Britain herald., 1916-12-04

with the evening communion service six were given the right hand of fel- loWship and united with the church.
 The evening service was most i'm pressive. At it's conclusion many came forward and asked to be prayed for that they might have closer walk with God. The subject was Living Epistles." The speaker using the story of Jacob meeting Esau and Jacob declaring that as he had seen Esau's face he had seen it as were the face of God. He said that true Chris tians could best eXemplify the truths of belief and make the Divine love and patience with sinners credible to them if Christians manifested the same spirit toward them as God mani fests toward all.
 Meetings will continue every night this week except Saturday. Assist ant Evangelist Stepens speaks tonight.

will be pressed as amendments to
the pending bill to enlarge the in
terstate commerce commission. Sen.
Newlands. chairman of the commit
tee. hopes 10 get action before the
March adjournment. Efforts to ex-
tend for one year the life of the
joint commission investigating rail-
road problems were checked in the
house to be renewed Immediately
after the holidays
The senate passed the immigration
bill with its literacy test provision
and it now is in conference. The SEN
ate also began consideration of the
District of Columbia prohibition bill
and fixed Jan. for a vote.
The national prohibition consti-
tutioral amendment was reported
favorably from the judiciary COM
mittee. in each house and will be
pressed by its champions at every
opportunity, although they have lit
tie hope of securing the necessary
two-thirds majority at this session.
House committees also reported
the Borland food investigation res
olution with favorable recOmmeada.

FLOWERS FOR
MOTHERS DAY.

Many of the churches and Sunday
schools in the city are planning to
celebrate Mothers Day. But it is
not only in its public observance, but
in the home, where Mothers infu-
ence is exerted, whether she be still
the heart of the family circle or
whether her blessed spirit hovers near,
to bless, that Mothers Day is most
sacred.
A reader Of The Journal has sug-
gested that a misunderstanding pre-
walls in regard to the flower worn
on Mothers Day, and for thic reason
the florists have much trouble in fill
ing orders. While the white carna-
ton is the flower which was originally
chosen as sacred to that day, it has
come to be an accepted custom to use
colored flowers for the mother who
is with us, and the white blossoms
in memory of her who has gone be-
fore. Or, as one poet puts it:
For Mother at home, flowers bright,
For Mothers memory, flowers white.
