Fifth, The Administration at
Washington, It seems, while claim
ing neutrality" applies to the Ger
man Federation a policy far different
from the policy il applies TO the Al
lied nations that are now at war with
Germany and Austria. The 'nou-
trality," so called, is q neutrality
which deprecates the shipment OF
foodstuffs from this country to Ger
many and endorses the shipment OF
munitions of war by the shipload to
the allied enemies Of those countries.
The Administration policy as ap-
piled to the Americans who may
travel on these belligerent boats sail

ing munitions of war for the Allies is
altogether different from the policy
which it applies to American citizens
residing in Mexico.

REV. TAYLOR RESIGNS

Rev. Sam u. Taylor, who has been
pastor Of the First Baptist church in
this city has handed in his rcsigna-
tion to the members of his congrega-
ton He has made many friends dur
his stay in Tucumcari and the follow
ing copy of the resignation fully ex-
plains why he is leaving this pastoratc
and was handed To the Baptist church
by Mr.. Taylor Wednesday evening
April 10:
To the First Baptist Church of
Tucumcari, GREETING:
1t has been one year since we came
to YOU 10 be your pastor, leader and
servant, The manner in which we
have pastored. lead and served, we
leave for you to say; we only wish
TO say we have done our best.
But as 10 the church we want 70 say
with all our hearts we have found in
you. with the very few exceptions.
that is found in every church, very
loyal, Jealous and faithful people. So
much have we learned to love you
that il Is no easy task 20 offer YOU
this document. We have learned to
love the church here 20 much and her
interests are so closely knitted 10 our
hearts that we do not expect them to
die out in us, but wherever we go our
thoughts, our prayers and our hopes
will continually go out for her. But
we believe the woodman who takes the
time to grind his axe in the morning
will fell the greatest number of trees
in the day, and the man who makes the
most preparation al early life will be
able to serve his God and fellow-man
most during his time. So il has be-
come our purpose, the Lord willing,
to enter the Southwestern Baptist The
illogical Seminary AT ~. Worth. Texas
for better equipment for the Master S
service.
Therefore, with heaviness of heart
and sincere prayer for yeur future
welfare and progress, we hand you
! this our resignation TO become effect
