GERMANY ONLY NATION
FEARED, SENATOR SAYS

Washington, April S.-Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, dur
ing discussion of the army increase
bill in the Senate, urged adoption of
the measure as reported by the COM
mittee.
The Senator discussed the insist

States is in danger of invasion. No
such invasion, he contended. was to
be feared from Italy, Austria, Rus
STA or France.
as it England or Germany" he
asked
Not England. Even Roosevelt
says we need have no fear of Eng
land. Every man, if he will admit it,,
when he thinks of an invasion of the
United States, pictures in his i'm
agination the advancing helmets of
German soldiers.
Germany is the only nation that
possibly could land an army of $780,
ooo framed troops on our SHORES. so
when invasion of the United States
is mentioned by the militarists. Ger
many is the one nation that they
have in mind"
The Senator said he did not wish
to be understood as entertaining any
such fears himself, but he thought
if there was any such danger it
would be greater after the European
war was over, when Germany's sur
viving soldiers, he said. would form
the most compact, best equipped
fighting force ever known.

close to the synagogue so that his
ton to the Jews, and (c) Justus was
evidently Roman citizen, and Paul
would gain access through him to
the more educated people Of the city.
Moreover he would have greater adj
vantage of the Romans than of the
Jews for protection Of the Christian
converts. We do not infer that he
left his lodgings in the home of Aquila
and Priscilla nor ceased his work of
tent making.
Paul's testimony after Athens was
based only on the cross Il Cor. 2 Il, p
and it was that which turned impure,
sinful souls into pure brides whom he

Gallo, the brother of Seneca, listened

William Ramsey calls this decision the
Charter Of Christian freedom" Free
dom of religious speech was granted
over the entire Roman empire so far
as Roman authorities were concerned,
and the door was open for Paul to
make his way throughout the civilized
world. Thus we have further evidence
that all of Corinth was no match for
Christ. The Lord had people there
who must be called by the spoken
word, and Paul was the one to speak
the word. The Lord only allows us
to be hurt when both we and the
work can be helped thereby. He
never really allows US to be hurt
(Rom. BIB; Isaiah 54:17. Christian
workers in this land are confronting
the same Corinthian evils in every
great city; intemperance, crime, graft,
dishonesty, white slavery, oppression
of the poor and other works of the
flesh.
1t is the business Of every preacher
and Christian to pray and teach and
work and live to save men from these
evils and to convert them to right

There are also Corinthian evils in
the heart, and in order to overcome
them we must put on thes whole ar

Spirit of Christ.
