During the past three weeks so
many people have asked me what the
East thinks about the war, and also
what my personal opinions are as to
the justice of our cause, and whether
our Government has done right in de-
claring war, that l have decided to in
vite everyone who is interested to at
tend meeting at the Majestic The
atre next Sunday afternoon at 3 o.
clock, at which time will try and out
line what seems to me to be the rea-
sons back of the action our President
and Congress have taken.
This service will be of a religious
character, with songs and scripture
reading, and prayer, a service entire
ly appropriate to the Lords day. Sure

Christian people are entitled to as
semble and listen to a calm discus
sion of such vital questions. I call it
at that hour so as not to ask people
to leave their regular services, and l
call it at place aside from the
church so that people of every denom-
nation and people who may not be-
long to any church may feel free to
come.
