Preacher Points Out
 Crises In Government

Porto Rico, and the Philippines, we were inclined to give them the bless ing of our social, religious and poli- tical institutions. But the Hon. J. A. Bryce said we had no right to an- mex any territory because England, France and Germany desired it and if there was any remaining Uncle Sam might come in for the crombs Our Army and Navy assisted these is- lands as the good samaratin did and then we withdrew leaving the Islands to care for themselves.
 VII New Crisis.
 Our fathers met their crisis and were equal to the emergencies.
 Never was there an hour which held greater issues then the present.
 The question before this generation is this; shall we go into the war for selfish ends. thru the lust of terri tory or power, or shall our people as eend into the war in a mood of self sacrifice for the safeguarding of our spirit of democracy, when we awake mans sense of justice, we have new Constitutions; when we awake mans sense of social instincts we have new reforms; when we awake mans love of country then We have host of men ready to defend it. A nation whose government is a government of the people, by the people and for the people and who put their trust in God, the Supreme Ruler of the world need have any fear that their princi, pies of democracy will parish.
