BIBLE PROGRESSED GERMANY
DRUNK ON BLOOD

Editor Of The Journal:
Referring to the article relative to
the Germans making fertilizer, oil,
&C, out Of dead bodies, the writer has
heard several remarks: ooh, that is
horrible; that is the worst have ever
heard Of" Don't read it; I don't
want to hear it," etc, but to all such
the writer would like to invite to
read Isiaah 1926: "And I will feed
them that Cypress thee with their
own flesh, and they shall be drunken
with their own blood, as with sweet
vine; and all flesh shall know that I
the Lord am thy Savior and thy Re
deemer, the Mighty One of Jacob"
This was spoken 1929 years ago and
yet does that article in the Pensacola
Journal seem to indicate that this
Prophet knew what he was talking
about?
The writer likes to think of such
pieces as Deut. "A: But We that did
CIeave unto the Lord ~vuur God are
alive every one of you this day" This
was spoken by Moses after making
that prayer to go over and see the
good land and the Lord told him that
he should not cross the Jordan, but
charge Joshua; read the account Deut.
3:23-28. The above occurred about
1868 years ago, but do YOU know that
the writer gets a lot of comfort out
Of passages like that in times of dis
turbance and unrest like the present,
Do We ever stop to think of the thou
sands and thousands of people that
left for the promised land and of that
large number only two seemed to
have been successful and complied
with Deut. "A, quoted above.
The writer likes to stop and think
occasionally of those that profess to
he living up to the standard above
given and the writer gets a great
deal of comfort from thinking along
that line. Let us take an inventory
Of self and see if that great day
ehoulG come. could we say that we
have been true to the best of our
knowledge and that We are ready
for that great day. If not, it is time
20 think and think seriously on the
matter. Are we doing what We can
70 brighten the corner where We are
to help the other fellow and the Mas
tor'> cause.
Very respectfully.

Are we to be railroaded into a CapitalIistic-

It seems that the volunteer patriots of 1916
were a deluded lot of lunatics: and that the
heroes of the Protestant Reformation were
guilty of helnous crime in revolving against
Papalism.
Volunteer patriotism is now mockery and
a byeword; while a Protestant who dares to
