THE CHURCH AND WAR.

In every war the church has been
an important factor. The preacher
has in every conflict shed his clerical
garment to join the armed forces; in
many OF our national emergencies the
church the pulpit-has been changed
to the rostrum from which the call to
arms has gone forth.
Last night at the Broadway Baptist
church there was demonstration
Of loyalty and patriotism that has
perhaps never been equaled within the
walls OF an edilice of public worship.
ANY expression of applause within
the bounds Of propriety is not only
permitted. but will be encouraged; I;
make the building ring with your
cheers" was the injunction of Pastor
Cooper
sented upon the program This Is
the place for such demonstration.
II the cause Is worthy the church
should be the first to stand behind it,
II the 0nurch cannot stand behind It,
It is not a worthy cause declared
Chairman Harreld.
Paul MOehlmaun did more last night
10 impress upon the people Of Ard
more the true loyalty Of the alienborn
than all the newspapers and all the
preachers and public speakers could
have accomplished In weeks His
statement showed his loyalty Is from
the heart out and more than that his
appeal for q more trustworthy ati
tude upon the part'of the native born
win be Of immense benefit TO hun
dreds of moulded citizens who have
been the victims of an unjust suspi
Cion
