The singers had set themselves the

WORDS Of JESUS
BEING PROVEN
Rev. Crowder Delivers Strong
Sermon on Patriotism
and Christianity.

I'm these days we are beginning
10 realize that the sternest kinds OF
ordeals confront US daily. To every
one whose honor and integrity are
dearer thSa life there is the real
ization that there are certain things
unavoidable and unacceptable. We
are finding the words Of Jesus,
Everyone shall be sailed with fire,
and every sacrifice shall be sailed
with salt. 10 have u personal mean
ing.
This was the opening paragraph
Of the sermon given by Rev. Rich
ard II. CrOwder at the Grace Nj. r.
church Sunday morning.
Continuing, he said, And these
words Of Jesus are having univer-
sal application. Not only the ma
tons whose forces are at death
grips. but even those who would
play the part of neutrals are finding
their furnace Of fire intensely hot.
They are finding that they must pay
a certain price in this universal
velter OF blood and treasure.
Freedom Shall Triumph.
This great nation of ours has
dedicated itself anew to the prOpo-
sition that all men are created free
and equal and to the enforcement
OF this principle; the nations life
and wealth has been thrown in the
scale with other nations who have
known its value and blessing, and
who, rather than TO see il trampled
under foot, would sacrifice life and
its richest treasures. The true pa
triot will measure up TO the require
ments Of his country in meeting the
demands made upon him, and that
the cause TO which il has dedicated
its strength shall be triumphant
THE church of God" Rev. Grow
der said in concluding his sermon.
has dedicated thousands Of her
sons and daughters TO the righteous
struggle and will continue 10 do so
until the conditions Of peace have
been achieved-the conditions Of
peace which are worthy of our great
nations name and sacrifice. The
way Of usefulness and service is
clear and opened to all. He that
expects and hopes for the mercy Of
God will not fail Him and His
cause in this time OF fiery conflict
until victory has been achieved"
