but champagne and port wine amenities

ministration started on Grape-juice and

in EurOpe.)
In truth the Presidents Flag Day address
is little else than the expansion of his state
ment that eve are not in the War because of
any particular grievance Of our own
The greater part of the elaborate Flag Day
speech is devoted to an attack upon German
ambitions in Central Europe, the Balkans,
and Asia Minor
Our President lashes himself into an ora
torlcal fury, on account Of the magnitude of
Germany's foreign plans-''an immense ex-
pansion Of German power, an immense ex-
pansion Of German industrial and commercial
opportunities"
Is this the niger in the woodpile?
Are we to contribute million men to the
European shambles, for no higher purpose
than to cut off the commerce of Germany from
those world-marbets which English and
American Capitalists seek to mOnopolize?
The President argues that, if Germany
succeeds in her ambition for an immense ex-
pansion of her industrial and commercial OPP
portunlties, "America will fall within the
menace"
What menace?
Must we sacrifice a million Of our best men
in the noble strife of trade expansion?
Must our blood and treasure be poured out,
to close South America China, and India to
German industry and commerce?
Heavens above! I begin to suspect that the
President came very near to letting the cat
out of the bag.
It would not be an unfair paraphrase of
the Presidents denunciation Of Germanic as
pirations-as to industry and cOmmerce-to
say, that it voiced the 4iUaz1y Of international
Manufacturing and Banking Trusts, rather
than the general aoo1fare and common interests
of the american people.
Perhaps the most astounding popularity of
the whole situation is, the cool self-righteous-
ness with which the President ignores his own
sudden changes of attitude.
Next to this astounding popularity, ranks
the faclle submisslVeness with which the daily
papers accept the changes, and abuse those

In his Flag Day address, the President
argues that it will never do to let Germany
have peace m0lo because she holds so much
conquered territory and is SO near to complete
success.
President Wilson says, in effect, that the
whole world will be lost to Notwithstanding,

rules OF life one upon which it may
be said. in a material way, at least,
all the rest are dependent II is the
fourth. Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy" For God knew that
unless he gave man a specially Or
dained day, occurring at frequent in
tervals, in which man could lay down
the busy work of life and be reminded
of and mediate on Him, that man
would soon forget God altogether.
Thus the first and prime reason for
the Sabbath as 1 see it.
Another thing man is so consti-
tuted that he requires one day Of rest
in every seven, both for his physical
and mental being This fact has been
conVincingly proved by science. DR..
Hacker, of Switzerland accurately
measured the vital force Of working
men both morning and evening and
found that each nights rest only re-
stored five-sixths OF the loss BY the
days work. so that at the end Of six
days work it would require Sc hours
rest to restore them to normality.
Prof. c. +. Hodge. one of the great
est of biologists, spent two years in
the study Of brain cells. In his re-
search he found an abnormal cell. OF
formed by several days regular work
It cannot be restored to normal shape
without So hours consecutive rest
Thus the mental need for a Sabbath
OF rest
Protects Moral Nature.
But the prime need Of the Sabbath
is for the protection OF mans moral
and spiritual nature For without a
Sabbath Of rest and worship there
will be no church; without the church.
no religion, no God, and without re-
ligion man win have no character.
without which he will degenerate into
the image OF Satan.
