OF WAR
 WILL BE MADE ON CHRISTIAN BASIS
|Dr. Stuart Plays Grain and Food Pirates-B0osts the
 Y. M. c. A. Campaign

''This is a wonderful war In more ways than one," said Dr. George R Stuart, in his pulpit at the Tirs Methodist church yesterday morning, as he launched into an able discounseA pointed with references to the aid Bir- mingham citizens are obligated to rem der to the Young Mems Christian as- sociation in their national campaign TOT funds to be used for United Statea soldiers in camp and in the trenches. "It is true that we had something last week, 1t is true also that we will have something after this Is over, and am of the opinion that We are go- ing to have several things a week be- fore this war is over. So we had just as well get down to it and do our part If we can't die in the trenches, we can give our money to help take the Y. M. c. A. to the boys over there HoA rich fellows needn't want to leave all of your money behind you, make an investment now. For I am sure that if you could turn over in your graves and wake up for a few minutes Rnd sec her after you had departed, with new hair and new teeth, you would
 wish that you had not left so much for
 the other fellow.
 There are so many average fellows.
 that there is something going to have
 to be done for them. I have bbgunI
 to study them, and I have decided that
 the world has got to do somettlr l.
 They should go up on the mountain
 and get the vision-do that in Birming- ham-and get your location. There is no danger upon the mountain. It IS built upon a sound foundation. and that Is the way with the church. Loeate the mount of God, for 1t is the ntcsA stable thing on the face of earth, 1t ls the church.
 Things are becoming internationally placed upon . civic basis. Wilson s message on this war was the greatest document ever delivered, for 1t IS Christian from every standpoint and that message will settle the matter of war permanently, when it is finally set tied. He is a Christian President, and this war will be settled on a Christian basis. The Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. first and second campaigns, they are
 both Christian, and they are figuring in this great struggle more than any
 one thinks. Every man who goes to
 the front is provided with testament
 before he goes into the trenches. When
 was there ever war before. that called
 for an order from the churches that
 no man should go into the field without
 9 testament?
 No matter who the man is, when nor
 where he Is wounded, there Is Chris
 tian hand to touch him before he has
 been down very long. Pull the Bible
 from under any government in this day and time and 1t will crumble-it will
 totter and fall. Peace will be made upon the law of Jesus Christi DO unto others as you would have them do unto you
 These grain dealers, food dealers God have mercy upon their old hellish greedy souls. I know that remark is
 not popular, but there are too many saying, now is the time to get rich, and am not preaching to be popular, am preaching to be right. I wonder how I have gotten along so rar-but | guess l have not been as severe as should have been, or I would not have been here.
 Imperialism was first introduced by the devil when he tempted Jesus, by pointing out to him a kingdom if he would only bow down and worship him. But Jesus answer knocked the devil into the furthermost corner of hell and thereby raised a Christian nation. We are not fighting for hate, but for love and the reconstruction of the interna- tional law"
