AMERICA NO PLACE FOR HALF.CITIzENS
Pastor Hartman Says Friends Of
 Kaiser Should Get Out


 equally important roles in the con- cluding sermon of the series on "Evo- lution" delivered last night at the Peoples church by Rev. N. H. Harri- man. The speaker was severe to an intense degree with the traitors to tho nation and the traitors to God.
 Among his statements. Pastor liar riman took issue with the slogan "to make tho world safe for democracy" He spoke from a theological stand point when he said "Men and women, listen to me. Let me prophecy. When the world Is safe for democracy there right it Is to reign will have returned from heaven"
 Turning to the enemies within our ga:es." Pastor Hartman said: "- extreme meaaures should be adopted 10 rid this country of all traitors and half-heartcd citizens in this struggle between the savagery of the survival of the Attest and Christian morality embodied in national life. That man or woman who lives so close to he kaisor that when the Kaiser Is hitDho t-cts hurt has no place in the United States today. am in entire sympa- thy with Col. Roosevelt in his convic- ton that no man is true American today who has 'f1fty-flfty loyalty"
 It iS the coNQAneus of those who have heard Pastor Harriman's series on Evolution" that his concluding sermon was tho strongest of the aix. In 1t he flayed without mercy those who question the Bible and attempt to explain the existence of a universe by natural, rather than supernatural means. He also warns the degener- ate to mend their ways for their hour Is approaching.
 Tho sermon, in part, follows:
 Tn ten years time or sooner, there will be no church, a prominent business man is reported to have said recently. And of four prominent ministers discussing this statement, three agreed with him. This. or sub- stantially this, is in the air today. What is the matter?
 The only answer is the one have been giving in this series of serm ons. The Bible statements of the origin of things. the fall of man. the divine way of deliverance by meeting de- pravity with new life from God, by meeting degeneration with regenera- t1on-this is the only answer.
 "The anarchy that Is rampant in national life, and in social life. the world over is also rampant in the life of the churches. The only strong church today is the Catholic church -strong I mean in meeting this down grade tendency to no govern ment, which is anarchy.
 Our President has given the world a slogan. and the world is taking II up: Make the world safe for democ' racy.' But Germany comes back with a sheer at the American heresay that democracy is the only stable govern ment.' The fact Is, democracy has grave inherent weaknesses: every body recognizes that Yet it is the slo- gan today. Tn Russia they are hay ing hard time to establish democ- racy; anarchy, no government, dogs the heels of democracy so closely
 Let me give you q slogan that will harnlonixe with Bible revelation: Not A world safe for democracy; but A democracy fit for the world. restored to the dominion of Christi And hear me: When that time comes 1t will not be democracy. but kingdom or last inx peace, because ruled over by The Prince of Peace.'
 "A word more: Unless annihilation of the wicked Is Gods order-and 1t is not, if I read the Scriptures arfght you and I will live. here or else where, to see the despised and hated Jew, degenerate from his former glory, restored and standing next Tn honor and service to Christ. But perhaps l have gone far enough Tn that direction: someone might. if l went the limit, charge mo with being pro- German or craLy-and there isn' much difference between the two.
 ''The course of world ena pire. as re- vealed to Daniel in NebuchadnezxAr' great image, will surely run out to the finish.
 Babylon vanished as prophesied. Maedo-PersiA came and vanished as propheeied. Alexander came and Maedo-Persia went down as prophe- Bied. Rome rose and Alexanders em- pirp went down as prophesied. Rome has given place to the mixed iron and clay of . conglomerate world rule. that this war will develop into the ten toes of the image of Ne buchadnezzAr-unless all signs fail.

You know what next And in the days of these kings shal the God of heaven set Up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed ant the Kingdom shall not be left to othe people, but it shall break in pieces ant consume all these kingdoms. and shall stand forever With four part If the prophecy already playe' through on the great stage of worl' empire, played through literally . revealed to Daniel, think you that tn nfth will fail?
