THE RED. CROSS AND THE HUN

THE RED CROSS AND THE HUN.
 Closing the campaign for an in crease in Red Cross membership the campaigners find their efforts reward cd in no mean way. There are some 21,O00 members. of the organization now in this city. Practically one third of the entire population here bolonks to the Red Cross. This is as it should be. In going the rounds, however, the campaigners ran into elements of disloyalty.. There are those who have on their lips a curse for the Red Cross and all its workers. There are those who have no love for the Stars and Stripes nor with any thing that is associated with Old Glory. They are out-spoken in their hatred Doors have been slammed on the faces of those who gave up their time and energy for the promotion of an altruistic cause. Insults were aimed at women dressed in the uni- form of the nurse and wearing the
 badge of honor, the Red Cross. This
 of course, is the seamy side of it all. No one is forced to belong to the Red
 Cross, or to any other organization
 whose aim and object ist to adminis-
 ter to the wounded. Were a wounded German soldier to fall into the hands
 of Red Cross nurses that soldier
 would be treated with the same kind
 ness and consideration that might be
 meted out to an American under the same conditions. Sympathy of this kind knows no bounds The Red
 Cross has already given aid to Ger
 man soldiers in this war. Even be- fore our entrance into the struggle
 German soldiers were taken care of l by American women working on the l battlef1elds of Europe. Now that we 1 are fighting the Germans is no reason
 why the same spirit will not prevail. 1 IL is an ungrateful Hun within our 1 gates who withholds his cooperation from an organization that would even
 help his own people.

 group of men actually loading and firing. With the warship's field piece
 must be added several times this number for traction purposes Tho gun and ammunition carriages or carts are hitched together in tandem. Two long trail or drag ropes lead out with six wooden toggles (handles) spliced in them at intervals.
 A ships deck division mans two guns. The drag ropes take twenty men. In heavy going they are double blanked to 40 men, On the wheel axles are two guide lines each taking man.

The 20 galloping sailors ahead have small regard for holes and puddles. When such menace looms up it's ''heave fo, heave!" for tho guides; and God help them if they're slow. Their job is like hanging on the hind end of runaway milk wagon-except that instead of milk bottles, loaded 3-inch shell como bounding out on shins, and toes.

LIE IRON FIST, THE SHINY SWORD.

Nearly two thousand years ago the Son of God came on earth to bring peace and good will to men. Since hat day the world has at least once
 year attempted to come around to he right way of living. Love per neates the hearts of men at the yhristmas season even If it does lapse ,,fo q dormant state during the great H part of the twelve-month. It was
 6ys,ch a season, the holiest week in ase calendar, that Emperor Wilhelm S1ioDe to enunciate his doctrine of keace. Having had some three years E bloody war and realizing that men syeryWhere look forward to the day when the principles of Christianity Dhall grip the hearts of all in one xreat brotherhood, the Emperor Of Germany told his enemies how they eould have. peace on earth, and how rood will toward men might once again become a live active thing. His formula is simple: Come my way willingly, or be dragged along by the hair of the head. o'
 If there be those nations who re- fuse to accept peace laid down by In Prussian autocrat that worthy ent1eman would batter in the doors Fl those nations with "the iron fist Ind the shining sword" That is his nlflmatum, as proclaimed to his yrmies. If England. and France. and Italy, and the United States of Amer ca, and all the nations now fighting Ae Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs U not Lay down their arms the Kaiser Nill send his hordes of the iron fist md the shining sword and take those arms away. He will batter in the Aoors of the peoples of the earth and force peace down their throats. Two Thousand years ago Christ came on Artn bringing a message of peace
 d good will to men. Two thousand AeArs after that event one Wilhelm 4ohenzoflern upset the regular order TT things and plunged the world into x state of chaos bordering on bar harity. On the anniversary of the world's greatest birthday celebration 1Tiihelm announces a new program o1 peace and good will. It is a peace

 faces brown; The f1eeting centuries may come and But here is> >changelessness- coun-

When Christ drove the money changers out of the temple he called attention to only one form of debased humanity. There was a lesson there to those who would follow in His foot steps that they in turn might fight the good light against the wicked of every caste and description. Using men as money and the world as a temple wherein he might change things to his own fancies, Wilhelm is the man who must now be driven out. And by the very people to whom he would administer the defeat that comes by the iron fist and the shining sword" Temporarily, at least, peace on earth and good will toward men must remain in the background until the business of cleaning the world of monster is finished. Then there shall be peace, and lasting peace. Any peace based on the terms laid than no peace. What the Kaiser might propose at this time would be 8 peace wherein he might mend his broken armies, put another coat of iron on his mailed fist, polish the sword, and go forth to real battle, a fight even greater than the one now going on. This is a terrible war. There is not man engaged in it, or a woman who has sent a man to it, who does not at this moment pray to the Lord their God that the signs Heavens. Yet, realizing that the time is not ripe for such a peace so long as one of the peacemakers persists in pounding the iron first and brandish- ing the shiny sword, the good men and women of this old earth will bide their time and see to it that peace comes in the proper way. The three years and more of war already fought must not have been spent in vain. The blood of the men who laid down their lives in France and Flanders, the innocents of Belgium the brave of Luxenburg, must not be forgotten, will not be forgotten. In any terms of peace their sacrifices must figure and must demand reparation.
 The iron fist and the shining sword are no new terrors The world has had it's taste of these things; yet the worldf has not been conquered by them. The world has been shattered by blows from the iron fist It's wom- anhood and young manhood and in- nocent childhood have been raped and slaughtered and robbed by the weild- CTS of the shining sword of Wilhelm. There Is a sword, however, of even greater brightness; sword that has appeared in the heavens before. And it is more brilliant, more dazzling, than the shining sword of which the German Emperor prates. It is the sword of Christianity that appeared to an Emperor of old, and over it's hilt are the words, "In Hoe Signo Vinces." And by that sign we shall conquer. It is the sign of the cross,-the cross of One who came on earth two thou 1 sands years ago to bring peace and goodwill. No other sign shall over- shadow this one, even though it be Wilhelm's sign of the iron fist and the shining sword

Resolutions Of Appreciation.
Rockwell, N. c., April q.

Rockwell, N. g., April q.
At a meeting of the joint con-
sistory of the Faith charge of the
Reformed church on April 18th,
1917, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Nom.
bsrs of the joint consistory of
the Faith charge, hereby express
our appreciation to Rev. Welker,
our pastor, and his wife, for
their untiring interest and devo-
ton to the needs and necessities
of the spiritual welfare of eur
people, and we hope that the in
terests of both pastor and people
may so blend and harmonic in
the future that the result may
be many years of useful service
and sacrifice for the Master to
the end that our people may be
constrained to follow more close
iy in the footsteps of the meek
and the lowly Jesus, and may
'he All Se=ing Eye ever watch
over and direct them until their
labors on earth have been COM
pleted, and they have been called
hence, where labor ceases and
Joy is forevermore.
At no time since the formation
Of the Faith charge has harmony
existed between pastor and peo-
pie as it exists at this time and
we trust that it may continue
for time to come.
By order of the joint Con-
slstory.
