ROME'S SEVEN PILLARS

This is the subject Of The first of
a series Of Sunday evening sermons
on the most hurtful heresies OF the
present time. The widespread agi-
tation in opposition 70 the claim Of
infallibilitfy and absoluteism made
by Roman Catholicism for the Pope
and his church, is sufficient evil
dence that the people are becoming
aroused to the danger embodied in
this subtle foe Of enlightenment and
democracy. They are asking the
pertinent question, How can any
one be a citizen of a republic or a
democracy who has sworn allegiance
to the Pope seeing that he AFRO
gates 20 himself absolute sovereign
ty Of the world. Answerable to none
but God: and teaches, All human
power is from evil, and must there
fore be standing under the Pope! !"
The awakening has come none too
soon, but the danger is that other
things may demand the peoples at
tention and they be lulled to sleep
again. Do not miss this opening
sermon, as Rome's doctrines will be
read as she herself has published
them and after that the seven pillars
upon which her structure is built
will be examined.
"The Ministry of Pain" will be
the subject of the morning sermon.
Why do people suffer? is a ques-
ton each individual has often
asked. Have you answered it salts
factorily yourself? If you have,
give the pastor your solution. If
not, PERHAPS he can help you. Come
and see.

In these troublous times, while there
are strained relations with Germany,
OF possibly other nations, it should be
the aim of every American citizen to
keep cool, and not borrow imaginative
evils or fly off the handle either as a
pacifist or lingo. The government of
the United States knows more about
the true state of affairs than any one
else, and wild reports are sifted down
by it's agencies and verified or proven
false, as the case may be. It's agen-
cies for finding out the facts in a case
are among the best In the world, and
they are not sleeping. Neither is the
government going to take any action
without having good grounds for it.
In case of difficulty there is not going
to be any such measures taken as have
been going on in foreign countries
such as Selling the property of for
eigners, ETC., and with the mass of
Americans those who may possibly be
citizens of any nation with whom we
are in trouble will find that we are 60
ing along pursuing usual %avocations
without troubling them. Those of
foreign predictions, who have come
to this country to better themselves,
should also take things calmly, and if
trouble does ensue, they should be pre-
pared to act as Americans, not forget
ting that they came here of their own
accord and have been treated as of US.
ANY foreign-born resident who has
come under such circumstances would
be guilty of base ingratitude if he did
otherwise, and ought, if he don't want
to stand up for this country, immedi-
ately leave it. This would only be
common decency; also any citizen of
the country who may feel that he does
not want to sustain the government
should do likewise. At this time there
must be no such thing as partisanship,
but all should be Americans in heart,
soul and body, giving that support to
the government which they can with
out hesitancy or bravado, but as true
and patriotic citizens. In the mean
time pursue the ever tenor of your
wavs, neither by word or deed provok-
ing or hindering your government in
irving to come at the proper and just
settlement of whatever may be at
issue. With faith and loyalty to your
country we may expect that things
will turn out for the best, and of
course we all hope without strife.

lily to pay for the cost of oiling said
street, the said Committee shall or
der the street oiled as soon as suf-
ficient funds is presented in cash to
cover the cost. The city shall pay
the cost of preparing the streets and
oihng intersections, as per the new
law.
