If the ministers of the gospel

out of the bible and explain It

tongues. | think that they would
have better church attendance

not poison the minds of the
children anv more than what
they arc and it wouldn't crave an
appetite or desire for anything
bit the way it is being preached
to them. all the time ono can't

Our country is confronted with
the most serious crisis since Lin
coins Inauguration as President
Just as the dire consequences of
the secession of seven Southern
States at the time Lincoln took
the oath of office could not be
foreseen. so are we today unable
to predict what the near future
may have in store for our counl-y
Like the people of Europe we may
be drawn against our will into the
vortex Of the terrible conflict.
The North American Gymnast-
ic. organized in 1850. for the pur
pose of demonstrating the benefits
of systematic physical training Of
the youth. advocates in its plat
form. 'Tho settlement of all in
ternational disputes by judicial
proceedings and the support Of all
endeavors toward the elimination
of all conflicts between nations
and toward harmonious organic
alton of all mankind"
Future generations NAV profit
by the dreadful experience of our
time and settle international dis
putes judicially instead of by
force of arms-for the present,
however. we are confronted by the
grim possibility of war.
Your National Executive Com
mittee feels that an expression Of
its views on the present compile
alton between our country and
Germany is expected by the Diff
ferent Sbcieties comprising the
North American Gymnastic Union.
Such an expression we limit to
the simple statement that since
membership in our organization
is restricted to American citizens,
there can he no other thought
than that all its members will be
true to the demands Of American
citizenship.
Let US bear in mind the tradi.
lions of our organization whose
members il the past responded SO
nobly in the hou> of our coun-
try's need.
No matter where the sympath-
les of individual members NAV
rest. the tender voice of the heart
must be- Silcnrrd should the stern
call of duty be heard.
Let Us at this time support
President Wilson in all efforts in
