PASTOR SEES PERIL
In FUTURE OF U. S.
Rev. D. H. Martin DEGREES Lack
of Patriotism Among Many
Classes.

That the present internal situation
OF the United States will ultimately
mean the ruin of this nation If al
lowed to continue, was the prediction
of the Rev. DIR. ID. II. Martin, pastor
of the Dumbarton Avenue Church, in
sermon last night on THE Ever
lasting Kingdom"
at does not take a Daniel to read
the handwriting on the walls In these
days," said Dr. Martin. "If our
country does not correct It's internal
evils, it's days are numbered. This
country is not drifting; she is rush
ing like an express train to disaster.
The revolution in Russia will doubt
less be followed by revolution IN
Germany and Austria. Unless we our
selves set about Immediately to REM
edy certain rotten internal affairs IT
is but a matter of few months when
the outraged public will drop con-
versation and begin action.
sour country is endangered by the
disloyalty of many foreigners TO
whom she has graciously. opened her
doors and given refuge. The country
is imperiled by a lack OF patriotism
on the part of those who are born
and reared here, and who seem blind
to the acuteness of the international
situation. We need more statesman
ship and less politics"
