PASTOR UPHOLDS
WAR DECLARATION
Rev. C. A. Decker Praises
Idea of Going to War to
Defend Principles.

When Christ said If an enemy
strike thee on the cheek turn to
him the other. He did not mean
that we are to lay down and allow
ourselves 10 be kicked about, de-
clared Rev. c. A. Decker, pastor Of
the First Baptist church in his SER
mon Easter Sunday evening on "A
State of War Exists"
Rev Decker discussed the ques-
ton Of the righteousness of war, and
of the present war OF the United
States and approval Of the action Of
the president and congress on the
grounds that il was forced upon
them. I'VE must always defend our
sacred rights, he said. II am a paci-
fist but not a peace at any price
man. Some prices Of peace are too
high. The time has come when the
price Of peace is war and we have
TO vote for war if we are patriotic"
Rev. Decker in upholding the ac>
ton Of the president said that it
must be evident TO all that he had
acted with elaboration. He praised
the idea Of going to war 10 uphold
the ideals of democracy and main
tanned that while the allies are 20 .be
criticized in many respects they are
lighting for something nearer the
ideals OF democracy than are the
Germans.
There were IS baptisms at the
church Sunday and all the services
were we'll attended. Special musical
programs were rendered.
In the morning, Rev. Decker
spoke on the subject, "I Shall Live
Again, an Easter sermon. In con-
Guiding this sermon Rev. Decker
said: To-day millions are celebrat-
ing the resurrection Of Jesus because
il is a promise Of their own resur-
rection and this really is the only
logical reason why We should cele
brate the resurrection OF Jesus at
all"

HE IS R|SEN'' IS
GREAT MESSAGE
Preaching Would be in Vain
Had Christ Not Been
ReSurreCted.

The words. "He is Risen" were
styled by Rev. w. A. Brundige, pas
tor of the Indiana Avenue Christian
church. "the worlds greatest mes
sage" in his Easter Sunday sermon.
At the special services for the occa-
sion. which we're attended by a con-
gregation that filled the church, a
number OF persons converted during
the recent revival and since were
baptized.
Never does the veil between the
present and the future seem quite so
thin as on Easter. Never DO we feel
quite so sure that death has been
conquered as on this day, when we
hear the words ringing in our ears,
He is risen,'" said Rev. Brundige
in opening his sermon.
In speaking of other important
messages which the world has re-
eiyed. Rev. Brundige continued:
IN the flight of years since the
morning of creation the world has
sageS. That was a great message 10
the world after the long lapse of
darkness when God said. Let there
be light Again in the upward
sweep Of Gods great plan for the
world comes another message, few in
words but mighty in meaning, Let
us make man in our own image and
likeness Created with almost di-
vine possibilities. yet for centuries
he was unable TO cope with two
great enemies. sin and death, and
God sent him deliverance with that
final message which is contained in
the words, lie is risen
I'VE would not be here celebrating
this great feast if Christ had not
risen from the dead. for. as Paul
said. If Christ be not risen from the
dead then is our preaching vain "
said Rev Brundige in conclusion.

RESURRECTION IS
GREATEST THING
Rev. A. E. Thomas Says Risen
Lord Proves Neither Death
Nor Sin Masters.

Declaring that the Resurrection
stands out prominently above all
other facts of our experience be
cause IL shows that neither death
nor sin are mans masters, Rev. y.
r. Thomas. pastor of the First
Brethren church, in his sermon on
The Power of the Resurrection
Easter Sunday morning explained
how the resurrection has been the
guarantee Of Christian faith from
the very earliest times. and how il
is still the anchor 10 which Chris
tianity is moored
lie said in part
Paul drew his strength and as
surance for all his labors from the
great background. the risen Lord.
lie cries Christ is risen. therefore
be ye steadfast unmovable. always
Astounding i'm the work of the Lord.
The same thing is true in the lives
OF all the apostles In the Acts of
the apostles the resurrection OF Je-
sus stands out like a great noun
tain peak which never out OF
sight Il was the tonder OF Won
ders. When this wonder appeared
all others disappeared. When this
wonder was questioned all others
persisted. If Christ be not risen then
everything withers away. Apostolic
hope was born in the empty tomb.
There are two reasons why the
resurrection stands out prominent
Is above all First: II Christ is
risen from the dead, then death is
not master; risen Christ means a
redeemed world. Death is not mas
ter if Christ be risen. this, there
, fore. is the reason for our faith.
/ This assurance comes 20 me when
j find my own life on earth going
and the opened grave stands before
me- Death is conquered i'm Jesus.
Victor Hugo said. The tomb is not
blind alley; it is a thoroughfare
1t closes in the twilight. it opens in
the dawn
The second reason is: If Christ
is risen then sin is not master As
look at the cross. and see the jeer-
| ing mob. and see the Son of God
| die I cry within. Sin has conquered.
| But after they had done their
worst. IL after death and burial Je-
sus merged forth from the grave
not "a weakling but gloriously alive
and the fountain of life then sin is
not master but the mastery belongs
/ 20 the Lord OF life and the message
today is amid the clashng OF
swords. Jesus loves: Jesus lives. '

EASTER OBSERVED

Cold Weather Fails to Prevent
Style Parade on Down

A trihe chilly in the shade, but on
the sunny side OF the street almost
ideal. was probably the most gen
eral impression registered in regard
TO Easter Sunday in South Bend this
year 1t was observed quietly in
this city with the usual elaborate
church services all expressing the
joyousness of the occasion.
In tire morning most everybody
went 10 church. even those who are
brought into its portals only by
some such special occasion. The
/ services in local churches were as
beautiful and impressive as they
usually are on Easier. In the joy
Gus Easter hallelujahs there was.
! however, THIS year a nOte'o sadness
which found expression especially in
the sermons of the pastors. hardly
one Of whom failed TO allude TO the
present international situation. Sew
| eral ministers substituted for their
intended Easter talks sermons on the
subject OF the war.
In the afternoon everyone that
owned a machine had il out, and
those that did not, walked. The
streets. extremely crowded toward
the late afternoon and in the even
ing. were a veritable flood Of cOlors.
Everyone apparently had on his full
spring outfit. from shoes to hat. ard
if any unfortunate individual did
venture forth clad i'm his winter
trappings" his lonesOmeness soon
drove him to cover.
The more conspicuous cOlors are
more conspicuous and general than
ever this spring in the lady's styles
displayed on the streets Sunday. and
i'm nearly every instance the riot of
color was heightened by corsage

FIND BOMBS ON SHIP
Captain of informed Vessel Reports
Presence To Authorities.

HAVANA, April 9.-Two bombs
were found Sunday in the engine
room Of the steamship Bavaria,
one of the four German self-in-

Saturday by the cuban authorities.
l. is said the captain of the Bavaria
notified the officers Of the presence
Of the bomb in the vessel, saying he
did not wish 10 see any one injured,
as he mad received such excellent
treatment here.
The supposition is that il was the
intention of the crew 10 destroy the
Bavaria by exploding the bombs bur
that the quick action Of the au-
thorities in seizing the ship pre-
vented this plan being carried out.
