Rev. Farnum, rector of the Episco-
pal church was called upon for a few
remarks. He told of being in the
great commonwealth of Minnesota
when the world wal began. He said
that the majority of the people OF that
state were in sympathy with the cen
raj powers, at first and that the few
people feeling that the allies were in
the right had hard time asserting
themselves. cit took the sinking of
the Lucitania to change the sentiment
in the great cities like st. Paul and
Minneapolis" exclaimed Mr.. Farnum.
After this disaster the people began
to realize that the fatherland, as many
of the people of this state we're of Ger
man extract, was governed by wal
dogs who would use any means in
their power to accomplish their pur-
pose.
Mr.. Farnum praised the patriotism
of the great Southland and told the
citizens of Hendersonville that he was
glad of the opportunity to be with
them.
