TOWNSVILLE

is one of the sweetest words in the
English language. Yes, peace, sweet
peace, the gift of Gods love and while
that is the case yet at this time there
is no peace. God made the world and
created Adam and Eve and put them
in the Garden of Eden in peace, but
during the first century Cain and Abel
broke that covenant and Cain slew
Abel and shed the first blood and from
that time till the present the she'd
ding of blood has been going on and
increasing in magnitude until it has
reached the greatest proportions in its
history. There has been more blood
shed this year than any year since
the beginning and one man is the
cause of it. What a responsibility
must rest upon his shoulders! Yes,
if | understand it right one man is to
blame and one man can stop the great
struggle and that man is the German
kaiser. If he would declare for peace
and come across right in the fear of
God and all selfishness and greed and
act out of pure heart there would
be no more bloodshed for all the other
nations want nothing more and I lay
the whole blame for the continuance
of this bloody war upon head of the
kaiser. Pity there was Brutus or
Wilks Booth in Berlin. Maybe
they would put the kaiser out of COM
mission, for it would be much better
for one to die than to suffer so much
bloodshed
The automobile gained favor with
me Sunday more than ever before.
The day was scorching hot and the
colored people had preaching in town
and they were driving many mules in
harness and the poor animals were
laboring on the Sabbath in the scorch-
ing sun when they should have been
resting in the shade while the auto
mobiles went gliding by with their
loads of human freight without any
living motor power and not muscle
or nerve at work. So much for the
automobile.
