powerful organizations in this State

the Lord Jesus supply the demands
for entertainment that mas always
characterized the active young men
and women of our country.
We invited you to Lakeland be-
cause we wanted you; we wanted you
here because of what you are; We
wanted you here again because We
needed YOU

ant. and the pleased and displeaseo

committee OF banks. banking houses

PASTOR DESCRIBES
TRUE PATRIOTISM
DR.. Thompson Says One
Evidence is Support of
ihe Liberty Loan
WANTS UNITED
NATION IN WAR

"Patrotism Defined and Applied"
was the subject of DR. A. II. Thomp-
sons sermon in ST. Pauls NJ. e.
Church last evening.
DR. Thompson said, in part:
Patriotism is a word on every lip.
II has been defined as the last refuge
Of a scoundrel That it often is in a
perverted form. but there is a genuine
patriotism which consists in a real
love OF ones country. This does not
necessarily imply that patriotism is
altogether altruistic. IL may proceed
from a mixed motive. One has said
that IL is an intelligent self-interest.
A little consideration will relieve us
from the shock that these words at
first cause.
What do we love in a country? In
America we sing, 4 love thy rocks
and rills.' We do. but why? Because
they are associated with pleasant
memories. Suppose they had been as
sociated with cruelty and oppression.
with scenes OF bloodshed, with
mothers and daughters ravished and
fathers slain for entertaining certain
ligion. Would we then love them?
Would we not rather view them with
horror and seek TO fee from them?
We love the country then because
OF our form of government. II is a
mild form OF government 1t Is a
benefcent form OF government. II
is n benevolent form OF government
II is free government Il makes its
own laws. II elects its own officers.
II governs itself
Under this form OF government we
have grown great. We enjoy liberties
second to no other nation on earth,
and the opportunities for natural de-
velopmentand advancementa are greater
here Than anywhere else. Such gov
ernmcnt is worth preserving.
"At the present time il is imperilled.
no form OF government is divine. Ma
iions have a right 10 make a selection.
People have a right 10 surrender lib /
ertv Tor military efficiency II they
choose. But they have no right 10 |
deny existence TO other nations, and
10 force their form OF government ]
upon unwilling peoples. This Is pre- /
cisely what Germany controlled by 1
Prussianism has done and proposes 1
10 do. Germany has perpetrated one |
OF the blackest crimes in all history
against Belgium and iustifes Il on
the ground OF military necessity. !
What she has done to Belgium and
10 parts OF France she will do 70 us
Il she gets the power.
1T Is. therefore. TO our highest self
interest that we should combat this
foe TO the full measure ot our
strength. Patriotism in the cold is
an intelligent self-interest. But pa
iriotsm can become a passion Pa
iriousm can fuse nation and pa
triotism should fuse us now We
