GODS DISPLEASURE is
RESTING UPON GERMANY

II believe Gods displeasure is rest
Ing upon Germany because OF her dis
belief in His word, because of her
disbelief in the divinity of His Son and
because Of her disbelief in His word"
declared Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D.
D. to a large Montreal audience dur
Ing the course of a sermon in which
he was making an appeal for the
| church to do its full part in keeping
the covenant which God has estab-
lished between the church and Him
self.
Dr. Chapman has made a number of
| references to the war and it's relation
TO the church in his sermons during
the evangelistic period at Montreal
Speaking Of America and the war, he
has said that America had reached the
time when she had gone pleasure mad,
when she had been blinded by wealth.
when she had lost her hold upon Christ
and had forgotten God and His word;
and that God is speaking through the
war and through the numerous other
calamities that have befallen the
country in recent months. and is urg-
Ing men and women to hear Him when
He calls, and that II they will hear,
He will bless, but II they will not
hear. they will be brought face to face
with the judgment seat of Christ. He
has said further in this connection that
the time had come when the church
had lost the consciousness OF God. had
lost the power of prayer and some
ministers had pushed God into sec
ondary place. and that no church or
no nation can prosper when 1t crowds
God out OF its life
Dr.. Chapman has expressed the
opinion that the present war will not
end until the power OF God intervenes
and brings 1t to an end. and he urges
that the great question before the
church in this regard is how to secure
the favor OF God to the extent that
he will bring His power to bear in the
near future and end the tragedy Of
battle. He insists that this favor.can-
not be secured until the church so
humbles itself as to give God the first
place In its life. which, is His rightful
place, and lives so close to Him and in
such harmony with His will that He
VIII assert His power to bring peace
to the earth and will "in wrath re.
member mercy"

ings. leaf that tho farmers only q
very few years ago wero In the habit
OF throwing away as fast as 1t was
taken from the stalk. 1t has been dis
covered that the primings can BIO
cured into good stock for cigarette
making and they have become n very
profitable part Of the regular crop. In
some OF the markets that opened last
week prtmtngs brought over $50 per
hundred. and II this Is taken as an
indication OF the value this season Of
lear tobacco 1t may be said the farm
ers OF Virginia and North Carolina
who grow the bright weed have moro
money on their tobacco hills this year
IMAM they nave ever been known to
realize from tho cultivation OF the
weed.
Sales were made the last week in the
markets Of Danville. Lynchburg, South
Boston, South Hill and perhaps a few
Others In virginia. and in Rocky Mount
Reidsville, Greenville and some others
In North Carolina, and from all of
them como reports Of the highest
prices for primings and tho first cut
tinEs of the crop that ever were re-
alized on the Same class Of goods In
a week or two all of the Virginia and
North Carolina markets except those
which sell only tho sun-cured and
dark shipping goods. Will be in full
blast and from then until the crop
shall be converted into money the to-
bacco dealers of the two States Will
