SPEAKER SAYS
GOD WILL END TT
Continued From rage one,

/ men as Comrades Of the Peace Move
! ment. Today they are being enlisted in
| the training camps to shoot our Ger
! man brother Endeavorers We think
back to those great conventions when
/ British and German alike were all sing
ing. Blest Be The Tie That Binds but
today thousands are no more and have
: given their lives in defense of the prin-
+ ciples which they upheld. What does
ell this mean? 1t is not for us 10 ask
Il this time what caused the war or
what the results viii be. for the hour
has come for every one to do his duty.
The average man will only consider
I this question in the light of the ordi-
nary citizen. but to my mind. war has a
double responsibility to a Christian; he
must view it both from the angle as a
citizen Of his country and citizen of
the Kingdom.
This union represents many differ
ent denominations. We all pray to the
/ same Cod The same God rules ov CT
4 the ancestors of all. We are a cosm O.
politan people. We are of the blood Ct
all nations that are at war. However.
we have many conscientious Endeavor-
ers in this state who have been tra-ne0
TO think differently in respect to war as
Christians. AS I look over the ranks Of
Union officers today l find several have
left and. others will go. Never before
must such question be decided SO
! definitely as now. of course. first Of
: all. we are all Americans. We all wish
10 be patriotic. Patriotism has taken
more forms in expressing itself these
days than ever before. We will be
called patriots or traitors Armed neu-
trality is a term already forgotten.
Someone recently said that he feared
the Americans would not make good
soldiers because we did not feel enough
Indignation. What he meant TO say
was we did not hate our enemies suffi-
GENTLY. In fact. is that not in a way
a tribute?"
pray For Our Enemies who Hate U.s."
President Gilliom concluded his
message to the convention with the ad-
vice that their meetings be marked by
lofty spirit of devotion and that they
devote the last five minutes of the
prayer period each time for -spec,a.
+ sincere prayer for all our boys in
actual service, also at the same time
pray for our enemies who hate US" He
suggested that a Relief Department be
/ organized to keep close record on the
( Endeavorers who enlist that the ones
at home might write letters of good
1 cheer and send literature.
Keep the home fires burning till the
boys come home" was the presidents
! instruction. followed by the slogan:
More business for the King-yes, even
more than usual"
