GOD DOESN'T WANT
SLACKERS; TAKE RISK
Righteousness to Come from Lusi-
tania Sinking, Pastor Saws.

Take the risk. God wants no slack
ers." This was the admonition OF Rev.
Wallaee Radcliffe, ID. D., pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Shursh. in q sermon last night on
''The present crisis Is always a chaI-
lenge," said DR.. Radcliffe. Unto every
decision bring the divine appeal. Be
lore the American troops started for
Bunker Hill. they were led in prayer
by the president of Hervard College.
The Bunker Hills Of life have the
defeats which in reality are victories.
Eden was the first Bunker Hill. Man
was defeated. He ran out OF ammuni-
ton and the whole prospect was ir-
reterivable ruin. In reality, Il was the
ordination of a larger and holier hu-
manity. By man came death, but by
man came also the resurrection from
the dead. Holiness Is greater than in
nocence, and the redeemed Son of God
Of Adam. -
Calvary was another Bunker Hill
where the apparent defeat Of Christ has
meant for uncounted multitudes atone
men, forgiveness and eternal life.
"Wittenberg and its hammer were
dead as against the entrenched prin-
ciples and power Of the Church and
state, but they wrought the .Reforma-
tion./ In our nation. our Bunker Hills
have been at Plymouth and Breeds
Hill and Bull Run and the sinking of
the Lusits nia-all Of them catastrophes
but out of them are coming to the
American Republic freedom, humanity
and righteousness. That little army at
Bunker Hill, defeated, yet victorious,
transmits to US the principles Of sue
cess.
do your bit. Every bit counts, IN
your nation, in your church. in your
self. Our bit Is yourself for Christ, for
right, for truth and for humanity" he
concluded.

KAISER LOST SOUL,
SPEAKER DECLARES
Rev. Dr.. D. H. Martin Predict.
Speedy Downfall of Germany.

That the Kaiser's soul Il already
damned for this world and for eter-
nifty is the opinion expressed by Rev.
DR.. d. H. Martin, pastor Of Wesley
Chapel, in his sermon preached last
night on The Red Cross Campaign 90
DR.. Martin emphasized the readiness
Of the American people TO contribute
to the Red Gross and predicted that
when the total is added up, more will
have been subscribed than the Red
Cross asked for.
DR.. Martin said in part:
America is brim full Of the war
spirit, and there is no apathy among
our people. Our nation has never
failed In anything that IL has under
taken, and We are not going TO fail
In this war. Recent events have given
me ne direct TO all who have said that
Aner1ca Is apathetic and not in earn

moment has come when America will
not let the opportunity to strike Ger
many a deadly blow pass. She will
act Immediately and with telling ef-
"The great things that our country
has done in preparation for the war
IN the past few weeks has terroriLed
the Kaiser and stunned the German
people. The Kaiser's throne Is tot
tertng and Germany is on the brink OF
revolution. The imperial house Is
panicky. Germany has not let the
world know her real condition. The
message Of the Kaiser TO King Con-
stantine assurinf him of the Imperial
wrath" is the mutterinR Of a mad
man, the dying wall OF a soul already
damned for this world and eternity.
America has no hatred for the Ger
man people, but she has a solar pIeHus

right Of kings and all that goes with
THE Red Cross campaign this weel,
to raise sl0O.OO0.OoO will be another
great act on the part Of our people
to convince the world that we are IN
this war to win. When the returns
are in 1t will be found that the ma
ton has raised more money than the
Red Cross asked for. The success
or the enterprise will be in proportion
TO the astounding results Of the lib
erty loan fund.
Let US economic, let US give up
something, eat less, cut out the eT-
