sometimes winked at by ecclesiastical
authority. The only way to make
people good, whether 1t be to make
them sober or virtuous. is not thri
the legislatures and courts, but thru
the conviction Of their souls and theif
realization that they need to follow
the paths of right and shun the high
ways OF the devil.
The Lord pointed out to Ahab the
great multitude of Syrians and told
him not to be afraid of them; that he
would deliver them into the hands Of
Israel. Why not take this as the slo-
gan Of every child of God? DO not
be afraid Of the enemy because they
lock big and threatening. II the
Lord is on your side, tremble not
though all the hosts of sin gather to
do battle with you. The Lork is able
to deliver them into your hands. But
Ahab's was an exceptional case. He
had no claims whatever on divine
mercy or interpostion; it was done for
the sake OF the thousands Of Gods
people who still remained faithful in
Israel So the requisite to Gods pro-
lection and Intervention for us Is that
we remain among the faithful who
put their trust in him. Why are mer
afraid of thunder and lightning, or
wars alarms, of violent death, or Of
death at all? II one lives in obedience
tc God there is absolutely no reason
why he should be afraid. Many peo-
pie are miserable every time they re-
member that some day they must
| die. What folly for a child of God to
entertain such fears. II we are child
rem of God, II is q sad commentary on
cur faith that we regard with fear the
day when the Father will call Us
home. Rather we should rejoice that
we are heirs of eternal life and wei
come the day when We shall enter
upon our Inheritance.
Drunkenness and boastine generally

more or less conscious Of his means Of
, ability, as well as to some extent his
unworthiness before God and man.
But when the stomach is filled with
LIQUOR and the fire of alcohol runs
thru his veins, he forgets ell caution.
all decency, all reasonableness and es-

folly of this need not be enlarged up
on. The repentant drunkard the day

RODIEK LOSES
CITIZENSHIP,
SAYS JURISI

Personal opinions expressed today
by Federal Judge Horace w. Vaughan
and Assistant q. s. Attorney ]. J.
Banks are that Georg Rodiek, vice
president OF H Hackfeld & Co., and
former German consul here, has been
shorn Of his American citizenship
rights as the result of his conviction
in San Francisco Of activity in the
plot to foinent rebellion in India.
The federal statutes provide that
when a person is convicted of q felony
he forfeits his right to vote as well as
his right to hold public office. As re-
CARDS the determination Of a felony,
the statutes definition is that all Of.
lenses which may be punishable by
death or imprisonment for term ex-
ceeding one year. shall be deemed a
felony.
Instead OF being given a prison SEN
tence for the felony he pleaded guilty
to. Rodiek was fined $4,000 by the
San Francisco judge now hearing the
Hindu conspiracy matter. Judge
Vaughan points out that the fact, that
Rodiek was merely fined does mol re-
lieve him from the forfeiture ofNhis
citizenship rights.
Citizenship rights may be restored
