Building a Life

Building life" was the subject
of DR.. Turner's sermon Monday eve
ming. His text was, "For we are la
bourers together with God: We are
Gods husbandry, We are Gods build
ing". First Corinthians SO. The
preacher said in part:
Before building is begun there
must be plans and specifi atoms.
God has given the plans and spe.i-
fications for building a life in-the
perfect life Of lis son, Jesus Christ
To get these plans and specifications
one only has to read Gods word.
A Firm Foundation Necessary
When a man starts to erect a
building he must first be sure of a
firm foundation. No wise builder
can afford to erect a building on a
poor foundation. While it is impor-
tant to have a solid foundation for
the erection Of a building On earth.
it is still more important to have a
solid foundation for the building of
a life life which must live through
time and eternity. No man can build
a life that will stand the test of God
unless it is founded upon Jesus
Christ, the solid rock. Two lives may
look alike to the world. One may
collapse and the other stand. Why
Because one was founded upon Jesus
and the other not. No soul will be
saved by initiating the life of Jesus
Christ. The life must be built OF
:, Christ. Unless you build. charac.
ter founded on Gods salvation it will
crumble and fail in the end.
i Must Pay the Price
! It costs something to build a life
worth while. A man must be will
ing to pay the bill. Too many art
not willing to pay the price of God
| ly life. Any man can live worldly
| life, a life that will not stand Cod;
test. Men don't want to give up tn,
world and worldly things. The lif
that yields to God will live forever
the life that does not will perish.

In a note to former King Constan-
tine of Greece, deposed by the Allies,
the German Kaiser says he heard
about it with wrath" and that "the
mailed fist of Germany, with further
aid from Almighty God," would re-
store him to his throne. The thing
that makes the German KAISER mad
is that he has caught glimpse on
what is going to happen to him, q
glimpse of the handwriting on the wal
which foretells his being placed in
the discard along with some Other
kings who have chung to the divine
right of kings.

HOW THE WAR CAME
TO AMERICA
Continued from Yesterday

That this attitude of England
deeply impressed our Government is
shown by the increasing attention
given by the United States to the
search for ways and means of in
suring at the end of the war, a last
ing peace for all the world. The ad-
dress of our President, on May 27,
1916, before the League to Enforce
Peace was milestone in our his
tory He outlined the main principles
on which sable peace must rest,
principles plainly indicating that
this Nation would have to give up it's
position of isolation and assume the
responsibilities of world power.
The President said:
$50 sincerely do we believe these
things that l am sure that l speak
the mind and wish of the people of
America when l say that the United
States is willing to become partner
in any feasible association of nations
formed in order to realize these OBJ
jects and make them secure against
violation"
1t was new and significant note
in our foreign policy. But the mind
of America had learned much in the
long bitter months of war. Future
historians will make charts of this
remarkable evolution in our public
opinion: the gradual abandonment
of the illusion of isolation; the slow
growth of realization that we
could not win freedom on sea-for
US a vital interest-unless we con-
sented to do our share in maintain
ing freedom on land as well, and
that we could not have peace in the
world-the peace we loved and
needed for the perfection of our de-
mocracy-unless we were willing
and prepared to help to restrain any
nation that willfully endangered the
peace of the whole world family.
Had this address of the President
come before the war, there would
have arisen storm of protest from
all sections of the land. But in May
1916, the Nations response was en-
phatic approval.
In the meantime, although our
neutral rights were not brought into
question by Germany as early as by
England, the German controversy
was infinitely more serious.
For any dissensions that might
arise, no arbitration treaty existed
between the United States and the
German Government. This was from
no fault of ours. We had tried to
establish with Germany the same
treaty relations we had with Great
Britain and 10 other nations. But
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-08-14

these overtures had been rejected
And this action on the part o. the
Imperial German Government was
only one example of its whole sys.
tenn Of diplomacy. In both confer-
ences at The Hague it had been the
German delegates who were the
most active in blocking all projects
for the pacific settlement of dis
putes between nations. They had
preferred to limit international re-
lations to the old modes of diplo.
macy and war. 1t was therefore OBJ
vious from the first that the contro.
versy with the German Government
would be exceedingly serious; for if
it could not be solved by direct di.
plomatic conversations, there was
no recourse except to war.
From such conversations there is
small hope of satisfactory results
unless the good faith of both sides
is profound. If either side lacks
good faith, or reveals in all it's ac-
tions an insidious hostility, diplo-
macy is of no avail. And so it has
proved in the present case.
In the first year of the war the
Government of Germany stirred up
among its people feeling of re-
sentiment against the United States
on account of our insistence upon
our right as a neutral nation to
trade in munitions with the belliger-
ent powers. Our legal right in the
matter was not seriously questioned
by Germany. She could not have
done so consistently, for as recently
as the Balkan Wars of 1912 and
1913 both Germany and Austria sold
munitions to the belligerents. Their
appeals to US in the present war
were not to observe international
law, but to revise it in their interest.
And those appeals they tried to
make on moral and humanitarian
grounds. But upon "the moral issue"
involved, the stand taken by the
United States was consistent with its
traditional policy and with obvious
common sense. For if, with all other
neutrals, we refused to sell muni-
tions to belligerents, we could never
in time of a war of our own obtain
munitions from neutrals, and the
nation which had accumulated the
largest reserve Of war supplies in
time of peace would be assured Of
victory. The militarist state investing
its money in arsenals would be at q
fatal advantage over the free people
who invested their wealth in schools.
To write into international law that
ncutrals should not trade in NUM-
tions would be to hand over the
world to the rule of the nation with
the largest armament factories Such
policy the United States of Amer
lea could not accept.

Warning Issued By La.
State Board Of Health

New Orleans, La, Aug. 9, 1917
Mr.. Percy Saint,
District Attorney,
Franklin, La.
Dear Sir:
The Department of Justice recent
ly investigated the sale of court
plasters in various sections Of the
United States. Analyses were made
and some found to contain tetanus
germs. This is suspected as being the
work of German sympathizers, in
an attempt to spread disease there
by crippling industry. Caution
against the purchase of this remedy
except from approved sources has
been issued, this warning being par
ticularly directed against the pur-
chase in small packages from street
peddlers and itinerant venders.
l wish TO emphasize the impor-
tance of this caution and request
your assistance in removing the
source of such danger. Section SIS
(b) of the Sanitary Code and Sec.
IL of Act Sc of 1914 prohibit the
sale of any instrument, device. ap-
paratus, or article designed or in
tended for the relief of cure of any
ailment or disease by an itineran.
vendor.
At this time, when our country is
engaged in war, it is Of the greatest
necessity, in the interest Of maxi
mum efficiency, that the publ:
health be zealously guarded. We are
fortunate in having already enacted
. law prohibiting the sale Of medi-
cinal preparations by itinerant ven
dors. A rigid enforcement of this
law RIGHT NOW will be q precau-
ton of the utmost importance.
Thanking you for your continued
cooperation and assistance, l am,
]. ROY KEENY.
