MATERIALISM; GOTT OF THE
HUN

That the Germans have surrender
ed to the Prussian system of material
ism is becoming more plain with each
passing day, showing that the Prus-
sian system which Germanys would
thrust upon the world, has brought
about a transformation in that one
time nation of poets and philosophers,
and made it over into nation, race
of the basest materalists that the
world has ever known.
Pastor Eduard Falck, one of the
most noted divines of Germany, fur
nishes part of the proof, if proof is
what is needed. He shows that ma
terialism is the Colt of the Hun.
The following is Corpus Christi
day article which was signed by HIM:
THE spirit of Pentecost is the spir-
it of action, and since the first Pente-
costal day that dawned over the hills
and valleys of Judea nineteen hun
bred years ago no people on earth
have more brilliantly fulfilled this
Divine doctrine than the German.
1t was the inventive spirit, the spir-
it OF seclusion and holy concentra-
ton that built for itself the slender
airship which at length fulfilled the
ideal dream OF humanity.
1t created the marvel Of the U-boat,
which defed all the cunning OF coun-
ter measures Of the enemy, and day
by day breaks off piece after piece of
England's world prestige.
1t brought forth that stupendous
piece of artillery whose fire reaches
to the ethereal regions of the atmos-
pherie ocean and carries death and de-
VISITATION a distance Of 10 miles into
the ranks of the foe
The German spirit creates order
where the ill-directed impulse to-
wards so-called freedom has crushed
into fragments all that is decent and
orderly, and has turned every day
life into chaos.
In this way the German spirit, the
spirit of Pentecost, which is the spirit
Of action, comes as a blessing also to
other nations besides our own, be-
cause it is the one true representa-
ton Of the force Of Christianity"
How the German mind must be
warped and blended by its submission
20 the Prussian system of mil
itarisam, when even her teachers of
Christianity can even boast of U-boat
successes, the sinking Of neutral ships
carrying women and Children, or
giant guns which hurl death and des-
truction seventy miles into Paris, kill
ing women and children-for his pur-
pose called ranks Of the foe 1t is a
religion which has bowed its head to
materialism, and fails to see the finer
Things of life.

COMMUNICATION

Anent the communication from the
Elmwood taxpayers in last weeks
Record, we would like to say that
if Elmwood residents need sew
er, we devoutly hope that they will
get it, and have no objection to their
paying their sewer tax as soon as
possible, for fear the "icy winds" of
winter may overtake them without
the cold comfort Of sewer. We of
Grover avenue think that a few tons
of coal in our cellars would add more
to our comfort. As far as can be
ascertained no sewer has been laid
out for this district. At least no
map of it is available for the inspec-
ton Of those most interested (viz)
the owners who are called upon to
pay the tax. That seems to be all
that has been done in the matter:
just assess the tax. We wait for
more definite assurance that some
thing more is to be done.
