such that any laxity on the part

County Council of Defense. The
War Board in the case of James
Harp
After investigating alleged dis
loyal utterances of James Harp
made from the pulpit of the Breth
rem Church, near Teakean. Idaho,
the Board finds:
That in sermon on the subject
by rs the Young Man Safe?" de-
livered by James Harp on February
IL, 1918, at the said Brethren
Church. the following extract from
The Gospel Messenger" a sectar-
ian paper published at Elgin, Illi-
nois. was read to the congregation:
Previous reference has been
made to the common practice of
the British troops according to
which a portion of rum is said to
be administered to every soldier
just before going into action. A
young English soldier, an abstainer
from liquor all his life, was forced
upon penalty of death to drink a
shot of rum before going on guard
duty one night. The rum caused
the boy to become drowsy and lat
er on an officer found him asleep
while on duty. Amid the stern
realities of war there could be but
one result. He was court martial
led and shot the next morning. A
few days later the sad news of his
tate reached his mother, the shock
Of which unexpected tidings killed
her on the spot. So two lives paid
the penalty of forcing liquor on ar
unwilling victim"
That said James Harp, in the
course of said sermon further said
in reference to speech he ha(
recently heard:
Il cannot agree with Reverend
johnson on this point In the fac'
of hte commandment: Thou shall
not KILL it would seem impossible
to me to hold the transport 70
Cody in one hand and a rife il
the other"
That said James Harp, in tn
course of said sermon, further ad
monished his congregation that tn
killing of an enemy in battle wa
sin for which the soldier mus
seek forgiveness or be debarre
from the Kingdom of Heaven.
~. -u,
That it is further charge
against the said James Harp tina
he spoke of the army as a "licen
tious place" for a young man an
stated that immortality is encoul
aged in the army; that young me
are there tempted to use Tobacco
and to dance, that "the army is a
instruments to lead young me
away from Christ" and that go
has deserted us in this war" TIL
Board in inclined to accept and r.
ly upon the truth of the charge
and to give full credence to til
standing the emphatic denials {
the person charged.
".
That allegiance of said Jam,
Harp to the Constitution and go'
eminent of the United States al
pears to be subordinate to his r.
ligious creed and to the doctrine
derived from his own or other il
terpretations of the Bible.
vi.
That attempts have been mao
among the members of said Brett
rem Church, to retaliate against il
formers furnishing this Board wit
information of the matters here
set forth.
That said James Harp and Il
local members of his church ha'
failed to purchase any Liber
Bonds of the United States, of Il
first and second issues offered, 9
though financially able so to d
and have not supported their go
eminent according to the cour
and practice of good American Ct

Dunkard Preacher Must

guard duty is so obviously false
and malicious that its circulation
by THE Gospel Messenger" can
have no other object than the SLAM
dering Oh hte army, now united

culation of such story by any
preacher or layman is an act of
righteousness tending to obstruct
our government In the successful
prosecution of the war.

That the sermon preached by
said James Harp of February II,
1918, was of nature to discour-
age the prosecution of the war and
tenaing to obstruct the government
in the mastering Of necessary for

loyalty and violation of the allie

WILL DISTRIBUTE APPLES
 TO ARKANSAS VISITORS

The people of the North hear much of "the big red apples" of Arkansas, and this luscious fruit is held out as one of the attractions for national conventions. Incidentally, too much is never said of them, for they are justly celebrated throughout the country.
 But even "the big red apple is af- fected by the great war. The Arkan- sas women who will be hostess to the General Federation of Women's Clubs early in May, had planned to have large quantity of the apples at Hot Springs to be given away to the wis itors. But the local biennial board had made their plans without consid- ering the exigencies of the public service.
 The apples were to be bought by the women, and at first they had as- surances that they would be trans ported free by the express com panies. The superintendent of the company, however, has notified the state president, Mrs. II. c. Gibson, that this cannot be done.
 Now the women of Arkansas, who are raising the funds for the enter tainment of the Federation, are hop ing that some public spirited boost CTS among the apple growers, or other citizens, will devise some plan whereby the apples to advertise Ar kansas may be sent at once to Hot Springs without additional cost to the biennial board.

SEVERE WINTER KILLS
 SHRUBBERY AND TREES

That last winter was one of the most severe in many years is proven by the fact that mores hrubbery was killed than in many years before. Roses, jasmine, myrtle, hedges and even hardier trees and shrubs were killed to the ground-and have had to be cut. In many cases, however, they will come up from the roots again. Beautiful shrubbery that had resisted tfe cold of many winters was killed, and only the dead wood left when it should have been mantled with green.
