Montagu Love, the famous star of

outgrowth of our common obligat ton
and allied interests with other great
nations of the world.

ASTRAY
FROM TRAIL,
. SAYS MINISTER
Rev. James L. Gordon Con-
trasts Stand Of La Fol-
lette and Roosevelt.

Rafters in the First Congregational
Church shook with applause last night
when Rev. James l.. Gordon. Its
pastor. declared In his emphatic way.
Thank God ! am an Americana after
pointing out how Senator La Toilette
and william Jennings Bryan had gone
astray over the trails leading TO weak
principles OF loyalty-after showing
how La Toilette. has missed his way
and turned in the wrong direction. and
how Bryan has been sidetracked from
principles that made his name q
household word but a short time ago.
Taking for his textaJohn xii:23, '"The
Hour Is Come" Rev. Gordon preached
on the subject Of ''The Men and the
Hour" using the names OF La Toilette.
Bryan and Roosevelt as an illustration
Of the idea that this IL the hour of
destiny and that every man in uni
form, no matter how humble his posi-
ton might be, had a chance for
glorious achievement in the present
war.
America shall lead the world in this
hour of supreme need" said DIR. Cor
don. who then proceeded to draw a
picture of several who have achieved
distinction in American history that
was gained by grasping opportunities
arising from some great crisis. THE
appeal OF the crisis" as he termed 1t.
In quick succession he told how
Washington had lived in a group of
years in which every day was great;
how Lincoln, then unknown. had OBJ
served when the slavery question came
up. Some day I feel am going to
have a hand in it," how Chauncey NJ.
Depew charged a farmer IS as a first
fee and twenty years later was earning
fabulous amounts by his legal prac-
tice; how Samuel Francis Smith, In
1882, wrote America" and later re-
marked, ''I never supposed that was
writing a national anthem!" and
others who had the courage TO face
the crisis.
Referring to Roosevelt, DR.. Gordon
asserted that he has made his name
great because of the tremendous risks
he has been willing to assume. NO
man ever sacrificed more for his con-
yictions," he said.
He spoke of Senator La Toilette in
kindly way, laying stress upon the
fact that he had simply missed his
opportunity. Had he taken a different
course he would now be famous for
his true Americanism instead of be-
ing looked upon with suspicion the
way he is. was DR.. Gordon's teIief.
Beware the hour of destiny" eau
toned the preacher, who also employ
ed such expressions as that unknown
destiny-that unconscious destiny" to
carry out the idea.
A great congregation greeted DR..
Gordon at his two sermons yesterday,
despite weather conditions. Standing
room only was the watchword on both
occasions, and many uniforms graced
the vast audiences. Handclapping was
of frequent occurrence. and evidently
the crowds approved of the sentiments
expressed.
