 Stirring Sermon Delivered by Rev. Edward F. Barrow Sunday Evening
 The Rev. Edward F. Barrow preach ing Sunday evening at the Mckinley Avenue A. M. F.. Zion chureh from the question, .sWhat have I to do with thee, Jesus. thou Son of the most high God?p said in part, this question was asked by demeniac who encountered Jesiis This mentally unbalanced man asked it, and nultitudes have asked it since and are asking 1t today. Many feel that they do not need Jesus in these changed" days, but on exam ming the moral and spiritual cendi- tion of the world. we discover that it needs Him no was when He was busy in Deeapoiis Men need the great transformation which Jesus offers. There is no crueifying of the fesh with it's lusts without the help of Christ. Jesus meets the religious needs of the world. He shows men the God they lcns for, and teaches them that He is their Father. The world needs moral power. Other religions give much good counsel. but Christianity gives men moral power. which enables them to give the negative attitude to evil and sinful suggestions. The greatest and surest credentials of Christianity are it's ability to make men new erea- tures All barbarities and crueIties and lyIlching, the crime of our repub- lie that makes us weep, can he put an end to by Jesus, if those who do such hendish things allow the Spirit of Christ to enter their hearts and in 'auence their lives. The great world war has not shown that Christianity has broken down. It has shown and is still showing. that the things which nations trusted as guarantee of peace have failed. But if they will apply the principles of Christ in dealing with each other, peace will come to last forever.

HolIand More Useful a, Neutral.


 Holland can be of no possible ser- vice to the allies as an active enemy Of Germany. Only by remaining neutral can she keep the Hun out of her baun- daries. A declaration of war against him would give him an opportunity to overrun the country and acquire the mouths Of the Rhine and the Seifeldt for U-boat bases Antwerp, now effec- lively closed by Dutch neutrality, would be open to the sea and Ger many's submarine warfare weuie re- ceive a new lease of life.
 Allied diplomacy dealt the allies a tremendous blew when it succeeded in getting Rumania into the war. Ger many practically was out of oil while Rumaaia was neutral, but as soon as she became belligerent Germany seized her oil fields and these alone have made the submarine campaign possible. Similarly Germans now is enjoying a plentitude of Rurnanian wheat of which there was a bumper crop last year. If Holland is drawn in as Ruuania was the result will be a yeritable allied disaster and the cause of democracy will be set back for months. if not for years
 MT Abell declared that the great mass of the Dutch people are strongly pro- ally. The rank and file Of the ! army, he said, entertain such syrnpa : l thy with the allied cause that 1t is I highly possible that revolution would | follow an alliance with Germany. The chief supporters of such an alliance ] he said, were the army officers and the I military clique, who regard the German arms with the highest admiration. 1 The Dutch, press. he continued stands almost solidIy behind the allies ana anti Gernanism of the Amsterdan l '-Telegraaf," was so pronounced thaf the government arrested it's editor and suppressed the paper, fearing that 1t activities were ieoPardizing the neu- | trality of Holland The Hooge Raad or supreme court of Holland, MT.

 country from Holland on the &tetE
 Amsterday of the Holland -Auericau
 Line had a most exciting and danger ous voyage across. Writing ef his trip he says:
 ! have arrived in Amerifa after pne of the most exciting and deugereuf voyages in the Gnnais of Atlantic shipping came oyer on the Niew Amsterdam of the Holland Ameriean Line and to avoid the submarine war zone We had to make a detcur ef a7e
 dam, skiINing the coast of NaTway and running nearly to the Arctic Gip- cle. We were within 100 miles ot Iceland when we turned and sailed southwest. The weather was go mild off Iceland. owing to the influence et the Gulf Stream that We eoasla so or deck without an evercoat. The furth- CT south we went. however. the colder Lit grew and off the coast of Lahfa- dor VIC struck 8 terrific cold wave with thermometer at -zo degrees be- low zero. At the same time there was a heavy sea and the steamer was coat ed with ice six inches thick from stem to stern, nnasts. rigging and all. While sailing through the North See we were in momentary danger of strik, llng drifting mines of which there arf thousands aAoat We sighted seVeral within twenty wards of the steamer. I l is really miracle that we did not hi one, since we sailed at night. The twt other boats of the line which attempt ed the passage did in fact run eute mines.
 There was also danger fram subma- rines as the full neutral passagewaa was only two and 8 half miles wid, and it was difficult to keep in it.
 The second day out we sighted 1;
 fleet of ten battleships. when thu Americans aboard began to worry thinking they were Germans coming t take us prisoners. When they wer' quite near, however. they hoisted tn Union Jack and then everybody cheer 1 ed. :.
