EMERGENcE MET
 BY CREATIVE POWER
Of America For War Time Needs,
 Says Rev. C. H. Rieketts.

The Sunday afternoon "get togeth- err at 5.30 at the Y. M. c. A., yes terday attracted a large number Of sailors, a few soldiers and civilians. After selections by Swahn's orches- tra, finely rendered, several war and patriotic songs were sung, brief prayer was offered and Rev. Charles H. Ricketts delivered a popular ad- dress which greatly delighted the as |. sembled company. In part MT. Rick etts said:
 T want to speak to you today on The Creative power of Emergency We are apt to feel that God is dead. but He is not; He is not yet ready to abdicate in favor of William the
 2nd.
 Tt is wonderful how the Almighty always furnishes the man needed for great emergencies; when the time
 came that a new power was needed
 Watts discovered it in steam, and Full =
 ton made use of it just at the oppof
 tune time. When God needed a great man to deal the death blow to slavery
 He found Lincoln, and how wonder
 fully he fitted in 10 the plan of the
 Almighty.
 When the war broke out we won
 dered where we could secure the nee
 essary chemical for work on steel
 and nickel. for we had been com nelled to depend on Germany; just lt
 the right time, quiet man in Ameri-
 ca said. why can't we make this chemieal% and he gathered some men about him and the chemical was made; when a submarine detector was need ed. the man in our country invente it: when it needed graphite, and could not get it from Germany where we had formerly secured it Yankee suggested that we might make it ir this country, and graphite was made and no more will we depend on Ger many When we entered the war, we 1 were much worried what to do abou' where we would secure the dyes SC l necessary for use. for some time il ] was an exceedingly puzzline ques- | tion, but just at the right time we began to make it in America, and now 1 lver one hundred factories are mak. 1 ing dyes of better quality than we | formerly secured from Germany. 1 like to think that back of all thes 1 discoveries is Almighty God, and g l while we have thought at times that l our faith was weakening, we can takt l courage in the fact that God is al. 1 ways on time, and he will never fai | 10 cooperate with those who strive tC 1 do His will. We talk about religious 1 things: you men are doing religiou, work in offering yourselves for youi
 country just as surely as is the mar 1 who breaches in the pulpit"
 Following the address, an enjoya ble lunch was served free to all. D, l the ladies of the Greeneville Communi 1 ty Workers association, and the boy
 expressed in unrnistakable terms thei deep appreciation of the kind treat
 ment they had received. MT Ely til 1 recently boys secretary of the loca 1 Y. M. c. A.. was in town over Sunda
