EXTRACTS FROM
 SUNDAY SERMON
 ON WAR LESSONS
Rev. G. D. Christian Claims That Spiritual Right Was Heaviest on Side of
 the Allies.
HUNS NOT RELIGIOUS
Minister Claims That Their Unbe|ief Led to Their Undoing and to Their
 Atrocities.

Taking of the text, But Of the Son He Saith, a sceptre of rightness IS the secptre of Thy Kingdom" and quoting the noble words of General Pershing, Dean Christian, Sunday morning in the Advent session ser mon referred to the fresh assertion of the law of right over might, de claring that the law of Christs Kingdom was in force now, in this world. Following are some excerpts from the sermon:
 When the history of the war shall have been written, it will be proved that God was not with the strong est legions. The tide of battle was turned again and again by the strength of the weaker If legions could have done it alone, Germany would have won in the first year o1 the war. She certainly would have won in this present year. It is nc belittling of what America has con tributed to the issue to say that the arrival of America did not give vic tory to the AllleS.
 French and English morale iron August, 1914, to the last month made German legions impotent to force their will upon the world. Numbers did not win the war. Spiritual fore es have won it. We must avoid the German arrogance of appropriatint God as our tribal deity, but we may in all humility say that God has not permitted guns and legions ant high explosives to take out of His hands the control of history
 Germany impersonated the brute in man. She boldly affirmed tha might is right, that a nation mus be actuated by the twill to power. For the first time in Christian his tory, nation dared to deny the primary postulate of Christianity.
 And others were getting some thing of the same idea, too.
 But it is now proved that mar cannot be brute and be strong The law of Christ is true, and non. can be immune from its operations Germany thought she could be i'm mune.

Special correspondence from Wash ington says the people of the Ma tional capital have accepted at its face and without reservation the req sons set forth in the letter of Sec retary of the Treasury William G McAdoo for his resignation.
 McAdoo's Letter
 Secretary McAdoo's letter, though not made public until last week, was lated November IA, and was as fol lows:
 Dear Mir. President:
 Now that an armistice has been 'igned and peace is assured, I feel at liberty to advise you of my desire o return, as soon as possible, to private life.
 "I have been conscious for some ime of the necessity for this step hut, of course. I could not consider while the country was at war.
 "For almost six years I have work d necessarily under the pressure ol ~reat responsibilities. Their exac ions have drawn heavy on. my trength. The inadequate compensa ion allowed by law to cabinet off CTS Gas you know I receive no com ,ensation as director-general of rail 'oads) and the very burdensome cost f living in Washington have so de )leted my personal resources that nm obliged to reckon with the facts If the situation.
 'I do not wish to convey the i'm pression that there is any actual impairment of my health, because 'uch is not the fact. As the result If long overwork, I need a reasonable period of genuine rest to replenisf ny energy. But more than this, must, for the sake of my family get back to private life to retrieve my personal fortune.
 "T cannot secure the required rest nor the opportunity to look after my long neglected private affairs unless am relieved of my present respon abilities.

materialism, of faith and justice and
 honesty of purpose over brutality and
 physical force, as the highest thought
 of the world has dreamed of, but
 despaired of, through struggling ages
 That has been the marvel, the glory
 of this war. Men can never wor
 ship again that false god who Is
 ever on the side of the heaviest ar tillery. The twill to power has
 crumbled before the will to right.
 The whole meaning of the war is
 missed by any one who supposes that we-the American people or our Allies-were the Lords anointed the favorites of Heaven-and that therefore, God has given us the vic tory, at the terrible price Germany has paid and will have to pay. No; Germany made war against God; and thank God we were on Gods side In the Prussian system, with its substitution of might for right, its unbelievable inhumanity and cruelty Unbelievable but for Germany's own official utterances and orders)-with its absence of all fine and high feel ings, it's unhesitating and all-per vasive treachery, it's moral blight up on all that it touches in the earth in this system, with its complete defiance of the will and law of God it's open assualt upon all that is holy and Christ-like among men, we see the realization of the visions of St. John, of the Beast from the pit and the great all-devouring Dragon of the Apocalypse - These shall make war against the lamb chosen and faithful"
 The war was war against the lamb of God and His eternal law and that's why we happen to have been given the victaory.
 No. God knows our nation, ant the other nations. are far from be | ing angels It was not case ol God being on our side. But because there were enough people (just enough perhaps) in America ant elsewhere who saw the spiritual sig nificance of the war to swing these 1 countries over to the side of God as opposed to Ppussianism anywhere and everywhere-the same ones wht are opposed to Prussianism in Amer ica, too, in any form, and have sworn to God to help set up Christ's | kingdom in its fitness until all mer acknowledge His rule.
 So we are given share in Gods | victory
 What, then, is the duty of tht | Church at this hour? It is to pro | claim again. as the Church has beer 1oing all along, that the God il whom Christians believe is one who
 loves righteousness, and who hates and punishes sin. Men might as wei understand that. The war has taugh that. It is the stern condemnation of Germany's deeds by the mora judgment of God. and the mora judgment of the world, which ha'
 brought that criminal nation at las
 to submission and, we trust, to real l iZatiOn and repentance.
 And the Church today has {

 Jesus Christ as She has not hat

 sus lives, that He is reigning now and that He alone can save.

 men until they repent and return tt righteousness.
 Before the war many had allowed
 the fact of Christ's judgment to fal

 Without the great truth of the Judgment, Gods presence and His law become unreal to us. Jesus reigns. and will judge.
 With nations, so with individuals the fact of an unacceptable, inex tation in the universe. There is no caprice about moral rights. Yor cant hoOdwink the forces which fulfil events. By no clever trick cry can profligacy or low living come into possession of the beatitudes.' 7 If the life is unplumb, if the deeds and policies of it swing away from a line of rectitude, nothing can save the structure from collapse-except rebuilding in conformity with the moral laws of gravitation.
 William James: "You may not count the wrong deed this time; but it is being counted-down among the nerve-cells and flores and thought centers, registering it against you when the next temptation comes Apparant success" and seeming "ef ficiency" that brings coveted Ire suits" are poor substitutes for a rightly-fashioned life. "The world with its crasser judgments may ap prove the men who seem to hit the desired goals, , but the triumph is dearly bought if it has been won by the sacrifice of the growth of the soul" He who breaks the moral law of God, pays:
 Only right is might. If man practice fraud, dishonesty, or deceit, he ruins himself If he do injustice to the least of Gods creatures, he curses himself If he do injustice to the least of Gods creatures, he curses himself If he gives way to lust he damns himself If he trust in lies or craft, he links himself to or exhorbitance. he makes a cove nant with death. Cheating and de ceit, avoiding ones obligations, re sorting to ones own ways to accom- plish ones desires, conforming to the worlds standards supposing that is the only way to get along, round about or underhanded attempts to get out of what we ought to do, re- fusal to find out all the facts in any certain matter, may seem to succeed for awhile> But the lpw of the Kingdom declares that all these ap- pearances of successful and profit. able evil are only phantoms of a passing day. It declares, let the world appear as it may, sin cannot be successful, wrong cannot be prof itable. lies cannot be good, deceit cannot succeed. It proclaims that God is King here, too; that sin is accursed in this world, as in all worlds. It proclaims on earth the everlasting law by which the heav. ems stand-that sin is ruin, that wrong is death, that lies are de struction-for any man pr woman community (Juneau as we'll as Der lin). nation (America as we'll as Germany)
 Right alone is might. Jesus reigns and jdugcs-and Is coming again to judge the world according to His law of right. Come. join His army.

LOYAL ' &HE9RGFA n S,,p

ATLANTA. April 24.-No better
evidence of the patriotic loyalty of
the people of Georgia has yet been
developed than the splendid manner
in which they have reported to the
headquarters of the food administra-
ton for Georgia, located here, the eX,
dess quantities of wheat flour which
they have on hand.
A short time ago the federal food adj
ministraton for Georgia, DR.. "A. NJ.
Soule. acting on instructions from
Washington, issued a notice requir-
ing all dealers in food supplies, and
requiring all possible heads of fami
lies to report to the food administra-
ton in Atlanta not later than April
20 the quantity of flour which they
had on hand in excess of the thirty
day supply permitted by law, this sup
ply being based upon the allowance
of six pounds of flour per person per
month.
OF course the food dealers all re-
ported at once. as was expected. but
the response from individuals came
so promptly, and in such overwhelm.
ing volume, that the food administra'
ton was literally swamped with let
tres. These reports do not show nee
cessarily, that the People are hOrding
large quantities of flour. They show
that the very people holding the excess
port the san!o. instead of cOncealing
1t and hiding it out.
The clerical force in the food ad
ministration office was not able tC
handle all the letters, and large
number of patriotic Atlanta women
volunteered their services. which were
gratefully accepted by Major D. F
McClatchey, the executive secretary
of the food administration

How TO Avoid Those Pains and Distress
Which SO Many Mothers Have Suffered.

Too much cannot be said for a wonderful
preparation, familiar to many women as
Mothers Friend.
1t is more effective in its action than all
the health rules ever laid down for the
guidance of expectant mothers. 1t is an
external application that spreads its influence
upon the cords, tendons and muscles of the
abdomen, rendering them plant, and they
expand gracefully without that peculiar
wrenching strain.
The occasion is, therefore, one of un-
bounded joyful anticipation and too much
stress cannot be laid upon the remarkable
influence which a mothers happy prenatal
disposition has upon the health and fortunes
OF the generations to come.
The pain at the crisis is infinitely less
when Mothers Friend is used during the
period of expectancy for the muscles ex-
pand easier and with less strain when baby
is born.
Mothers Friend is for external use only,
is entirely safe and may be had of your
