After reading Dr. Wilson's sermon
we are inclined to agree with him in
the sentiment that Christianity is not
following soft sentimentalist, but a
manly hero born, martyr bred, lifetime
fighter, who died the death Of the
cross, but never yielded an inch. And
Christian citizens being OF a fighting
breed will back this government in its
war on Germany to the last man, to
the last brain, to the last dollar and
to the last drop of blood"

position in this country.
But this is not altogether to the
point at issue. 1t is no reflection upon
a person that one comes from an old
or distinguished family; it is, indeed,
an honor of which any individual has
a right to feel proud. But in bearing
the weight of such honors, it is well
to remember that every honor carries
with it equal responsibility, and one
who fails to shoulder ones own re
sponsibility, is, indeed, a failure. 1t
is, in our opinion, far better that one
come of obscure parentage and die
with genius undiscovered than that the
son of distinguished, eminent or in
fiuential parents should fall to attain
new distinction as result of individ
ual efforts.

SPEEDING AGAIN.

The Times-Recorder makes no effort
to set itself up as community monitor,
but in view of recent occurrences, we
do feel called upon to direct attention
to the dangerous crossing at Lee and
Church streets and to sound note
of warning against speeding in that
locality. Within recent months no
less than three accidents have occur
red at the junction of these two
thoroughfares, and it is only through
grace of fortunate circumstances that
no serious injuries have yet been
chronicled as result of these mis-
haps
Going south on Lee street there is
great temptation for the automobilist
to put the gas to 'er" as the machine
glides down the hill after leaving the
we'll, and the car coming out of
Church street into Lee, turning north
is quite apt to increase speed little
in order to get over the hill easily.
These are the elements that make the
crossing there one of the most danger
Gus in the city, and this paper feels
in duty bound to call the attention of
the proper authorities to this condition
of affairs
Let all cncerned give this situation
careful thought, and by observing
strictly the rules Of the road and the
speeding ordinance, future accidents
there, as well as elsewhere, will be
avoided. And those who either do not
or will not, observe these laws, should
be looked after by the police authori
ties

METHODISM IN WAR.

Few of the religious organizations Of
this country have declared their atti
tude toward the war any more clearly
than has the Methodist Episcopal
church, which, while standing solidly
for righteous peace in a world safe
for civilization, is backing the war
against PFussianism with all of its
millions Of members and MONEY and
property. DR. Clarence True WILSON,
an eminent Methodist preacher, dis
cussing the war in the Metropolitan
Methodist church, in New York, re
Gently, declared that "The MethodistS
are not going to forget their Bible or
repudiate their peace principles, or
sidetrack their religion, but because
of these they are willing to fight y
Methodists are willing to fight, DR..
Wilson said, because they believe the
words of the Master when He said:
''He that taketh the sword shall perish
by the sword" -
, Blessed are the peace makers, says
one of the Beatitudes, and according to
/ DIR. Wilson, the role of peacemaker is
that assumed by this country. And in
this position he is eminently correct.
:, For three years, the government of
the United States standing afar off and
observing with growing horror the
I unspeakable atrocities of the war in
Europe refrained from accepting the
abitrament of the sword. Attacked
by the sneaking sea scorpions of the
Hun naval assassins, this govern
ment used every endeavor to avoid wal
but forced at last to take up the
sword in the defense of civilization, il
has been determined, and rightly, tt
continue until the task IN hand is
duly accomplished, and world peace
for future generations is insured.
To be sure, it is not becoming in &

beliigerent attitude, but it is refresl

vanced by Dr. Wilson in furtheranc'
