THE KAIsER's SERMON.

Either German principles OF right,
freedom, honor mad morality must be
upheld, or Anglo-Saxon principles,
with their idolatry of Mammon, must
be victorious" says the Hohenzollern
kaiser.
The world has had an opportunity
during the last four years to learn
the principles of right, freedom, hon
or and morality preached by the kais-
-er and practiced by the Germans.
The German idea is that might
makes right, that anything is right
which is necessary to extend German
sway over the other peoples of the
earth and win special privileges for
the Germans. 1t has nothing in COM
mon with the morality of the Chris
tian God to whom the kaiser so Of
ten and always sacrilegiously, APP
peals.
II it will help Germany to obtain
her place in the sun it is right to kill
non-combatants, to commit rape and
robbery, to blow up the ships and
factories of neutrals, to slaughter
the wounded-in fact to break any
and all of the ten commandments.
And, strange to say, the men of all
religions in Germany seem to agree
that 1t is right to abrogate the ten
commandments If it will obtain victo-
ry for Germany. Among themselves
they still adhere to the theory of
Christian morality, and perhaps they
practice that morality one toward
thee other, but for all outside tn
fold of the fatherland there is to be
neither mercy nor justice until they
submit to the German despotism.
When Cardinal MERCER called down
the punishment of heaven upon
those who had massacred his priests
and people, who had stolen the treas
ures of his land and burned and rap
ed, some Of his co-religionists in Ger
many cody suggested that he was
un-Chritian because he did not for
give these acts. Thus is the Chris
tian religion perverted by the adher-
ents of all sects in Germany to up
hold every injustice inicted on non
Germans. And that is German right
and morality.
And we are quite as familiar with
German honor. 1t was that honor
which violated Germany's pledged
word to preserve the neutrality of
Belgium. It was that honor which.
through an ambassador, proposed
that the ships of friendly nation
should be sunk without leaving a
trace. 1t was that honor which has
permitted Germans to break every
rule Of International law, to seize or
sink ships which they had specifical-
ly promised to protect, to bomb hos
pitfalls and kill nurses, to poison wells
in West Africa and to fill the world
with spies, many of them prostitutes
and criminals and degenerates Of va
rious descriptions. The men and wo-

LIGHTNING sTUNs PEOPLE
AND KILLS FINE CATTLE

During the storm last Sunday af-
teTnoon Arvilla Sorensen of Ovid
aged Is, was stunned by lightning
which struck near her house. She
was standing in the yard at the time
and the shock threw her to the
ground and rendered her unconscious
for about five minutes. The ground
where the lightning struck looked al
though a German shell had struck
there.
The same afternoon John Boehme
of Geneva, was also badly stunned
by lightning.
During yesterday afternoons storm
lightning killed three cows and two
yearling heifers on the Arthur Bulge
ranch near Paris. The animals were
in the pasture at the time. Two 9th
er cows were so badly stunned tina
t is doubtful If they will recover
from the effects. The animals were
all thoroughbred Holsteins. The two
heifers and one of the cows killed
were prize winners at the Utah state
fair last fall. At that time Mr.. Bulge
refused 500 for the COW. He esti
mates his loss at $4,000 or more
which is covered by insurance to the
amount of only $3.50.
