N UNDELIVER ED SERMON


| shining coat Of arms that dreadeth the
! civilized world Now her adversaries
! do mock at her desolation
For Berlin hath grievously sinned
! against the civilized world. Her
mighty Prusslan Guards, the pride Of
the people, do stand disgraced before
| the altar Of public 0. inion. for Ike
/ rapacious murderers they did kill I'M
! armed civilians, and in1iccnt babes
| and stockings they did tear from the
/ breasts of their mothers.
Our hobored crown is thus covered
| with filth; therefore II IS become as an
unclean thing Because Of the filth
| that covereth cur head our peace over
! lures are spurned at; we must cleanse
! ourselves of our leprosy. cast off our
blood stained crown from. our wicked
| head. Only thus, say our enemies, will
Berlin's sincerity be tested.
Behold, America, too, at whom we
| did mock, hath spread out her hands;
! General Pershng with his mighty le-
! gions is demolshirg our stroneholds
| before our very eyes, | am become
ahject.
Behold, and see if there be any sor-
| row like unto my sorrow which is
! brought upon me. From on high my
RAIDS Of airplanes hath sent fire into
our bones; they do destroy my ba
v;.s.ans
! Behold. the Lord who was mine and
at my command hath delivered me into
| their hands against whom | am not
| able to stand The allies are knit to-
| gether, they a come up upon my
neck. They have c; lied a solemn as
| sembly at Versailles against me, to
crush me because Of my sins All my
! mighty men are Sc at nought.
! Austria my comforter that should
| refresh my soul is far from me; is be-
| come al ject and breken; the miserable
! Turk, damned be he, is trodden down
| like a dog by the British ana Judeans.
Behold, l am in distress! | am des-
| olate because The enemy hath prevail
! ed. Abroad the sword bereaveth, at
home there is as death
For these things / weep, mine eye,
| mine eye runneth down with water
Thus, We men Of the Sixth Group,
and ladies and gentlemen, signs the
master tyrant Of the universe.
Now let us return to the text of our
sermon: X x And the Lord created
the Sixth Group to hold the beast in
check" SO this is, my friends, the
pre- ordained mission of the Sixth
Group. But while there Is no definite
historical data on hand TO substantiate
the assertion, it is clear to all who
have eyes and can see that the mission
of the Sixth Group-(ano it matters
little whether ii was ordained on the
sixth day of Creation or decided in the
year 1917 A. D., by act of congress)-
is one Of a high purpose.

a visit to the historic sanctum on the
slopes of the Wrghtsboro Road, which,
because o its peculiar architecture and
dim waterproof color, bears close re-
semblance to the Ark Of Noah There
the net woven and spread for the
enemy. Conscious of it's mission and
of the place IL is destined to occupy in
battle royal when the last breath Of the
worlds adversary will give out, 1t has
leapel head long into the work In order
that the tyrants end may be FASTENED
And, indeed, with Lieut.-Col H. 0.
Ragsdale in command the fate of the
tyfant is sealed forever. The colonel's
task is made easier by his right hand"
Major S. G. Blanton. second in COM
mand, who has a most pronounced
aversion to anything that bears of
tyranny and beastly nature, especially
VIII surely let no opportunity go by
to deal a death blow to the beast of all
beasts. No less enraged against the
common foe il Captain w. X. Edwards,
the adjutant Rubbing his fingers
against his majestic forehead every
now and then, he is constantly schem-
ing how to concentrate all the forces
of the Sixth Group, wherewith to strike
the blow so hard tEat it strikes terror
into the hearts Of those seated on the
lofty pedestals of Potsdam. In this
scheming, over which many a tear
have been shed in Berlin, Sergeant.
Major r. l., Douglas is an active par
ticipant. He is omniprsent, here, there
and everywhere, casting a keen eye
upon his staff, and the staff be it
said. right here, is equally interested
in the down fall of utocracy SO that
it may never rise again. SO you see,
my friends is not for nought that
George A. VIII, William Muir William
Meyer and Fredeick Schlatter, have
been from buck Pr.vates elevated to
Battalion Sergeant Majors. And who
can tell what American Democracy
still holds in store for them.
Whether, my friends of the Sixth
Group a. | Ladies and Gentlemen, the
names just n cntioned were on the
original roster, created for the pur-
pose of having domain u the beast
cannot at present be ascertained, for
the tablets of this prehistoric docu.
ment have not as Yet been discovered
But the intent and purpose is the same
For, said the Lord, Let us create man
in our image, after our likeness. and
let them have dominion over the
beast"
! thank you.
