ment OF autocracy and the enthrone-

reaches the coast Of America, then no

We must fight Germany in Europe.

here.
We entered the war to pay our
debt TO England. who thrust her armies
between the French and German lines
and saved France by stopping the on
ward march of the Huns" Here DR..
Gibson paused to tell an incident. One
of the aids Of General Grant. during
the War Between the State attempt
ed to throw General Sheridan from
his horse. The next morning he was
taken out 1T sunrise and shot. In COM
parison with our laXity. a short time
ago. he said that n small group in
Chicago applauded the military vic
tories OF Germany, and that govern
mcnt said, You must not do that"
That was all America entered the
war only after her patience was ut
terN exhausted.
We entered the war also" he con-
tinucd. TO pay back our debt TO
France, who assisted us in eXpelling
the enemy from our country in 1881
and saving us from becoming a terri
torial possession. and instead made it
possible for us to rise to the great and
powerful free nation that we are to-
day.
The man who is not willing to give
his life for the sanctity of woman
hood is not man. Although l be-
lievc that God had nothing to do with
bringing on the war, He permitted il
to come. and ii is on, and peace cam
not be made until restitution has been
made by Germany that will be salts

sacred place this morning let US re-
new our allegiance to the cause for
which our boys are fighting, and
pledge ourselves to stand until the
last for our sacred principles. Let us
say TO Germany, You will not cruelty
babies. YOU will not violate the sane
tity Of womanhood. you will not mutt
late the bodies of old men and chill
dren. YOU Will not transfix mankind

After reviewing the historical facts
connected with the beginning of the
war in order to refresh the memory of
the congregation, Rev. Findlay +. Glib
son, - d.. pastor of Grace Street Bap-
t'st church, in his first war sermon
yesterday morning. pointed out the sa
cred causes of the entrance of the al
nes INTO the world struggle. The SUBJ
1ect OF his sermon was The Right
eousness of the Allies Cause"
Christ Himself, he said. was an op-
pohent of autocracy and an exponent
OF democracy, and lie died for liberty
ana freedom of mankind. and, he
added, we must fight Germany. in Eu-
rope with all our strength. unless we
would have her enter America and
fight upon American soil. If not. our
plight Will be worse than that of Bel
gum, and the peasants OF Russia will
seem like kings and lords and princes
10 the state that we will he brought to.
II was due to the chivalry of Amer
ica and her sense of humanity and JUS
tee that led us into the. struggle
against the Hun. and DR.. Gibson ques-
toned in his mind whether God would
ever forgive the kaiscr's violations of
Belgium and French womanhood such
as have come 10 our ears.

Scrupulously sinking ships with Amer

the American government.
During these times. DIR. Gibson said
on both sides Of the face. and her re-
Spouse seemed to he TO each attack
of Germany: You didn't mean to do
it, did you?" and with the reply of
Germany, why. no. the other check
was struck with the mailed fist by the
commission of 4 new outrage. He re-
fcrrcd to the passage of Scriptures:
but whosocvcr shall smite
thee on thy right check, turn to him
the other also" and in this connection
said that Germany had struck one blow
too many and orc blow too hard. Con-
tinuing, DIR. Gibson asked:
What are the things for which we

The United States had to go into the
war, unless we were blind to the safety
and honor and future happiness of the
whole world.

THE
the ages, have carved out dwellings,
churches, inns, and all sorts of struc-
lures, and it is not at all uncommon
to see beautifully carved stone front
apparently plastered up against the
side of the cliff when in reality it is
the front Of some residence. At Lar
goiran about half way to Cadillac,
an old feudal castle is situated right
on the brow of the cliff. 1t flourished
in the time Of Henry Nv and is now
in ruins of, course, but picturesque
nevertheless. l took picture Of it
and shall perhaps send a print home
to you soon. The site is just exactly
where a feudal castle should be To-
cated-high above the valley, and on
bend where a sweep of the river
can be seen in both directions. Those
old feudal lords used to flock alone
pretty much and were about as
friendly with their neighboring lords
as pair Of strange bull dogs. Ac-
cordingly, the prevailing theme in all
of their structures was protection,
and comfortable little corners from
which they could drop red-hot bricks,
poisoned arrows, and such love tok,
ems, were spotted about at every an
gle-from which to dispense hospi-
tality to visiting neighbors.
