MOSCOW MINISTERS PREACH

I is worth while The trouble is men
are leaving Jesus the Christ out Of
their lives, and one who tries to lift
/ themselves out Of the ways of sin
without Jesus is wasting his time, for
a soul severed and apart from Jesus
can do nothing, in. 1916. We place
much stress on culture and training,
but the word says, 'The world by wis
dom knew not God" Germany put
much stress on her learning and cul-
ture, but when put to the test her
civilization crumbled to dust beneath
the heels of lust and murder. Sin is
here and sin is universal fact, and
with all our civilization, with all our
learning, with all our wealth, the
world seemingly is not looking to the
Great burden bearer, or the one who
came. to bear away the sin of the
world, not that men have not the light
but that men refuse to walk in the
light, it being foolishness to the world.

ENGLAND'S GERMAN KINGS.

Salzmann, a German military writ
err, is reported as comparing Ger
manys position now in relation to
England as similar to the United
States during the Revolutionary War,
and warns her that Ypres will be an
other Saratoga. Salzmann must be a
poor student of American and Eng
lish history or he would know that
during the Revolutionary period of
our country England was cursed with
four Kings, two of whom were Ger
man-born and the other two, while
horn in England, were as arrogant
and German as their fathers. Two
or three of these men were not only
anti- British but they were lunatics.
The great masses of the people of
England were in sympathy with the
American colonists so much so that
the King, of German extraction,
couldn't get them to fight their cous-
ms on this side. so he hired Hessians.
Had there been a simon-pure English
King on the throne no such differ
en.es would ever have arisen,
ENGLAND has always been the home
of liberty, where the downtrodden
from tyYanny-ridden Europe fed and
whose sreat desire for. freedom cul-
minated in Magma Charta, and our
Declaration of independence was only
the signing of a greater charter on
new soil Our country was as truly
fighting Germans and German ideas
in those colonial days as today
England has not received the great
credit which is her right in this war.
She has been abused as doing little,
bu. Germany knows what she has &C
compiished and is accomplishing, and
the emperor would give his other
arm and anything else England want
ed il she would side-step the war at
this time.
All the German propaganda is born
of arrogant pride. lies and impotent
rage; her whole history is one of
subterfuge and plumber It is Won
der that Austria does not remember
how her good but helpless Queen
Maria Theresa was despoiled of Sile-
STA by the man who became Frede-
rick the Great, although he had sign
ed a compact with the other sur
rounding nations that he would leave
the Queen secure in her possessions.
