Lord"
And nations have a corporate being
the same as individuals. II they per-
petuate their misdeeds and maraud-
ings from generation to generation,
are they not fit subjects of wrath? Is
Germany different from Amalek?
Has she not rested on the borders
of the nations, and enriched herself
and intrenched her might ever since
Frederick's day at the expense, the
poverty, and woe of others? Has she
not been lying siren, brutal burglar,
Gespoiler of the helpless, and scientific
pickpocket all in one?
And furthermore, as with Saul and
Israel, there were to be no plunderers
and no plumber, so with our Christian
America. We want no loot, no plum
der, no indemnity. We only want peace
on earth, and a square deal to all men.
Gods other prerogative is that of
being the purpose maker for human
ity. Newman put it all into his mag
nificent hymn, LEAD kindly light,
lead thou me on; keep thou my feet; I
do not ask to see the distant scene
one step enough for me-" God is the
supreme purpose maker, and people
and nations are blest in becoming his
purpose makers.
Those purposes of God must and will
come into actually, and il were bet
ter that non of us, whether individ-
uals or nations, put ourselves in the
way Of his plans working to their COM
pletion. It's all the same whether it
be Balaam or the kaiser, Amalek or
Germany. And sometimes the only
way to clear the road Of barricades
set up against the divine progress OF
earth is by war. Israel had a great
divine purpose in mind, and a mission
to work out for the world. They were
not by inclination or nature warriors
Amalek had no purpose; she was only
predatory and militaristic.
And some how the universe fire,
all its shafts Of malediction and wratf
at the thing that is ~purposeless anC
useless.

Statement.
The Liberty Loan organization
of Galloway county feels obliged
to give publicity to the fact
that ]. A. Padgett of New
Bloomfield, has failed to do his
duty to the Government in the
drive for the sale of the Fourth
bond issue.
The organization is further
prompted in this action from the
fact that Mr.. Padgett's attitude
toward the Governments war
policies all along has been sntag-
onistic and unpatriotic. Besides
denying financial aid, he has in
terrupted loyalty meetings and
is understood to have improperly
criticized the efforts of those
who are helping to make this
world a decent place to live in.
We regret to note that any
should occasion such action as
this on the part Of this commit
tee, but we feel that the public
is entitled to know who is help
ing America and Allies win this
war.
