POINTER CLUB CALLS
OFF field TRIALS.
Board Of Governors Take
This Action Because of
Local Conditions
TO SUPPORT MEETS
OF NEARBY CLUBS

The Board OF Governors Of the Della
ware Setter and Pointer Club have de-
cided TO suspend for this year the an
nual field trials and the following ex-
planatory letter has been sent to MEM
bers
lowing to the apathy existing In
every community toward any form OF
non-essential endeavor, especially in
our section where every man Is either
engaged in munition manufacture or
shipbuildlng, the Delaware Setter and
Pointer Club decided at a meeting OF
the Board OF Governors, held on Octo-
Der ia that the annual field trial would
be suspended, and the members urged
TO support with their presence and en-
tries the trials Of neighboring clubs.
"This action Is taken with regret,
and Is not to be construed as condemn
ing the practice OF holding field trials
during the existence OF war, for each
sportsman at home should redouble his
orts TO keep up the high standards
OF sport existent in the lovers OF the
hunting dog. especially since so many
OF the fraternity are at the front.
Local conditions are such, however,
that the Board thought IL would bene-
ut the clubs generally to concentrate
on few trials rather than scatter our
energies over a lumber Of local meets"

Swedenborg on the German
BY THE REV. GEORGE HENRY DOLE

BY THE REV. GEORGE HENRY DOLE.
What Swedenborg. one hundred for
ty-seven years ago wrote in his true
Christian religion about the Germans
is so true today. and so clearly elu-
cidates the reason for their not under
standing the character and minds of
other spiritually and morally progress
i've nations. that 1t may be Of universal
interest, and show how this great war,
by the defeat OF Germany herself, Will
bring a blessing 10 Germany even great
er than to any OF the Allies. At the
same time, In this hour Of intense ag-
gravaGion, 1t may help us to look with
more compassion upon the worlds
greatest organized enemy.
Swedenborg says, THE Germans In
each particular dukedom live under a
despotic government. They do not en-
JOY the liberty Of speaking and writing
like the Dutch and English; and where
the liberty OF speaking and writing Is
restrained, the liberty of thinking, that
Is, of taking an enlarged view OF things,
Is under restraint For this case is
like that Of basin OF a fountain, whose
sides are so high that the water therein
Is elevated above the salient OF the
stream so that II no longer forms a
set. Thought is like the salient stream.
and speech proceeding thence is like
the basin. Influx Is always according

to efflux, and so the understanding
from the superior region Of the mind
is In proportion to the measure Of lib
erty allowed for uttering and giving
vent to the thoughts. Hence it is that
this noble nation pays but little at
tention TO matters Of judgment, but
much to studies that exercise the mem
DRY only. Their state is represented
in the spiritual world by a person car
rying books under his arms. who when
asked an opinion, says he will give an
opinion Immediately, and then opens
one OF the books, and begins to read.
1.-The German clergy, in the course
OF their education. write down the pre-
cepts delivered by their masters, and
these constitute their erudition, and
these are taught in their schools and
colleges"
Through the continuance OF the old
system Of impressing the false precepts
OF despotic masters and the suppress
sion Of individual thinking, Germany
has become what she is today Through
the mental freedom that will come TO
Germany she will receive the greatest
blessing Of all by her own defeat.
