for the New Age"
The text was taken from the leyenth
chapter of Hebrews and the first
verse, Nov faith is the substance of
things hoped for the evidence of

are not synonymous. Trust gives
while afith takes. Too often we stun.
BILE over the simplicity of afith. In
this new age men will come to see
that afith is simply taking God at his
word. Faith is always based on the
promise OF God and Gods promises
are as immutable as the eternal
throne
Mr. Mahood discussed the matter
OF faith healing. He said that God
heals in answer to the prayer of faith

A THEORY MADE m BERLIN.

Mi. Yownley's candidate for governor Of Minnesota Mr.. Lind
berg, like his selection for chief speaker at his first big meeting,
Senator LaFoHette, has a theory Of his own about how we got in
to this war, whicfhe has developed in a book. a 5A
His theoryls that We got into this war because the big inter
ests" intrigued to- compel Germany to injure us il self-defense, so
that we couldbe forced to enter the war to collect their profits
from the Allies.
This is the theory which German agents, directed from Berlin
and paid from Berlin, industriously circulated early in the war.
Now here is the logic Of that theory: If it is true that we are
not ~fghtfngsto make the worlnsa 0 sdennocracy that We arenot
fighting for the rights Of small nations. that we are not fighting
to rid the world Of the military autocracy that menaces its liberties
as it has shattered it's peace, but that we are fighting to pull Wall
rySis correct, isanot every Stacker, every deserter, every sedition-
list, every traitor a better patriot than those who submit tanely
to the exactons of such a war?
If Mr.Lindberg,s theory is correct, then the warts wrong and
is not entitledste the support Of any true citizen. Resistance to
the draft t ig right EefusalLs TO volunteer is right; refusal e. buy
right. ..#r SE.
But MI. L indberg's theory Is NOT correct. AS a theory it was
made in Berlin, and most of those who circulate it are paid by
Berlin. Nh. Lindberg is not paid by Berlin. Maybe he is honest
in holding this theory. But g. man who holds q theory so abhor-
rent to every American heart 50 subversive of the nations war
efforts, SO s%landerots to- the presfdent.and congress and the PEG:
pie Of America, certainly has no right to claim the vote Of any
American. Many a man is in an internment camp pr a Federal
prison for far less than the publication of such a monstrous theory
as this.
Where is the difference between the Townley candidate for gov

agt. who has been caught in the act Of intriguing to defeat the gov
