The Old Lady laughed. Yes.

my knowing how my children think
I'm not old enough to be out slone.
But Mary. stopped to listen to the

there-white of face he was. and his
cheek was twitching like my Johns
used to when something was worry
ing him. I got brother over there.
"a d he. as was blown to pieces day
before yesterday And say, l can't
wait to get there. Gee. but want
to get there quick. You know we
just gotta get Willie!'
And. Mary" said the Old Lady.
what that boy said is true for every
man and woman in this country! We
just gotta get Willie! Whether we
! get him by buying bonds or planting
| potaters or by flying or shooting or
knitting. we got to get Willie! It's
a personal matter now with every
living soul of us: and I've always
noticed that when a fights a personal
one. there's likely to be more black
eyes handed around than when the

Time was. in this country. when the

other great big saster that makes
everybody shake their heads and say
amt it awful and why don't they
stop II. But that times past. Now
we're all like that poor boy that knew
his brother had been killed. Maybe
the telegram from Washington hasn't
got 20 US al yet. but anyway it's our

The Old Lady looked off into space
for a minute. then laughed again.

Deacon was the only man in the

black and white cattle. and mighty
proud he was of 'em. Well, when he
said that about lockin' up his COWS.
John laughed right out loud. 'Sho.
Deacon says he, 4 though, you'd be

FALSE PEACE

This present time is the time
OF which it is said: ''They shall
cry, Peace, Peace! but there is
no peace" There will probably
be little spell of peace now, but.
1t will be false peace. It WILDE
built upon a false foundation,
and every pillar under it will be
a poWder-keg.
And [ tell you that as long as
the world tries to maintain an
armed peace" it will have no
peace at all. And the whole
tendency is toward greater arm
ament instead of smaller ones.
Inc United States is now to have
a navy second to none in the
world" It don't require any
Bible knowledge nor any pro-
phetlc eye to foresee the newt
able end of it all-the utter col
lapse of. the whole rotten fabric
ana the setting up Of an entirely
o:l1ferent order. The soon-com-
ing OF Christ tot set up His
righteous government on earth
is tn the only hope for this world.
1hls peace is only the calm be-
1ore another storm. Don't fool

THE PEACE CONFERENCE

President Wilson is in France
to attend the peace conference
and to lend his aid in an effort
to establish universal and ever
lasting peace. The undertaking
is a commendable one, and from
a human standpoint it may look
like it has a chance to succeed.
But to anyone who looks deeper
than the surface-to anyone who
knows that men in their own
strength cannot give lasting
peace to the world-the propos-
ed undertaking seems almost
pitiful in it's hopelessness.
In spite of all the boasted
claims about what good Christ
ian" nations we are, there has
been nothing said about giving
God a seat at the peace table.
The only Power that CAN es-
tablish permanent peace will be
absolutely ignored. The devil
will be, well represented by the
Pope or his agents, but God will
not be in it. The prophecies Of
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Micah,
Nahum, Habakkuk, and Revela-
ton, will not be read nor con-
sidered in connection with the
peace settlement. 1t is a safe
bet that no nation will have on
hand a delegate who believes IN
the Bible prophecies or has any
thought of their literal fulfill
ment in our day.
Having, therefore, no correct
key to the situation, the best
they can do is to make a mess of
it. We will have to wait just q
little while longer, until mans
puny efforts go to smash one
more time, and then the Prince
of Peace will come and fix ii
right. It is worth waiting for

stake on down for the faith that
was in them? Was THEIR per-
secution proof of their guilt?
No, we are willing to concede
now that those old-timers were
good men and that they didn't
deserve such treatment. But
we are too cross-eyed to see that
the very same class Of sufferers
in our own day are also good
men and not deserving of such
abuse.
Our text is the language of
Jesus himself, and he is talking
to his true followers and tell
ing them how they, must expect
to be treated If they try to re-
main true to him. He tells them
to regard such persecution as a
sure sign that they are right,
and he tells them to rejoice in it,
for great will be their reward.
He points out that the good old
prophets were prosecuted in the
same way, and shows that such
persecution is an honor rather
than a dishonor in the sight of
God.
Now tell me this: How many
prominent orthodox preachers
can you find who are in jail for
their faith today? How many
Baptists? How many. Metho-
dists How many Presbyter=.
ians And SO on. Count EN-
up. How many Of such people
| are having all manner of evil
spoken against them falsely on
account of their faith? How
many? You may find one, but T
doubt it.
Well, then, let's sorter keep
the evidence in view as we go
along and see what it proves. If
these big orthodox people of the
leading denominations are not
being prosecuted any-if they
are having a good easy time and
no trouble at all-then it looks
| to me like they are MISSING
|some mighty good evidence that
| they are the true followers of
Christ. Looks like they would
try to do something to get a lit
! tie persecution anyhow, just fol
/ the looks of it if nothing else.
4 i am not taking sides with
anybody nor against anybody:
] but I tell you, according to the
testimony Of Jesus Christ him,
self, these poor old 'sheretics'
] who are having such a hare
time O. it-being put in Jail, lice
about, slandered and abused =.
! say they are getting the very
! STRONGEST evidence that they
i ARE the true followers o.
Christ and on the right track.

CAN HE COME BACK?1

It has been a very common
thing to speak of the Ex-Kaiser
Bill as ''The Beast" He was put
into a moving picture called
The Beast of Berlin" He was
put into a novel called 'sThe
Blonde Beast" He has been
everywhere tried, condemned,
and burnt in effgy for the crime
OF lmpersonating a human being.
And all nations have with COM
mon consent referred to him as
The Beast. And so far as I
know he is the first and only
character in history to be so
commonly spoken of as a
Beast"
Truly his conduct has been
such as to give ample room for
doubling whether he is a human
being. He cut a wide and bloody
swath while he was at it, but.sto
look at him now it don't seem
possible that he could ever come
back. IF he is just a human be-
ing, Of course his career as a
leader of men is about done. But
if it were to be true that he is
the "Beast" we read of in Reve-
lation 13, he may get help from
the devil and manage to Wheedle
his way into power again. You
fwiff notice that the Beast III That
chapter got a deadly wound with
the sword, and his deadly wound
was healed. Maybe that could
refer to the crushing defeat
which the Kaiser has just suf-
fered, for surely it is a deadly
wound with the sword. The
question is can it be healed? Is
there any way for Bill to muste1
his forces and recover his power
after such a defeat? There is
only one chance for him super
natural power from the devil
and he may get it. Notice that
"the dragon gave him his power
and his seat, and great authori-
ty."
Some great devil-posessed be.
ing is to get control Of Europe

A SERMON ON PERSECU-
TION
Text:

Cursed are We when men shall revile
you, and persecute you, and shall say
all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake. Tremble, and be exceed |
ing scared, for great is your punish
ment in hell; for men didn't persecute
the prophets that way.-Matt. 5:11-12.
With the above scripture as a
text want to preach you little
sermon on Persecution. To be-
sure that I got it right, let's go |
back and read the text again. I
Do you see anything wrong with |
it? Seems to me it don't sound
exactly right. What do you
think about it? I believe it
would sound better this way:
Blessed are we when men shall re-
vile you, and persecute you, and shall
say all manner of evil against you
you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad for great is
your reward in heaven; for so perse-
cuted they the prophets which were
before you.-Matt. 5:11-12.
/ Yes, that's better. I thought
/ could get it fixed after awhile.
Now we can go on with our SER
mon. I just tangled it up and
made it read different in order
to show you how ridiculous it
would sound that Way..
And yet, TO look at the attitude
of the world and the orthodox
church toward prosecuted peo-
pie, it seems that they all think
it reads like I first had it. They
think if you believe and teach
anything different from what
they have always been used to,
you are teaching dangerous
heresy, and they think if you.
get prosecuted and put in prison
you are only getting what you
deserve for being such a bad per-
| son. They think the mere fact
of mans being in prison is ab-
solute proof Of his guilt.
Now I don't deny that per-
haps a majority Of men who go
to Jail for various crimes deserve
to 60 there. But I do contend
that liberty of conscience ought
mot to be a crime in this boasted
land Of the free.
! But it is.

NEW YORK, Jan. II. - While
New York is facing a fuel famine
which threatens to close not only
theaters. cabarets and restaurants,
but munitions factories as well, ship

are being made in amounts equiva-
lent to last years tonnage. with a
percentage for increased production,
according to a telegram sent Thurs
day night to Federal Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield by a. II. Wiggin, ad-
ministrator of New York state.
We are not informed that the
situation in Canada is as desperate
as it is here" said Mr.. Virgins mes
sage. while we have great sympa-
thy with our Canadian neighbors,
we do not think New York should
be Disseminated against. If ship
ments to Canada could be curtailed
it would greatly relieve the situa-
ton here"
The county administrator said
that two hospitals in the city had
only II hours supply of coal on
hand.
The holding up OF shipments re-
mains serious. Only six ocean-go-
ing vessels were supplied with bunk
er coal Wednesday as compared
with "a Tuesday and 80 Monday.
