Fred Meyy1ApQu Is Freed
Of Charge Of Disloyalfy
JUDGE DAYTON STlHS
UP LOCAL PATRIOTISM

Hefo' = one OF the largest audiences
that has been at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church in many days. Judge
Aston G. Dayton. OF Philippi, who Is
presiding at the present term OF Fed
eral Court in this city, Sunday night
delivered powerful talk on the pres
emit situation in Europe. For an hour
this brilliant jur!st spoke of the great
responsibility OF the American peo-
pie. acting as the chosen instruments
OF God to bring about the overthrow
of the forces of evil as represented in
the Hohenzolleu autocratic militar-
ism, and re-establieli Christianity and
the democracy of mankind on this
globe. Judge Dayton said this is the
hour OF destiny for the American peo-
pie. undoubtedly the Almighty had es-
tablished this nation, so we'll protect
ed by natural barriers from foreign
inyason; nutured 1t through the many
vieissitudes of national existence I'M
til the time came when He should
call upon us in trumpet tones to go
forth and battle for Him, and redeem
the world The time arrived and the
United States responded. He gave a
succinct sketch OF the gradual eyo.
luton of the bloody and brutal Hun
and Vandal from the time of Atilla
and Geneseric, who similarly overran
Europe and enslayed Northern Afri-
ca until Geneserie's portobpye, the
kaiser, now seeks to overrun and
dominate the world. He alluded to
the pernisious doctrine of Nietsche,
the German philosopher, who discred-
tied Christianity and declared Vt the
greatest crime OF civilization, that
has permeated Prussianism and the
Germans, and emphasized the great
responsibility of Christian nations to
bring back the misled German after
he has been defeated in his barber
GUS purposes back TO the religion Of
Luther and endeayor to guide their
steps in the paths outlined by the
Saviour OF Mankind who taught that
II was better to die fof your fellow
man than TO seek 10 enslaye him. The
judges address was thrilling and de-
livered in his particular impressive
manner. He paid an eloquent tribute
to the American soldier and sailor,
their fearlessness and unquestionable
bravery and in CONCLUSION urged his
hearers TO show their support and
by promptly subscribing
to the forthcoming Liberty Loan. The
learned treatise on his subject GREAT
