PETER MACQuEEN At
OPEN FORUM MEETING


had heard Peter MacQueen give a
lecture IN this city some three years
ago. To these the address of Sunday
afternoon given by this noted Jour-
nallst was no surprise though none
the less pleasure. To others it was
surprise for seldom has Gardiner
had the privilege of listening to a
lecture that was given with such a
direct appeal in a general way as
this.
Ihough the meeting was called
for $50 o'clock, long before that hour
every seat in the house t.as taken
ana late Corners were content with
standing. Mic was furnished by
seven piece orchestra led by ". l.
Guild. and DR.. MacQueen was in
troduced by Judge Will C. Atkins.
The subject of the address was THE
War and the Peace and was illus
trated by numerous stereopticon
slides taken by the speaker and 9TH
ers. 1t was principally a description
of these pictures that occupied most
Of the address. Dr. MacQueen told
of the various leaders and of the
sentences they uttered at crucial
times which Will have place in his
tory.
In showing the palace at Potsdan
he said that it was here that the IS
men responsible for the war con-
vened and beside the best of them a
, corkscrew would be the shortest dis
lance between two points. He said
that the war would have been fought
in vain as long as these men re-
manned unpublished. That the SOL
diers had begun a task the hangmen
should end. That the soul and soil
Of Germany had been polluted for 200
years and it would take 200 years for
this pollution 10 be eradicated. That
there should be ten million funerals
| in Germany before she would be
worthy Of trust.
DR.. MacQueen said that the news
papers had not overdraWn the pic
lures of the dark deeds and irhu-
name acts of the Germans. On show
| ing the picture of a bridge he told OF
how this had gotten him into trou-
| Bile. He thought it 4 good picture to
| take and did so. He was arrested

and here is something to give you thought
every man at the head of the allied forces IS a
Christian, who believes in the teaching OF the
Saviour of mankind.
Pershing did not tell these men to harden
themselves against discomfort,-the military
training would do that. He said that hardship
and temptation would befall them. But he point
ed them to the higher way.
What an inspiration were his example and his
words No wonder the American men went over
the top with a smile. With Wilson, Pershing
and Daniels, the Ship of State will weather
through, we may be sure of that, in spite of the
men of little soul, the men of restricted ideas,
the men Of dwarfed souls, men without ideals,
VINO are seeking to tear the flag to tatters.
Better to be Hum sending to their death
the innocent of an enemy country, than the pi-
rate who would scuttle his ship, and pull
down his own flag.
Would to God there were more men like
Pershing, to lead in time of peace as well as in
time of war.
