The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1920-01-07

make them awake.
In this country Ne have been as
leep. We thought that socialism and
it's awful destruction could not live
in a~land where freedom means ST.
much and while we sep. the enemy
has sown this awful seed until now it
has grown until it is almost choking
out our very life.
Will we sleep on?
One so-called teacher of the pre-
cepts of the Great Teacher said in a
sermon recently, "lct us try II for two
years." Does he want his baby girl
to be placed in a state owed home,
that under socialism would Re for the
illigitimate children Of the state ?
Does he want his wife to lie owned
by the government and turned over
to be used by any man who sees fit to
take her?
Rev. Walker said:--"I had the great
privilege Of hearin.: Cardinal MERCER
speak at the General Con,= ntion of
Episcopal Church at Detroit and that
Grand Old Man of Belgium told us of
that wonderful saying, thou shalt not
pass Belgium had the greatest bride
offered to her that was evcr offered
to any nation in the world-peace and
projection. But they would not be
bought. Today we are offered such a
bride but as did Belgium, must take a
stand for the night regardless of the
cost. You must take a stand for your
country and fight this evil. If men
and Womcn will no The White Ameri-
a II , brand them as Red and treat
them as unclean and unChristian.
All over this state are newspapers
that spread the teachings Of socialism,
the overthrow of the government.
True it is they covc- it up sometimes
but it is there. Who makes this pos
s!blc? People WHO support those
newspapers. Men who pay their mon
ey for advertising are paying Just
that much to spread the teachings IF
this terrible thing and are just as
guilty as the men who write the arti-
c,rs. And why do they do it? For
the sake. Of a little business. The
newspaper promises a return of bust
ness patronage if you will let them
pass and you weaken and are untrue
to the principles of righteous Ameri-
canism.
In the words Of your great Cardi-
nal MERCER I call upon you they
shall not pass Do not take a bride.
AS members of the Roman Catholic
Church who do not in n way sup
port papers that make it their special
business to attack -FOUR church. l tell
you that the attack of these socialist
papers is more deadly than those 9TH
er papers for their teaching will ut
terly destroy your Church.
Knights of Columbus, you had to
subscribe to a clause in your applica-
ton for membership taking & decided
stand against socialism. Will you be-
true to that obligation?
A Roman Catholic and a Knight of
Columbus cannot be a follower of So
cialism and in the Name O. the God
whom you serve, I call Upon you to be
true to Him, your Church, your Or
der and to your Country and be not
yellow, nor red but a true WHITE
AMERICAN"
Cheer after cheer greeted Rev. Mr..
Walkers mastery address, while an
extraordinary demonstration partici-
pated in by visitor; from all parts Of
the state capped the climax to the
principal address Of the evening. j.,
