Leining of Meriden, Conn. having been
engaged as minister. The first service of
the season was held last Sunday morning
at 1915 O'Clock. Mr. Leining had as his
subject A Declaration for the Future.
He showed that the thought of world
thinkers and patriotic leaders of our own
country. coupled with the exciting Incl
dents of the time, had aroused the public
mind so as to prepare the way for the
Declaration of Independence. The time
was ripe and Americans championed the
cause of progress.
Since that time humanitarian princi-
pies have been growing in the hearts of
men Great leaders have been pointing
the way, and the world now weary under
the bloody burdens of war is anxious for
peace. The league of nations is preparing
for its international court of arbitration
and Americans are invited as candidates
for judges. The great nations are await
ing Americas word on the reduction of
ornaments. The time is again ripe, said
Mr.. Leining. for America to champion
the cause of progress and to lead the
world in the march toward peace as it did
in the march toward liberal government.
1t is now time for the nations to unite in
new declaration of independence-ofI
independence from the bondage of war.
