CALLS WOODROW
 WILSON PROPHET
Roosevelt and Lincoln Also Had Vision, Says Rev. J. |. Davis

Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roose- welt and Woodrow Wilson were prophets in their time just as much as were the Old Testament prophets, according to John l.. Davis talk be- fore the bible class which bears his name, at the Y. M c. A. last evening The topic was taken from the book of Amos and the subject was prophets" Amos, being a prophet was also a re- former and a socialist, according to the minister.
 "A prophet" said the minister, "is a man who has a real understanding of Gods will and mans duty and is de- voted to his fellow man. He is as much a foreteller of future events as he Is an outspoken man. Some people think the prophets of the bible were not real men but were something removed from human beings. They were real men. Amos was q sheep hcrder and puncturer of figs.
 Are you afraid of crowds? If yotl are you are not prophet. To be prophet a man must speak out un- hesitatingly, without fear or favor. The man who is a coward will never say anything worth listening to. Roose- welt was a most fearless American. Wilson was a fearless man. Wilson waited for the sentiment of the coun- | try, Roosevelt would have spoken whether they cared or not. Roosevelt was always in the forefront. The American people generally think he was egotistical That may go with the presidency, I don't know.
 "A real prophet must attack the es- tablished social order. The social or der always was wrong. and probably always will be. There will be some thing wrong with 1t when you and I have whiskers as long as Abraham had when he died.
 Don't you think the gospel has lost it's power. We have lost the gospel, that's all There is too much indefinite ness in religion. There isn't enough Thou are the man. The old pharisees who prayed on their knees on Sunday and preyed on their neighbors all week. asked what they should do to be saved. They were told by John the Baptist, If you have two suits of clothes, give one to your neighbor, and the poor prophet later had his head cut off because he had attacked the social order.
 "Abraham Lincoln was real pro phet Woodrow Wilson is a prophet. He has seen the things to come I'm not in favor of the league of nations as passed over in Paris. but think Woodrow Wilson is a prophet who sees far beyond his day. That's why he was hated He is prophet who couldn't make his vision felt. In after life history will say he had and preached the truth"
 Although covers were laid for S5 men at the supper the crowd was so large it was necessary to turn some away. Next Thursday covers will be laid for 125 men.

reason for this string of defeats is not apparent. Old timers who watched the Blue in action against Holy Cross on Wednesday night did not find the troublesome microbe. The men played smoothly and with dash but the visitors, recruited from green material, got away with the game. The present analysis is that the team does not time it's passing game properly.
