PATRIOTISM Support President In National Crisis ? Wave Stars and Stripes at Battle Front In France. DEMOCRACY AT STAKE By Rev. Dr. NfcWEM DWIUHT HILLIS, Pastor of Ptymouib Church. Brooklyn, N. V. The duty of suit porting our presi dent and congress in t lie national crisis was the sub ject of tlie second of a series of ser mons preached by L>r. llillis, pastor of Plymouth church in Brook lyu. Dr. llillis de clared that pa triotism is man's earliest, latest and profoundest senti ment and that the self sacrifice of our f at h e r s pledges us to our BEV. DK. NEWELL DWIOHT HILLIS. country's defense. He said that the day when American boys carry tlie battle flag into the trendies of France will be a golden day in the history of liberty. Following is the second sermon of the series: Text? And his sword was dipped in beaveli.-*lsaiah. For the fifth time our republic has entered upon a war, defensive and of fensive, agaiyst a foreign country. As m our four previous wars, so now con gress has ta!:en action only atter threatened invasion of our land by a foreign army or after hundreds of AmerU an citizens have been murdered, our &hips sunk, our property destroyed and our institutions threatened. In stating the issues of the war our pres ident attained a hi;:h form of elo quence in a speech that will have a large place in the history of our coun try. Supreme eloquence means the meeting of three great things? a great man, a great crisis and a great prin ciple. If the president's speech was less dramatic than Patrick Henry's speech at Williamsburg, less quotable than Abraham Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg, less picturesque than Wendell Phillips' in Faneuil hall or Beeeher's speech at Liverpool, it re mains for us to affirm that his address was a noble and impassioned plea for the safeguarding of free institutions for the human race. Spirit of Democracy at Stake. From the very beginning of this mighty conflict wise men saw that our entrance into this war was inevitable. Lincoln once said that a house divided against itself cannot stand; that the republic could not endure, half slave and half free; that it must become all one thing or all the other. Now, Eu rope is a house divided against itself, and therefore cannot stand. It cannot remain half autocratic and half demo cratic. It must become all one thing or all the other. Either Germany must conquer the allies and impose autoc racy upon these free governments or the allies must conquer Germany for the overthrow of autocracy and mili tarism and make the German people truly democratic. The battle line there fore is between autocracy on the one hand and self government on the othej\ "New occasions teach new duties; time make:? ancient good uncouth." Today, therefore, every individual, every city and every nation must take its stand for or against autocracy. Individual worth is the genius of American insti tutions. ? Every citizen is to he made wise, strong, self sufficing, and there fore to be a citizen king, governing himself. The spirit of democracy, therefore, is at stake. John Milton once said that we had better kill a noble man than slay a noble book. Milton meant that God can raise up another man and All him with truth and genius, but the book is the precious lifeblood of a prophet or seer, to be handed for ward and reproduced- in thousands or millions of men. Better, therefore, that we slay all the men of this republic than that we slay our institutions that should reproduce themselves in millions of free men that can become the archi tects of states and the builders of the commonwealth. The Stars and Stripes to Wave at the Battfe Front of France. The groat emancipator once said that he was not anxious as to whether or not God was on our side, bat that he was deeply concerned with the ques tion whether we were on God's side. By the action of congress our people are now where we should have been two and a half years ago. on the side of God's little ones for their protection, fighting for the republic of Fiance, for the free institutions of the other uilies and for the defense of our own repub lic. Men of fortitude and patriotism have often felt humiliated by the fact that we were piling uj> treasure in bil lions while France and Kijgland wore fiphting for the big mother liens of lib erty in Belgium, for which our fathers fought in 177(5 in America. How thrill ing the thought that from this hour our own soldier hoys will carry the Stars " and Stripes beyond the trenches, risk ing their lives for the groat convic tions of their fathers! In this critical hour for liberty and humanity the place for our boys is not the field, not the fac tory. not the store and bank; their place is with the Canadian boys at Cptnbrai and St. Quentin, and the place for our flag Is above their trench es. Never was a nation under heavier obligations. We owe our allies a finan cial debt. Years ago they loaned us the money with which our western railways were bullded and the great northwestern states opened up to set tlers. Our farmers owe our allies a debt. England and France bought their wheat, meat and cotton and pahl prices high enough to enable the farm er to pay off his mortgage and put money In the bank. Our manufacturers and merchants owe a debt to the allies. They have sent to this country billions of dollars and purchased the highest prices our tools, our l<^>iuotives, our autos, our iron and steel. But these material riches are the least of our ob ligations. France gave us the jacquard loom, Italy gave us the marconigram, Belgium gave us the printing press, England gave us the besaemer steel, Scotland gave us the steam engine. In the realm of intellect England gave us Milton's plea for the liberty of the press, Darwin's theory of evolution; Scotland gave us Adam Smith's "Wealth of Na tions;'* France gave us authors as di verse as Victor Hugo, the novelist, and Calvin, the theologian; Belgium and Holland gave an asylum to the pilgrim fathers; Italy gave us our fine arts, with Savonarola and Dante. Our nat ural friends are the allies, who stand for the free institutions so dear to us and to our fathers. On the other hand, German autocracy and militarism are opposed to and have assaulted every free institution that belongs to our na tive land. The war with German au tocracy and militarism, therefore, was inevitable. It is the war between light and darkness, liberty and tyranny, eter nal right and wrong. A War For Our Native Land. Love for our native land bids us sup port our president and congress. Patri otism is man's earliest, latest and pro foundest sentiment. As the lark loves to return to its own nest, as the bee loves the hive where it stores its honey, as the bird of paradise leaves the des ert and returns to the oasis with its palms and fountains, so the traveler and the soldier long for the home land. Therefore it is that the noblest words in literature have concerned one's coun try. Witness the love of Jesus for Jerusalem, "the joy of the whole earth," and his sorrow when he wept at the thought of his country's over throw and fall. Remember that all eloquence is born of a great theme. The greatness of Athens lent greatness to Pericles. The beauty of Florence, city of flowers and flower of cities, lent wisdom to Savonarola. Who can de scribe Martin Luther's passion for Ger many, or Shakespeare's love for Eng land, or Robert Emmet's love of Ire land, or Napoleon's love for France? But these lands are like tiny diamonds, while our country is a brilliant kohi noor, a veritable "mountain of light." Europe's soil has been injured by 2,000 years of tilling. Our country is a treas ure box stuffed with gold and gems: No other laud is so rich in vineyards and orchards, in pastures and mead ows, in herds and flocks. Our country is the world's granary, filled with bread for Europe's hunger. Our south is a vast cotton factory, holding warmth against the winter. Our rivers run over sands that sparkle with gold. Our hills are filled with silver and copper. Our plains are rich in iron and zinc. Our valleys are crowded with coal and oil and gas. Our great lakes hold one half the fresh water of the globe. What forests in the northwest! What an oasis of flowers and fruit is California I What n casket of gems filled for a king is our Alaska ! Our people number one-fifteenth of the human race, while our income is a quarter the total in come of all the nations. Men in India and China always dwell near to starva tion; but, lo, our people have abun dance and to spare. God hath not dealt so with any other country. Our prop erty has been used to build schools for the Intellect, galleries for the imagina tion, churches for conscience, homee for happy families, halls of liberty, law, art and science. The Self Sacrifice of Our Fathers Pledges Us to Our Country's Defense. The self sacrifice of our fathers pledges us to support our president and congress. The history of heroism holds no brighter chapter than the story of the pilgrim fathers landing In Decem ber, standing waist deep in icy waters and carrying the women and children ashore to set them down midst snows. Then they lifted their axes upon the trees, opened up the dark forests and builded their cabins. These, cling ing to the edge of the forest, were al ways open to attack by Indians w!th their tomahawks and firebrands. With in sixteen years they founded Harvard college, developed the town meeting, and within a hundred years they set tled the edge of the Atlantic ocean, 1,500 miles long and a hundred miles deep. Then they planned the settle ment of the great west. One of their number standing on the top of the Al legheny mountaius, with hand lifted to his ears, told his Indian guide that he was listening to the tramp of coming millions. On and on the settlers push ed their way. Breathing the poison of the new soil, they burned with fever and chilled with ague. Living in their little log cabins, they toiled In summer, starved in winter, but studied always. Once the advancing columns of covered wagons bad reached the Missouri they organized a new attack, started for the tops of the Itocky mountains, poured down into California as the ragged sol diers of Xenophon down to the shores of the Black sea, chanting, "The sea. the sea!'* But wherever our forefather? went they carried with them ideals of the church, the schoolhouse, the col lege and the legislative hall. With sucb a heritage of heroism behind us ve cannot be idlers, cowards or traitors. Our fathers have given vows for ua through their self sacrifice, Just Wordsworth refused an overture of 11,000 salary to become a poet aiul llv# ou ?HK> because bis "father had fiveu vows for him and made pledges." And when the cords of our better uature, stretching from every heart and hearth stone to the graves of our forefathers, are touched by the angels of our t>etter nature we, too, will give forth the mu sic of liberty and humanity. We must l?e free whose ancestors were the pil grim fathers. The Institutions that our allies In France t >day are defending are the very Ideals for which: our own forefathers struggled and died. The democracy that our president would have us safeguard Incarnates the pa triotism of Washington, the clear vl sion of Hamilton, the earnest love of eiptal rights of Terson, the intellec tual majesty of Webster, the universal pity and love which were the glory of Lincoln. And the st ruggle of our young soldiers and sailors will l>e to preserve, strengthen and hand forward the prin ciples of self government that were achieved by the self sacrifice of our forefathers. What the Republic Does For Poor Boy* It is the glory of this republic that the entire resources of all the jieople are held as trust fumls for the strength ening of each individual youth, lhe genius of our democracy i'-? "all the peo ple for each Individual, and each man for all." In nn autocratic country like Germany the patrician few hold most of the land, the income and the offices, while the millions of poor are held down in their place as burden bearers. But here all the people tax themselves to build the free school, oi>en to all young hearts. All the people unite tlieir resources for army and navy to pro tect this jHJor boy and his home. The multitudes unite their gold that each ambitious youth may enter a free church and a free library and a fiet-. gallery. In the republic the test ol any Institution, tool or law Is, Does It promote the happiness and well being of all the people? We welcome the loom because it makes raiment cheap for the poor. We welcome the ante and the locomotive because tbey re deem the iieople from drudgery. We welcome the new printing press be cause It sows the land with wisdom and knowledge. Formerly only tlie king and the baron could have paintings, missals, warm houses, golden chariots, but now the workbigman has nn equal chance at the papers, the books, a chance for travel 011 palace cars and ocean steamers. What ! Tills country owe you a living? Rather do you owe your country ten thousand sacri fices. What treasures have you received freely at the hands of your country! As a young man you read great books you never wrote. You sing hymns you did not compose. You ride ou cars you did not build. You arc protected by laws you did not enact, are guided by a flag whose stripes are stained with the blood of your fathers. All you have done was to get yourself born into this country nnd lay hands upon treasures beyoftd tlio riches of a king. Liberty lias given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together and run ning over, and as you have received so must you give as soldier or sailor, nurse or physician. A Glorious Day. The day when American boys carry the battleflag Into the trenches of France will be n golden day in the his tory of liberty. The spectacle will elec trify the world, hearten our allies and dismay our enemies. That our en trance into this war will hasten the coming of peace and end the last war that will curse our earth let 11s firmly believe. For peace will come soon, come to stay, and so come as to be worth the keeping in nil future time. Let us recall Lincoln's words as we "diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful re sults." For the peace for which we are struggling is a permanent peace that springs from justice, liberty and self government; a peace that is based upon the sanctity of treaties; the peace that safeguards the rights of little Yands; the peace that follows the over throw of autocracy and the emancipa tion of the oppressed; the peace that safeguards free institutions against all organized militarism. For that peace the widows of Belgium will thank us; for that peace the mothers of France who have offered their boys as a costly sacrifice will bless us; for that peace the common people of England, Russia and Canada will praise us. For this is flie peace of which the angels of good will sang 2,0ot? years ago? a peace that is as firm as the mountains and as en during as the stars because It is based upon the eternal principles of Justice, liberty *"* - GENERAL KING PRAISES THE HILLIS SERMONS Letter of (Jeneral Ilorntio C. King, former commander of the Army of the Potomac, urging the papers of the country to reprint I>r. Ilillis' sermons: As one of Mr. Beecher's oldest friend* and one who can recall the days of the civil war I feel very deeply the crisis upon our country. This whole land should become a school of patriotism. Many pub lic men have said that they wished thai the people of the entire country could hear or rend and study this course of sermons now being delivered to audlenccs that crowd Plymouth church to the roof. I notice that you are doing your bit by making it possible for a'l the people of your community to read these addresses. Why cannot the preachers of the coun try restate them to their congregations? Why cannot our schooltenchors use these addresses as the basis of a brief talk to the boys and fclrls In the public Bchools? Thank God, our editors realize how criti cal Is the hour! The newspapers of the country must In these momentous days turn the whole land Into a big school room. As an old soldier I want to send out my pies that tditor and preacher and schoolteacher and citizen emphasize one word? patriotism, patriotism, and still patriotism? with love for God, liberty anil our native land. Very sincerely yours, HORATIO C. KINO. "IF." After seeing a business man light a cigar and flip the match thought lessly into a corner of his office near a waste basket, a man wrote the fol lowing paraphrase of one of Kipling's best known poems: If you can toss a match into a clear ing, And never give a thought to put it out, Or drop your cigarette butt without tearing That flames may kindle in the leaves about, If you can knock the ashes from your brier, Without a glance to see where they may fall, And later flnd the forest all aflre, Where you have passed ? with no one near to call; If you drive your auto through the working, And cast your stogie stub into the slash, Unmindful of the danger therein lurking, Or homes or happiness that you may smash; If you can leave your campfire while 'tis glowing, No thought of industries that it may blight. Or of the billion saplings in the grow Turned into charcoal ere the coming night, If you can start a fire beneath a brush pile ? When the wind is roaring like a dis tant gun ? You surely should be shot without a trial, And, what is more, you'll be a fool, my son. ONE-HALF Cl'I' OF MILK. "Many a Mickle Makes a Muckle." Half a cup of milk ? whole, skim med or sour ? a seemingly trifling matter ? hardly worth the trouble to keep or use. In many households quite a little milk is wasted ? left uncovered in glasses ? regarded as useless because the cream has been skimmed off ? allowed to sour ? poured down the sink or thrown out. Now if every home ? there arc 20, 000,000 of them ? should waste on the average one-half cup daily, it would mean a waste of 2,500,000 quarts daily ? 912,500,000 quarts a year ? the total product of more than 400,000 cows. It takes a lot of grass and grain to make that much milk ? and an army of people to produce and deliver it. But, every household doesn't waste a half cup of milk a day. Well, say that one-half cup is wasted in only one out of a hundred homes. Still in tolerable ? when milk is so nutritious ? when skim milk can be used in making nutritious soups and cereal dishes ? when sour milk can be used in bread making or for cottage cheese. ?

Meat Forms Uric Acid. Which Excites Kidneys and Weakens Bladder. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in the meat ex cites the kidneys, they become over worked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particu larly backache and misery in the kid ney region, rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipa tion, torpid liver, sleeplessness, blad der and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad der bothers you, get a small box of kidneco from Creech Drug Co., Smith field, N. C., and take one tablet before each meal followed by a glass of wa ter for a few days, and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous treat ment is made from a formula of a specialist in the treatment of kidney trouble, and has been used for gener ations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus endinsr bladder disorders. Kidneco can not injure anyone, and will be found a wonderfully effective remedy for all kidney ills. They are inexpensive and can be bought bv the dozen at R. T. Fulghum's, Kenly, N. C.? Advt.
