MARION, O., July 4. The spirit of patrjfcjtiymericanism that made "men and women by the millions" seek op portunity to serve the nation dunng the war was invoked by General Per shinjeday, speaking at Marion's cen tennial celebration, to combat the pres ent "dangerous tendency toward diso bedience to law." , "Moral standards have become ma terially weakened," he said, "and the criminal elements of society are less cautious f their activities. It is time for all citiYms who cherish our heritage of free gournment to assert themselves "and trsjAivX, against lawlessness and immorfqjfty. We musfr stand for prompt enforcement of the law, or concedo that "free government is a failure; V'Open adherence to the lofty ideals is quite as' essential now in the post wardays as during war time when im pending danger inspired every one to unselfish devotion and service." Speaking of the figns of Telnxed standards, General lVshing said: "Under the constitution every, man is guaranteed the right to live, enjoy liberty, and pursue happiness, but there are those, who defy these guarantees and seek to deprive others of these sacred ' priviloj?s. "Where whole . communities openly sympathize with ruthless murder of in Voffonsive people in the exercise of the right to earn a livelihood, and where wholesale murder goes unpunished, it is imperative that public opinion should demand that tho strong arm 'of the law, under fcurless officials, te posi tive action. Overt and inexcusable acts of this character not only debase the participants, but lower the whole moral fabric of the nation and strike at the very existence of self government." General Pershing nlso dealt with the question of military preparedness. "The voice of tho blatant pacifist is again heard in the land," he said. "The unreasoning, the unthinking and those who will not learn from experi ence, continue to advocnte the theory thaf our rW i ' the people, and in the face JNp the loss of life and the cost in njoney that we ourselves have recently withstood, as a result of neg lect of Jlliomost feeble preparation, 1 . they ..pfpuaunce against any sort of military Training or preliminary organ ization and, would so reduce as to make expansions-impossible within ai reason period and possibly agaiu compel the enomiousVexpenditure of life anil treas ure under which the country is suffer ing today. "I veuturm to say that few, if any, of these who? would destroy our small army an&navy in times of peace, were fouiuMn the ranks with these brave andpatriotic men who fought to de stroy the armies of our enemies on the field of battle."

God called Adam because ho loved him. lie did not call him to' punish him nor did he call him to destroy him. When God ealled Adam, he hid behind a bush.
