No' only s. but Sou'h America .mil China will he lookini; to us for protection. And it is not euouh for us to hold our. own; the stroiu must bear the infirmities of the weak. These are troublous times and we need to be a nation of cltlzijn soldiers for our own defense and the protection of our neighbors. llesides, our internal conditions demand mi 1 It a ry organization. .Militarism is not the cause of the war; but greed for gain. "What will thoil nut compel mortal hearts to do, thou cursed hunger for gold!" Materialism and commercial greed are eating the soul out of us. The world still needs a crucified and risen Savior and it is damned with out Him. We've got to die to live. Wealth has never made an indi vidual, man or nation, but the love of it has been the downfall of all men and nations that have goii? down. In .Mr. Bryan's speech against preparedness, his whole argument is based on selfishness. Take care of. your property and save your skin at any cost is his speech in a nutshell. His doctrine is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The .Master says he that saves his life shall lose it and he that, loses hia life shall save it. Remember that whatever is not sacrificial is sa tunic. -. . - Mexico will never be saved until there is some innocent bloodletting. Blood, the givln of life, is the only remedy for sin. Without shed ding of blood there is no remission of sin..., Only the blood. of Jesus COirist, . Cod's ,. Sou,. . cleauaetU Jrom all sin; but all innocent blood Is His blood. I am willing to give my blood, such as it is, and the blood cf my children to save my country. I am about sixty four years old, but if my country needs me in her army of preparedness, I stand ready to go and hereby volun teer as a high private for immediate service, , In conclusion let me say a word about the kind of preparedness I believe- In. I believe in universal good roads at the expense of the government, in a military fjature In nil our public schools, in a navy sefond only to Great Britain and In a citizen army of 500,000 men with the best equipment Jn the world.

Sale, 53, warden of he North Carolina penitentiary at '.(aleigh died of Apoplexy Friday a half hour after he had superin tended the electrocution- of two negroes. Physicians who wit nessed the executions declared the warden appeared agitated as he unstrapped the bodies of the negroes from the electric chair after death had occurred. Mr. Sale retired to his office and shortly afterward became unconscious. He had ex pired whan physicians reached him. Jeff Dorsett and Ed. Walker, the negroes executed, were convicted on circumstantial evidence of the murder in Guilford County last year of John Swain, an aged far mer in an attempted robbery. Prison authorities said Walker, prior to leaving his cell for the death chamber, confessed that he shot Swain. It was the first dou ble electrocution to take place In this State..
