From this : rising presenta tion the Manufacturers Record makes the following extracts: "We are standing at onto of the most serious moments not only in the hit tory of the American republic, but sphere of Influence 45 per cent of the surface of Africa. The un never sets on the nritlsh dominion. All that was left for Grmany was a few bits in White Man's Grave' in equatorial Af rica, some small islands In the Pacific, and a slice of China, which she took (m tho excuse of the murder of two missionaries. Let us be fair. Try to imagine yourself a German.

(lf Siberia, an.l Eneland has her tears of a thousand years,, ' survive? No message is adequate for thiai hour except it deals with thie greatest of themes. "F will ask your attention u only two out of thle many things Jeus told Nieodeniu.'l that night alnjut thl3 king dom. The first is in the text; that no one can be a part of this kingdom, or oven see it, except he have lived from above. The life of God in man is the powtr of the kingdom. The Canada and Australia not one-fourth occupied. No fair-minded man can ,'0 this situation without having a deep sympathy with Germany's as pirations. "A second element in Germany's frame of mind Is the consciousness of her own efficiency. We can hard ly blame her for th'(. She has. come neairr eliminating both slums and poverty, she has come nearer stopping immigration by making it worth while second is found in thie sixteenth verse, , for ner pc0ple to stay at home, than as if Jesus would fiy: 'Do you want to see what lifo is from above is Hke? Then look at God himself. Ho so le.ved the world that he gave His only begotben Son ' It is the life of k ve expressed in sacrifice for the ob ject of love. He who has nlever known .-sacrifice kn iw; j othing about life from above. Ho may think that he las been r 'generated, but the v'3iv genius of the spiritual life is love, ex- pissed in sacrifice. The advance of the kingdom of God M always through tho sacrifice of love. The flag of Christ has never been planted in a heathen land except by sacrifice. No ilualm of human thought or activity has ever been conquered for Christ except by sacrifice. No life has ever been brought into captivity of his obedience except through surrender and sacrifice. The death of JeHus on Calvary is much more than an event of history. It is thus a great truth has been placarded across the cen turies, that God lives forever the life of lovo expressed in sacrifice, and that only Is so far as humanity becomes a partaker of this spirit dooes the kingdom come. "I come now to the thing I came here this morning to say, namely: America' part in the present world struggle is a part of the cost of ad vanaing kingdom of Christ. If this is not so, then we hav no business being at war. Unless- this nation len tera the strife with the ardor of a j great crusade, we had better have j submitted to thb end. The business of the Christian church in America at this hour fa to create the frame of I mind of the nation when compelled to go to war. We can do It, and if the j church fails in his hour she nleed nev er ask forgiveness of God or man. If the Christian church in America has no clear message for the people of toady, then she is in danger of being brushed aside as a cucumber of the ground.: Our people expect a clear, I ringing message from the pulpit. Woe to the preacher who triaa to make his j old 'sermons do.; He had better go and plant potatoes. What Is the frame of mind which we bliould seek to Induce in tho Amlerican people? Let me mention some of Its elements. "First: A clear consciousness of tine Tightness of what we are doing. Is it ever right for a Christian to tight? Yes, and when fighting is ' per miis.dable, it is not only -permlssable, but It becomes a j preme duty. I will take insult without fighting, I will take wrong to my properly or person ami not fight, but when helpless peo ple or a sacred trust given me by Di vine Providence ailo iin danger, then there; U something worth fighting for, doing for, and (I speak as a Christian) worth killing the otlln- fellow for', and forth killing tho other fellow for, and, that !s' the American situation toda,. We are not Avenging insults, we are not seeking redress for property de stroyed, and we do not want a foot of anybody's land or a dollar of any body's money. No nation ever enter ed a war with a clearer conscience or a more righteous cause. Reason lias Ween tried for two and a half year8 persistently, until it is evllent to all the world that we are dealing with a frame of mind that will not listen to any such appeal. I heard the man who wa:fLard Roberts' chief of scouts in the Boer War say the other day that the only time when he ever Oelt a yellow streak in the hour of danger was when there was something yellow in the undertaking in which h'- waa engaged. Our business is to make tho facts ( car to the en tire population of this land that all shall know that no other course was open to us. "The second element In this frame of irtlnd ia to understand the fram? of mind of the enemy. Let me men tion ome things In the German frame of mind v (I say Germany, for Au-(ro-Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey are but raasalt of the nentral actor.) Germany as a nation feels herself ag grieved. From 1871, when the mjlre any other country in Europe. With a fair field for competition she was driving othler commercial nations out of market after market, and she ha tin name efficiency in war as in the arts of peace. "A third element in her frame of mind Is bar national solidarity around hfr national hero. Say what we will about the Kaiser, he is the most forceful sovereign in the world today (he most unsleepinng man in Eu rope. Sometimes I think it would take all the other kings of Europe and then a full-cnsed man thrown in for good measure-to make Wilhelm II He Is the hero of the German nation There is no other king in this gener ation that is so fully the hero of his people. "But a fourth element must be reckoned with ia the German frame of mind. I will not charge this up to the whole nation, savla as the nation follows its leaders. If we could pick out 500 key men in the United States Roosevelt, Root, Lodge, Wilson, and others like them and inculcatla these 500 men with an idea, and then wait one generation, w'e would find that the idea on every farm and In every work shop lWween these Oceans. We don't charge the thing I am about to sav to the German people from the bottom up, we do charge it to them from the top down. The thing itself is RUTHLESSNESS. Th.'l war, fore ed by Germany, was begun with thie words (I quote from the Chancellor) 'Gentlemen, the thing we are about to do Is wrong, I apeak frankly, but It is necessary, and when one U situated as we are, the only concern is) how he can hack his way through,' The sink ing of the Lusltania, the torpedoing of hospital ships, the rape of Belgium with the (enslaving of its Inhabitants, the collecting of indemnities from the Belgian cities and, more awful, the silent O. K. of Berlin on the Armen ian massacre, all are a part of the same system. Ninevah stands at the head of the list as the most cruel people that ever held the soepter of power, but even Ninevah never un dertook the extermination of a whol9 race. We have v.itne'ied in the last two years the deliberate attempt to exterminate a nation of four and one- half millions Of people. This has been done by Turkish soldiers, sanc tioned and financed by the German Government and in - some instances under German officOsJ. "The Hohenzollern dynasty, the German Government, the military au tocracy (mark, I do not say the Ger man people) stand today at the bar of the conscience of the civilized world damned beyond the hopo of forgive ness, and I for one ;i n prepared to pray that the world wiil never see an hour's peacte while the Kaiser is on the throne. "We are certainly up against the real thing. Do not think for a ngle moment that Germany la beaten yet. Rememlbr that Germany has eleven millions of trained soldiers that can obey the call to the colors, that for nearly three years they have held up the civilized world. Tlease do not hark back to the Spanish-American war. That was an afternoon tea. And do not Imagine that the United States can do her part by advancing money, even by the tens of billions. Wb have against us the most awful combination of ruthless dehumanized efficiency in the shape of a military machine the world has yet seen. Ger many expects to collect indemnity. One hundred and twenty billions of dollars would be a moderate figure in ca n she is victorious. At least 75 per cent of this would come from the United States. Germany knows per fectly well that England's war debt is 22 1-2 per cent, of her taxable wealth, Russia's about 24 p;r cent., and tho war debt of France approximately 20 per cent., while the debt of the Uni ted State.", after raising the prerbnt flTe-billion-dollar loan, will be barely 2 1-2 pr cent, of our national wealth. T! power that would collect fifty are coming to us one of these days. "It all seemil so far away. Our peo ple can't realize as yet that we are at war. It will not be so far away twelve months hence. Unless something un expected happens, we are In for a long, bloody fight, and we may as well adjust our thinking to It now. "The third element in our framle of mind is a determination to mobilize all the reljurces of the United States with the thoroughness that we stee in Germany. We need our entire re sources of men, women and money mobilizod like a clienched fist for the work which under God we are called to do. Let us not lose our heads; above all, let us be fair to our German-American citizens'. We have no business to hold it against a man that he was pro-German a year ago. Per haps it was as natural for him to be pro-German as It was for some of us to be pro-British, but God pity the traitorous cur who, having sworn al legiance to tho Stars and StrlpOs, is pro-German now." HOW THE WAR TOBACCO TAX AFFECTS THE MANUFACTURER An item in the United States Tobac co Journal explanatory of the niew war tax measuiijr, was read with interest this week by local manufacturers. It related to that section applying to contracts for future delivery' and ac cording to the Journal manufacturers who have been worried as to thl2 pos sible effect of tax can now rest easy. Particularly so as to cigar and tobac co manufacturers. According to the Tobacco Journal if a manufacturer has sold at a stipula ted price for future delivlery the new war tax may be included, or, in the event the purchaser contends that the war tax should not be included and that he ijtiould continute to receive the goods at the specified contract price, the matter can be passed along to the government authorities, who will re bate the tax to this manufacturer and then proceed to collect from the pur chaser. To illustrate, If a cigar fac tory had contracted to sell cigars for $40 a thousand and the war tax was $3 the manufacturer would obviously be in the hole. As it k he Is permit ted to add the additional war tax or else check it .along to the purchaser. HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?
