I was op- belie posed to this war. Had I been a " is United States senator or a congress- f?r > man I would have voted against it. and I believe religiously, as firmly as rious 1 believe that there is a Cod in 'b Heaven, that on the final judgment a,u' day every American citizen who is ( bri< killed in this war off of American that soil will be charged against the pres-|cbur< Ident of the United States and the bono members of the congress of the big ] United States who voted for it, as an wbor unwarranted sacrifice in the sight tors ' of Almighty Cod. of fresh young b,urtl American manhood. be tl "Do not misunderstand me.

Can any man show me ,,evhere Christ ever said 'Messed be ?P?ni Ihe warmaker?' No, but he did say any that He came upon earth to save men ami not to destroy them. He led the Staff fight for Christianity and to save ''best from death. Today what do we find Pu* * in this great country of ours? \\*o pam( i find the press, with all its might and Prov + ^ power, swing itself upon the side of ('raf death and destruction.
