Blease accepted the invi^tion to be the speaker at the Red Men's picnic at Good Hope church in wfiuda county, on last Friday. There f" were about 300 people present and 't> rv-n ixro c an Pflinvahlp One. ^ WB v^vasiuu it uu ^ ? ' Mp. Blease spoke upon the principles of the order, namely, Freedom, Friendship and Charity and in discusi 0 sing^ie principles of Freedom, the following is a synopsis of what he .^aid concerning the present war: * Indies and Gentlemen: ? . 1 am pleased to have the pleasure % S o? ?#|p.kmg to you and my brother v.' Red-Men of Good-Hope No. 63. The great tenets of our beloved order aire Freedom, Friendship and CharAny organization living up to ic worthy of V CAancu .w . t?e best and truest consideration of k ??ch and every community in this P . great state and nation of ours. This j.* is an opportune time for us to tali I ? about freedom. We are all thinking I. and- talking of the most gigantic and W iar reaching war that has been waged 7 , on this old globe of ours. J .1 might speak at length concernIing the cause of the war. However, * I deem such a course unwise and un ic immgtonni whether 11? j* xl xo xiuuumvva ? > ? ? ? ,*swe approve of the war or or whether -/vve approve of the wisdom of the Gov ^frnment to select our soldiers by draft. The fact is that we are at war, and that our youg men have been drawn. It is your business, and mine, "Bfow to do everything possible in our B power to conserve our men morally ^ and physically, and to exert all our ^ergy to cause our military forces, rboth on land and sea, and I should ?ay in the air above us and the fearth beneath us, to be successful. This is time for halting and quibbling. It ' ? is no time for asking and answering I xL i ^questions. It is pflWJlf time for say> * ^ig this or that thing ought, or should "^ave been done. You and I have no \ time. It is your duty and mine to act, act promptly, act positively, act intelligently in obedience to the voice of our Government, which has \epoken through the National Congress and the great Executive of our x ^Nation. On -one occasion, the great teacher, Savior of all men, was asked a qug&ion. Beflore -answering the v > question he called for a penny. After . ,?xamining""this penny, He said "Rente f d^r unto Ceasar the things which are V Ceasar's." I understand this to teach L In this day, which day is yours and BL "''^mine, that it is the duty of every perJ son to render obedience unto the law3 of his State and Nation. I say his; I mean hers as well. The question "naturally arises: How can I do this? k The short and simple answer is. for every man and woman to do faitbf*? fully, and honestly, that which he or j she can do to advance the interest of J i every one. It is the time when we > * should forget selfishness; it is the ttime when we should not think of partisanship; it is the time when we1 should not think of political prefer-' ment; but every one should do every :V1 ~ nn r com fk thing possiuie IXF aumuv. imon interests. It is the time when j ^re all should strive to do the obscure j things, if ve are best fitted or not,' if we cannot do the prominent thing ' we should do the obscure thing, looking not to the present for our reward, I hut realising and understandig that If wm digchfirze faithfully, as hum-j "ble Christians, the duty that is de-j 1 Tolved upon us, the reward that is I offered us will be Touchsafed us at; Wf that great and final day. I I said at the out-set that it was lmto us what caused this war. I have heard numbers and various,1 B opinions in reference thereto. What-! Hk ever may be the cause, I believe this Bfljjgf I to be true, that it is now necessary % ~~ ?* fi^ht. for a world W _ lor US ilVt, V/Uljr vw _0 [/ .wide democracy, for national de>moc-; ^ \ racy, for state democracy, but it is ^necessary that we should fight for ' p liberty, our liberty, the liberty of our1 wiver, liberty of our children, liberty ! | of our posterity, the liberty for which ? our fought, because, dear! I friends, as I see it, if Germany shall! Ik whip, us we wrill be a German prov ince, and if the Germans are guilty g| of one-half of the atrocious. he*$ous f and unspeakable Crimes which . ara.. & charged against them, if they i i | % * > \ THf *> * m*rn It's a good rule that W home merchant and the 1 real pillar of society.

The fara holding the farmer. i . win over U3, God ha^e mercy on our girls and women by taking them im mediately to Heaven. For, if they! are forced to -undergo that which :t! is said the women of the sections of country that have been conquered oy the Germans have had to undergo, death will be preferable. Ssince it becomes necessary for us to Sght for the protection of our women, God knows that no Southern man needs ask for any other cause. Ah, friends! Are there South Carolinians who nave so far strayed from the teachings of our great statesmen, who have so far strayed from the advice and teachings inculcated in us from our very youth, who have so far strayed from the path of right and rectitude as not to be willing to sacrifice his last dollar o?y* ararrr Amr\ r?f hlnori for the DfO V- f V* ? U* X/jJ V *1 A tection of the women of our State I and Nation, if there be such a one iie is unworthy of the name of man; he is unfit for a. place in this great Naition of ours; and God knows he is unfit for any place in eternity. I say to you men, it 13 your amy and my duty to toe up and doing, doing actively, doing intelligently, everything tht it is possible for us to in order to "bring victory to our Arms, in each and every branch thereof, in ordei^to ftricg, ?eace to ppr. country, "ifi order to bring permanent' peace to all men. \ : R-.AL PILLAR OF SOCIE rorks BOTH ways.
