It may be that we have on ly a squint at It from one small an gle while they are viewing It from every angle. But as we see • It, therfedias been no necessity for these strained relations, and no reatmn for us to think even of going to war. As we view it. there have been some very inconsistent actions on the purt of our national government, ir.d of our great, dally newspapers. Gf*rn»ati\ Is not the only nation nt fault. Ir piust be remembered that Germany Is fighting for her very existence wifh the odds very much against her.

Yet/ they came and history tells us that the reason for It was that they might worship God according to the dlc.- tates of* thelng own consciences. Over there they were forced to wor ship according to the tenets of the faith of the country at the time, and they did not feel that they coul 1 do this and remain men. Hencr they dared to brave the savage .for est and come to free America when they co.uld worship God as thev pleased.* yA little later other immigrant': came from England and settled in the wilderness of South Carolina, and battled with savages and later with their mother country, for what* *To get where they could enjoy re ligious and political freedom.

As a principle whiqh is a right/ and as a right which is a principle, no one can dispute that freedom thus obtained Is best tor the people. U should not now br ubridged. Men should still be a*- lowed to have freedom of worship One man may not feel that there is any use in shouting, but It an other wishes to show the enthusi asm of his religion by shouting, what concern is It of any other man* Should we deal harshly with those or should we allow them the sain- 1 right our forefathers came over here to enjoy to worship God as thev pleare? The main concern is that they should worship God in so no way.
