H 71 LOCK HART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, April 24.?The weather is still cool, but today is fair I and looks now like we are going to g have pretty weather. Well, after it e gets dry the farmers will get amove t on them to get through planting. Now h plant that other field in corn or feedstuff?you see cotton has gone down li and we don't know what will be the t outcome. I People we are up against one of the J most perilous times we have ever wit- a nessed. There is nothing but what is o changing every day. We hear some- o thing new happening all the time, r Some might think that the war is getting to be an old thing but my, my a it is only being renewed every day; I we are so far away from thinking i about it in a serious way, but this is s a serious time if we only stop to think f of it for a moment. We are up against ( one of the greatest wars that this S world ever dreamed of. We only know the past, we do not know the future, p History and the Bible are both repeat- n ing themselves. Have you ever thought p as you sit in your easy place what is s happening in other places? Let us c take an imaginary view of the situa- a tion in France and Germany when s hundreds of miles of fertile lands are o now covered with soldiers. Visit some h of the cantonments and you only have a a penny picture of it. When we read t the papers and see where Germany has r been successful and then we read f where the British have been successful, it makes a fellow feel like the 1 was is on for a long, long time. There ! were men in the Confederate war who a thought it would only be a short spell c and I have heard it said that one ( prophesied that he could drink every s drop of blood that would be shed if v it was water and this war went on h four years. Some folk think this war 1< will only last a few months longer, and we are in hopes it is true. Think t! of the precious lives that have been t lost and if it should go on a few more a years then what? Many more lives 1 lives lost and many countries ruined. 1We are feeling the effects of the war, ii are we not? What would our lives s be to us if we lost our liberty. It is enough to make the indifferent man ii think; it is like the Bible tells us: C "What does it profit a man to gain n the whole world and lose his own n soul!" I think sometimes God may be C speaking through this war to the n i wicked nations of the world and the a whole world must suffer. I They will have to be convinced by h the roaring of the cannon, the loss of s , property and many sacrifices, even ?he h shedding of blood and the loss of matry d more precious lives before they will ? , hear. Now this war may be one of the powerful sermons whe have heard 1 ?there should be more prayer to God a for help to save this old world from I ruin before it is too late. I George C. Wood of Jonesville has g ' just returned from Western North t i Carolina where he has bought a bunch f . of fine horses; he sure has a fine mare f in the bunch that can go all the sad- f die gaits.

Dr. Newell Dwight, one th if America's greatest of living wi trenchers. t th Before an audience exceeding 2,000, co t the Odeon, in St. Louis, Dr. Hillis no ectured on "German atrocities," and in: f any pro-German heard it their very th ouls must have burned with shame, de or it was the greatest indictment of ierman savacrerv ever heard frnm n t>> !t. Louis ?platform. m. I)r. Hillis showed photographic ha roofs of every assertion he made, re- m< larking, as he did so, that photoxaphs cannot lie. However, he Cli howed only such photographs as he ould before a mixed audience of men nd women. There were some he ^ howed privately to ministers and A thers that were too horrible to be T inted at here. These showed beyond for ny doubt that German soldiers under ?*' if I he kaiser in wartime live up to the re, eputation of their ancestors, the C? lunS. T5 Among other atrocities which Dr. r~ lillis said he witnessed while in I 'ranee was the sight of 120 women nd young girls lying dead in an orhard, after having been ravished by lerman soldiers. The victims, he d? aid, had been strapped to the ground M nth stakes and their outstretched pi ands tied to sapplings on either side, of . aving them helpless. ex "Every American who has passed su hrough France and the edge of el telgium this year has returned home di permanently saddened man," Dr. lillis said. "German cruelty and 'rench agony has cut a bloody gash a the heart, and there is no Dakin m olution that can heal the wound. ^ "I have here a reproduction of an ron disk given as a token to each ^ lerman soldier. At the top is a Ger- nt lan portrait of the Deity, and under- Wj eath are the words, "The Good Old cr lerman God.' To encourage the Gerlan soldier to cruelty and atrocity gainst Belgians and French, the ca )eity hoods a weapon in his right M and, and, to dull his conscience and pr teel his heart to murder the token a olds these words: 'Smite your enemy pi, ;ead. The day of judgment will not th isk you for your reasons.' "For three years German-Americans lave protested that stories of German itrocities were to be disbelieved as Cnglish inventions, Belgian lies and French hypocricies, but that day has da fone forever. When the representa- je< ives of the nations assemble for the pr inal settlement there will be laid beore the representative of Germany afidavits, photographs, with other leral proofs, that make the German ^ itrocities to be far better established han the scalping by Sioux Indians ^ >n the western frontiers, the murders \V1 n the 'Black Hole' of Calcutta, or the rimes of the Spanish Inquisition. "For the first time in history the Cerman has reduced savagery to a icience, therefore the great war for >eace must go on until the German dr. :ancer is cut clean out of the body.
