Hall Urges Ood u Still on His Throne T he M em orial D a y program as published In last weeks Sentinel was carried out. Tw o ministers of the Gospel de livered addresses of the day. Rev E. E. Colter of the C hristian Church delivered an address at the arm ory and Rev C. J. H a ll of the M ethodist Church a t the cemetery. Rev Colter's subject was "F o r God. Home and N a tiv e Land ” H e said in part: "W e meet in sacred mem ory of the men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice that our country m ight live. N o t only in tlje great civil w ar but all wars fought in the name o f our country. "Fresh In our minds the W orld W a r holds firs t place and today we place flower» over the grave of the unknown soldier. W e have an account to settle w ith those noble dead who fought, bled and died in Flanders Fields. W e lied to those boys. W e told them they were going to fight for th e ir country, a war to end all wars, to protect th e ir homes. W hen In re a lity they were fig h tin g fo r greed and g ra ft o f a few money lenders. N ever again w ill I lift m y voice in behalf of such a cause. W hen our country is invaded I w ill fight, my boy and g irl w ill be urged to go and fight. But we w ill die before a firin g »quad as slackers before we figh t In foreign count ries for DuPont, M organ. Bethle hem Steel works and m unition plants. "It is a noble thing to die fo r one's country, but It is more noble to live fo r It. Today the arch enemy is Invading our country as it did Russia. Spain and other countries and now it is a canker gnaw ing at the very vitals o f our national life. It's battle cry is K ic k God out o f Heaven, over throw the Church and break down the G overnm ent”. E very red blooded Am erican is called to fall in line not to die. but to live fo r your country. G et back to God. support the church and save your home which is the foundation of our country'- Reject God and church and you ru in home and sell your country to communism T oday we are called to rededicate our lives to the unfinished task fo r which these men and women died.” • • • Rev. H a lls subject was "A task fo r peace-time patriots." He said in part: "The w orld seems to be in a mood for just this thing. Nations as never before, feel that there ought to be some other way out of intern atio nal d ifficu lties than through the tradition al way o f bloodshed. T hey have had faith to instruct th e ir representatives to covenant w ith other nations that they w ill not resort to arm s to settle th e ir grievances; but to the council table. But. somehow, dis trust and fear and hopelessness still are strong. Brute anim al nature is still ram pant in our leg islative halls, in council chambers: and the w a r lords are straining at th e ir leashes. This is a p art of our responsibility, would we free our youth to constructively give of th eir lives to th e ir country. W h ile these are hum an problems, yet they are more than hum an prob lems. B ut they are not beyond the realm o f possibility. God Is still on his throne In our Universe: H e still has power to transform Individual lives; and through in dividual lives fam ilies; and through fam ilies states and nations. And when nations have thus been transform ed, then can we be as sured youth w ill be freed to spend th e ir lives in fru itfu l endeavor in helping to bring In the Kingdom of God here on earth. But, In or der for God to do this. H e must have w illin g workers. W illin g to cooperate w ith H im In freeing our selves fro m those passions of avar ice and greed and selfishness and lust fo r power which is the cause of strife." Farm er» Sign W o rk Sheet».
