MISS MORAN'S STATEMENT la order that the publlo may under stand my attitude concerning the oath of allegiance, I herewith publish the statement ' which I presented to the Board of Education: TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION1; First of all I wish to say that I am thoroughly loyal to the United States. I recognize In our President a great man who Is using his power and In fluence honestly and conscientiously and according to his best Judgment In the Interests of -the peoples or tne world, and particularly of the United States. - I also recognise and. acknowledge the United States to be the greatest nation on earth, and that It Is the duty of everyone living within Its realms to be law abiding. I believe the time has come for the establishment of that kingdom for which our Lord taught us to pray: "Thr kingdom come, thy will be done In earth as It la In heaven." I believe the age now ending marks the close of the selection of a class of Individuals from out of the world dur ing the past nineteen centuries, to be associated with our Ixrd In the Incom ing klne-lom in bringing blessings to all mankind; that In order to be one! of that class. It la nereasnry to follow In the footsteps of the great Master, and take his teachlnas as ray guide which teachings forbid my parUcipa-t tlon In war In any form. 1 want It clearly understood that I1 have no socialistic or anarchistic ten- denotes, that 1 am not pro-German; I and. further, that the cause I am! espousing and the kingdom I announce' has ro place In Its governmental af-, fairs for the Kaiser or any one of like spirit, but that all affairs will be under, the direct supervision of our Lord and i Savior. I Having a full conviction that the; oretent evil order of things Is ending and that the new age Is being ushered In during the great time of trouble foretold in the Scriptures, and realizing that the combined efforts of all peo-. pies will fall to prevent the change of, dispensations: realizing, too. the won derful blessings In store for all man-! kind to be administered during the in-, coming ace. I cannot consistently1 pledge myself to assist in an attempt; to maintain this order. I I count it a privilege to announce to ' yois the only message of comfort which is now being proclaimednamely. "The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand." I Respectfully yours. I NELL MORAX.
