weeks ago. President Campbell Under

When Miss Upleger was approached
she denied that she was In sympathy
with the German cause and declared

the light of harboring a person on its

tion taken, was adopted by the student

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
