Newspaper Page TextSaturday Evening, April 18, jj JSUUENE DAILY GUARD Page Two. Military Service Will Be Held on Sunday for Battalions of Eugene THE CHURCH MILITANT. (A Saturday 'Sermonette.) i Tho question, "What Would Christ do if He were on earth in mortal form today?" is one that many a person who seeks to "have the mind that is in Christ Jesus", must ask himself. It is often puzzling to know what to do. "Is it consistent Christian ity for a pastor to. don the khaki and drill with a gun?" The only patriotic answer is "yes." Jesus, the Christ, had, in a measure granted to no other be- ins; who ever wore mortal form, the power of spirit over matter, as is shown by his turning water into wine; passing through closed doors and walking on the water. Having those powers which we do not possess, enabled as he was to feed the hungry and raise the dead, we cannot expect to be able to solve every problem as he did. Nor have we through his example precept or lowers, which enabled them to do ed. This being the case, if we are to "feed my lambs as Jesus ordered, we must do it in the way that we best can, whether or not it be in the way he could have done. "By their fruits shall yo know them," said the master. The fruits of every man's life at this time are for one of two things. They are for the cause of freedom or the cause of despotism. They are for liberty or for oppression. . Jesus said I am not to destroy the law but to fulfil it. He did not intend to set aside the law of the Old Testament as it ap plies to the rebuking of sin and The denunciations of the rulers was invariably for the violation and man. If they denounced the from God in a large majority of proofs, the fact that the poor were oppressed and the widow and the fatherless were not cared for. " Christ himself scourged the money changers out of the tem . pie, arid he Baid "I bring not peace, but a sword." People have s6 long associated war with oppression and greed that it is hard to separate them, yet it. is doubtful if there can be found, north or south, a man who will say that the Civil war was not . working out the cause of freedom,, which 1b the. Will of God. Who can stand, up and say that, the good, .growing out of the Spanish American war was not many times its loss and wrong? War is like business ; there is good and bad war. War against .oppression is taught by the Bible, although neither taught nor de nounced by Jesus, and so long as the Psalms are read in church es; so long as David is held up as the hero of Israel, given the leadership because he was pure in spirit;. just so long will it be right for the worshipers of God; the followers of Christ Truth, to take the best means at hand to stop the ravages of crazy mur derers..' . . Wheke tt is possible to control a maniac without force it is best to do sp,.'but no man would hesitate to shoot a maniac who had A: a -knife poised over the heart of a woman or child. How much moire should any true Christian shoot to protect the women and children of the world from the blood crazed, lust filled Hun? It is also a remarkable fact, though seldom commented up on, that although Jesus rebuked Peter for using force in his be half and though he went to the cross for the good of others, there was, so far as the Bible shows, no disciple that suffered any in jury while Jesus lived in mortal form. That he exercised power in behalf of others which he would not use in his own behalf is shown by the remarks on Calvary, "Others He Saved, Himself He Cannot Save." This would show that it was the selfish use of His power which Jesus condemned, not the use of the power itself. The men who have made the world better to live in have been the men who have been fearless to attack evil both in ma terial and mental guise, and fight it regardless of cost. B.W.T. The central point of interest in the church services on Sun day will be the military service which will be held in the First Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock for the members of thw University Ordnance Class, the University Battalion and the home guard battalion. . The service will be conducted by Reverend George H Par kinspn, the pastor of the church and the chaplain of the Univer sity battalion. He will be assisted by Reverend C. E. Dunham pastor of hte First Baptist church, and a private in the home guards. Seats will be reserved for the members of these organ izations, who will meet at their respective headquarters and , march to the church together. At the vesper services of the Methodist church, hold at 5 -00 Mr. Parkinson will deliver the second of his addresses on sub jects in connection with the war. Last Sunday Mr. Parkinson paid his respects to tho business men and laboring men who put self above country. This week he will have something interest ing to say to the church slackers.

Urges Ban on German . Editor Guard How can the fertile imagination of Chas. W. Newlnnd find a "practical need in the future'' for a knowledge of German? Tho Lord forbid that "a necessity to speak German" shall ever "develop" in this country. That is what all loyul peo ple are trying to prevent. German has been taught in the public schools for many years, nnd a very Bmnll percentage of our soldiers can speak the language. The time spent in learning the language 1 wasted. I graduated in German, and subse quently resided in a German community; and I found that the most ignorant mem ber of that community knew more of the language than I did. To lenrn n foreign lnngnngc, it is necessary to live among those foreigners; nnd there nre not many loyal Americans that would like to live among the Germans in Germany at the present time, or "in the future." So fnr as "reconstruction," reforma tion and redemption nre concerned, the Germans appear to bo past redemption. If there be any literature in that lan guage of value, it can easily bo, trans lated' into our language thus Baying much time wasted in trying to lenrn a language whose alphabet makes one's eyes ache to look at it. German literature in general is not clevnting. German thought is not refin ingthe less of it for decent children the better for their morals. R. W. JONES, Eugene, Oregon, April 12, 11)18. Eu.
