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.

kinspn, the pastor of the church and the chaplain of the Univer
sity battalion. He will be assisted by Reverend C. E. Dunham

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

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

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.

Shake Off That Grip
When Spring conies, with its change bl'. vcather
and your exposure, it is best to clear away all the
symptoms left after an attack of grip. That evil
disease leaves you weakened, and when its victim
attempts to "do bis bit" be exposes blmselftotba risk of a second
attack, for which he is less prepared, and which may have tfravar
consequences.
There's Danger in Delay
April and May are pneumonia months, In this time a weak,
ened system is a constant source of danger, for the pneumonia
and grip infections are in the air, and after a kai winter the
body is so clogged with waste it cannot tesist them. Fortify
the health, remove the catarrh, and improve the difegtloa

This reliable tonio la recommended to remove the waste
from the body, counteract the catarrhal poisons and allay the
