"Human Editorial" Talks
MISS RICHARDS JS SO-CALLED

WrFW "a "a WWWWW
Discusses War's Causes
Another large audience assembled rn
the auditorium at Woodward A Lothrop's
on Monday morning iai 10 near siisa
Janet Richards discuss the vital ques
tions of the day. both home and foreign.
Miss Rlehards has been called the human
editorial, because of her faculty for cub
ing out and co-ordinating the salient
facts from the current happenings of the
day, and then transmitting them to her
audiences in what some one has called
"pleasant and palatable capsule form."
At the talk last Monday Miss Richards
began with a group of subjects of "home
interest," Including the istest phases of
the Mexican problem, describing condi
tions at Nsco, Arte., the aliased violation
of neutrality and disregard of the port
laws at the two entrances to the Panama
Canal. Col. Goethals' request for naval
Is with which to guard the isthmus.
and the question of "our naUonal d
'.
After presenting the pros and rona
concerning the foregoing subjects. Miss
Richards gave an Interesting account of
the deliberations of the Pan-Araeri-an
I'nion on Tuesday, December S. when
the diplomatic representatives of twenty
of the American republics considered the
violations of the three-mile limit in
American coast waters and other allege 1
violations of neutrality laws on the part
of the Teasels of several of the belligerent
powers.
In discussing the desirability of extend
ing ike water line beyond the present
three-Tnlle limit, Mlas Richards remln.leil
her audiences that the Peruvian Minis
ter, Senor Pexet, had gone so far as tn
propose to the conference that It shoull
recommend extending the limit of neu
trality to the very center of the Atlantic
Ocean.
"This," said Miss Richards, "IS. as you
will recall, the method of delimitation
applied to the waters of the Great Ikes
between our country and Canada, as well
as to the European lakes, but how it
could be made a practical 'working
proposition on the 'big pond' remains to
be seen."
Reverting, after the "fresh-air inter
mission, to the European wsr.
MlftM
Richards called attention to the great
war-credit of Ave billion marks (one
and a quarter billion dollars), voted
by the German Reichstag on De
cember 2, and the fact that the sole
dissenting vote was cast by the
leader of the German aoctallat. Ilerr
Karl Liebknecht. who later, explained
his vote by declaring that this war was
not desired by any of the peoplea affect
ed, nor waa it kindled tu promote the
welfare of th Germans or any other
people. The war Is a Napoleonic at
tempt to unnerve and crush the grow
ing democracy of Germany known aa
the labor movement.
That this waa the real inner cause
of the war was commented upon by
Miss Richards as a belief held in many
quarters, numerous references to which
she had coilectr, from papers, maga
zines, and editorial utterances.
She quoted from a recent editorial In
a Baltimore paper, which stated that
Just before the outbreak of the war It
had warned Its readers that the wide
spread unrest in Europe and agitation
for a broader democracy was driving
the dynasties and their supporting
classes to prefer a costly war with all
Its hazards, to the supposedly less
manageable hazards of peace under the
above named conditions.

He was in high good humor at the
time. A few minutea before he took
up the railroad matter one of hla
frlenda Jokingly reminded him of the
1100.000 breach of promise suit recently
brought against him by Mrs. I. C. War
ham, of Elmhurst. N. Y. After she
brought the suit the woman was jailed
on another charge.
"But she got out of jail," a friend re
minded him.

"Yes, and she was nabbed again and
put back again." Mr. Zimmerman
said. "I'll fix her as fast as she gets
out."
It was only a short time after this
when he toppled over and fell Into the
arms of one of the group surrounding
him.
Mr. Zimmerman was sixty-nine years
old, a veteran of the civil war, a
thirty-second degree Mason, aad a
member of the Loyal Legion.
He had planned a trip to New York
to attend to important business tomor
row, but was prevailed upon by Dr.
A. B. Thrasher, his physician, not to
make tne trip as it mignt cost him hia
life. Disregarding the advice of his
physician, Mr. Zimmerman ventured to
the club for a "chat with the boys."
He was a prince of good fellows, to
use the expression of his associates,
and always was In a Jolly mood.

"Hope thou In God!" In the midst
of all these tribulations the world must
learn more and more, until all know

no more wars, no more dying, no more

climax.
Some of the 'Peace' Peace'" sermons
of even a year ago seem laughably fool

that because God in the past haa not ex

time of trouble, which before it ends
will be the greatest trouble ever known.
The shaking, as we have already shown,
will be social, political, financial and re
ligious. The creeds, representing the
monstrous fallacies engrafted upon the
teachings of the Bible In the Dark Ages,
will be shaken to pieces, and ull the great
Institutions misnamed "churches" will be
shaken with them. Only the One True
Church will stand not the Church of
England, not the Church of Rome, not
the Church of Germany, not the Church
of Russia, but the Church of God. It
will Includ ai saintly followers of Jesua
of every nation aad denomination; and
It will exclude all others.
Peace on stare," Very soon.
How glorious the hope that Messiah's
Kingdom, backed by Divine Power, will
speedily set the world's affairs in order,
bringing peace out of confusion, war,
strife' Human strength weakened, hu
man pride humbled into the dust, hu
man hope: dished, the world will be
i-eady for the New Day the New Era.
The Bible beautifully pictures it as the
rising of the Sun of Righteousness with
healing In His beams scattering the
darkness, ignorance, superstition, sin,
death, that have caused the night of sor
row never to be forgotten.
The Lord's people, awake and looking
In the light direction, already perceive
that we are In the dawning of the Mil
lenniumthat the bieeaiags which have
come to the world during the past forty
rears are Millennial blessings, fore
glearaa of still greater fevers soon to
be poured out. These Millennial bless
ings have not brought proper responses
tn human hearts. Instead of gratitude,
the spirit of selfishness has begotten dis
content, covetousneas. which will short
ly eventuate, as the Bible tells, with
every man's hand against hla neighbor
and against his brother Exekiel 3. .31;
Zecharlah 8:10.
"I Causae ot ia Sead Peace."
But do the Scriptures contradict them
selves? What did the Great Teacher
mean when - .e declared, "I came not to
send peace on the earth, but a sword4"
(Matthew 10.34.1 He referred prophetical
ly to the effect which His gracious Mes
sage of love snd favor would produce in
the world during the reign of Sin and
Death. He well knew that the Prince of
Darkness would oppose all of Hla fol
lowers as -veil aa Himself. He sent forth
His followers unarmed, like Himself, to
be peacemakers, to "follow peace with
all men. and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord." He counsel
led His followers that "he that taketh
the sword shall perish by the sword."
Matthew SfcSZ
But their Measase of peace, love and
the uminc Kingdom seems to anger the
world not merely the vicious, the un
godly, but the worldly professors of god
liness who have schemes, plans and the
ories of their own to work out which
are contrary to the Gospel Messase Tne

The attainment of the condition of good
will amongst men will mean the attain
ment of human perfection. God Is Love:

Gradually, during the thousand years of
Messiah's domination of the world, tha
evils of selfishness will be made appar

love will be shown In contrast.
Restitution rewards will lift all the
willing and obedient up out of sin and
selfishness to holiness and love. Then,
with love the very essence of man's be

uplifting, regeneration, will go rapidly
on. Meantime, generation after gen

of Cod made this provision through the
death of our Redeemer.
Finally, dear friends, how glad we
are that this Is true! How glad we are
that the terrible falsehoods palmed off
on us during the Dark Ages respecting
a God of hatred and a Hell of everlast
ing torture are not true' How glad we
are that Messiah's Kingdom will be a
Kingdom of Peace after the great time
of trouble.
