Protect Soldiers, Not

"One of the most Important discoveries
of the day Is that when the soldier man
has been carefully and painstakingly se

should be protected from disease from

HOSPITAL SHIP TWICE
ATTACKED BY U-BOAT
ficial Report Made of Re
cent Encounter. i
Each Time Unsuccessfully Of-
London, March 14. Tha hospital
ship' Guilford Castle was attacked un
successfully by a submarine in the
Bristol channel on March 10, it was
announced Officially today. The state
ment follows:
"The British hospital ship Guilford
Castle, Captain Thomas M. Lang, R.
N. R., homeward bound, was unsuc
cessfully attacked by an enemy sub
marine at the entrance to the Bristol
channel at 5:35 p.m. on March 10. She
was flying Red Cross flags and had all
the hospital lights on.
"Two torpedoes were fired at the
Guilford Castle, the first missing and
the second hitting the vessel's bow.
Although badly damaged she was able
to reach port There were many sick:
and wounded on board, who were
transferred to a hospital."
This is the second submarine attack
on British hospital ships recently. A
fortnight ago the Glenart Castle was
sunk in. the Bristol channel, about 150
lives being lost The sinking, an offi
cial announcement said, was a viola- ,
tion of the German pledgre as to the
immunity - of hospital ships in that
area. The Guilford Castle ista steam
ship of 8,036 tons gross. The Bristol
channel, in which the attack was
made, is an arm of the Atlantic ex
tending into the southwestern part of
Great Britain between Wales and
England.
HYPOCRITES IN CHURCH
CAUSE CHRISTIANS SHAME
Rev. Luther Bridger Preaches
Forceful Sermon on "Can
Christians Sin?"
"Can Christians Commit Sins?" wns
the subject Rev. Luther Brldgers se
lected for his text of Wednesday
night's sermon at Centenary church,
where he is conducting a revival. Tho
sermon was forceful and carried with
it lesons to be observed not only by
those out of the church but by the
membership generally.
He called attention to the appalling
lack of prayer and Bible reading,
which he said was the cause of apathy
in spirit and the perfunctory service
of Christians.
He said a person who is not a Chris
tian has no right to be a church' mem
ber. Religion has become such a
cheap thing that all It means to some
people is to be a member of a church
or a follower of some creed, then to
continue uninterrupted pursuit of a
sinful life. He said that the fact that
there were hypocrites in the church
caused true Christians to hang their
heads in shame, yet there never was a
church nor never will be one in which
all members will do their ful share of
duty and lead the lives they should.
However, said the preacher, there was
no half way ground between a sinner
and a Christian a person must be
one or the other. He cannot be a sin
ner and a Christian at the same time.
"Religion," he said, "is a living,
vital, positive force, which can be seen
In every avenue of life, or it is noth
ing. It is expressed in a conquering,
victorious, separated life. The person
who snys he is a sinless perfectionnlist
Is a liar, as well as the one who ci lima
that he cannot keep from sinning, ii
is just bound to do it. Some have said
the latter so many times they have
made themselves believe it until try
practice it. This gives the world tbi
wrong idea of Jesus Christ and brings
the church into shameful disgrace."
A feature of the revival services is
the singing under the direction of E. 1..
Wolslngel, who hns organized a chorus
choir of young people and also a chil
dren's choir. The preacher himself is
a sweet singer and his solos and duet"
with Mr. Wolslagel at each service are
greatly enjoyed by the large congicga
tlons which have been attending the
services both night and morning dur
ing the week. These services will con
tinue throughout this nnd next week
and perhaps longer if the interest
Justifies.
