CHRISTIAN VOTERS’ ATTITUDE

(Continued from Page One)

capital and labor. There la a moral side even to the economic questions. The economic question is considered by a Christian as with others yet he considers the moral question the more important. In following the discussions of the campaign he has heard one side saying the moral questions are not Issues but that: the real issue is money. The Christian voter has decided that the big question to be voted upon next Tuesday is whether America will stand by her allies or forsake them and make a separate peace with Germany and whether we will join a league to promote peace for all time to come. Note what Christian principles are set forth by the league of nations. They are co-operation to promote peace, protection of the weak na1 tions, the very thing for which Amer- ' ica entered the war, and the disarmament of nations. Here are three things for which Cnristianity has stood since Christ was born. The Christian voter cannot turn these down and fellow a leader of a party who said, “We (Republicans) are more Interested in the stomachs of men than in the hearts of the world.” (Will Hays, national Republican chairman.) Here is what Paul says, “Whose God Is their belly.” Phil. 3:19 or, “For the kingdom of Heaven Is not meat aad drink; but righteousness, and PEACE, and joy In the Holy Ghost.” Rom. 14:17. 1 Before the league of nations entered the political arena, every church • assembly which met, passed resolutions favoring It. They stand In the same place today. Their ministers are forsaking party and standing by the league of nations. You can expect some Christian people not to be big enough to turn down their party for the thing for which they have fought and preached all their Ilves. Because your minister has not spoken out from his pulpit during the campaign, does not mean that he is not for the league of nations. u . It is taken for granted that as a Christian you are for the league of nations. How are you going to vote? A vote for Harding Is a vote for a man who says, "I turn my back oil the league.” He Is In favor 0f staying out. A vote for Cox Is a vote for the league. He says, “I am In favor of going in the league.” Neither Is Gov. Cox In favor of making a separate peace with Germany. The Christian never had clearer lines drawn than this. You must vote directly against the teachings of Christ or vote for them. —A READER.

PASTOR PLEADS FOR LEAGUE AS ANSWER TO CHURCH PRAYERS

Bluffton, Ind., Oct. 27. —The Rev. Thomas Houtz, pastor of the Christian church at Murray, northeast of Bluffton, has takenfthe stump for the league of nations in the closing of the national campaign and is advocating'the election bf James M. Cox, the Democratic nominee for president? The Ret. Mk Houtz has always voted the Republican ticket and, had Intended voting it up until the present campaign. At Ossian he made the following remarks before a large crowd: "The league of nations is not a question of voting a party ticket. It is a question of a principle advocated by the Son of God. The league is a principle that will answer the prayers of the churches of all denominations and sermons from every pulpit In the land.

Prayers In Pulpits “I challenge my fellow-minis-ters in Wells county, who stood In their pulpits and prayed and worked for the league. If they believed In it then enough to t>ray for it from their pulpits Why do they not do so now? “A few weeks ago I told my wife, •T«e league is going through and we will vote the Republican ticket,’ but I say tonight that the Republican party has lost my vote and has lost my wife’s vote. “Harding—l don’t know whether he Is ’wet’ or ‘dry.’ He voted against prohibition 30 times and for it twice. He has wiggled and wabbled on that just as he has on every other question. He is a wiggler and wabbler In private life. He always was and he always will be. . It’s In the man. “The reason I am supporting the Democratic ticket Is not because I am a Democrat, but because the Democratic party is behind the greatest question ever put before the American people, or the world. It 4s a great referendum. It is not what Wilson _ thinks, or what Harding thinks, or what Cox thinks about the league, it Is what you people think about it. Heralded and Sung “I believe that If Jesus Christ , were on earth today he would say 'Go into the league,’ for it is answering the very prayer that was heralded and sung

CORN MAY BE USED AS FUEL

Fawners in Nebraska Say It Will Be Cheaper Than Coal. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.—Hundreds of thousands of bushels of corn may be burned as fuel by farmers In northern Nebraska this winter. High-priced coal and a bounteous but low-priced crop of corn Is the reason. New corn, unshelled, now brings three-fourths of a cent a pound, or sls a ton. The cheapest soft coal Is sls, and It has to be hauled. A wagon box 30 Inches high is required to hold a ton of unshelled corn and that amount makes a hotter fire and will last longer than a ton of coal.

when he came on this earth, 'Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.’ “My church has its missionaries and every church has them and we are sending millions of dollars that those in darkness may be enlightened, and I say that if the league of nations falls then the work of our missionaries and our money will be spent in vain. “I believe the league is next to the greatest document in the world, and I believe that the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by Christ himself, is the greatest document. In the league are, the answers to the very things that the Son of God< prayed for. “I lived in Ohio and I voted against Cox three times for governor. But I will say that Governor pox fulfilled every promise that he made. He is honest. Wiggle and Wabble "Harding has always wiggled and wabbled. He wiggled and wabbled while he was senator. He made great promises to the farmers. But do you know there Is not one thing he voted for that Is in the interest of the farmers. “If you are interested in making gun fodder of your boys, vote against the league. If you are not, vote for It. “Vote Independently of poli-. tics. Vote because of the principles involved and I know you will vote for the league of nations on Nov. 2.”
