CONFIDENCE IN
j GOD TO WIN THE
WAR EXPRESSED
“Why Praying People Have Conn- j
tie nee to Ask (loti to Give Our Armies]
Victory” was used as the theme at the
Methodist church yesterday morning.
During the course of his address Kev.
J. .1. Patton said:
““More than three years have pass-j
ed since President Wilson set October!
4, 1014, as a day of prayer for peace.!
In that proclamation it is plainly evi-j
dent that our President was moved by
a sense of pity for suffering humanity,
together with a longing- for the na
tions of the earth to have an oppor
tunity for advancement both physical
ly and mentally, to ask the praying
people of America to pray God to re
store peace.
“As believers in a prayer answering I
God, we might superficially wonder i
why God has not, as we term it, an- J
gwered those prayers speedily. If:
peace had at once been restored, we I
as a people would have been left in
ignorance as to Germany’s attitude to- (
ward us. We would have to this day
supposed the German Emperor to have
been our friend. His veiled hand
would have never been revealed. His
sereet work with organizations in
America, inlidelic to our best interests
of democracv, would not have been
laid bare to a deceived public. His in
trigues. that we remain a military un- ;
prepared nation, would have eontin-i
ued. while Prusian militarism contin
I ued to build up an institution to ion
ijuer the world. We would have not
been permitted to know that th'*rc was
already a Prussian octopus ready to
overstep, or even break,.by violating
! all internatiomJ law in order that
“German kultur” might prevail.
“Three years have served as a
schoolmaster to open the blind eyes
of received peoples. Many who were
being duped by adder-like cunnmg
nes> are now ready to give their lives
to prevent this nation, or even the
world. from having the hands of free
dom turned back. We believe it is
| God’s will to give our armies victory.
As to how victory shall come, let
| Providence rule any way divinely hu
mane that will overthrow this defying
j monster.
“We trust in prayer because of our
lack of selfishness. Read James 4:2, 3.
We believe our nation’s prayers will
be answered from the conditions laid
down by the Apostle in Hebrews 11:6.
We are free from selfishness in this
war for humanity and freedom’s sake. I
We have no thought of land conquest j
for enlarging our borders. W.e expect
no indemnities beyond injuries receiv-j
ed. We are not-fighting for display.
The enemy forced America by cruelty j
and heartlessness as great as that of j
a Pharaoh to take up arms or flaunt
cowardice in the face of a suffering!

TOBACCO FUND
CAMPAIGN MAN
GETSA SHOCK
“You’re pinched.”
“Gosh a mighty, what had we done
now?” was the thought that went thru
the minds of the force of the business
and editorial office this morning in
The Gateway.
And right after the words “you’re
pinched,” came another grewsome re
mark. "I’m going to operate upon you
at once.”
“Pinched” and “operation.”
If that wouldn’t send a cold chill
down one’s spine and make one think
of home and mother—what wouldn't?
Hut there stood United States Dep
uty Marshal Isaac Evans and Dr. J.
II. Komig! A hard pair to draw to—
and the cards held by those addressed
went down right on the table.
Jig was up and what was the use of
protesting in view of such men and
then it all came out.
“Yes, sir. you’re pinched, for about
a minute,” said Mr. Evans, “until I
hand you this,” and then he proudly
put down on the desk a check for $20,
signed “Pioneer of Alaska, by Isaac
Evans, Treasurer.”
There it was—the Pioneers at their
regular meeting last Saturday night
unanimously voted $20 for the “light
a pipe for the boys in the trenches”
campaign. You ste there are a good
bunch in the Pioneers and they know
what a smoke means and—well, they
appreciated what a U. S. soldier, in
the trenches would miss without his
tobacco. Bully fellows, the Pioneer.-,
a class of men, who realize, then think,
and quickly act
And after Mr. Kvans had explained
his little errand, we got ready for the
“operation.” It really wasn't an oper
ation for appendicitis, gout or an in
growing grouch, hut Dr. Romig un
f«W«*d a five-dollar bill and said that
it was from the “Romig family for the
tobacco fund.”
That’s a might good start for Mon
day and on the final drive for the fund
to end next Thursday noon. Those
were the two subscriptions to noon to
day and right after the list had been
checked, more came in, but that will
be recorded tomorrow and—how many
more wlil be on the list ?
Remember this—if you do not want
your name to made public, we can fix
that in the otlice, just so that you will
know, hut the boys in the trenches
will get the tobacco.
And the grand total has now reach
ed the sum of $121.50.

son his food and he went to Unga
about two months ago. Aside from his
“poison” mania, Cody is perfectly
harmless. Pending advices from Val
