KUEHLMANN AGAINST SUB POLICY
THE HAGUE, Aug. 6.—In a newspaper sketch of Dr.
Kuehlmann, new German foreign secretary, it is stated
that he has been a vigorous opponent of ruthless subma
rine warfare, and that he believes in doing everything
possible to avoid further alieniation of Great Britian.
Kuelmann has stated that friendship between Ger
many and Great Britain after the war is highly essential
to Germany. Kuehlmann is an anti-annexationist and the
newspaper quoted expressed its belief that he will do his

tion of this appointment is needed under the act estab

Christian Church
Mrs. Munro chose as her text for the
Sunday evening worship the passage
from Mark: “The chief priests, the
scribes and the elders * * * said unto
him, by what authority dost thou do
these things?” The Jewish people
were at this time subject to Roman
rule, represented in the procurator
Pointius Pilate. While the Hebrews
“paid tribute to Ceasar,” yet they
obeyed their own ruler, the represen
tatives of their religion; the Phari
sees, Sadducees, scribes and elders.
These various orders had become so
accustomed to obedience that they had
come to consider themselves the court
of final appeal in all religious laws and
practcies. Having mastered the Jew
ish law they based their authority
upon this knowledge.
Then comes Jesus, who ignores alike
their authority and that of the Cea
sars, and presumes to set his own
teachings over against theirs, and he
was obeyed. Not only that, He takes
charge of the temple and says what
shall and what shall not be done in it.
No wonder the chief rulers are shock
ed! No wonder they asked, “By what
authority?” Jesus had the only au
thority needed then or since to dictate
human actions. He had the authority
of a perfect life, of a clear conscience
purged of any self-seeking or policy.
Christ offers that same authority to
day to any of his followers who are
willing to pay the price. A few years
ago President Wilson offered John R.
Mott a most important amtassador
ship, but Mr. Mott refused, saying that
he felt he had a greater work to do as
President of the Y. M. C. A. Today we
are all thanking Mr. Mott tor the
splendid work the Y. M. C. A. is doing
for our army and those of our Allies.
To just the extent that we pay the
price, to just that extent will we have
authority and power.

Methodist Church
* Divine Source of Redemption”
was the theme at the Methodist church
Sunday evening. Text, I Timothy
1:15.
“It depends a great deal,” Rev. Pat
ton said, “how an act or deed of hero
ism came to be perfromed as to the
amount of honor in men’s lives who
hold chief distinction in the world’s
history. If Hobson had been compell
ed to sink the vessel in the channel in
an attempt to block the Spanish fleet,
the world would think but little of his
act. The text tells us that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sin
ners, so we at once grasp the facts
as so many times repated in the Bi
ble that our Saviour had a willing pur
pose in coming to earth. He realized
that wicked men would put him to
death. Christ announced that fact
early in his ministry. He makes it
CABARET TOO MUCH FOR
AGEI) ARMY OFFICER
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 12, (Mail
Correspondence).—Capt. F. C. Desum
ichrast, 73, English army officer and
a former Harvard professor, who is
in St. Louis to make several addresses
on England’s side of the war and con
ditions in general, could not reconcile
bare legged cabaret with patriotism.
He departed abruptly, without having
delivered hi$ scheduled address, from
a banquet of the Rotary Club at Sap
pington Inn.
The first part of the program was
a military tableau of the spirit of
1917 and was very interesting. Then
came a group of young women in
scant attire who danced and sang and
sat on the laps of the men, hugging
them, and at this juncture the captain
left.

very plain in John 3:14, also in such
passages as Matthew 16:21. It has
been no easy matter, this redemption
of the world. It began with the death
of Jesus Christ. It still costs to carry
this blessed gospel; nevertheles, Christ
realized that men would be ready to
go to any part of the world to declare
this unprecedented love to a sin-cursed
world.”
