Tilings to Think About
By W H Drake
Since President Roosevelts Second
Inaugral Address there has been much
talk about our duty to defend religion
One js led to think that the slogan of
the next war will be Make the World
Sate for Religion But it should be said
that the Christian Religion will never
be defended b the Soldiers of Caesar
If Christianity is defended it will be by
the Soldiers of tho Cross who are
today rendering deeds < f mercy oil the
battlefields by binding up wounds and
feeding the hungry and by ministering
to thu need of tlose who are persecuted
by Caesar and his soldiers
