“WORLD'S CHALLENGE 
TO AMERICA” 
SuBjEcT oF Forum LeEctuRE At MAc- 
NOLIA CHURCH. 
“The World’s Challenge to Amer- 
ica” was the subject of Dr. Loyal 
Lincoln’s Wirt’s lecture at the Vil- 
lage church, Magnolia, last Sunday 
night. This was the sixth lecture that 
Dr. Wirt has given under the aus- 
pices of “The People’s Forum” and 
for nearly two hours he held his audi- 
ence almost spell-bound. ‘The lecture 
was timely, able and eloquent. He 
characterized the German Kaiser as 
the anti-Christ and forcefully answer- 
ed the “conscientious objectors” to 
war. He said in part: 
“And what are the followers of 
Christ to do when anti-Christ says to 
his legions, “Thou shalt kill; thou 
shalt kill innocent women and _ chil- 
dren by dropping high explosives 
from Zeppelins upon peaceful vil- 
lages; thou shalt kill defenceless neu- 
trals bent upon errands of mercy, 
sleeping peacefully in their cabins up- 
on the high seas, hurl them by the 
thousands to the sharks and the arms 
of the cold sea by the submarine’s 
fateful shaft. Moses said “Thou shalt 
not commit adultery,” but I say unto 
you raze every city and village, flood 
every mine, cut down every fruit tree, 
poison the wells, and drive off the 
women to a fate worse than death. 
““It has been said of old “thou 
shalt not steal,” but I say unto you, 
“Steal the fair land of Belgium, steal 
the happiness, prosperity and freedom 
of all our neighbors, steal a large slice 
of the Chinese Empire, and in the do- 
ing of it so deport yourselves that the 
Chinese shall for a thousand years be 
unable to think of Germany without 
trembling. More, let the world know 
that you are of the race of the Huns 
and that your Kaiser claims the rein- 
carnated spirit of Attila, the fiend and 
robber.” 
“Tt is written “Thou shalt not bear 
false witness against thy neighbor,”

but I say unto you, “Thou shalt swear 
falsely against Serbia, and against 
Belgium, and against United States 
of America. With show of friendli- 
ness, thou shalt plot falsely against 
our long suffering friend; thou shalt 
suborn witnesses and tell Japan and 
Mexico lying statements about Amer- 
ica and so increase hatred and trouble 
im the, earth.4 
““<Ouroreatmeteacner ms bletociiine, 
has told us that Covetousness is a na- 
tional virtue. Therefore, I say unto 
you, “Thou shalt covet they neighbor’s 
house, and his wife, and his servants, 
and his cattle, and his commerce, and 
his prosperity, and his lands, and all 
that is thy neighbor’s.’”’ 
“Does history repeat herself? Have 
we been standing afar off amidst these 
thunderings and lightnings? Some of 
us have. Some have been bewildered. 
Some were not sure of the right. 
Some were too proud to fight. Some 
have been crying ‘peace, peace,’ when 
there was no peace. 
“But says the conscientious objec- 
tor ‘You have been trying to square 
us with the law of Moses. We know 
no law, save the law of Christ, who 
said ‘‘Love your enemies.” ’ 
“T accept the challenge squarely. 
Let us not hedge or try to explain 
away these words. We must accept 
their true spirit and import if we are 
to acknowledge their author as Lord 
and Master. 
“IT suppose a declaration of war 
makes the German people our en- 
emies. At least in a legal and mili- 
tary sense. Yet, what man or woman 
in this audience has any feeling of 
enmity or hatred toward the brave, 
patriotic misdirected German soldier? 
Or, who indeed has any feeling other 
than love and pity for the suffering 
women and children of the Father- 
land? If the German people are our 
enemies, then I say, we love our en- 
emies. What! can one love the 
Kaiser? My feeling toward the Ger- 
man Emperor is the same as_ that 
which I hold toward Harry Thaw or 
the bandit, Villa, or any other more 
or less insane brigand who preys upon 
the rights of human society. 
“Love them? Yes—but love them 
best behind prison bars where their 
warped and biased minds can no long- 
er bring sorrow and trouble to 
others.” 
“This world owes everybody a liv- 
bs o ” 
ing. 
“True; but neither you nor I seem 
to be preferred creditors.”
