Here's what is intended to be a constructive warning to folks which might conceivably lessen the possibility this country might become involved in another European Our so-called neutrality legislation, now nearing repeal, was the outgrowth of that wave of emotionalism. Neutrality is all right.

Peace is highly desirable. But the trouble ihe legislation passed under whip and spur of the crusaders was that it promoted neither neutrality nor peace, iit did help aggressors and dictators. It probably determined the outcome of the Spanish civil war. It has helped Japan in her raid on China. It probably encouraged Hitler to start the present war.

It is well that the is on the way out. it w'as a fine example of what sometimes happens when emotions are used instead of reason. BAPTISTS. The dedication Sunday of the First Baptist Church building m.eans more than the observance of an occasion of special interest to the congregation immediately concerned. A church means something in a community.

No enterprise can be carried on successfully under the auspices of a Christian church without producing some very definite reactions in the whole life of the community. It would be out of place here to recall the history of the building enterprise of the Baptist Church or of the growth of the congregation. It is appropriate, however, to make mention of the obvious reasons for the success of this spleu- did enterprise. It was brought about because somie people believed a need existed and were determined to meet that need. The out standing thing about the whole undertaking, ever, is that the m.embers of the First Baptist congregation a turn of mind in refused to their policies to fit The same depression and the short crops have been experienced' rather good bunch of bail play- by people here in as others have ex-! perienced.

In addition to a personal acquaintance with the writer, Mr. Hoekersmith treasures the following reply to a letter he once wrote Read seeking certain volumes of the author's work.
