passed, a human soul that lived as you and I, a human soul that had
rights that had been trampled upon, and who attempted to voice those
things.

"With all the oratory he can display Mr. Cooley will read the song,
'Christians at War.' A song that Mr. Thompson designated as a satire.
You recollect that when the European war broke out both parties in that
conflict called to their aid and said they were acting under divine
guidance; that the Kaiser was fighting under the name of God, and that
