Kaiser Uses Name of God to Help in Ambitions
A Universalist pastor denounces Kaiser Wilhelm II, accusing him of exploiting the name of God to justify ambitions, while describing his regime as driving atrocities and war goals. The sermon contrasts Christ as God’s interpreter with the Kaiser's claims, urging sacrifice for soldiers and a broader view of freedom. Separately, James Barnes and Gil Nichols defeated Jock Hutchinson and Chick Evans in an 18 hole four-ball for Red Cross funds at South Shore.
