SBIMS SAYS A STIFF FRONT
WOULD HAVE STOPPED U. S.
Washington, Mar. 16.—A little
“pluff” on the part of the Germans in
1918 at the critical point of the war
would have paralyzed the transporta
tion of soldiers and war materials
from this country to Europe, Admiral
Sims told the senate committe today.
Information from authentic sources
jndicating that the Germans were
building twe heavily armed battle
cruisers for a desperate last hope raid
against the troop shop convoys was
transmitted to the navy departwent,
Sims said, and immediately he was
besieged with cablegrams frem Wash
ington outlining various plans of ac
tion, all of which were impracticable
he said. .
Although such a continuance had
not been under discussion for nearly
a vear, there had been ample time to
prepare for it.

REVIVAL PREACHER
DR. ANDREW SLEDD CARRIES
CONVICTION IN SERMONS
By Rev. T. B. Stanford 3
The :neetings at the Methodist |
chureh grow in interest both Dr.
Andrew Sledd, ana Miss ({uudull‘!
hove showa them seives to be real
servants, ot the Lord, and the ;{m;pvl‘
as preathed and sung by them is in |
the power and demonstration of thcg
Spirit. Theose who have heard llu-m.!
are impressed by their manifest earn-|
estness, and sincerity. 1
Dr. Sledd is a ripe scholar, and a )n'n‘:
found, yet simple, preacher of the old
gospel. He ‘believes that the gospel is
the nower of Ged unto salvation, a|
salvation that saves from sin, to a lih-‘
of godlinegss. His sermons yesterday |
and last night were masterful inter
pretations of the Word, and were well
received. The alter was filled with
earnest seekers alter God, and His
power to save and to keep. At the
cvening services, Dr. Sledd pictured
the effects of sin, not sins, but sin,
sin in its heiniousness, as shown in
the hetrayal and crucifixion of our
Lerd and he showed that many today,
who are outwardly religious were in
spirit sharers of the sin of the Phari
sees, Saddenes and the thoughtless
crowds of Jerusalem that cried for
the blood of the Messiah.
Great good is being accomplished
by the mectings, and they are sure to
grow in interest and powep from day
to day. For such preaching of the
truths of the Bible, free from all nar
row sectarian biase, and bigotry, will
be used of Ged to establish His king
dom. The people of Cordele have an
exceptional opportunity to hear g
real preacher and teacher of the
' Word. Services at 3:30 and 7:45 P.
‘M. each day through the week.
