To the Loyal Legions.

DEAR CHlLDREN:-There is an cid
saying that cit is not safe to swap
horses while crossing stream" yet
our dear Mrs. Chunn, who has served
you SO faithfully, is compelled to give
you to me for while. l am very
glad to, have you, as it makes me hap
Ply to be helpful to young people. I
have always found the children ready
for every good work, but | want to
ask you to take for one of your
notices, "God is my helper Do
every good deed "In His Name, "
and He will surely give you the
needed strength and wisdom in this
work for humanity. Do not depend
upon your superintendent; try and
be self-reliant so far as conducting
your meetings is concerned. Mrs.
Chace has requested me to tell you of
Co. E, of the Beebe Division of Ar
kansas. l will do SO for your encour-
agement, and with the hope that other
superintendent will write me of their
Legions, that | may tell you in the
future for our mutual benefit, for it is
very helpful for us to know that others
are interested in the work. This does
not prevent us from doing daily many
good deeds that are known to God
alone. There are 1870 children who
60 out daily with ~ promise that [
will say some kind word and do some
kind thing every day during the year,
and l will ask God to help me to keep
this promise" With such a senti-
ment in the heart good deeds cannot
be numbers in this world, but God
will bring all to light.
The superintendent of the Beebe
Legion was taken from them, and
they felt much discouraged, yet they
met regularly, transacted their bust
ness and encouraged weak members
to be strong. They gave an interest,"
ing entertainment under the manage
ment of their president, Carrie Sadler,
and secretary, Alice West, which re-
Aected much credit and yielded them
enough money to buy four dozen
Marching Songs No. 2. They also
sent their president to the State Con-
vention. Their secretary walked
miles to get Slgners to a petition
which excluded jugs from our depot.
1t would consume too much time and
space to tell you of the good deeds
of the different members of the LIE
gion. They open their services by
repeating Scripture texts and prayer.

trees with presents for friendless

cider; refuse to take whisky when

Now, dear children, take these texts
and notices with you and practice
them in your homes and at school.
Learn while young to practice what
you preach. Some of my Legion
children met at the home of our W.
G. T. U. president, few evenings
ago, for a dolls tea-party. When
gathered around the table all bowed
their heads and in concert repeated
their Legion Bible text-"Overcome
Evil with Good"
Many of the Legion children have
bad tempers, but they have learned
to say, "Get behind me Satan,o and
it acts like charm to put them in
good humer. The parents of many
of the children practice the good les
sons learned at the Legion. They
have learned all of the songs in
Marching Songs No. 1, and now we
use No. 2. They use Band of Hope
Manuels, and some take the Crusader.
They sent seven dollars for the "Ne-
braska Amendment" and have
pledged S. for the Temperance Tenn
pie. They received the State Prize
banner last year and sent it to Chi
cago to be used at the laying of the
cornerstone. They give every year
to the State work, and are busy now
planning for the New Year.
Now, children, let us recensecrate
our lives to Jesus and resolve to fght
King Alcohol and Prince Nicotine
with renewed energy and zeal.
If these words meet the eyes of a
boy or girl who lives in a town where
there is no Loyal Temperance Legion,
do not rest until the good sisters help
you to organize one. Remember the
Master calls for you.

METHODIST DOCTRINE and
DISCIPLINE.
Freedom Of the wilI.

Rev. ID. W. G. Mclntire, preached
the fifth Of his series Of ermoD Sun
day evening from the following text:
81 have set life and death before your
blessing and cursing therefore choose
life that both thou and thy seed may
live.-Deut. 30:l9.
Here and in numerous other places,
the Scriptures teach us that mans do.
ings are not determined by the DEGREES
Of God.
We have no power to prevent the
diyinely appointed effects of our ac-
tons, but we have the power to choose
whether our actions shall be such as
bring blessing OF cursing. 1t is thus we
become the architects of our W char
acter and the author of our W des-
tiny. This is due to the "Freedom of
the WILL" by which is meant that man
has power to act in any one of different
ways us he may determine,
J.. That mans will is free is taught
in the Scriptures.
l. They set good and evil before
him, and exhort him to make his own
choice.-Gen. All; Joshua 24:l5; lisa.
55:1; John 3:20-2l; Rev. 22:17.
3. The Scriptures charge man with
his own destruction.-Hosea 1879; l4:l;
Luke 19;41.44.
II. That mans will is free is evil
dent from II W personal conscious
ness. Every one is conscious that he
possessed the power to act differently
from what he has.
III. That the will is free is evident.
from the way we regard virtue and vice.
l. We approve in men the virtues
they choose. We do not praise them
for excellencies, that are not the result
of choice. We call ~benev0lehce a
virtue, because nan could have been
~penurious. We call physical perfec-
lions good fortune, lie neither wills,
nor refuses them.
2. We condemn men for vice.
Falsehood is Il vice, because man Il
speak the truth if they will to do so.
We do not call a physical defect OIL. nat
u,al insanity vice, because We had no
choice in these matters.
2. We feel ourselves under no moral
obligation to do what we have not the
power to do. Solomon's wisdom was
esteemed a virtue, and rewarded be-
cause he chose it rather than the lives
of his enemies, riches; &C., III. Chron.
icles-1:7-12.
~. The will may become enslaved,
Romans 1892. BY long indulgence
of the appetites of the flesh, they be-
come master of the will. This is an
unnatural relation, but it is frequently
seen. A mar may by giving away to
to the prosperity to deceive his fellows
get to lie unconsclously. The drunk
ard is an illustration of the slavery of
the will. When the will IL enslaved,
grace divine alone can set it free from
the dominion of the lesh.-R0mans

Jolly PICNIC,

Emmanuel Sunday School held a pic
mic in Divers Woods OIL Wednesday
and it was q grand success. The woods
was made merry with plenty of music
by the PENIS Grove Brass and Flute
Bands and all were well-fed with pot
pie and other good things, free OF
charge, besides all members of the
School under IL were treated.
The young folks made merry with
games and swinging and jolly romps
and the old folks engaged in social
chat.
Rev. j. Y. Dobbins did not put in an
appearance but Revs. r. j. Patterson
and Rev. d. w. C. McIntire cheered
the audience with humorous "cbin
music" much more pleasing than an
oratorical address. Over 200 ate din
ner and about as many took supper.
About 500 we're on the ground in the
afternoon.
1t was a good old-fashioned jolly pic
mic which will long be remembered
with pleasure by many.
