Who Will be our Next Presiden!

Politicians are now planning for
the presidential campaign of 1900,
but the war has so Overshadowed all
other matters that politics is almost
unnoticed. Many people are of the
opinion that the candidates will be
the same as in 1896, but there may
be dark horse" who will win the
race. Popularity has much to do
with candidates. This is also true
with medicine. The most popular
remedy to-day is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and it has retained this
for many years, Science never dis
covered the equal OF this medicine
for stomach, liver and kidney dis
eases. 1t builds up solid flesh tissue,
imparts vigor and vitality to all
organs, and makes life worth living,
A bottle will make big change for
the better. Try it.

BAKER SPRINGS. Sept. 2, 1898.

BAKER SPRINGS, Sept. 2, 1898.
Oh if you want to see nature in
its picturesque beauty, see Baker
Springs by moonlight
Miss Nettie Smith came up Mon
day to spend several days with her
friend, Miss Mildred Moore. Miss
Nettie is delighted with Baker,
and its beautiful surroundings.
Mr.. Charlie Moore, the charming
beau of Baker Springs, came in last
evening, aud We are glad to have
HIM with us again, to awaken the
old interest in the "Tater vine and
Ocean Wave" which had almost
abated during his absence.
Glad to see among the new arri-
yals the handsome torn of Major
Mitchell, the editor of the Arkan-
sas Democrat, who is here for quite
a while. He pronounces the water
equal to that of Virginia, and the
climate superior to places of great
er notoriety, haying spent part of
the summer at different resorts.
He said last night was the most
pleasant one he had spent in three
months.
Diversions never cease-and the
launching of the little boat given
by Col. Hayden to the guests OF
Baker Springs, afforded us all quite
a pleasant day on August 81. In,
terest was taken in the completion
of the little boat from the Begin
ming to the finish, Every one re.
paired to the pavilion and from
there a merry crowd proceeded tc
Bakers Fork, a tributary of the
Cossatot River, to launch the
schooner. When all we're gathered
and silence reigned supreme, Mrs
Mary Flye slipped out from among
us and as the little boat was pushed
from its mooring, she broke bot
tie of Baker Springs water oyer the
bow and said SIN the name ot
the United States of America anC
Baker Springs, l chrlsten this boat
The Flyer, long may she float
and never sink.
Col. Somervell is expected tonight
and also DR.. John A. Lightfoot
The gentlemen spend the days il
fishing and hunting. They brought
in some fine fish, and Yenison is
quite plentiful, twelve to fifteen
deer having been killed by parties
in the country.
Col. Hayden and Mr.. Henry
Moore, Jr,. we're among the arriv.
ais Sunday night.
On Wednesday last gay crowd
of eleven chaparoned by Mrs. Pau
Jones, joined Mr.. Henry Moore,
Jr., at the Springs, who, by his
skillful aid, led the way over the
mountain to the river beyond. A
jolly day was spent on the banks,
gathering mussel shells and crystals.
Mr.. and Mrs, Ben Foreman haye
gone to their home in Texarkana to
spend short time, and we are glad
to know of their return Monday.
DR.. Beagle has returned home.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
Rev. B. E. Howard on the Faith of
Abraham

At the First Presbyterian church yes
terday morning the theme of Rev. Burt
Estes Howard's brief discourse was the
call of Abraham to go out from his faith
er's house, his obedience to the call, his
work and its influence on his people
This was especially significant and rel
evant to the occasion, as the sermon was
preliminary to the gifted speakers res
ignation as pastor of the church, which
followed the sermon. The text was
taken from Hebrews, ix:S, and the dis
course was as follows:
by faith Abraham, when he was
called, obeyed to go out unto a place
which he was to receive for an Inherit
ance; and he went out, not knowing
whittier he went"
when and where this man was born
into the world we do not know. A few
vague, broken whispers of tradition, a
meager list of names purporting to be
his genealogy, and sentence or two Of
record, vainly try to tell the story of his
earlier years. Full Of days, and at an
age when men are wont to begin to
loosen their hold upon life's activities,
was Abraham born into history. Sew
enty and five years had he lived and la
bored, treading the ways of his fathers,
when something entered into his life
which changed the whole course and
meaning of it. What that something
was and how it seized this man and
mastered him we can only conjecture.
The story handed down is brief: Now,
the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out
of thy country and from thy kindred and
from thy fathers house, unto the land
which l will shew thee So Abram went
as the Lord had spoken unto him." In
what way this voice of the Lord" spoke
to him we do not know. Whether, in the
years Of his quiet life there had been
growing strange ideas which finally
shaped themselves in mighty convic-
ton of duty, or whether one of those
nameless impulses that sometimes
sweep into the soul of a man suddenly
gripped him and shook him loose from
the ties of his old life, and sent him
forth under it's spell into unknown and
untried ways, l cannot tell 1t does not
matter. Somehow a mighty call sound
ed in his conscience. 1t rose high above
the voices of his kinsmen. 1t dulled the
bleating of his flocks and the lowing Of
his herds. 1t rang like a trumpet-note
over the drowsy altars of his fathers
gods He listened and followed It, His
was no hero-spirit, fired with the fever
ish lust of conquest, nor was he tainted
with the madness of ambition.
"The character of Abraham is too sim
pie and natural, too true and morally ma
jestic, to form an epic. He was not q
perfect man; he sinned sometimes and
stumbled. But he looms above his
times, which We're full of both hdeous
decay and vast potency, as the best Of
ferlng that humanity for long ages
could make to God" For, as DIR. Dods
we'll says, with Abraham there opens a
new chapter in the history of the race; a
chapter Of the profoundest significance
The consequences of Abraham's move
ments and beliefs have been linitless

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
Rev. Jones' Subject The Brotherhood
of Man

At the Central Presbyterian church
Rev, ]. r. Jones, the pastor. preached
from Acts xvii, &c: "And hath made of
one blood all nations of men," The
brotherhood of man was the theme. He
said, in part:
"The doctrine of the brotherhood of
man finds practical application in the
rise of social organizations in efforts
for the amelioration Of mankind, in the
increasing charity for the opinions of
others, and in the broadening tendency
to national arbitration. Social, national
and racial barriers are being lowered
and abolished. The day is coming, is
almost here. when men shall brothers
be the world Ger. The brotherhood Of
man means a kindred nature. The Bib
lical record Of the nature Of man must
stand over that of materialism. Matter
knows no kinship. In brute beast the
higher affections are wanting; but for
man, created in the image of God, en-
dowed with reason, approaching the
beautiful in nature and in life. brother
hood is his portion. The towering peaks
of heroic manhood rise from our som-
mon humanity. A common moral ma
ture also makes the world akin. Con-
science Is UNIVERSAL; spiritual life Is
Gods gift to man. Goodness is pos
sible to those who bear the image of the
heavenly. To understand the brother
hood of man, circumstances and ex-
ternal conditions must be overlooked,
and the internal and essential nature
of man must be brought into the light.
Externally, men are diverse; internally,
they are akin.
brotherhood involves brotherliness;
kinship enjoins kindness. A common
nature demands helpfulness and fellow
ship. The harsh conditions under which
our brothers labor touch US; they are
ours. Nothing human is foreign to us.
We are obligated to render material, in
tellectual and spiritual assistance. The
destitute slum dwellers need pure air
and sunlight, clean environment, con-
ditions that shall enable them to be
strong physically. Education should be
the lot of all. We are responsible for the
intellectual development of humanity;
we may guide and direct it. But the true
brother is he who gives to the hungry
the bread of life. the enlightenment and
strength Of a moral and spiritual life.'

The Religion of Christ the
Social Solvent
A SERMON BY REV. C. 1. MEL
ABRAHAM'S CALL TO LEAVE THE
HOME OF HIS FATHERS
Division of Labor as Expounded by
Rev. David Walk-Sunday Ser
mons From Other Pulpits

Rev. Charles L. Mel occupied the pull.
pit of ST. Paul's church yesterday morn
ing and delivered a sermon Introductory
to series of services to be held the first
three days of this week in Guild hall
The general subject of these sermons
is: 1.-The Church and Religion of Jesus
Christ the Only Solvent Of Social In
equalitics."
The speaker took as his text Exodus
i, 32: "And when the people saw Moses
delayed to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves unto
Aaron and said unto him: Up, make us
gods which shall go before us; as for
this Moses, the man that brought us up
out of the land of Egypt, we wot not
what Is become of him.
This history" said Mr.. Mel, in part,
"tells of a revolution among the Jews,
| which resulted in three acts of the
drama-national apostacy, national Ii
centiousness and national strife-and
| the essence of it is a nation rejecting
God and Gods law; a nation plunged in
| Righteousness and civil war.
First we see nation breaking away
| its faith from it's national principles. and
the actors were the priests and the peo-
| pie. The people set the priests to devils
| ing a national religion. The instigators
of this priestcraft were the people, not
the priests.
"The same cry comes from the people
today, but high above the priests and
the people stands the law. The cause
of the impatience of the old Israelites
with their faith was the disappearance
of their leader. They wanted some
thing tangible. The heart of man seeks
the visible The idol that men worship
now is some human trait that they deify
as God. If we take any ideal lower than
| the best and truest, we become base and
sensual. The idols we Americans are in
| danger of worshiping are public opinion,
| devotion to party, the coarse idolatry
| of life, the love of money. The theft of
authorizations, trickery in merchandise,
| unfaithfulness in public trusts are, in the
sight of God, the work of low-born
thieves and robbers.
Consider how all this idolatry de-
frauds the workingman of his wages.
AS true as God is in heaven above, it is
| the selfish rich and corrupt politician
| who are our menace today and who will
corrupt and split our national corner
stone. Is there not great danger that
this great nation, after worshiping its
idols, shall rise up to find the last act
in the drama fratr1cidal strife, an
avenging judgment that has forgotten
God? Well will it be for the nation if it
learns the lesson before it is too late.
May we each one lay it seriously to
heart and so avoid the shame and sin of
a national Judgment

and enduring. All succeeding time has
been Influenced by him. Among all the
forgotten millions of his own time he
stands alone a recognizable figure. But
around his figure there gathers no
! throng of armed followers, with his
name no vast territorial dominion, no
new legislation, not even any work OF
literature or art is associated. The sig
nificance of his life was not military,
nor legislative. nor literary, but relig-
ious.' His greatness was moral great
ness. and that which gave it fiber was
his fidelity to what he believed to be the
right.
Tradition has 1t, with how much truth
do not know. that Abrahams father
was a dealer in idols, and that Haran,
his brother, lost his life in attempting
to save the gods from a burning temple.
1t may be that in his musings there had
dawned upon the soul of Abraham
| thought of the one God who is Lord of
heaven and earth, and that as the idea
possessed him more and more there de-
veloped in his mind firm belief that he
had been called to establish new people
who should serve this God No longer
was there a place for him and his house
hold before the shrine of the ancestral
gods. Determined to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own con-
science. and believing that tribal life
organized in this larger faith would be
abundantly blessed. he abandoned his
lands, his fathers house and his country
and faced the future.
There is something that makes the
pulses leap. and the nerves tingle. In the
| Of 70 nd nl1 he
gathers his household about him, and,
lifting the Pickering rushlight of prom
Use above his head, forges out into the
dark-not knowing whittier he went
fares forth into the wilderness because
he believes that God has work for him
to do out there in the unknown. There
is something that kindles our soul in the
vision of a man who believes that God
has a place and a use for him in the
world, and who puts himself at COO
disposal; who enters upon life refusing
to be bound by the circumstances OF his
upbringing, by the expectations or his
friends,by prevailing customs. by pros
poets of gain and advancement among
men and resolved to listen to the highest
voice of all, to discover what God has for
him to do upon earth, beneves
in the call of God to himself, VINO aoInits
it into the springs of his conduct, and
recognizes that for him the highest life
his conscience can suggest is the only
life he can live-no matter how cum
brous and troublesome and expensive
the changes involved in entering it,
This experience of Abraham's is not
unique nor is it solitary. This converg-
ing of intimations and suggestions, of
wonderings and musings, into one clear
call to service and sacrifice is Gods
process of making history. There comes
a dayunto us alto institutions as well as
men, when the whispers and confused
muttering of divine voices grow swiftly
articulate in the thundertones of an inn
perative duty"
