THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIER"
Address by Rev. A. F. Irvine at tn
 Y. M. c. A.

|
 Address by Rev. A. F, Irvine at the
 Y. M. C. A.
 At the rooms of the Young Mems Christian association Sunday after noon Rev. Alexander F. Irvine spoke or the subject "The Christian Soldier | His discourse the week before on | Christianity and War" was a very fit ing introduction to this address. In al l luding to his address of the previous Sunday Mir Irvine said that he had l heard from it from all parts of the country, Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and smaller cities, and in every case he was commended for giv- ing what he believed the New Testa- ment taught upon the subject of war as the means of settling disputes between nations. One local minister, who heard the address, suggested to MT. Irvine that it be printed in pamphlet form. No one as yet had disputed single state- l ment.
 l The text of MT. Irvine's address of yesterday was from II Tim. 2, 8: Thou, therefore, endure hardness as a good l soldier of Jesus Christi Everything | that Christ saw He made use of in il- frustrating the truth of His teachings. So it was with Paul. He was familiar with war, and in giving advise to Tl1l4- othy young preacher, he made use of this knowledge. You are all familiar with General Shermans statement that War is he'll Sherman was in a posi- tion to know something about war, and spoke the truth when he uttered those words, but, notwithstanding the fact that war from the Christian standpoint is wrong, some of the grandest men of the world have participated in it " The speaker then called attention to General Gordon and other Christian sol diers, and stated that the moment one enters the army he, in a sense, loses his individuality, because it is his business to obey the one man whose opinion gov erns the army He then drew lessons from these facts for the Christian SOL dier, urging him to put on the whole arnor of God, belted vita truth and having on the breastplete of righteous ness and the feet shod witt, the gospel of peace; taking the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the spirit, which is the word of God
 The greatest warfare a young man has is with himself, and his greatest enemies his own lusts and passions. If he is a Christian soldier he will also fight for municipal Improvement; to make his city a better place in which to live; to make it easier for men to do right, harder for them to do wrong. Then there is the fight against the mar row opinion of some people, but all the difficulties should not phase the Chris tlan soldier, but spur him on to victory. It was easier to be soldier in the United States army than a soldier of Jesus Christ.
 At the close G. Elmer Goodwin, the gospel soloist, sang very effectively "Who is on the Lords Side?"

INHERITANCE TAX VALID.
Decision by the United States Supreme
 Cnnrt-Scnne of the Law.

Decision by the United States Supreme
 Court--Scope of the Law. Washington, May 14-The supreme court to-day decided the inheritance tax law to be constitutional and valid, but held that it applied to the amount of the legacy and not of the estate as a whole.
 The opinion was handed down by Judge White and covered all the vari- ous cases before the court involving the validity of the inheritance tax provision of the war revenue law, except one or two covered by Judge Shiras. Judge White reviewed the law at length, con- sidering the question whether it applied to entire estates or merely to legacies. H took the ground that it was the 1n- tention of the act to impose tax on legacies only. He also said hat the con- tention that the tax was direct tax. and was there unconstitutional was un- tenable, as also was the contention that the matter of inheritance taxes was one for state regulation only. The opinion also held that the uniformity provision of the constitution was not violated by the law, as that was merely geographi- cal.
 Judge Sfiras' opinion covered the phase of the law applying to eases in which estates consisting of United States bonds are taxed. This opinion held that the bonds were subject to this tax

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and Stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the sction OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that ls oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, 10 liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by
