Why Don't You Go?
Rev. MacAllister. of the Presby

Rev. MacAllister, of the Presbyter-
ian church, preached one of the most
eloquent sermons Sunday evening,
ever heard in this city. 1t was such q
sermon as one would hear in the large
churches in Chicago or any large city,
and it should have been greeted with
q large congregation, but it wasn't.
When Missouri Valley has a minister
with the ability and eloquence of Rev
MacAlllster the citizens should show
their appreciation by crowding the
church every Sunday morning and
evening. Not going to church is d
habit, and one that y large majority of
the male portion of the people are
afflicted with. That's wrong. If you
would go to church u few times you
would get into the habit of going, and
then it would be the easles, thing in
the world to z" to church. And you
would get 80 YOU like it. You don't
know how IL encourages thu minister
to STE the fathers of the families in
the congregations is an inspiration
to the minister. When he sees the
church pews occupied by the men he
feels that his work is being appreciated
and he renews his efforts to preach
the very best sermons that are in him.
Try it just couple of times and you
will be astonished how easy it comes
to so to church Sunday, after you get
used tot Why don't you go?

for all throat and long trouble.

The coffee growing industry in
tropical Africa is developing ire
mendously. The seed was intro
duced into the country about five
years ago by some English
missionaries, who conveyed few
beans from Kew with the object of
ascertaining whether the resources
of the country were favorable to
the culture Of the article. Judging
from results, the ground appears
peculiarly adapted to the industry,
since last year 100 tens of coffee
were exported from Uganda alone,
and the result of this years pro-
duction will be even greater.
Blantyre coffee is generally con-
tended to be the finest in the world.
even excelling' the famous Mocha.
It,is greatly in demands in England
but unfortunately up to the present
the supply is very lim,t, d. The
great difficulty with which the
growers have to contend is the
imperfect means of transporting
the article from the plantations to
the sea. This difficulty, however,
will be overcome to a great extent
by the construction of the Uganda
Railway.

The Contest is Settled


Without intending to dictate or pre-.
scribe any course of conduct for other
people, or to find fault of tile action of
the people ut the late election, yet we
do believe, as .he ELECTION Is past, the
decision made aud Vim Mckinley cleo
ted, that his friends Can atfurd 10 stop
fighting W. j. Bryan lie 10 now only
a private citizen aud is not tn blame
for being Can ida'e tor President
That he Is wonderful man, both
mentally and physically all must ad-
nit, and his character beth politically
aud socially, is without reproach, that
he stands today hefort, the American
people IS II model public man, and
one Of whom all should feel justly
proud. You may not agree with him
politically or religiousiy, but you must
admire him as an honorable, noble cit
izen; it is not necessary for man to be
elected President of the United States
to make him great; a Clay, Webster.
Blaine, Benton, and others never reach
ed that high position, yet their names
will live while the English language
is spoken. Bryan is great as man,
pure as cit zen, patriotic as states
man, grand az an orator, and giant
in debate and his name will live on the
page of our national history when
many Others now considered great will
be forgotten Why continue the fight ?
You defeated him, but he went down
with seven million loyal friends, more
votes than any other defeated candid
ate ever received, which fact ought to
inspire admiration and not abuse. 1t
is cowardly to strike fallen foe. Be
magnanimous-f the strife of
battle, remember he is an American
citizen, and when we dispsrage and
traduce his good name we strike at the
character of American citizenship. If
it could do any good by filing the pa
| pers with unkind filings at Mr. Bryan,
there might be some excuse for such
work, but as it does not hurt him in
the estimation of his trends but less
ems the writer in the estimation of all
considerate people, it would be we'll to
consider the contest of 1909 over and
let Mr.. Bryan rest. Honor him for his
integrity and moral worth and noble
character, and by SO doing honor your
self.
