DESPACHOS De GENERATES
FAMOSOS
Como anuncian SuS viCtorias
y sus derr0tas

La guerra tiene muchas cosas Gu
riosas, y una de elias es que aGn las
mayores victorias pierden todo su en-
canto ST, al dar cuenta de elias, los
generates no saben hacerlo de manera
tai que produZca la noticia un efectO
m4gico en- todo ell mundo. La conci-
sion del tan conocido cvine, VI, vencf>
de Julio Cesar, frase que Carlos V,
quiso corregir en- Muhlberg al decir
<vine, vi Dios venci6,0 ha tenido
muchos admiradores y son innumera-
bles los jefes milisares que han queri-
do imitarla. Hasta los mas famosos
conquistadores, huyendo del lenguaje
Official que era de rigor en- otros item
pos, han procurado adornar las noti-
cias de las victorias con alguna Erase
sugestiva.
Cuando una victoria coincide con
alguna fecha memorable para la ma
cion los jefes tienen OCCASION para lucir
su ingenio.
Cuando la escuadra espanola fu6
destruida, en- Santiago, el almirante
Sampson envi6 d su pals la siguente
noticia: ola escuadra mis- 0rdenes
ofrece la nacion, como regalo del
de Julio, la destruction de la escuad
del almirante Cervera. No ha eScapa-
do nj uno.9 Es sabido que ell dia
de Julio, es para los yankis fiesta ma
cional, en- conmemoracion de su indie
pendencia.
Los generates de los tiempos mo-
dernos suelen tener Gel honor0 la
xsatisfaccion1 de anunciar. tai cual

Mount Vista, 18th District.-The fine
weather of early June infused new life into
everybody and farmers, mechanics an0 other
folks have been busy as bees. The outlook
for the tiler of the soil is good, the prospects
for wheat and grass having frightened won
derfully in the last few weeks. The growers
are rushing their straw berries and peas to
market and the proceeds from their sale is
most acceptable, this being the first money
they receive after the good weather sets in.
The young folks are busy with Children's
day arrangements, strawberry festivals, etc.
They are the men and women of tomorrow
and it is well that they begin to make them
selves useful at an early age.
The Sunday school of Fork M. K. Church
will hold its Children's day service on Sunday
afternoon, June 18th, and the following Sun
day, June 19th) at 3 P. NJ. the school of Fork
Christian Church will hold a similar service.
There will be no service at the latter church
next Sunday.
Improvements continue to be made at the
parsonage of Long Green Circuit and the pas
tor, Rev. M. L. Beall, looks happy because his
people appear determined to make things COM
Portable for him. He also has marriage cere-
mony to perform every few days and no doubt
these contribute their share towards his pleas
ant looks.
Mrs. Charles A. Benson, of Fork, who had
been under treatment at a Baltimore hospital,
has returned to her home much improved.
Her speedy recovery is hoped for.
A Bunyon's Pilgrims Progress picture en-
tertainment will be given in Fork Christian
Church. Thursday evening, June 10Th.
Automobiles are now frequently seen on the
Hartford pike and some ladies are afraid to
drive on the roads for fear of encountering one
or more of these ugly machines. One old lady
dislikes them so much that whenever she sees
one approaching she gets as near the fenc as
possible. She says one cannot tell what the
thing may do next and she wants to give them
all the room possible.
The members of Fork N. 4. Church will
hold strawberry festival in Shirley Hall, Fri
day evening, June 18th. P.'B.

Marble Hill, 9th District.-Mr. Lou
McLane and family, of Baltimore, who wei
expected to occupy the Bonnie Blink hOus
last week, did not arrive, owing to tn
snock caused by the death of Mayor Rober
NJ. McLane, nephew of Mr.. McLane. TIL
family IS expected this week
Misses Ann G. and Louise G. Merryman
formerly of Hayfields, were in this neighbor
hood this week.
Mr.. Clymer Whyte, of Baltimore, and fam
lily, are summering at the Hay fields home
which is one of the most desirable places in
this section.
The Moaning Herald of Baltimore copied an
item from the Marble Hill news in THE UNION
OF last week respecting the need of more wealth
TO bring the electric line to this vicinity. Some
valuable property is for sale about here and it
is surprising that buyers are so slow.
The morning Childrens day service at Jes-
sop ri. E. Church, held last Sunday, proved
interesting. The music, with Mrs. George G..
duncan, organist, was wellrendered. The rec
itatlons. in charge of Miss Beuah Benson,
were well received. Rev. T. NJ West made an
address. The decorations in the church and
potted plants from DR.. B. r. Bensons home
added beauty to the church. Owing to the
storm in the afternoon it was we'll the service
was held in the morning. Ma
The Ladies' Aid Society of Epworth NJ. e.
Church, Cockeysville, deserves honorable

school presented a donation of $50.4O to the

Mr.. AID. Brooks made the presentation speech.
The school having been divided into red,

ed on ''Sef- destruction" He said in part:
1T is a common apology for certain vices Of
mankind that they harm no one except those
who practice them. People who are not living
right often put on an air of independence,
and say to the church, to society and the state :.
My life concerns me alone, and want no adj
vice or restriction from any source The dis
solute man may admit that he Injuries himself,
but he may not admit that it is matter that
concerns anyone but himself. But, in the
sight of God, a man has no more right to in
lure himself than he has to iDjure his neighbour
'Self-iniury is condemned by the common
sentiment of enlightened society. The self-de-
struction of single life will shock the civiliz.
ed world. In pagan lands suicide has been
considered virtue, the last resort of q brave
man, the only alternative to prevent disgrace.
But in Christian lands, where Jesus Christ has
become the life and light of men, self destruc-
ton is considered the greatest moral blunder it
is possible to commit.
HPractices which impair the health or injure
the constitution are universally condemned.
Drunkenness, debauchery, exposure and such
practices as inf1ict injury or bring on disease
are Justly reprobated. Moreover, society is SO
constituted that self-iDjury brings harm to
others. No man can live entirely to himself.
| To assert that he can is barbarous. There are
relatives or friends, parents wife, brothers or
| sisters who must suffer through mans self
| injury. 1t cannot be otherwise. There are
| natural ties which bind society, so that harm
! done by one person must effect others.
Then, too, no man has absolute control of
| himself. God is our creator and in him
the right of possession inheres. Our bodies,
minds and souls belong to him. We should
| employ them as he directs. Life is from above.
No philosophy can explain it. 1t is solely the
gift of God. So that these powers, loaned to
Us for season, are Gods, and he will hold us
/ accountable for the manner in which we use
them. Says the great Apostle: Know yenot
that We are the temples of the Holy Ghost
Who so defleth this temple him will God
destroy
"On the monument of the soldier-prophet,
Ulrich Zwingii, at Zurich. Switzerland is in.
scribed his famous words: They may kill
the body, but they cannot destroy the SOUL
| The soul cannot be harmed by outside foes; il
only can be injured by wilfnl wrongs. Wilful
form. 1t is the suicide of the soul. 1t is the
deliberate purpose, the freely chosen act, which
leads to eternal ruin.

The stable, carriage house and hen house on
the property of Mrs. John D. Lucas, at Ruxton,

O'Clock on Monday evening, causing loss OF
81 500, which is covered by insurance. The
horses and COWS in the stable were saved by

have been of incendiary origin. Several other
