GOVERNMENT AND RELIGION

The real enemies of good government are those
who would destroy all government or who would
have its operation arranged as to profit them to
the detriment of the masses. Good government IS
not question of language or customs of the people
nor yet one concerning the industrial or literar,
activities which give the nation prestige in world
affairs, but one founded upon the religious and spir
itual thought which constitutes the eternal verify
of Christian life and civilized government. Ma
tions have been born, nurtured through storms ard
grown to power yet have fallen, never to rise again
through lack of the potential thought of God as
ruler of the hopes and destinies of mankind 1t
lies wholly with the people of the United States
whether this country shall follow into decadenee
the ancient nations.
We like to consider our country great and it Is
great the greatest nation the world has ever known
great in wealth and power and in commercial SUI
premacy all others; great In invention and ma
chinery and in all that makes for human enterprise
Yet we should not be blinded by these forces to the
essential potency of religion in the affairs of men,
With all our material strength and unequaIed re
sources the scale today hangs in the balance be-
tween the good and the bad, the noisy demonstra-
tons of materialists shutting out from considera-
ton the calm and deep thought Of God who surveys
all and measures all by one unchanging standard
The human family knows no force more powerful
thought more appealing to the heart interest
than that of religion. Upon religion our nation Is
founded and the whole fabric of our civilization
rests upon it. Our prestige as a commercial ma
ton, our wealth and material prosperity furnish
no proof of stability; our army and navy are no
bulwark against the onslaughts of the subtle and
growing contempt for religion or the influences of
irreligion. The destiny of governments and of the
world rests upon the religious thought which dom-
mates the people, the perpetuity of our greatness
upon the wider spread of the great religious truths
which, since history began have furnished the only
substantial foundations upon which governments
may rest
What decides the destiny of the republican form
of government must In a measure decide the destiny
of the world. Our government founded in the
of God, but the religious thought of the PEG
pie has turned to Mammon. If We are to retain the
leadership of nations there must be a regeneration
of aggressive Christianity, return to the observ-
ance of the laws of God under the unapproachabc
leadership of Jesus Christ

NOT A HoUsEsoAT TROPHY.
John r. Spears Thinks Sir Thomas
Has Been Badly Advised.

New York, Sept. 3O.-John R.
Spears, the yachting expert, says in an
Interview published here:
THE action of the New York Yacht
club in declining to accept the chal-
lenge of Sir Thomas Upton to sail q
race for the Americas cup with a
boat only of size inferior to those
that have recently raced for it, but of
type decidedly slower ought to
have hearty support of every sports
man in the United States and of the
world.
THE Americas cup is without a
peer as trophy for outdoor sport, be-
cause it has always stood as the prize
OF the swiftest yacht in the world of
the large type, and because it has
been successfully defended against
the attacks of the ablest designers and
yachtmen of the best yachting nation
of Europe.
Sir Thomas has good sporting
blood-bfuod that is as good as his
advisers are bad. Sir Thomas wants
a fair race on the best terms possible.
The others want to get hold of the cup
by hook or by crook They have
waged long war of words, and they
succeeded in throwing so much dust
into American eyes that rule was
adopted to discourage the building Of
swift boats. But they have not yet
succeeded in making the Americas
the trophy of class of houseboats.'

thicket along the road which he
must travel in going from the down
town office to the factory, making the
trip in a carriage, and when near the
baseball park the highwaymen stuck
a gun in his face and ordered hands
up. He whipped his horse and one

fled toward the river, escaping in a
boat to a densely wooded glen.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri-
can inventor, says Fully eighty per
cent of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or to much
food; people are inclined to over-in-
dulge themselves. This is where indi-
gestion finds its beginning in nearly ev-
cry case. The stomach can do Just SO
much work and no more, and when you
overload it, or when you eat the wrong
kind of food, the digestive organs can
not possibly do the work demanded of
them. 1t is at such times that the stom-
ach needs help; it demands help, and
warns you by headaches, belching, sour
stomach, nausea and Indigestion. You
should attend to this at once by taking
something that will actually do the
work for the stomach. Kodol will do
this. 1t is combination of natural d.
gestants and vegetable acids and con-
tains the same juices found in a heal

DESERTED WEALTHY FlANCs
Cedar Rapids Girl Went Away With
Her Old Sweetheart.

Her Old Sweetheart.
After dining with Claude Whine. to
whom she was engaged to be married
early in October, and then attending
the theater with him, pretty Jessie
Darr Of Cedar Rapids allowed him to
escort her home. He didn't linger, be-
cause she pleaded headache.
Fifteen minutes later big automo-
bile shot up to Jessie Darr's door. She
sprang down the steps and was helped
into the back seat by the sweetheart
of her glrlhood days, Jack" Wurster
of Ann Arbor, Mich, student of the
University of Michigan. They were
whirled to the county seat, five miles
away; routed the deputy clerk of the
courts out of bed and got marriage
license. Then they awoke the Presby-
terrain minister and at the hour of mid
night they were married in the parlor
of his parsonage. Half an hour later
they boarded train for Chicago. They
now are supposed to be staying at the
home of the bridgegroom's parents in

he had graduated from Ann Arbor be-

girls parents, had been trying to win
her hand and heart. She yielded to
the persuasions of her wealthy ad-
mirer and her family and consented
that her engagement to him be an

the marriage would take place early
in October. In spite of the telegraph

took the first train for Cedar Rapids.
