The Presbyterian Church

1t has been thought best to publish
the texts of the discourses for next
Sunday rather than the subjects. The
morning text: " Unto him that hath
shall be given, and he shall have album
dance; but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which
he hath. Matt. 25:20. Evening text:
And the Lord said unto him, what
is that in thine hands? And he said, a
rod. EXODUS Al.
Let all the members of this church
especially rememberthe Thanksgiving
service this year which WILDE preach
ed In the M. II. church on Thursday.
November 26, 1908, by Rev. Q. ID,
Wendell, pastor of the Evangelical
church. Let everyone connected with
the church make an earnest effort to
be present.

ion to their true convictions. That
southern vote which in firm belief
wrenched itself away from sectional
political tradition it was "a large
one-was significant Itmeans that the
time has come when The voter OF the
south is going to demonstratehis faith
by works and not let convictions wait
upon u cobwebbed tradition which
new nationalism has decreed must be
brought up to date. In national affairs
there remains no longer reason why
the people of the south should not fol-
low men and principles which to them
seem best and promise most to nation
al growth aud national prosperity.
The south will not continue longer a
mere voting machine.p

SENATOR DELIVERS EXPRESSION

" 1t ought to be very satisfactory to
the people OF Iowa that the primary
settles the senatorial question by a
majority so decisive as to place the
matter entirely beyond dispute. The
people have chosen Governor Cum
Minis against as good and strong an
opponent as could have been chosen
for the honor against him. This vote
settles the election of next January
and the republicans of Iowa ought to
be grateful that the personal and fac
tional votes of the party are atan end"

SUPREME COURT DECISION

In 1894 suit was instituted by Berea
College, Kentucky, to test the validity
of the law prohibiting white and black
children from attending the same
school. The Supreme Court OF that
state upheld the law and the Supreme
Court of the United States has affirm
ed the decision of that court and the
court of appeals. Separate education
is the demand and the practice in the
south in which they are upheld by the
court of last resort.

Rev. A. ID. Beckhart, Of Atlantic,
hlled the pulpit OF the M. Il. church

cellent sermons. In tho morning his
text was, Thou shaltdo creator work

that Christ was correct in his state

TO hear, and the lame TO walk, yet at
the present time In the many institu-
lions built for that purpose, hundreds
and thousands are being relieved or
cured OF these and other affection of

years successful minister and evan
gellst IN the church, but was forced to
retire TO farm on account OF health.
