NO NEUTRAL GROUND.
Or. Buckner Says People Are for God
or AGAINST Him.

At the services at the Methodist
church last night Dr. Buckner spoke
from the text Art thou for us, or for
our adversaries?' In making this in
Quiry. Joshua spoke as the represent
tative of the people of Israel. He was
acting as Gods agent and servant. and
as the leader of Gods people. There
fore, in view of the magnitude of the
interests involved and the principles at
stake. he had right to ask the ques-
ton. Art thou for or against us?"
Religion includes all the vital inter-
ests of humanity for all time and
eternity Some there are in whose
secondary Importance They have the
impression that there are commercial
spheres, social, political, Industrial.
governmental and educational spheres.
and that separate and distinct from all
these is the sphere of religion, with
narrow bounds and strictly limited
functions. But religion. meaning the
development of the character Of the
individual, IS supreme in Importance
and touches every department Of life,
wherever and however, the broad in
terests of humanity are affected. We
have a right to ask and a right to
know regarding men and institutions
whether they are for us or against US:
whether they are for Gods plan or
opposed to It: whether they
are for the best interests
Of humanity or opposed thereto. We
should PROFOUND this question to law
makers and candidates for office. and
see to it that we get an Intelligent re-
ply and hold them to strict account
ing thereto. The question should be
asked Of all judicial and executive Of
ficers OF government. of school teach
ers who are in position of such re-
sponsibility and influence over other
lives Art thou for us or against us ,"
should be asked of authors, for the pen
is mightier than the sword. How pow
erful a weapon for evil. or how potent
complished author. How much of pres
ent day printed matter Is nonsensical
or impure or criminal in spirit. The
question Of the text should be applied
to customs and institutions, to the sa-
loon, the gambling den. the pool room.
the dance hall, the cheap resorts Of
amusement.
And for the individual. there is no
-rriddle ground. One must be for God,
or for the adversary. Let us get over
fully on the Lords side. so that there
may be no room for doubt or question
as to where we stand.
The sermon Friday night will be adj
dressed particularly to young men.

makes seven cars that the Johnston
Company have delivered since the first
of the year and it is considered a very
remarkable showing, when the weather
and road condition is such as it has
been, but the popularity of the cars
handled by this company, the Ford
and Mason lines, is putting them to
the front and the company is we'll
pleased with the reception that they
have been given in opening up in new
territory.
The Ford cars are very popular
among automobile people and particu-
larly so with prospective buyers, on
account of their great reputation and
the exceptionally low price. They are
built by the largest automobile factory
in the world, and are put out in guam
titles that enable the builders to give
good values to the consumer on small
margin of profit.
The Ford Co. began last Monday on
a lot of 10000 cars of one model. and
along with this they will turn out 3d.
900 runabouts besides a large num-
Der of other models. A factory turn
ing out cars at this rate are surely in
position to offer something worth the
price, and very likely know what they
are building and build it in a way to
satisfy the public.

SYNONYMOUS" PROVES sTlcKER
Twenty Who Arc Standing at Time
Word is Pronounced Are Moved
Down Prize Money is Divided
Equally, and What is Left Will Go to
Another Contest.

There was more interest shown in
the first of the series of prize spelling
matches among school children than
was anticipated by superintendent and
people gathered to witness the sixth
grade children spell at the manual
training auditorium Wednesday night.
The outcome was an unusual one Tor
spelling matches, as no one won. In
stead, all who were standing when the
word synonymous was pronounced
went down. One hundred forty-six
pupils, ranging in age from IL to IA
years. and representing every sixth
grade in the city, participated in the
match. Hon. J. l.. Carney, of the
school board, acted as pronouncer. The
first list of words was taken from the
text used by the pupils, and on which
they had preparation. On these words
they did nicely, there being but few
misses. It began to look as tho they
could spell everything. The entire list
was spelled thru, and still there were
about as many on the floor as when
the first word was pronounced.
Another list was taken, out of the
regular spelling book, and still there
were few misses. Then harder list
was taken, and one on which the chill
dren had had no chance to prepare
themselves. "Strychnine" sent several
down, and elixir" caught several
more .Terrapin'' proved a hard one
and the ranks were reduced to twenty.
Then the Inflated synonymous was
pronounced. One missed, another,
and another. and so on, turnout the
entire number No one could spell it.
The match was at an end.
q AS long as no one could be declared
. winner, Superintendent Palmer dis
pensed with the prize Of 81 for first,
and awarded eleven prizes of 81 each.
The rest Of the twenty were just as
much entitled to the same money, and
Mr. Palmer has decided to give them
another match, in which they will be

WARNING TO PARENTS.

Next Saturday night is Halloween.
The lawlessness characterizing the OBJ
servance of this night, we believe, had
its origin among the Vandals or some
other equally uncivilized tribe of
Europe. Because young people get out
and destroy or carry away property be-
longing to others and enjoy the fun of
doing so does not make the practice
anything short of rowdyism of very
bad description. Any young man or
woman with any degree of good breed
ing, decency or self respect will not
engage in such practices. No parent
fit to enjoy the respect of neighbors will
tolerate such work by his child. 1t be-
trays disregard for the rights and
feelings of others. The police of this
city have been making an effort yearly
to break up the practice of carrying
away and destroying property on that
night and have succeeded to some ex-
lawlessness in recent years as formerly.
The soaping of window panes is over
looked, because no special harm is done
in this practice, except to the house
wifes feelings. But next Saturday
evening the authorities will make a
stronger effort than usual to see that
the town is in some degree orderly.
Extra policemen, in citizens clothes,
will patrol the streets that night, and
every parent should cooperate with
the officers in seeing that the worst
offenders are arrested and punished.
