THE MAN BEHIND THE DRAG
Say, do you know the fellow to love
Is the fellow that drags the roads.
Ills he who comes with kindly shove
To his weary brothers load.
That fellows mighty good fellow,
men;
That fellow that smooths the way:
They'll cancel all doubts against him
when
1t comes to the judgment day.
The man behind the road drag, boys
Don't laugh, mean no fun
Is doing more for the flag than does
The man behind the gun.
SHEETS AND ANCIAUX NUPTIALS
Rev. C. ID. Wendell of Audubon had
the pleasure of officiating at one of
the happiest events of the season when
when he tied the sacred knot that will
unite for aye Charles +. Sheets and
Miss Ellie AnciauX in the holy bonds
of wedlock. The event took place in
the midst of wholesome merriment and
imposing festivities at the home of the
BRIDES parents MIR. and Mrs. Louis
| AnciauX, in Greeley township, Audu-
bon county, Iowa, March 81, 1909. The
divine ceremony was performed and
the holy vows made during that strange
sweet calm on the threshold of April
Roy Anciaux, the bride brother. was
best man and Miss Hazel Hensley was
the best lady. The presents we're both
numerous and pleasing. The groom is
a son of w. G. Sheets of Melville. He
J was reared in a pure christian home
and has been qualified for the strug-
giles before him by sturdy God-fearing
ancestors. The bride is popular and
lovable young lady whose success
as a teacher is widely known. This
happy couple can now be seen on the
farm recently vacated by Mr.. Gordon
Story, near Old Hamlin, as busy as
two little wrens in an old cigar box.
Here's health and wealth and happi-
| ness
And never bit of scrappiness.
Doctor George Burman Foster, pro-
lessor of the philosophy of religion in
the University of Chicago, is threat
ened with some undesirable notoriety
because of his unorthodox attitude. 1t
is said that his startling language i'm
plies that, like other religions, chris
tianity will die and Jesus will be for
gotten. This is staggering bit of log
ic emanating from q commanding
height. 1t comes like flash of light
ming from lofty mountain peak. For
while we are stunned because it seems
to strike at the only support that keeps
us from tumbling into utter darkness
and despair. believe that | am or

ing feature OF christianity is its power
to completely conquer death and give
unbroken duration to a peaceful state
of CONSCIOUSNESS. If one billion years
hence man is found living contented
and happy in vastly higher state Of
civilization 1t will be because he and
christianity have chung together. Con-
