A Veteran on tho Pledge.

- vOy0r1n on Sno pt0o90s
Tho writer OF the following letter Is an
successful business men in tho United
States. At the present time he II the
executive head Of q great business enter
prise and one OF the corps OF business ex-
perts OF tho second largest industrial cor
poration in this country. We commend
his words regarding the pledge to the
present day Endeavorers.-Ed.l
As the years pass 1t Is q pleasure to
keep in touch with our friends and fel
low workers Of twenty-five years ago
in Christian Endeavor. No warmer
friends can be found than my own
who were with me in those days.
One Of the greatest losses that have
experienced in recent years has been
my retirement from active work In
Christian Endeavor.
The lift that the pledge gave me
when inclined to "sag" and let a slug.
gish liver or bad temper rule my
tongue In the prayer meeting merits
my loyalty and everlasting thanksgiv-
ing for the pledge.
I always held that the pledge is the
greatest blessing that the individual
Christian experienced in giving his
mind and heart liberty" How many
times we feel tho truth Of Paurs
words, 1.-THE spirit Is willing. but the
flesh Is weak" So we need to put
backbone into the unwilling hesh. and
this is what the pledge does. Then
how glad we are that we had this lift
over q pitfall!
At sixty-four years Of age can say
that the years Of my activity In Chris.
tian Endeavor were the most helpful
and delightful Of my life. Z. N. b.

Cultivate Those Idle Lands.

Biloxi Advertiser.
Doubtless { here is much truth IN
this connection, but we believe that
the problem of rura' life will in time
afford its own solution. AS we hay e
repeatedly remarked in these col
umns, the salvation of the country
lies in the cultivation of the vast ter
ritories now idle In Mississippi
thousands of acres of uncul
tivated farming lands which offer
fine homesteads and an independent
Fife to as many hundreds of families
who are now living a hand-to- mouth
eqistence in the larger cities. Many
of those who have gone out from
home to make their fortune in the
hustle aud hustle of city life have a
natural longing to return to the
beautiful hills of their home state
and take up the work, according to
the modern ideas, by which their
fathers earned their living in earlier
generations.

The Awful Waste Of Men in War.

Christian Herald, New York.
One of the significant signs OF the
times is that the civilized nations are
gradually coming to realize the truth
OF the saying, frequently emphasized
in these pages, that probably the
worst use to which a human being
could be put is to make him food
! for powder. > Baron de Constant,
the distinguished Frenchman who is
now making a tour of this country in
the interest of international peace,
has compiled some very instructive
statistics on this aspect of the ques
ton. He openly charges that gov
ernments conceal from the people
knowledge the terrible consequences
of war in the criminal sacrifice of hu-
man life France S Napoleonic wars
cost her from two to FIVE million men
and left her physically depleted for
ilIduy Years. IbuSSid > wal D uS
vel! as those of England, Germany,
Austria, Italy and our own nation, al
were frighttuly wasteful in human
lives. If the battlelields of modern
and even recent history were balanc-
ed in the scale against the results, it
would be shown that every so-called
victory made the whole world poorer
md none more so than the victorious
power. The Baron could do no bet
ter service to the peace cause than to
publish all the facts he has evidently
CLEANED OF the needless sacrifice of
men in warfare. Such a book would
take rank with Bloch famous vol,
ume on the Cost OF War, which in
spired the Car to call the first Peace
Congress.

Thinks A vardaman Majority In Sight.

Vicksburg Daily Post,
From information received from
every county in the State Gnrorma-
ton that is considered entirely reia-
bic and conservative, } the prediction
is made that Elk Governor V2rdaman
will be nominated in the first prinla-
ry by majority CT twenty i've
thousand votes over both of his op-
nents.
la every county IN thu State the
cause of Governor Vardaman has
materially advanced. A number OF
counties that gave d trivial majority
against him in the campaign of 1907,
and which have never been Varda
man counties, will in this camgaign
give him substantial majority, and
in those counties where he has al
ways been strong, his majortles will
be increased from one to several hun
dred.
Let the good work go on, so that
Vardaman S nomination will be prac
tlcally unanimous.
