A Divided Kingdom.

Mr.. Edltor:-While reading
and studying about the condi-
ton of our government, both
State and national, and the
general condition Of her citizens
it is enough to cause one to
tremble knowing that desola-
ton must take place, because
Christ said every Kingdom di-
vided against itself is brought
to desolation. Luke ll-l7.
And we know his word is
true for he said heaven and
earth shall pass away but my
words shall not pass away.
Matt. 24-35.
This has been fulfilled once to
our nation. when a half a CEN
turv ago the north and south
divided and was brought to
desolation, poverty and ruin.
But God again has blessed us to
be a prosperous and wealthy
nation, and W have every
thing that heart could wish.
But we are like the !epers that
were cleansed, have not given
God the glory. Luke II: 1919.
We boast of our shrewd and
energetic spirit being the cause
of our wealth, but Paul said |
have planted. Apollos watered
but God gave the increase.
Cor. 3: 8.
If we could only realize that
God gives US all we have and
are. we would be happy in this
world. People, he said. sci
that We have and give aims
Provide yourselves bags which
wax not old, a treasure in the
heavens that fail not, where nc

The attractive home of Mrs.

of loveliness Wednesday after,
noon, when she was at home
in honor of her sister, Mrs. Geo.
Robert Hendricks.
The decorations were simple
but effective; quantities of trail
ing ivy, palms, ferns and mas
turtiums being artistically ar
ranged, forming a background
for the handsomely gowned wo-
men that thronged the parlors
from 5 to 7 o'clock. Receiving
with Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs.
Partridge were Mrs. Larry c.
Thornley, and Miss Elinor
Knight.
After registering in the guest
book, refreshments were served
by Mrs. G.. f. Kirby and Ms. S.
B. Johnson. On the dainty
hand painted plates was placed
angel ford cake, while grace
