A FALSE CRY
Peace Not Always Indicative
of Prosperity

III ~ In the ordinary sense Oh tue
word is not the summum bo-
B mum of human happiness or
usefulness. Rest and freedom
from pain are comforting to the SICK,
and may be signs of approaching dis
solution. Peace in community may
Indicate prosperity, or It may be In
sensibility to duty and indifference 10
fraud and political corruption. A
man freezing to death or under the
influence Of some poison needs to be
reused and kept moving. Some COM
munfttes need nothing so much as TO
be walked up and forced TO fight Tor
good government.
Peace in the church may mean
prosperity or decay. 1t is written in
the Acts: Then had the churches
rest" "and walking in the fear OF
the Lord and in the comfort OF the
Holy Ghost were multiplied" This
was after a period ot persecution and
steadfast contention for the fa''
There have been other times l
the church had rest because IS
asleep to its duty.
Righteousness Firos.
The command to "conteEd earnest
ly for the faith once delivered to the
saints" does not indicate that. Chris
tians In a world Of sin are to expect
or be satisfied with peace until
righteousness Is established. So long
as God has a controversy with men,
controversy is the duty Of the church.
So long as immortality and infidelity
exist, the church has mission TO op-
pose them. Often It's greatest need
is for some one to stand, as did the
prophet Of old, and call men to line
up. Choose ye this day whom ye
will serve" When this call Is heard
there are always some to plead for
peaca cart thou he that troublest
Israelr" No, the men who trouble
the Israel Of God are those who pro-
mote immortality and inf1delity, who
] belittle the word Of God and deny the
doctrines Of grace; and very often
these cry Peace, peace" when they
Themselves are disturbing the peace.
When men in the church deny God
as the Creator, or that Christ Is God,
or that he died on Calvary as a sac
rifice for sinners and rose from the
dead, or that the Scriptures are IN
spired and true. the church has
controversy with them, and woe be to
It If, through fear of man or love Of
ease or for any other cause II -shrinks
from its duty.
Danger Of tho chuneh.
The greatest danger Of the church
is, It's inssnsibility to the beginnings
Of unsouDd doctrine It credits loose
teachers with being better than they
seem. It says Of them, as minister
said OF a student who seemed to deny
the atonement, He does not mean 1t,
and. at any rate, he will get over 1t
when he gets 20 work." It strains
It's charity beyond the scripture point.
It docs not heed the exhortation Of
John, the apostle of love and peace:
"Tf there come any unto you and
bring not this doctrine, receive him
not"
A writer, describing a visit to the
home Of Henry Ward Beecher, speaks
Of painting which Mr.. Beecher
showed him, representing huge

been left to guard. and lap-dog

TRAFFIC MANAGER
OF WABASH HERE
w. C. Maxwell Says Connecting all
Railroads With Belt Line an
Easy Accomplishment.

w. C. Maxwell, general traffic man
ager for the Wabash with headquar-
tiers at st. Louis, is in the city today
visiting with relatives and looking af-
ter the business interests of his COM
pany at this point. Mr. Maxwell re-
ports that the extensive improvements
the Wabash is making In the physical
condition of the property are going
forward rapidly and will be Of great
advantage in the expeditions handling
of traffic, the road heretofore having
been handicapped in this respect by
not having sufficient track facilities to
handle the business in an economical
manner. The Gate City has in prev
ious issues reported the nature Of the
improvements which call for an ex-
penditure of more than ten million
dollars. 81
Mr.. Maxwell thinks asthat KeoRuk
should get busy in the matter OF a
factory or Industrial section and ap
proves of the recent plan by the In
dustrial Association to provide loca
ton for factories which ought to ibe
attracted to this city by virtue of the
water power. He says it Is very
simple and very economical plan to
unite all the railroads with the pro-
posed belt line proposition and he
hopes it will be done.

Demonstration for Wilson.

Before Bell could answer the gal
leries started Wilson demonstration.
A score OF pictures of the New Jer-
sey governor were showed up on canes
and locomotive cheer started which
spread through the galleries like wild
fire, and for few minutes the dele
gates sat still and let the galleries
whoop EN- up, New Jersey. Michigan
and other delegations where the sen
timent for Wilson was strong, also
joined. A big blue banner with q
crescent was raised In the aisles and
the Missouri delegates broke out for
Clark
A big red banner with "Champ
Clark. our next president" was raised.
A frenzied delegate tried to tear the
Missouri standard loose for parade
but a policeman forcibly interfered.
Then when the blue coats back was
turned the delegate yanked it from
its standard. New Jersey followed
suit.
The Underwood men from Alabama
then went into the demonstration and
their blue banner was started down
the aisle. Every state delegati11 was
now participating in some part of the
demonstration excepting New York
whose ninety delegates sat impassive
ly in their seats. Murphy in the mid
die of the delegation, was meditative-
ly chewing gum and wearing decid-
eddy bored look.
The Wilson contingent from New
Jersey had brought out many fish
poles on which they hung pictures of
Wilson and waved them over the
heads of the crowd
The demonstration was now assum
ing the proportions of a college rally
with the rival camps sending back and
forth cheers for their favorites.
