WHY GREEK REPUBLIC FELL
Work OF CorruptionS ard DlssensIone
Rather Than Of the Man
Of Macedonia.

The old world has already re-
vealed to us, in its unsealed books,
the beginning and end of all its own
marvellous struggles in Che cause of
liberty. Greece, lovely Greece, "the
land of scholars and the nurse Of
arms" where sister republics, in
fair procession, chanted the praises
of liberty and the gods-where and
what is she? For two thousand
years the oppressor has ground her
TO the earth. Her arts arc no more.
The last sad relics of her temples
are but the barracks of ruthless
soldiery. The fragments Of her COL
umns and her palaces are in the
dust, yet beautiful in ruins. She
fell not when the mighty were upon
her. Her sons were united at Their
mopylae and Marathon, and the tide
of her triumph rolled back upon the
Hcllespont. She was conquered by
her own factions. She fell by the
hands of her own people. The man
Of Macedonia did not the work of
destruction. 1t was already done
by her own corruptions, Danish
ments and dissensions.--Judge

lie"

Dr.. Lyon Holds Union Revival

DR.. Lyou. the celebrated eva,..
gelist, who is holding a Union
Revival at the great Tabcrnacl.
+ in Parkersburg, is meeting witt
great success. The evidence Of
this is the vast crowds which
have attended me meetings.
Dr.. Lyon attacked the people
for their shortcomings much al
ter the manner of Billy Sunday.
Some of the ttdy blows which
he has dealt are as follows:
Il have more respect for 4
sheep Kill dog or q chicken thief
than for church member who
will steal membc s from 9th +
churches to buili ap his own"
Deliver any church from
those ungodly poid quartettes---
those people with the erratic and
operate voices | thanE Col
for people with voices AID
religion, too"
The people who are indiffer-
ent and antagonistic to these
meetings are the same class that
nailed Jesus to the cross"
Some people say these days
that the Devil is dead. Well, If
he is he has left a lot of or
phans"
The great curse of Christian-
ity is not Spiritualism, Dowiei III
or Eddyism, but it is indiffc :
ence.
Some people think they a~e
steadfast, but as matter OF
fact they are only stuckfast."
There is So much riva'ry
among our churches that if oue
gets a new pulpit. the other VIII
get up kissing game, a lotto,y
or a church supper to get mon-y
to buy one a little better. THIS
is the work of the Devil, not Of
God. :"
Many a fr3t.class BUSH s5
man is fourth-class Christian"
Religion, like the measles, is
contagious"
The greatest hinder to a G n
uine revival is the Inconsistency
of professed Christians"
Opinions are things you holl,
but convictions are things that
hold you"
Some folks today seem to
think if you give people plenty of
soap and soup, and take the sew
err gas out of their nostrils it will
insure salvation. "
Being a Christian is like rid
ing bicycle, You must go on, or
very soon you must go off"
There is u good deal of diff
ference between being a pillar
and a sleeper in the church.
Some are not even pillars, but
are pillar shams. "

Women Suffrage Notes

The greatest victory ever
known in the history Of woman
suffrage throughout the world
was achieved OF the last cleo
tons, when the men of Michi-
gan, Kansas, Arizona and Ore
Gon voted for the political en-
franchisemcnt of the women Of
their states.
Governor Osborn, Of Michigan.
from the capital, on October so.
issued an appeal to the electors
Of the state, asking all good citi-
zens to vote for the emancipation
of Michigan women. Governor
Stubs, Of Kansas. whose wife is
vice-president Of the Kansas
Woman's Suffrage association.
toured the state in behalf Of the
suffrage amendment. Governor
Hunt, Of Arizona, in his address
to the legislature, recommended
the submission of the question
to the voters. Governor West.
of Oregon is 4 member Of the
Mems League for Women Suf-
fra2c, and worked for the pas
sage of the suffrage amendment
in his state.
Twenty thousand men and
women, of all classes of society
and every political faith, led by
a squadron Of cavalry, marched
in solid phalanX down Fifth ave
nue. on the night Of November 9.
to celebrate the great victory.
and the brilliant pageant was
witnessed by at least half a mill
ion people, most Of whom waved
votes for woman banners and
continuously applauded the
marchers. The New York Tri-
bune said: 1t was a fine show,
and if giving them the votes
would end their parading it
would be an argument against
extending the suffrage.
An editorial in the New York
World was as follows: TO the
woman suffragists who joined in
the big parade Saturday night it
must have been evident that they
met with quite a different well
come from what had been their
share on previous occasions.
They represented q winning
cause. The crowds on the side
walks were awake to the results
accomplished ard gave no sign of
disapproval. BY the victories
won last week in Kansas, Mich
igan, Oregon and Arizona the
women have more than doubled
the number of voters of their
sex in the United States since
last year. In ten states they
have won the right to vote, an in
spite of their failure in Ohio and
Wisconsin the East is beginning
to realiVe that IT must soon sur
render to the logic of progress. "
The states which have had
equal suffrage are Colorado, Cali
fornia, Washington, Idaho, Utah
and Nevada.
