The original building was a stone
structure, having a balcony in one

CHURCH REUNION
Two Days Meeting of Whey Fork
Baptist Church at Speedweli

panied by Mrs. Faulkner and her
sister, Mrs. DR.. Rankin, Of Coving-
ton, on visit to their uncle and
aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. David Black near
Speedwell. Saturday. the 30th, drove
over to the Whey Fork Baptist
church and enjoyed the program for
the first day of the church's reunion
and roll-call meeting. Mrs. Mollie
Jackson of Berea, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Black. and her daughter. Mrs.
VIII Duncan. were also members Of
the party.
The Whey Fork church has a con-
tinuous history reaching back for
rs years, having been organized In
January, 1891 with eighteen members.
This organization was sanctioned by
two other Baptist churches known as
the Tates Creek and Dreaming Creek
societies. Christopher Harris was the
church's first pastor, and we were in
formed that his descendants still
live in the neighborhood.
The church. like all other organiz-
atoms. has had its vicissitudes of for
tune. but during most of its more
than a hundred years 1t had a large
membership. IL has in its possession
now roster, dated 1916. which
gives las names. many of which are
well known in the annals Of Madison
county.
The church history records a great
revival in 1901, at which 221 were
added TO the membership. In 1925
the enrolment was reduced TO 70
by the establishment of other
churches more convenient to some
of the Communicates, notably. the
church at Silver Creek. In 1880, the
numbers were further reduced by
a scism which resulted in the estab-
lishment OF the Christian church. the
membership being influenced by the
preaching of Alexander Campbell.

LESS DRINKING BY SOLDIERS
British Generals Agree That the Best
Fighting 10 Done by Soldiers
Who are AbstaIners.

The changes that a century has
wrought in respect to the use OF strong
liquor were illustrated during the re-
cent meeting here OF the Royal Army
temperance association, which now
has 81 433 members, OF whom 49, O5
are In the Indian army, says a London
correspondent OF the New York Sun.
According to the figures presented
there are now 2s,3S0 total abstainers
In the British army and 2,7s5 In the
temperance section. Earl Roberts said
great change had come over the NOR
tally OF the army in India since the
days when It was the custom to pro-,
vide every soldier with "a tot OF ar,
rack" every morning.
Earl Curzon recalled that in 1912.
when the peninsular war was In prog
ress. the duke of wellingtons force
was "a drinking II not a drunken
army" The idea then was that the
hard drinking man was the best tight
Ing man and there was a direct ratio
between whisky consumed and cour-
age displayed. The duke himself while
extolling the bravery of his men de-
plored their drunkenness and social
vices.
Nowadays all recognize that the old
idea was a ludicrous fallacy. Every
general who had commanded troops in
the last quarter Of century would
say that the best marching army and
the best fighting army was a sober
army.

the politician and his supporters will
constantly stoop to do little, mean'
underhanded, contemplate things
that the Christian citizen will never
think of doing, much less do.
To be a Christian citizen one must
in some way differentiato himself
from his on-Christian fellow-citizens.
and this he can do in one way and
in one only, viz, by accepting and
reducing to practice in his political
life the Christian or Bible principles
OF civil government. These principles,
and these alone, will supply him with
motives to impel himself to right ac-
ton. and furnish him with arguments
that will enable him to lead others
to right action. II is the practicing OF
the politico-religious truths or prin-
ciples of Gods Word that constitutes
Christian citizenship.
What, do you ask, are these prin-
clples? The fundamentals arc three IL
number. /. That the state or nation,
consisting as 1t does of individual
moral beings, is itself a moral being,
capable of right and wrong. and there
fore a subject of moral law and re-
sponsible to God for its conduct. 2.
That, like all other moral beings,
the nation Is under the authority OF
Jesus Christ The Ruler of the uni
verse and therefore bound to own
and serve Him. 3. That the law o!
God in so far as It relates to nations.
revealed through Jesus Christ and
contained in the Scriptures, is the
rule of national life, the standard OF
national action, and should be accept
ed by nations as such. Growing out
G. these fundamental principles are
the Scriptural truths: 1. That the
state or nation is a divine institution,
as certainly as is tho family or the
church. 2. That civil government Is
in essence Gods ordinance and is to
be obeyed as such. THE powers that
be are ordained of God" 8. That CT
vii rulers are in their sphere Gods
ministers, as certainly as the minister
of the Gospel IN the ecclesiastical
sphere, and that as a consequence
none should be chosen to civil office
save those who fear God and have re-
gard for His law. 4. That once men
are elected to office they are solemn
ly bound to recognize all their author
ity as coming from God, thru Christ
and revealed in the Scriptures, and
to be governed accordingly. To be-
lieve and proclaim and carry out in
political life these truths is Chris
tian citizenship. A man may be a
Christian and n citizen and yet not
be a Christian citizen. just as a man
may be a good man and a physician
and yet not be good physician. II

NO PEP WITHOUT
THE BASE HITS
Fred Clarke Says It Is Impossible
for Men to Put Life in Game
Unless They Are Hitting.

Boston. Mass, June s-Manager king

here. He insists upon playing every day
when possible to do 50. There will not
be any artificial double-headers, II be
can prevent them. king is looking tc
the future. He believes Boston will
eventually get a winner, and that when
II does the new policy will pay. Al
though rain fell almost continuously
after 1 o'clock. Killing did not announce
postponement Thursday until 2:3C
o'clock While waiting for this hour
Killing and Manager Clarke, Of the Pi-
rates, held an experience meeting At the
park.
Il don't suppose II possible to ever
accept defeat gracefully" declared
Clarke. 'I'll admit that don't like to
lose any game. but some defeats hurt
worse than others. Now take our two
defeats in Philadelphia, for example
One game We lost . to 4-and the other
to Il. The writers all gave US fits for
losing the fnal one, because the score
was big, but except for the fact that
our pitchers could not stop the Quakers
from hitting. We really played better
ball that day than We did in the to
game, and had fewer things to grieve
oveS.
I'VE were simply outbatted the last
day, but in the other game We were
outluCked. and, to make matters worse,
failed to take advantage OF the chances
that were offered.
You often hear the criticism that a
team is lacking in pepper. The next
time you hear Il or read It, look at the
box score Of the game and note the
base hit column. When a team is bat
ting freely It has all the confidence in
the world, and shows II In every move,
but when II can't hit II Is not getting
on the bases and looks dead. The
cOachers stand in their positions like
two wooden men, because, under the
rules, they cannot talk until one base Is
occupied The PhilIles had lots OF pep
per in our final game with them, and
acted like a different ball team, and all
because they were getting their bingles.
1T is all very well to demand more
life from q team that is not hitting, but
1 would like some one to tell me how Il
is going to be supplied. The coachers
cannot shout, and nowadays II the fel-
lows on the bench start any noise the
umpires viii threaten to send the entire
bunch to the clubhouse. The one and
only cure for a quiet team is q batting
rally, and that can he prescribed as
often as needed but the medicine can
not always be furnished"
