Painfully Hurt

Ben Prewitt, who formerly
lived here, was painfully hurt in
an automobile accident last week
while returning from Oil Springs.
He and two companions were
driving an automobile and going
at the rate of forty miles per hour
and for some reason failed to
make the turn of the road. The
automobile plowed into an en-
bankment, demolishing the ma
chine and knocking the occupants
of the Car unconscious. None of
them were fatally hurt. Another
automobile which passed shortly
after the accident, picked up the
three boys and took them to Mt.
Sterling, where they were given
proper medical attention.

All Chairs In Lodge
Occupied By Hoppers

What is said to have been a re-
cord in Masonry was established
here last Friday night when
Joseph Hopper, Jr., had entered
apprentice degree conferred upon
him by Lincoln lodge No. 60 of
Stanford. On that occasion all
of the chairs of the lodge were
occupied by members of the Hop
per family, who did the work up
on the youngest member in
most impressive manner.
Walter O. Hopper, of Mt. Ster-
ling, a brother of the candidate
was Acting Master; George D.
Hopper, Sr., his father acted as
Senior Warden, Geo. D. Hopper,
Jr., a brother, acted as Junior
Warden. A first cousin DR.. w.
o. Hopper, of Perryville, was
Senior Deacon and John Hopper,
another first cousin, of Perryville,
was Junior Deacon. The aged
and beloved Rev. Joseph Hopper,
of Perryville, an uncle, acted as
Chaplain.
1t will easily be seen that the
Hopper family believe in the
principles of Masonry. This
prominent family are all Masons
save one.
The ceremonies were simple
and impressive throughout and
large attendance of the members
was had Interior Journal.

What Is Religion?

Brother D. H. Scanlon, of the
Presbyterian Church, recently
preached an entertaining sermon
along the following lines:
There is danger of making an
answer to this question from a
partial view of the subject.
we view the ecclesiastical
millinery and judge religion in its
essence from its apparel.
First, Religion is not a creed;
we may assent to all the creeds
in Christendom and not have a
spark of genuine religion about
us. We may pronounce good all
of the 80 articles of the Episcopal
Church, and subscribe to all the
doctrines of the Baptist Church
and approve all the statements of
the Presbyterian confession of
faith, and yet be irreligious.
Secondly, Religion is not sim
ply a life of good works, though
important that is. A man may
lead prayer meeting and teach a
Bible class and pay his honest
debts but have no heart of COM
passion for the less fortunate
about him; he is a man without a
life, if he can not say write me
down as one who loves his fellow
man'-if he never does anything
to make the world brighter and
Sweeter and a better place in
which to live for others as well as
himself, he has a poor form of
religion and only a FORM.
Thirdly, Religion is not sim
ply performing certain rites and
ceremonies. A man may repeat
our Lords Prayer till the end OF
time and yet never PRAY. He
may be a good Church man but
a poor christian. The best church
men in Christ's day were the
Pharisees, as their religion con.
sisted in fasting, tithing and
prayer, but Christ most severely
denounced them because their re-
ligion went no further.
"Fourthly, Religion is not a
sentiment; it goes for beyond that
it is a duty, and more than
that, it is conviction, and more
than that, it is keeping ourselves
in the love of Cod To stimu-
late love for God, we must see
Him as He is in Christ Jesus
God manifest in the flesh.
Bearing our burdens, sympa
thizing with us in our sorrow:
and showing us the envy of life
this was the mission of Christ
and if we would climb the altar
stairs to the truly religious life
we must bring the tenderness O
Jesus to every relationship ano
the faithfulness of Jesus to ever,
duty by keeping ourselves in the
love of Cod"

A Prophecy

Judging from indications the
Leader makes the following
prophecy: That Collector w. w.
Wiseman will remain in office an
other year; that Senator Bradley
will not oppose the confirmation
OF any Of Senator James hungry
friends; that the revenue force
(all of them that are so inclined)
will be used by Collector Wise
man in the same way as in the
Taft-Roosevelt campaign; that
Congressman Harvey Helm will
not be sorry if the collector is
not appointed until after the 1914
primary; that the Bradley-James
combination and the collectors
will all be against Beckham for
senator; that it will be we'll for
the Wilson-Bryan democracy to
get the Progressives to join hands
with them in defeating the
combination. This may seem a
prophecy to some, but you mark
it down in your little book. We
would like to know what some OF
your temperance Democratic
editors think of such a probability.
