Is quite possible that many persons
not disposed to religious thought, and
not likely to be induced to visit an
avowedly religious exhibition, might
be drawn to attend a spectacle such
as a moving picture exhibition. and
that such persons might be improved
by what they saw, after the manner
Of Goldsmith's irreverent persons,
who came to mock, remained to
pray" But all depends on the nature
Of the presentation and the surround
ings Of the scenes presented.
Dy THE REV. W. r. STEEL,
Professor Biblical Science. Uni. Of Denver
/ have been for twenty years a pro-
fessor in the University of Denver, De-
partment of Biblical Science, and have
become acquainted with the films Of
the Life Of Christ" In their prepara-
tion my friends and myself have be-
come intensely interested, and wish
to say that the work Is the most mar
velous and realistic of its kind that
could possibly be produced in motion
pictures. The opportunity that will be
afforded to inspire thousands with
deep religious sentiment, thousands
that could never be reached or affected
otherwise, should be enthusiastically
encouraged by clergy and laity alike
the world over.

There was a time when / was bitter

kinds. but within the last two or three
years / have gone to a number Of such
shows and found extreme satisfa ction

We clip tthe following from the
Louisa correspondent of the Ash

gan which contains a declaration by
his Republican opponent on the
kind of roads he thinks should be
built:
In the name of Heck Take our
money and build a 80 foot pike
from the mouth of Big Sandy to
Jenkins What is there at Jenkins
to come out by public highway or
at the mouth of Big Sandy to go
to jenkins that would require the
construction of this vast Boulevard?
How does this imaginative mind
figure out the benefits to the peo-
pie on Bolts Fork, East Fork, a
round Webbville at the head of
Blaine, and other parts of the coun-
ty not lying adjacent to this 80
foot pike?
My, but what a splendid race
course for autos and mortor cycles
this 80 foot pike would make, built
OF the peoples money who are now
closed in for large per cent of
the year by mud roads that become
AS a man thinketh so Is he.."
SO, Mr. McElmurry thinks that a
80 foot pike from the mouth of the
Big Sandy to jenkins is the want
and necessity of the people living

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Death visited our community on
October 8, 1913 and took from our
midst one of our beloved members
and sisters. Ada Peters Chapman
was born at Walbridge, was a daugh
ter of CARED and Mile Peters, was
married to George Chapman 1896.
To this union were bora four chill
dren, uwo boys and two girls. Ada
was dear good woman, strictly re-
ligious, always on the side for the
Lord and right. She had been in
failing health since last May. She
bore her suffering well and always
said, The Lords will be done. "She
prayed so hard to be healed, but
God in his wisdom saw fit to take
her above, where pain nor sickness
never come She talked continually
of death and leaving her children,
and always in a resigned manner.
While in one of our meetings last
spring she talked so of her faith in
God and how she had given her
boys over into the hands of the
Lord and trusted him to take care
o. chem. These children can never
forget such kind good mother.
We can never forget that humble
prayer we heard her pray in one
of our meetings last spring Although
almost too feeble TO pray she was
SO humble and earnest. During all
her sickness she would shout prais-
es to God. Some of her last words
were wishing she had strength to
pray. She was told TO trust wholly
in the Lord Her answer was, well,
praise the. Lord. Her last words
were Take good care of my chill
dren.% She then fell asleep in Jesus
to be with the sanctified throng,
These words we would say to the
bereft:
The young, the good pass away
Ne'er to be seen again.
Earth's brightest jewels too soon
decay, Its blasted trees remain
Full oft we see the brightest
thing that lifts its head on
high
Smile in the light, then droop its
wings and fade away and die
And kindly is the lesson given,
Then dry the fl,ling tear
They came to raise our hearts to
Heaven, they go TO call us
there.
Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day
1t was an angel visited the earth
And took this mother away
We, the Ladies Aid OF Gallup.
KY, wish TO extend our sympathy
TO the bereaved family. She was a
true and earnest worker as long as
her health permitted.
Therefore, Resolved, that we, as
christian workers, strive TO live as
true as did our beloved sister htat
our lives may be a spiritual in
spiration to those with whom we
come in contact.
Resolved, that each member re-
her children, be mother
them, giving them aid and comfort
and always remember them in pray
er
Be it further resolved, that
copy of these resolutions be spread
IN our minutes, also a copy sent TO

The Sheriff's office is certainly
one of the most important in the
county. The most serious troubles
Lawrence county has ever experin-

Sheriffs who fell short of the diff

The pledge of Mr.. McElmurry,
Republican candidate for the Leg
islature from Boyd and Lawrence, to
conceite his energies on a plan to
have a thirty foot pike built from
Ashland to jenkins, should be suf-
ficient to defeat him In the first
place, it is about as impractical
and impossible a feat as could be
proposed, As a mecu3er of the Leg
islature how could he do anything
toward special proposition of this
kind? The constitution prohibits
any special acts. Even if it did not,
no bill carrying special appropria--
tion such as this would require
could ever be put through the Leg
islature. 1t is ridiculous to suggest
pike parallel with a railroad through
country whose greatest need is
dirt roads good enough to get from
the back districts to the railroad.
The McDyer plan for giving our
counties the much needed roads is
practical and entirely feasible. He
will be member of the majority in
the House if elected and will be,
able to accomplish something worth
while. Also, he is sober, and would
be always ION the job at Frank
fort. The time is ripe for road leg
islation in Kentucky and the noun
tains must send men there com
petent to shape the laws for our
benefit. Otherwise we will not get
what we need. The Bluegrass section
has fine roads and will not be in
terested in the kind of road laws
the other parts of the State must
have. There was never before
time when your vote could be made
to count for so much in road mat
ters as it can now if ou will vote
