Dear Mr.. Brigham

The coming convention of Wiscon-
sin S. s. A, to be at Grand Rap
ids, Nov. 10, II and II, is looked for
ward to with deep interest. Could
1 say a word to encourage the local
committee at Grand Rapids in their
preparation? had the pleasure of
being made chairman of the various
committees who had charge of the
home end Of the preparations neces-
sary to make last years convention
one that is still fresh in our minds,
as the best We ever had
The finances to meet all the expen-
ses was in charge of three men. To
our surprise they raised over s1OO. 90
more than was needed. You know
that cur expenses was large. The
renting of the opera house and the
Eagles Hall for the comfort of the
delegates was necessary. So that
when all bills were paid we found
that we had spent $500. The men
and women who contributed to this
fund were willing to pay more than
they gave if it was necessary. Dur
ing the convention week, the dele
gates expressed their appreciation of
the fine treatment Sheboygan people
was giving them, and every person in
Sheboygan who came in touch with
the convention spirit felt it's refin-
ing influence. There seemed to be a
sympathy in the atmospheer of our
town for the good these delegates
We're receiving, which they in turn
gave to every person they met. This
same good feeling is still with us.
The business men, the Fcity officials,
the police officers, an every one
interested in the welfare of our peo-
pie were delighted with your S. S.
Association. [ am sure the ministers
and Sunday school teachers of She
boygan will long remember Nov Il,
y and Is Of 1913, as the best con-
vention held in any city in this coun-
try.
My best wishes to the local COM
mittee at Grand Rapids and hope to
be with you at this 1914 convention.
Yours for a better Sunday School,
HUGH MARTIN.

might be expected from them.
The Motorists could not get into

all the cylinders hitting, they pushed

BELGIUM ASKS
TWO ALLIES
TO SEND AID
Country a ShanbIeS and
Fate of new Capital
in Balance

ANTWERP, Oct 6. - Belgium.
weary of bearing its new white man
burden, has appealed to France and
England for immediate aid. Practical
" the whole country has been turn
ed into a shambles and now it is felt
that if Antwap, the new capital is
to be saved. the allies must send
help at once.
The German bOmbardm6nt of the
southern and eastern chain of forts
continues without interval. day and
night Rumors are current that some
of the forts have been badly damag-
ed but the war office declares the
resistance is well maintained.
Despite this optimistic declaration,
it is known the pressure is becoming
so serious that urgent messages have
been sent the British and French gen
eral stfafs asking that immediate
steps be taken to force the Germans
to raise their siege. 1t is felt that
Belgium has sacrificed enough in try
ing to check Germany by her own
efforts and that the allies can now
spare enough fresh troops to under
take thanking movement in force
from the west coast. which would
compel the Germans to evacuate
Brussels and to lift the siege of
Antwerp.

is MARCHING WESTWARD

The route of the march of this
force was westward and crossed the
lines Of communication of the French
with northern Belgium and the lines
reaching toward Dunkirks where the
English expeditionary force was dis
embarked, and 0stend, the nearest
important port in Belgium Both of
three ports are within forty miles of
Lille.
Thus has this body of newly ar
rived reinforcements effectively block
ed the French dash for Belgium and
threatened the allies lines of COM
munication.
simultaneously according to the
midnight official report the Ger
mans counter attack north of the Oisl
in the region to the south of Noyon
was renewed with terrific violence.
From this general locality the army
of Gen D'Amade reaches north and
the army OF Field Marshal Sir John
French stretches east.
PLAN TO DRIVE WEDGE.
The German strategy evidently is
based on the hope of their success in
driving a wedge through the allied
line at this point, dividing the French
army, facing east from the British
force, facing north, thus enabling
them to conc centrate against that part
Of the line facing north while hold
ing the French in their northerIy po-
sitiOns, or effecting a counter flank
ing movement by hurting the troops
from the north down upon the French
left flank and bending it back toward
the west.
There still intervenes between the
most nOrtherly advanced position of
the French left and the newly as
sumed offensive line of the Germans
north of Lille, distance of between
thirty and forty miles.

EAGLES DANCE

the Harvest Dance given by the Ea--

music was furnished. While the at
tendance was not all it should have
been, everybody who attended had
a good time The threatening wealth

Come, ye dfsconsoIate, where e'er
We languish; Come to the mercy-seat,
fervently kneel; Here bring your
wounded hearts, here tell your ang-

Heaven cannot heal.
Prayer and peace are Synonymous
both are exactly the opposite Of tur-

Pence and prayer represent unity
Of purpose, equible mind and heart,
contrile and controlled dispositions.
Peace is essential to happiness;
peace is essential to prosperity; peace
is necessary to the best good of life.
Misundertsandings are tempered;as,
perities are softened; differences are
obliterated, through prayer-in faith

The effectuaI, ferEent prayer of a
righteous man aVMleth much, the
prayers Of earnest and sincere per

Peace is a possibility to those
who come in an attitude Of prayer,
centering mind and heart on the
great object-Peace!
Though calamity stalk through the
earth though strife is rampant,
though statesmen disagree and arm

questions at issue and solves them.

Not an Unexpected Outcome.

The denial OF the reported split between
villa and Csrranza may reflect the facts in the
case, but II seems far less plausible than the
original report. The remarkable thing about
the relations OF these two men is that they
could have lasted in anything approaching har-
mony this long. villa, an ambitious soldier Of
fortune, on the one hand. and CarranEa, sub
tie, scheming politician, equally ambitious, on
the other, dividing power and prominence be-
tween them, could not be expected to move
along indefinitely without a ruction, especially
in a country OF no coherency among any ele-
ments OF party The whole thing In Mexico
appears to be a scramble for spoils II more
Independent action promised larger returns
why should villa remain subordinate to Car
rama? CarranEa, moreover. seems to have
given villa a semblance OF excuse for breaking
with him in the assignment OF Natera to lead the
hosts on zacatecas. But even accepting the de-
nial OF alleged estrangement. things could
hardly go on long without the appearance Of
new eccentric circles in this maze of Mexican
discords.

Justice as a Game.

There is unfortunately, more truth than
poetry in the assertion OF a California Judge
that Justice in this country has degenerated
into q game" He describes the game as one in
which the attorneys on the opposite sides are
the players. the defendant the pawn and the
Judge the umpire, with the result depending
not upon the merits Of the issue but whether
some rule of the game has been violated during
the play. The judge quoted is referring more
particularly to justice for persons accused OF
crime. but what he says applies with equal, II
not more, force to justice as between individual
litigants. t
ID II. however justice, although degenerated
into a game. we're always played on the square
by the attorneys who make the moves 1t might
not 20 often defeat the main purpose. but the
trouble is that there are crooked lawyers as well
as honest lawyers, and the crooked lawyer plays
a crooked game with perjured witnesses coached
to give framsd-up evidence. Just as the crooked
gambler plays with marked cards and loaded
dice. II will not insure Justice merely TO sim
plify the rules unless something Is done at the
same time in the way OF a legal housecleaning
to elevate the standards Of the profession.
