The number of premature and
still births has been greatly r.
duced The most remarkable gain,
however, has been in the threatened
cases of eclampsia. Eclampsia has
been the great source of danger to
the mother in child birth. In four
years threatened cases have been
reduced from over ten per cent to
none. A reduction of thirty five
per cent in the number of still
births was secured. Under super
vision and ministration of visiting
nurses, there was over a sixty per
cent decrease of premature births.
These patterns were, it may be
assumed, amongst the very poor.
The results, however, have been so
encouraging that the visiting may
be extended to private patients.

Asked why the Creation Photo
Drama is exhibited in theatres, Pas
tor Russell said: Theatres are better
places for the Drama of Creation than
churches, because Catholics do not
care to go to Protestant Churches, nor
PrOtestants to Catholic Churches, nor
Jews to either-and all classes are in
terested In the Drama, and it is for
ALL"
Continuing, the Pastor said: '"The
Photo-Drama is reaching far and
wide. The international Bible Stu
dents Association is supplying the
Drama, with it's various accessories,
without charge. and the public, inter
ested in Bible Study, are paying for
theatres in which it is shown.
"The Drama is going first to the lar
gest cities, but many calls from small
places will have consideration in due
time"
Pastor Russell, as usual, delivered a
discourse, taking for his text: Il be-
seech you. brethren, by the mercies of
God, that We present your bodies liv-
ing sacrifice, holy. acceptable unto God
your reasonable service. Rom. 12:1.
The Pastor began his discourse with
the declaration that the Apostle is not
addressing the world in general, but
only those who believe that God sent
His Son into the world to die for our
sins, and who have taken the step of
trusting in the blood of Christ as their
Ransom-price. Those the Apostle adj
dresses as brethren, not as sinners.
The text, therefore, may be applied
only to those who have been justified
by faith These alone may have the
further opportunity of presenting their
bodies a living sacrifice. holy and ac-
ceptable unto God
The speaker reminded his hearers
that in the typical sacrifices, offered ac-
cording to the instructions which God
gave Israel through Moses, every ami
NAL brought to the altar Of the Lord
must be without blemish-the Lord
thus indicating that no one who is in
an imperfect condition would be ac-
ceptable to Him. He then showed that
under the arrangement made for the
Church of the Gospel Age something
was done in order that the natural
bemishes of the consecrated might be
covered; for all were by nature chill
dren of wrath even as the rest of the
world That which was done for them
was the forgiveness of their sins-fg-
uratively represented as the covering
of the weaknesses of their flesh with
the robe of Christ's righteousness.

The Tabernacle a Picture.

The Pastor then refreshed the minds
of his audience with a description OF
Israels Tabernacle in the Wilderness
God gave that people instructions
through Moses to construct that Tab
ernacle, not merely for their own con-
venience in worshiping Him, but as
type. or q picture, of His great Plan
for human salvation. The Tabernacle
proper was built of boards overlaid
with gold, and was covered with skins
Around the Tabernacle was a Court
constructed of white linen curtains
hung on poles. In front of the Court
was the entrance, called the Gate.
Between the Gate and the Taber
nacle were the Brazen Altar and the
LAYER. The Altar was directly in front
of the Gate, and on it the offerings
were made. The LAYER was filled with
water for the washing of the hands
and the feet of the priests. Those
privileged to enter the court could not
reach the Tabernacle without passing
both the Altar and the LAYER. The
Tabernacle proper was in two parts,
called the Holy and the Most Holy.
In the Holy were the Golden Candle
stick. the Table of Shewbread and the
Golden Altar. In the Most Holy was
the Ark of the Covenant, upon which
rested the Shekinah light.
Thus God pictured His great Plan of
salvation. declared the Pastor. Gods
presence in the Tabernacle was rep
resented by the Shekinah glory in the
Most Holy. In the antitype, whoever
desires to draw near to God may be
said figuratively to be going toward
the Tabernacle. In the type. the Altar
of sacrifice was directly inside of the
gate, In the antique, no one can
draw near to God without first seeing

RESOLUTIONS

The Republicans Of Cooke coun-
ty in mass-convention assembled
on April 4th, 1914, adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, First: That we take
peculiar pride in endorsing the ad-
ministration of Governor B. w.
Hooper, as wise, courageous and
patriotic. We believe that Cooke
county has furnished the State
one Of the best governors it has
ever had and we will be pardoned
if we say the best. He has proven
himself to possess the requisite
mental and moral equipment for
the responsible duties of his office
and his superb courage has won
the admiration of even his politi-
cal opponents. He has never
faltered in what he conceived to
be right, nor has he ever violated
any pledge that he has made to
the people. He has stood for all
that is best in civil government
and has had the support of the
law abiding citizens of the State,
who stand for law enforcement
and honesty in elections, regard
less of party. He has even
brought to his standards the
Regular Democracy of Tennessee

We believe that the people of
Tennessee may be pardoned if
they refuse to entrust the temper
ance laws, law enforcement laws
and election laws to those who
have so recently been their enc
mics and the people must be par
doned if they accept their profess
sions of conversion with the same
caution with which these same

propose to give YOU
AT the close of McMahan's
speech Judge Cate reported the
resolutions which strongly en-
dorsed the action of Governor
Hooper in dealing with questions
and policies of his administration.
Following the report, while the
committee on delegation was still
out, Judge Cate was called upon
to speak. He spoke interestingly
for several minutes touching upon
the campaign issues of today, and
calling attention to principle and
the exercise of right in the true
citizen who believes in good gov
eminent, free from party corrup-
ton and unclean politics.
The resolutions strongly en-
dorse Gov. Hooper and Judge
Williams and also endorse the
movement to secure a congress
ional primary in the First district.
A long list of delegates to Nash
vile was selected.

of Ex-Gov. Patterson, and they
need not feel hurt nor surprised
if the people say that they
changed their attitude for political
reasons and without any change
of heart.
We believe that we should con-
tinue in the office of Governor the
man who has brought about this
wonderful chance in the politics
of this State. He has been tried
and not found wanting. His cour-
age and ability are admitted and
we believe that it would be unsafe
to risk the protection Of our tenn
perance, law enforcement and
election laws to those who were
so recently their avowed enemies.
We therefore instruct the dele
gates this day appointed to the
State Convention which convenes
at Nashville on the 18th inst. to
cast the votes of the County for
Gov. Hooper for the nomination
for Governor.
Resolved, Second: That we en-
dorse the record which Judge Sam
C. Williams has made as one of
the Judges Of our Supreme Court.
He has fully demonstrated his fit
ness for this high office, in char
acter ability and legal attainments.
Being fit and efficient we believe
he is entitled to fill the unexpired
term of his predecessor, Senator
Shields and we therefore favor
the endorsement of his candidacy
by the State Republican Conven-
ton and the delegates are in
structed accordingly.
Resolved. Third: That we ap.
prove of the efforts made and be.
ing made by the two rival Con-
gressional Committees of the First
Congressional District to settle
their differences and believe that
this can be done without sacri-
ficing principle by either Commit
tee, and we earnestly urge that
these Committees settle their diff
ferences to the end that we may
/ have only one candidate for Con-
gress nominated in a fair primary
and under such conditions that he
may have the united support OF
the party in the November cleo
ton. We believe this to be the
the sentiment of at least 80 per
cent of the Republicans of the dis
trict. Tho Committee responsible
for a failure to agree will receive

Each Citizen is Responsible
For the Condition of
Our Streets.
FLIES WILL SOON Be HERE
There Are Places in Newport Con-
tanning Sufficient Bacteria to
Kill Every Resident in it.-A
Civic League Should Be Organ
lied Here as Well as Other
Cities to See That the City is
Kept Clean and Beautiful.

Since spring has come and ma
ture looks so fresh and bright,
one cannot help but wish that
Newport would have another
cleanup week. Newport as a
growing city, should have enough
pride about itself to clean up its
streets and alleys, and unsightly
premises, of which there are sew
eral in the business heart of the
city.
Just as each property owner is
compelled to install city water and
sewers, just so should each dwell
er be responsible for the condi-
tons existing in and around his
property. The official staff of the
city has the authority to compel a
property owner to clean up his
premises, but why don't they en-
force their authority? They can,
if they will.
There are places in Newport
containing sufficient typhoid bact-
eria to kill every person in New
port. We have only to let them
reach our supply of water or con-
taminate our food and Newport
will have an epidemic of fever.
Summer is coming and with it
the pests of humanity, flies and
germs. If we want to live we
must be clean. There is bound
to be serious trouble if the sources
and breeding places of these
things are not destroyed.
There are only two streets in
Newport. Just think! And other
towns the size of Newport have
cleaner and better kept streets
than we have. Its a pretty shift
less town that won't clean up its
streets. The other day we heard
that the one thing wrong with
Newport was, that the streets
were so dreadfully dirty. Of
course we apologized for that and
said that a few days previous to
this, a train bearing several cars
of empty cans and other trash
was wrecked in Newport and that
we had scarcely had time to re-
move the litter. They were salts
fled, but we believe it would be
easier to clean up the town than
to manufacture excuses. Some
one said recently that there was a
demand for pictures taken of bare
spots, ugly street corners, etc., by
the Civic League throughout the
United States and had the audacity
to tell us that a photographer
could be profitably sent to New
port. Wouldn't we lie Mortified
to see a picture in the Ladies'
Home Journal of one of Newport's
ugly spots ? Well, if we are not
careful that's what will happen.

Attorney John H. Simerly was
elected chairman Of the conven-
ton, there being no voice of op-
position. Before taking his seat
Mr.. Simerly spoke eloquently for
about ten minutes in terms highly
complimentary to Governor Hoop

He said that he believed the con-
vention would and should be of
one opinion and one voice in in
structing for Governor Hooper

did record as chief executive of
