Declared That Present War Wa
Started BY The Devil; Reign Of
Sin To End
from Mondays Daily.

For more than fifty years Sew
cntlDay Adyentists. have preached
that the Turkish empire would come
TO it's end and now the end OF that
nation is at hand said Elder q. W.
Wells Of Minneapolis at the local
church last evening. Turkey VII
be forced out of It's present position
and will move the scat of It's govern!
ment TO Jerusalem. The nations or
the world have long been watching
that strip of country. and have kept
Turkey there SO that none OF the
world powers, especially Russia.
would get possession OF Constantine.
pie. ..
Turkey would have been driven
out long ago had II not been that
England has kept II there because
Russia has long desired that port az
an outlet for that country's com.
merce. But now the end is in sight
Russia was never more pleased than
when Turkey entered the present
war Then the contamination OF the
desire she has had since the time OF
Peter the Great seemed TO be at
hand. England sent word to the Turks
that they were ringing their own
death knell If they took sides with
Germany.
What Prophecy Says.
Prophecy says that Turkey shall
come to her end, and none shall help
her. Under the figure of the king
of the north" I'm the eleventh chapter
of Daniel the destiny OF that ma.
ton is foretold. and. taken in con-
nection with the prophecies OF the
Revelation, it is shown that the end
of that power is at the time OF the
falling of the plaques that tell OF
the pouring out of the unmingled
wrath OF God upon those who do
not keep His commandments.
at will not do to wait until Tur-
key comes TO its end TO begin to
obey God. At that time the destiny
| OF every soul will have been settled.
We are now living In a momentous
time. a time in which the world
will see the return OF the Lord to
claim His own people"
Perhaps the largest audience that
the local church ever seated was
present to hear the sermon. Com.
menting upon the present war, he
said that some people blamed this
or that king for starting the war.
The devil started IT, But God has
more than this little world in view.
He will soon bring to an end the
reign of sin"

Would be Fatal Mistake.

Lieutenant Governor Cox drew
nearly $1,000 from the State
Treasury for services rendered
the State as Governor while Gov
ernor Wilson was gallivanting
over the country making speeches
at college banquets and other
wise enjoying himself. He vast
ed more time and rendered less
service for his salary than any
Governor that ever occupied the
Executice chair. Wilson was
such a monumental failure as
Governor that his audacity in
seeking the Senstorship is meet
ing with ridicule in every quar-
ter. He is not an orator,
Statesman or a thinker. His ig-
norance Of public questions is re-
markable. He has no claim on
the favor Of the public except his
vanity which finds expression in
his belief that he is fitted for this
high office. He became Governor
through Democratic dissession
and he is foolish enough to be-
lieve that he can again profit by
division in Democratic ranks.
The election of Wilson would be
a fatal mistake, and there is
small danger that Kentucky will
stand for such blunder.-Clas-
cow Times.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET

The teachers Of the City
Schools are canvassing the city
for the purpose of ascertaining
the number Of homes which will
be available for the entertain
ment of the visiting teachers ard
trustees who will attend the
Ninth District Educational As
sociation which will meet here in
November. 1t is estimated that
there will be about six hundred
visitors here for three days which
will mean an expenditure Of NOT
less than one thousand dollars
d day on their part, TO say moth
ing Of the value TO the city Of
having a meeting Of this charac-
Ter in it's midst.
1t is hoped that the residents
of Mt. Sterling will show tneir
interest in educational affairs an d
willingness to help in this great
work by agreeing to board as
many Of the visitors as they can
possibly accommodate. All will
pay whatever rate is decided up
on and no one will ask, or ex-
pect, free board and lodging.
II it is worth while for Louis
VILE and other cities to expend
large sums Of money in order to
secure conventions, Mt. Sterling
should be glad of the opp rton-
sly 10 entertain such a gathering
AS the one in question and we
hope that practically all Of the
homes in the city will be thrown

CRUEL WAR!

Woefully ignorant of how deep

ing of the underlying issues OF

realize that one of its victims
one man whose name is already
enrolled upon the casualty list
is Theodore Roosevelt.-New
York Herald.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1914-10-21

The United States has a Pres
ident who refuses TO leave his
work TO take part in the Con-
gressional campaign because of
the situation brought on by the
European war.
Thus once more the country is
made to realize that Woodrow
Wilson is a man TO whom the
good Of the nation over which
he has been called to preside is
the first and overwhelming con-
sideration. A man who, as chef
executive OF this great nation,
wrote his message to the warning
powers in which he rendered his
good offices to them for the set
tlement of their difficulties, at the
side of his dying wife, is the kind
of man from whom such a course
is to be expected. But it raises
still more in the esteem of his
fellow-citizens, nevertheless.
From all over the country and
from widely differing sources
there comes a strong, emphatic
and continually greater express
sion of satisfaction that our
country has man like him for
President now.
The confidence reposed in him
by the nation when it elected him
chief magistrate has grown since
he has been in Office. The public
has found that he has justified,
and more than justified, its con-
hdence, and he is today stronger
with the public than ever before,
n Notwithstanding the fact that he
has been through some difficult
and trying experiences as Presi-
dent. The success of his Mexican
policy alone, policy followed in
spite of criticism, calumny and
ridicule, has given him the sup
port of hundreds of thousands of
voters.
The country has a President of
whom it is proud and in whom it
trusts.-Schenectady Gazette.

A RECORD WHICH
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

1t is evident that the foreign
war has thrown upon the Chief
Executive an extraordinary
weight of duties which will leave
him no time to take any part in
the coming Congressional cam
paign.
That campaign from the DEM
ocratic side calls for no such ef-
fort. The record made is one
which speaks for itself. To have
reformed the tariff, to have light
ened the burden of taxation on
the consumption of the masses,
to have reformed the currency
and banking, to have restored the
nations regard for the sanctity OF
treaties in the Panama Canal tolls
legislation, to have cleared up the
debatable ground around the an
thrust laws, to have opened the
way for the restoration of the
American merchant marine
these are among the acts of this
'Sixty-third Congress to date
which make the President under
state rather than overstate the
truth when he says that is has
been more fruitful in important
legislation of permanent useful
ness to the country than any 9th
er session of Congress within the
memory of the active public men
of our generation"
The plan calls for no pretense.

ment of things actually done. p

O'Rear Not For Wilson.

If what Judge T. {. O'Rear,
formerly of the Court of Appeals,
and Republican nominee for Gov
emor against Governor Nc
Creary, has to say about Gus
Wilson could be printed, it
would make very lively reading.
He has neither confidence nor
respect for the Ex-Governor and
is only awaiting an opportunity
TO expose him. The basis for his
dislike is said TO be the disloyality
Of Wilson during the last cam
paign, when he never turned a
hand to help the party nominee.
Vigorous efforts have been made
to get Judge O'Rear to take the
stump for Wilson, but if he does
make any speeches they will not
be in favor of the oleaginous and
uncertain Gus, whose opportun-
ity with the Republican leaders
is giving his party man. ayers
