FAREWELL
Sermon Delivered By DR..
MCAfee At Baptist Church

walking and Talking With God
was the subject of DR.. McAfee's fare.
well sermon last night at the Baptist
church. He based his sermon on the
beautiful 23rd psalm. "The Lord is
my shepherd"
The sermon as whole was one of
kind advice and good instruction to
the new converts with many timely
hints for those who were already
Christians and church members.
After the sermon the church mem.
bers adjourned to the lower room
where the new converts were receiv-
ed for membership in the church. At
this time free will offering which
previously had been taken, was pre-.
sented TO DR.. McAfee for his services
during the meetings.
The revival meetings will come to
close with the service Sunday
evening, at which time the ordinance
of baptism will be observed.
There will be no meetings tonight
nor tomorrow night.

Of those who are willing to defend their
country. but OF those who can de-
fend II.
Those who are behind the organiza-
tion are not imbued with the spirit Of
militarism. They agree with those
who say that at a word from the pres
ident OF the United States millions of
men would swarm to the colors and
that 1t is not necessary In time Of
peace that this country maintain a
great standing army such as one as
sociates with the word militarism. No
military training In time of peace is
involved, no increase in standing army.
navy or militia, but there is cOntem'
plated taking stock of resources so
that In time OF war the government
would be able to lay Its hand immedi-
ately upon those who would be best
qualified to cope with the emergency.
There will be two active branches OF
the legion. The line Of the legion will
be composed exclusively Of men who
have had army or navy service or who
can handle high power rife and are
seasoned In taking care Of themselves
in the open.
1t is fact not generally known per
haps that the United States army and
navy keep no account Of the thousands
Of men who are annually dropped from
the service. either by resignation or by
expiration OF term Of enlistment. They
simply melt away into the great body
Of the population.
1t IL of course generally known that
in this country no data are kept Of the
activities of citizens that would enable
tho government in time Of war to pick
out at once the man or body Of men
especially adapted for particular serv-
ice. The selection Is made after the
man enlists aud his professed quail
ncations are discovered only by &C.
tual trial of his abilities In the service
Of his country.
The American legion proposes to DO
beforehand Just what the government
would have to do after 1t had enlisted
q great volunteer army and navy.
Men who have been trained as so'dieru
or sailors will be classified In detailed
records as to physique. education. char
acter of training and length Of service.
Men of special training In other he'ds
will he classified in the same way and
every applicant for membership VIII
he carefully questioned and the nature
Of his qualifications thoroughly inve"ei'
gated.
