Referring to the accident that
happened to the King Of England
when he fell from his horse. the
Louisville Courier-Journal SAYS:
The enemy will get little conso.
lrtion from the mishap of the
English King. Should Wilhelm
of Germany fall from his horse
and sustain fatal injuries the
course of world history might
be change. The death Of the
Kaiser would be the death of the
German cause. The difference
between the two is England's 5
king is representative of the
people their figurehead while
the German King is the govern
ment. His voice is law.

There is good deal Of guess
ing as to the condition of affairs
in this country when the Euro.
pean war is over. By some it is
argued that Europeans will flock
10 this country in large numbers
TO start anew making a living,
while others contend that the
tide will turn the other way that
thousands of Europeans will
leave this country TO look for
their friends and relatives on the
other side. Workers will be in
demaud over the sea, to repair
the ravaGeS of war, to rebuild
cities, towns, railroads. and
bridges. Our factories engaged
now in supplying munitions of
war to Europe will be compelled
to turn their great plants to the
manufacturing Of other things.
But then there is not much need
OF specializing upon the subject
as the war shows very few signs
of closing in the near future.
With Greece and other nations
about to go into the war the end
OF the conflict seems to be very
remote.

Presiding Elder )
Farewell Sermon

rev. Maseabeau preached at
the Methodist church last Sum
day night. AS Mr.. Massa beau
has served as presiding elder in
this, the Florence district for
four years, the Methodist limit,
this was his farewell sermon to
Chesterfield.
For whosoever shall do the
will of God, the same is my
brother, and my sister and moth
er. st. Mark.
In his quiet conversational
manner, the preacher described
the scene suggested by the text.
Jesus, he thought wac surround
ed by his disciples, while in
structiI s the multitude in spir.
ltual matters, when be was in
formed that his mother and his
brethren called him. 1t is prob
able, he said, that the family of
Christ did not fully understand
him, for his doctrine was new and
strange.
20 1t was" SAID the speaker,
tnat Jesus sought to emphasiz y
the fact that spiritual ties are
stronger, hoiier and more exal.
ted han earthly or family ties.
Jesus nEaln emphasized this
truth when he said, L come not
to bring peace bur u sword Be-
fore there is peace, father must
he set against son ana mother
against daughter. This is The
most revolutionary gospel ever
taught. Relations heretofore
held to be the dearest must be
severed, pr wing that ties of the
flesh are inferior TO ,he ties OF
the spirit.
Have we ever fully grasped
the truth that the family ties
are close akin to the emotions
that control the lower animals?
A hen will protect her brood; a
hon her whelp and bear her
cubs. Beautiful though the fam
i!y ties be they are animal in or
igin aud nature.
The teaching of Christ makes
it clear shat the ties Of the spirit
are strcL Ger than these.
lu the readjustments in the
eternai kingdom all ties of the
flesh Will te lost. Physical af-
fnities-love, whose basis is
physical - cannot survive the
shock of death. Only moral and
spiritual alli0itics can survive
this "Ctaclysm to be trans - .anted
into the reolm Of the eternal
Many people are blood kin who
are not spiritual kin.
There is many an honora BILE,
spiritually minded man. with a
son who is u scapegrace. They
are blood kin. but morally, op.
posites. There is 10 spiritual
kinship.
Il believe that the ties Of the
flesh will not be translat, d to
the other side. Jesus taught
this ct the grave of Lazarus,
when he said. that in heaven
Vhey neither married nor were
given III marriage.
How important it is that
family ties be made eternal by
becoming spiritual ties through
the new birth. The earthly fam
lily tie will be lost but the eLir-
itual tie will last through all
time.
One lesson we church people
shon d lea-L from the family
to protect the weaker member.
When a mem Der of the spiritual
family is weak and has ten
dency to err, we should gather
around lin and piotect him. We
should take greater pains TO pro-
tect our spiritual kin than our
blood kin, for one is eternal and
