PEOPLE Want
STREETS OILED
Here Is a Splendid Opportunity For
the Business Mems Club to
Get Busy.

We certainly hit upon a popular
subject last week in an article by
one Of the readers of the Advocate
calling the attention Of the citizens
of Mt. Sterling to the necessity for
the oiling and watering of the
streets of this city. We have re-
ceived the following letters COM
mending the steps we have taken in
this matter which we are publishing
in the hope that some immediate
action will be taken in the matter:
"Bully for you! Keep up the
good work, and in two weeks time
we should see our streets freed from
this miserable dust. 1t only needs
a few public spirited men to get a
move on them to get the ball roll
ing. When / visit other towns anG
note the oiled streets where they
have brick and see the water carts
going their rounds, I always wonder
why it is that we have Jagged be-
hind other places in this respect.
Suppose we were asked to oil even
the pixies as many Central Kentucky
counties have done for years. Sure
ly we can oil our streets if our
neighbors can afford to oil county
roads. Get a committee at work and
do something" (Not signed.)

During the days OF Neros reign,
when Christ's followers were used as
torches in this tyrant's garden, a cuE
tured Roman said in derision: to the
lowly follower of the Christ of the
world: Where is your carpenter
now?' The loyal disciple promptly
replied: He is making a coffin for
Nero, your master. That was true.
THE gentle Christ lifted up the
hearts Of the people Of Rome by the
tenderness Of His love, to such heights
that there was to be found no place

Spend Time in Prayer.
..Let us spend much time in prayer
for these so-called christian nations
and their rulers. Though the god OF
war should continue to use the beast
ly passions Of men for his deadly
work; though all the churches and
cathedrals of the world should be laid
low: though all the trenches OF Ypres
be filed with heroes blood: though
the fairest flowers Of German. Rus
sian, English, French, and Austrian,
chivalry wither and die on the field OF
battle; though the eye of faith pc
blinded by the war clouds. Though
all these calamities befall the nations
now at war. yet we should take our
stand by the side Of Jesus Christ our
Lord and pray for these powers now
In their deadly conflict.
I'VE should have faith strong
enough to believe that in the near
future there will come times Of peace
then never before will this song OF the
angels have been so sweet to this old
world:

on earth peace, good will toward
men,.

prayer was held in the auditorium Of
the Y. w. C. A. building, last evening.
beginning at 1880.
w. M. Baker, pastor of the First
Christian church. had charge of the
service. His theme was: Prayer
for the Nations and Their Rulers
After reading the following scrip
lures: Romans 1S:1-7: Peter 2:13-
II. and / Timothy 2:1-2. Mr.. Baker
said In part:
From the careful reading of Pauls
instruction in this part of his letter
to the congregation at Rome, and from
the teaching In this letter Of Peter to
christians in the Roman empire, we
plainly see that organized govern
ment is ordained of God. This does
not necessarily imply that in every in
stance, the individual ruler is or
dained OF God.
AT the very time Of these letters
the tyrant Nero was on the throne Of
the Roman empire, kindling his fires
for the martyrs of the church.
THE greatness and goodness Of
were the inspiring motives for these
two empire builders. Paul and Peter.
They taught that the power to rule
came from God. and showed that II
was the christians privilege and duty
to honor and respect the rulers and all
others who were in authority.
This was for the ultimate purpose
<,f y,,,tf {uu icf tn, mir
every throne and behind every scep-
ter, that one Lord might rule over
the hearts OF all men.
Prayer for Rulers and Countries.
Paul said; 4 exhort therefore,
that. first of ali, supplications. prayers,
intercessions, and giving OF thanks,
be made for all men; for kings, and
for all that are in authority: that
We may lead quiet and peaceable
life in all goodness and honesty
"As understand the purpose Of
these meetings. it is to come together
to offer prayers in behalf OF the great
problems OF the world. These topics
were arranged by the Evangelical
Alliance. representing the various re-
lfgiOus bodies of the christian church
in different parts of She world. These
cody men are calling, with all the
earnestness OF thair consecrated
hearts, upon the CHRISTIAN church
throughout the civilized world to
spend a whole weelE upon her knees
in earnest prayer and pleading to God
for His blessings upon the nations
and their rulers.
Paul and Peter, prime ministers Of
the kingdom, urged the members of
the early church to pray constantly
for the rulers Of the world.
The same messages should touch,
the hearts Of Christ's followers dur
ing this good year 1915, more deeply
than at any other time in the history
OF christianity.

Queen Victoria many years, ago
was sitting by a window in one OF
her palaces when one Of her grand
children suddenly shot by her head.
The child had fallen from all upper

dashed cut its brains. The effect up
Oh the queen was, as might have
been expected, distressing and with
her nerves shattered and her sorrow
unbounded she was made TO realize
that the spirit OF the little one which
she but a short time before had been
fondling mad taken its sudden flight.
1t was sad bereavement for the
royal family. but in the light of pre-
sent events the child escaped troubles
which other members of that royal
band are experiencing today.
The question is often asked, What
would Queen Victoria and the Prince
Consort say OF present day procc-
dures had their lives been prolonged?
While they arc quietly sleeping side
by side at Trogmorc their grand
children arc dcluging the world with
blood and devastating countries
which less than Il year ago were ell
Toying the blessings of peace and
prosperity. King George, King Viii
ham and Car Nicholas have IN their
veins the blood of the English Queen
end Prince Albert. There probably
never WIS royal couple more de-
~oted TO each other than Victoria and
Albert: The Queens consort was
taken from her side when he was
entering his forties. Victoria never
recovered from this sad bereavement /
and her days Of mourning virtually !
ontinucd throughout the remainder
Of her long life.
The shades of Victoria and Albert
are now looking down upon their
grandchildren who have prccipltat-
