PREACHED AGAIN WHERE
HE PREACHED 80 YEARS AGO

A day long to be remembered by
the people of the Cooper and Crom-
well communities was last Sunday,
April s, when in the presence of a
very large and appreciative audience
Rev.-B. F. Jenkins preached to them
from the same text from which he
preached his first sermon in the
same schoolhouse just fifty years
before. The text was Revelations
18th chapter and 18th verse.
In his discourse he referred quite
often and very feelingly to many
events and remembrances of his
early life and those who had been
the friends, companions and asso-
ciates of his youth. He very pathet-
ically spoke of the fact that in all
the vast audience that greeted him
upon this occasion there was no one
present who had heard him fifty
years before.
During his fifty years in the min
istry he has been the pastor of Al
churches, conducted 293 protracted
meetings, has seen converted under
his preaching Al Baptist ministers,
has baptized 23 of them, and in all
his work has baptized approximately
10000 souls.
He was recently called to the pas
torate of Bells Run church, a
church he had served as pastor dur
ing his ministry for 81 years.
At the close of his discourse the
audience stood and Joined in sing
ing Gam | Soldier of the Cross"
while every one present crowded
around this grand old man, giving
him a warm, hearty hand-clasp,
while many eyes were filled with
tears and many prayers were ex-
pressed for the continued health.
happiness and usefulness OF this
grand old soul who during his fifty
years in the ministry has done so
much for the moral and spiritual

Tom Tabby Chases Butterflies
BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

TOM and Binkie Tabby were very
happy. If there was anything
L that they fairly loved to do it
was to ride in a basket on the
arm of Miss Flax, the young lady doll
who lived with their grandmother.
III bring them back safely" called
Miss Flax to Mrs. Tabby, as she went
out of the gate. IF Tommy will be

a grin and did not promise anything
for he did not know whether he was
going to be good or not Mrs. Tabby
disappeared into the house and Miss
Flax went on down the road. BE quiet
now" she said, for if you don't you
will fall OUT Both kitty boys laughed,
but kept on giggling and tickling one
another.
Finally Miss Flax sat down by the
road and rested the basket in dis
gust. Tom and Binkie hoped out at
once and scampered away into the
grass. I'm going to start" called Miss
Flax, "and you had better come along.
I won't carry you another step,
either"
She set off in very determined
manner, and the two kitty boys romped
along behind. please carry US just
once more" begged Tommy, catching
up with her. She leaned over and lifted
them one at a time into the basket ,
This is the last chance you have" she
warned them. zone more bit of quar-

They were just as good as gold for
quite a distance, but soon Tom spilled
oyer the edge, caught Binkie as he
fell, and Miss Flax, too Disguised to
bother with them, hurried on with the
basket empty.
They were nearly at their grand
mothers house by this time, and rushed
in ahead of Miss Flax. Grandmother
Tabby was glad to see them, and Miss

been on the way over. She caught Tom

Would Organize Peaceful
Army of 22O,0O0,OOO to
End the European War

New York, Jan. "A peaceful army
of 220,000,00O soldiers Of both sexes, re-
cruited from neutral countries, as the
best method of stopping the war, was
the startling suggestion put forward at
banquet here. The guests waited
until nearly midnight to hear all of
the demonstrative speech of former as
sistant attorney general Beck. who
was introduced as the greatest author
ity on the cause of the war.
The climax came near the end Of Mr..
Beck's address, when he proposed that
the United States, as the greatest Of
neutral nations interested in the Euro
pean struggle, should call an immedi-
ate conference Of all neutral nations
with a view to at least limiting the
scope OF the war, if not end it alto
gether. Mr.. Beck said in part:
in my Judgment the United States
could and should ask for an immediate
conference Of the neutral nations Of
the world in order to see that if any
thing can be done, if not to end a dis
astrOus war, at least to modify and
soften its horrors and reform its meth
DDS.
Have you realized how many, how
large, the population of these neutral
states is? And 1 am eliminating now
the semi-barbaric nations that could
give us little actual moral cooperation,
but I refer to nations like Italy, Hol-
land, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, the
United States, Argentine. Brazil and so
forth, and I find that in those cOuu-
tries there are 22O 100000 people. So
that If these 100000 600 of people
speaking through these neutral nations
under the primacy of the United States
could meet at once to discuss what
might be done-not necessarily with
any immediate action, not necessarily
- -, g
but simply to express their collective
judgment either upon the causes Of
the war or, at all events, upon the
methods of the war-I take II, and I
believe it to be true, that the nations
that are now struggling at each others
threats would not dare to ignore the
voice of so many nations thus formally
expressed
