SAYS NO PEACE
WHILE SIN RULES
Rev. Thomas Advocates Pre-

We should prepare for war and

tor of the First Brethren church.
Sunday morning. in his address be-
fore the members Of the Montauk
tribe No. 426, Order of Redmen, on
the subject Preparedness.
Rev. Thomas spoke of three rea-
sons why we should prepare for war
and peace.
I'VE should be prepared because
Cf the unsettled conditions in Eu-
rope and Mexico. The method of
the hour should be to prepare. 1t
is a new thing to the world, but is
an old gospel message being repro
duced and brought back. We re-
member that Jesus sent on John
the Baptist to prepare the way for
Him.
There can never be peace while
sin is ruling the world. Sin is the
greatest enemy we have and it has
declared. war on the whole world,
Lot a part of il, but the entire uni
verse. To win against this enemy
we must prepare and put on the
whole armor which is the word of
God, salvation, Righteousness and
faith. -.-..-
"Sin can be met and conquered
and peace will come to the heart.

ness is when the gospel said Pre-

TELLS HOW LIVES
MAY Be CHANGED
Rev. c. A. Decker Says Envi-
rOnment Due in Part to
Mans Spiritual Welfare.

That great changes can be made
b. individuals as in nature by chang
ing the environment was the point
o. the sermon delivered By Rev. c.
4. Decker. pastor Of the First Bap-
fist church. sunday morning lie
used as his theme. The Desert Be
comes a Garden"
In illustrating his point. he said;
Looking around him the prophet
saw his native country was lai6
waste as a desert But by the pro
phetlc vision ne looked into the
future and saw the same country
blossom like the garden of Eden,
and her desert like the garden Of the
Lord. JOY and gladness were to be
found therein. thanksgiving and the
voice of melody.
Now we are interested in this
vision of the prophet only because
81 gives as an illustration of what
may take place in the life Of an indi-
vidual who has been made desc
late by sin. II is the suggestion of
q power that can transform human
life
How may the desert become fer
tile and beautiful In the spiritual
sphere the same as in the natural
by the application OF those forces
which have in them the regenerating
power
Must Change Conditions.
First of all there must be chang
ed conditions regarding moisture
and fertilization. That is TO say, a
new atmosphere. A new environ
ment must be produced. This some
times requires an effort. But it is
possible in the barren life as IL is in
the desert country. I'm the west they
are discovering today that the waste
lands can be made TO blossom when
the irrigation systems are Installed.
Into this soil that is thus pre-
pared must be scatt red the good
seed II nothing gr il may be
due 10 the fact that 40 ed has been
sOwn. Gods truth is the seed and
il will surely produce the harvest if
il is rightly planted But this seed
must have some attention if il is
ever TO amount TO anything Deserts
are such because t,.ey have hitherto
been neglected Now they are being
transformed because some attention
is being paid to them Human life
has been redeemed from desOlation
and death in the same way. The ap-
pliCaJiCn of those vital powers which
fyod Centralized and which are re-
leased by faith and prayer can trans
form any life no matter how bar
rem il may he"

RAILROADS OUT IN
STATEMENT ABOUT
INCREASED WAGES

| WASHINGTON, d. c., May 12.-"The
extent of men employed in freight ser
vice On railways in the Southeast
would be increased, should the de-
mands for the eight-hour basic day and
for time and half for overtime be
granted, is best shown by illustrations
from actual service conditions" says
statement issued today by the Exec
utive committee of the Southeastern
Railways.
About one-half of the Southeastern
roads are, in through freight serv' e,
required to pay the minimum days - re
for 100 miles or less at the end of
hours and about one-half pay the min
imum day at the end of hours. The
overtime rate in through freight SER
vice on most of these lines is 60 cents
per hour. In the Eastern and Western
territories 10 hours as a rule constI-
tute a minimum day for 100 miles or
less.
Taking for example an engineer on
Southeastern line who takes 10
hours to complete a run of 100 miles
or less, using an engine for which his
minimum days pay is $40 and his
overtime rate 60 cents per hour. On a
line where the eight-hour basis pre-
walls he is now paid $3.50 if on duty 10
hours On line where the nine-hour
basis prevails he is paid $500.
Under the conditions which the
men are demanding, the overtime rate
ca $40 engine would be lifted from
&c cents per hour to $1.O1 per hour and
for running the same 100 miles or less
in 10 hours as at present the engineer
would receive $742.
I'm local freight service the stan
dard day in the Southeast, as in other
territories, is now 10 hours and the
prevailing rate for the engineer is
$j.75 with overtime at go cents per
hour.
Should the demands for the eight
hour basic day with time and a half
for overtime be granted, the overtime
ratest would be lifted from 60 cents to
$l.08 per hour, and the engineer run
ming the same 100 miles or less in 10
Eours would be paid $791 per day in
Ttead of 1915. as at present.
The same rate of increase would be
shown by comparison for conductors.
brakemen and firemen."
