REV. R. c. MARTIN WAS So DEC. 10

Rev. r. C. Martin celebrated the sd
anniversary of his birthday on Tues
day, December 10Th, at his home
with a dinner at which were present
three of his children, William and
Robert, and Mrs. Katherine Lewis of
Oakland, Calf, and other friends.
"Uncle Carter, as he is affectionate-
ly called by so many of the younger
set, is hale and hearty for one of his
age and is in splendid health. His ia
miliar form is often seen on our
streets where he loves in his genial,
cheerful way to greet his friends and
old acquaintance, who are legion.
Practically all his life has been spent
this Southeast section, and he is
known throughout the adjoining
counties, where his labors as min
lister of the Gospel often called him.
Rev. Mr.. Martin-now, if he were
he would say to US, "Don't write
Rev., put it Elder" but if faithful
Christian life and the preaching of
the Gospel, to which he was ordained,
for a half century or more, entities
one to the customary title of "Rev."
then Uncle Carter deserves to be so
called. But what we started to write
when the foregoing Interpolation in
truded itself into our thought is, that
Rev. Mr.. Martin is one of the best and
most widely known Baptist ministers
in Southeast Missouri. Many are the
older people and the younger set,
| too, who have listened to him as he
expounded the Scriptures or heard his
comforting words of consolation
when officiating at the funeral of
some dear loved one, the memory of
which fingers gratefully in their
minds; or who stood before him, man
| and maid, in the tide of vigorous
young manhood and womanhood, and
heard him pronounce the words that
] started them on their way in the
sweetest relationship of life. These
| will recall old scenes with which he
is associated in their thoughts, and
they will join us in wishing him many
more happy, contented seasons, full
of faith and hope of the eternal dawn
ing.
Robert Carter Martin was born in
| PlDSIlHdIlC Soull1y1 va DCSSiiiDCl 49,
| 1884. His parents, William and Nan
cy Davis Martin, moved to Mississippi
in 1885, where Mr.. Martin died the
same year. His mother came to Mis-
souri, when he was two years old.
She married Christopher Order in
Reynolds county, and in 1916 they
moved to this county. Mr.. Order
died in 1858, and Mrs. Order then
moved to Madison county, and thence
in 1885, came to st. Francois county,
with her son, Robert, who was the
youngest of eight children, all by her
first husband. In 1861 Robert Car
ter Martin was ordained as a United
Baptist minister, and had charge of
number of churches. For several
years, unless called upon for special
occasion, Mr.. Martin has retired
| from the active ministry.

"ABsoLEsCENT" WAR

The following is recent letter pub
lished in the st. Louis Republic, writ
ten by H. M. Butler We reprint 1t FOR
the good points it contains:
It is not a great many years ago
that slavery seemed to be fixed and
necessary institution. Sermons can
be found in our libraries defending
slavery as God-given institution,
and asserting that no power on earth
could even remove it. And yet with
in a few years after these sermons
were preached millions of people had
changed their minds, and slavery has
gone, never to come back.
an my own college library can be
seen lottery tickets which were sold
for SO apiece to help build the flrst
BAPTIST Meeting House. And people
at that time believed lotteries to be
necessary and indispensable. But the
people changed their mind and lot,
teries have passed out of our civilized
| life never to return.
1t was not a great many years ago
that dueling was thought to be abso-
lutely to preserve gentleman's hon.
or when he was insulted, and thou
sands of educated men believed that
dueling was a mark of courage and
would always be a part OF a gentle,
mans life. But the people changed
their minds and dueling has gone out
of civilized custom in Great Britain
and America and it will never return
Ten years ago nearly every bust
ness man in big cities believed that
the segregation of vice was the only
way to deal with the social evil II
cities. But the unanimous verdict Vi
the Vice Commission reports was Sc
convincing that the people have chang
ed their minds, and today no intelli
gent business man, even in a big
city, tries to defend vice as a neces
sary regulated evil.
twenty-five years ago millions o.
people all over the world believed tina
alcohol was a food and a necessar!
medicine, and absolutely necessary al
a beverage and revenue to thu
State. Today a revolution against al
cohol is sweeping over the who'll
world, prophecy of its final doom
People are changing their minds abou
liquor. And yet in spite of these stu
pendous in mems brute habits thou
sands of otherwise intelligent people
including some ministers of the gos
pei, declare that war has come t
|, stay; that we will always be in dan
ger of war; that mems passions ar
SO brutal and low that ages must pas
before the ideals of the "impractica
BILE pacifsts" can be realized.
. A world that has changed its mind o
slavery, lotteries, dueling, vice and a.
cohol, can change its mind on war.
| is an insult to humanity to say W
are always going to fight, and mus
prepare to fight. If the church an
the school and the press will do thei
/ duty in the next few years the worl
= will change its mind about war, an
one more devil will be sent to its ow
. place along with the other discarde
= passions of mankind.

AT MY MOTHERS GRAVE

The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting fowers-hke
souls at rest;
The stars shine gloriously-and an
Save me, is best
Mother!-I love thy grave!
The violet, with the blossom blue
and mild,
Waves Ger thy head-When shall it
wave
Above thy child?
IT'S a sweet ,fower-Yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming
tempest bow,
Dear mother-'tis thine emblem-dust
is on thy brow!
And / could love to die
To leave untasted life's dark, bitter
streams,
BY thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here
To stain the plumage of my sinless
years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood
dear
With bitter tears?
Aye-must l linger here,
A lonely branch upon blasted tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely sel'e,
Went down with thee?
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past l
turn,
And muse on thee; the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like a mourner on the diH,
blue wave,
/ stay to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
l gaze above-thy look is imaged
there
listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come-while here l press
My brow upon thy grave-and, M
those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child.
Yes, bless thy weeping child,
And DER thy urn-religion's hottest
shrine
Oh, give his spirit undefiled
To blend with thine.

simple lavoptik eye wash. One mans

Instead of paying the usual 10 per
cent Christmas bonus, the Directors
of the Atlas Powder Company have

The fact that the United States
Steel Corporation has untitled tonnage
orders on its books for more than 11s-
100000 tons of material suggests not
only activity and prosperity for long
time, but also the reason for delay
in the delivery of structural steel.

books to show their years work.
We would like for every one who
can to come and be with the bcys
and see what they have done and en-
courage them by their presence and
show theme they are interested in
them and their work.
This is a great work for the boys
and every one should do all they can
to encourage them i'm it. We will
have Mr.. Otis Kercher. State Agent
of Boys Pig Club, with us at this
time to judge the corn and grade the
books for the boys and then we will
award the premiums to the winners.
So come and share their JOY with
them. w. w. BROWDER.
County Agent.
