Without any doubt we have nc
such a church on earth today,
when the above practice was
abandoned, the doctrine of the
[ Apostles was thrown to the
ground; vice. aud wickedness in
thigh places was set up. If after
you have been converted, you do
not practice what was taught by
the Apostles, Our conversion has
become vain for Paul said we
must keep in memory, that
which he preached unto us. un.
less we have believed in vain.
For he said.
Moreover, brethren, l declare
unto you the gospel which |
preached unto you, which also
We have received, and wherein
We stand. By which also We are

Yes, it is a fact that we must
have an equality among us, un.

what Paul preached unto US, for
he said, Please read,

Flies Stop the Fighting.
British Headquarters in Mesopo-
tamia, July 3d. Correspondence Of
The Associated Press. ]-Flies, heat
and dust, the three principal plaques
of Mesoptamia, are what have stop
ped the fighting for the past several
war.
Flies are so thick that soldiers
say it is impossible to keep them out
of their food. A squadron of cavalry
coming down the road looked as il
they were wearing chained armour
When they came close enough il
was found that what looked like mail
was the steely blue metallic mesh
of flies.
At night the flies disappear and
the mosquitoes and sand flies relieve
them. Many species bite or sting.
The thermometer runs up to 13(
degrees in a tent. All the men veal
sun guard over their helmets anC

sand and dust in the faces of the
men, who eat sand, breathe sand, lie
in sand, have sand in their ears, eyes
and clothes.
There are different kinds of heat
the moist and tropical heat of the
swamps of the Euphrates and the
Shat Arab, the parched and des-
ert heat of the Tigris and the Ka-
run. Each variety has it's attendant
insects and peculiar ailments, which
often take the form of boils and
eruptions. Diseaae has incapaci-
tated more troops than bullets.

platform proposed that Mr.. Hughes
should shake hanSs. Mr.. Hughes
had made a remark about his voice
being tired, and Mr.. Tawney told the
crowd that the presidential candi-
date had stated that he was too tired
to shake hands. At this Mr.. Hughes
quickly interjected that he had not
said that he was too tired to shake
hands, and he stepped down among
the people and proceeded to grasp
warmly by the hands those nearest
him. But at this moment the train
started and Mr.. Hughes had just
time to get on.
At Redwing somebody in the
crowd called out, "Hello, Charl-

discovered. Many wondered
whether it was some old ac-

candidate. However, Mr.. Hughes
was greatly pleased. The Unit

an action sagainkt Sheriff Charles
Curtis for excluding the officers
