That the chief reason why. in some
societies. only a few members take
part in the business meetings Is be-

Respect For Laws.

Respect For Laws.
Missions have put into the life and
heart OF the heather respect for law
and Justice. that could not have been
planted outside of the teachings Of
missions. in a century. The mission
aries have the right idea. They go
straight 10 the foundations and pro-
vide those intellectual, physical. moral
and religious benefits upon which
alone stands true civilization. Mis-
sions lead TO civil liberty, but they
teach that the only true liberty Is that
OF Gods children living under Christs
law. which teaches one to do right and
to submit TO the laws that are formed
and sanctioned by all the followers Of
God.
Heather Sacrifice.
In the heather countries witchcraft
and superstition alone are said to be
responsible for the lives OF more peo-
pie than were killed in all the armies
Of Europe during the first year OF the
war.
In the heather lands there Is a
frightful disregard for the value OF
life The teachings Of Christianity
have done much TO give sacredness TO
the life Of human beings and TO pre-
vent the sacrifice OF children.
Il has done much towards the edu-
cation and uplifting OF the children by
building schools and mission houses.
Here the young members are gath
cred together and taught wisdom and
new ideals which cultivate and feed
their spiritual nature.
Young children are often sacrificed
because OF the superstition and ig-
nOrance Of the parents. Many babe
Is killed by striking 1t on the bridge
of the nose, or drowned In neighbor-
| ing stream because the manner OF its
birth is declared ominous Twins are
seldom allowed to live. BY slow star
vation one at least is left to die. Let
to child cut its upper teeth first and
It Is doomed for. they say. II permitted
to live. Il would bring ruin and death
to the other members of the family.
Often a sick child is subjected to the
most brutal forms of torture. The
parents usually call in a witch doctor
who cuts the little one on the hands
face. legs and feet. Fifty cuts were
recently counted on a babe only hve
months old. This is done TO let out the
evil spirits.

Missions and the War.

Missions and the War.
We are TO study this topic as IL re-
lates to the foreign mission field.
During the past year Christian mis-
sions have suffered on account OF the
war Bitterness has entered into the
relations Of those engaged in the ser
vice Of their common Lord. The
moral prestige Of Christendom has
suffered a blow from which il will
take long time TO recover.
Hundreds of devoted men and
women have seen the work built up
by the unselhsh labors OF a lifetime
swept away in the flood Many more
have had their plans upset and the
realization Of their hopes postponed.
The Armenans.
The Armenians seemed to have suf-
fered the worst. The missionaries in
/ Turkey see the work they have la
boriously built up for nearly a CEN
tury almost completely destroyed. A
large percentage OF the $1,000 900
capital invested i'm mission buildings
has been utterly lost
Some Of the stations have been
saved, and the missionaries are hold
ing bravely to their tasks OF teaching
and dispensing relief. They have dis
tributed some 100000. and a largo
number OF the women workers have
accompanied the Armenians into exile.
Uplift OF Missions.
Missions have been the means OF
uplifting the slothful and indolent
from a life OF idleness to a life of in
dustry and thrift by planting high
ideals and a desire to be and accom-
plish something in the world. Edu-
cational missions have been the
means OF teaching the natives many
a trade so that they may make theI
own way in the world. and so not de-
pend on the missionaries for help all
their lives.
II has given to many backward
people inventions and comforts OF
civilization by furnishing work and
quickening business instinct. thereby
preventing poverty and encouraging
industries that will do the most good
Teachings of Missions.
, Missions are teaching the heather
to love one another, for where the
love OF Christ has been plantd in The
, hearts Of men Il has also encouraged
a desire to impart that love to anothe
and the heart Of the One-time heather
has been blessed.
r Missions are doing much to Civ
r relief in time of famine and persecu
. ton. Seeds Of kindness and compass
sion towards a brother man has bee
the means of converted ones offer
ing their store Of food and lending
helping hand to a more unfortunat
brother when famine and distres
have been visited upon them.
Christ says, I'VE will be persecutel
for His sake" which means that al

must submit to jeers and iostling o

MENTIONED As
NEXT MAYOR
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN AND FOR
MER COMMISSIONER HAS BEEN
SUGGESTED FOR THE CHIEF EX-
ECUTlVE OF THE CITY.

There is a secret afloat in Ardmore.
1t is a secret because most everybody
knows it, besides, it was told in con-
fidence to one man who in turn told
it to another friend, etc, ad lib, and
so forth. You know how one of these
secrets remains locked in the breasts
of thousand or more people, especi-
ally in warm weather when the pores
of the skin are opened wide and per-
spiration and secrets exude with equal
facility. Well that just about de
scribes this secret that has been told
to many within the past few days,
and the only thing remaining is to
get it verified by the man in the
case"
The secret is this: j. NJ. Hoard,
former commissioner of finance who
resigned from the present board of
city commissioners some time ago, is
going to be a candidate for the office
of mayor of this city and he will make
his announcement at the proper time.
Mr.. Hoard made an excellent COM
missioner of finance, he was thorough
and businesslike in his office, and
when he left the city administration
his move was regretted by hosts of
friends and taxpayers. However, if
he seriously contemplates making the
race for mayor of Ardmore, he would
be a hard man to beat, and if elected,
would give the taxpayers an efficient
administration.
Mr. Hoard is one of the pioneers in
the city manager plan of administra-
ton and was a prime factor in secur-
ing the same for Denton, Texas be-
fore coming to this city to reside. He
is progressive and if he can be per-
suaded to make the race and is elect
ed, the citizens of the city could rest
assured that their interests would be
well guarded. When seen about this
matter, Mr.. Hoard was non-committal
and had nothing to say at this time. If
he consents to run, his platform and
principles will be announced to the
people before they cast their ballots.
