Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Gallant six hundred.

So the good soldier of Jesus Christ
will obey orders. Enlistment means
entire surrender, and ~henceforth the
great question of life is, Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do?" Nor will he
argue the question of duty, but invari-
ably give his master the benefit of the
doubt. 1t is to be feared that some
disciples have not reached this point.
w. A Good Soldier Will Endure
Hardship.-He expects it. Sleepless
nights and weary days, forced marches
and scanty fare, probable sickness and
possible death-these are what he
looks forward to; but if these are the
price of liberty he is willing to pay it.
When Garibaldi was going out to bat
tie he told his troops what he wanted
them to do. They said:
General, what are you going to give
us for all this"
Il don't know what else you will
get; but you are sure to get hunger
and cold and wounds and death. How
do you like it?"
His men stood for a moment in 81
lence then they cried, 1--WE are the
men, we are the men," That is the
spirit of the true soldier, and how
Common it is, thank God!
When the first Napoleon was in his
glory, he had what he called his Old
Guard, a body of tried veterans, picked
men from the whole army. He always
held them in reserve; but when dan
ger was imminent he would ride along
the line and say, Soldiers of the Old
Guard, the liberties of France are in
your hands. You have never failed her
yet and l know you will not now, Sol
diers of the Old Guard, forward
march," Instantly from the whole
battalion would come the cry, give
Napoleon! Vive la France!" and with
n wild hurrah they would follow him
into the thickest of the fight to the
cannon's mouth, anywhere, and always
to victory-always but once.
Soldiers of Jesus Christ, your mas
ter needs an Old Guard in every
church, a little company of tried mel
and women upon whom he can always
rely, workers who will not shirk nor
complain, who are willing to do their
own share, and more, too, if necessary
Who will join the Old Guard?

of the last % years, and they are be-
ginning to inquire whether the popu-
lar demand for new leadership is ac-
tually so strong as to give this new
man the greatest political prize over
which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man..
Estabrook is a big TAI physically,
mentally and politically. Quite six
feet in height, erect. rugged, he would
be a man of commanding presence in
any gathering. His mental attainments
are attested by his signal success in
the practice of law and by the wide
spread interest in his every public ut
terance on governmental, economic
and social problems. He has always
been a student and when he discusses
q subject he speaks with the author
ity of one who has mastered 1t. His
conclusions are invariably sound. and,
once he has arrived at them, they are
proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, for
he Is essentially a man with the cour-
age of his convictions.
For instance, he has been one of the
most drastic critics Of President Will
son and the present Democratic adj
ministration, arraigning them for their
tariff law which bankrupted the fed
eral treasury and which places the
American farmer, the American manu-
facturer, and the American laborer at
the mercy of foreign competition, and
for a foreign policy which has destroy
ed the respect that the American flag
and American citizens ono command
ed in every quarter of the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.
Likewise Mr.. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline a concrete program of national
defense, which he presented in al ad-
dress before the American Bankers
Association September Sth last at Seat
tie, characterized by the Seattle Times
as zone of the most remarkable adj
dresses ever delivered In the North
west" and he was the first Republican
leader to point the way to the reunion
and h~armonizing of all elements of the
party, his "Get-Together'' plea before
the Mckinley Club Of Omaha, NeDraS
ka, last October, having attracted wide
spread attention.
From the time Mr.. Estabrook open
ed the Republican National campaign
in Chicago in 1896 he has been recog-
nized as one of the ablest campaigners
In the United States. and there have
been few speakers in greater demand.
The issues in the great contest OF
1916, which is to restore the Republic
an party to the administration of ma
tional affairs, will be Protection, Pros
perity, and Preparedness, in Mr.. Esta-
brooks judgment, with "Get-Together'
as the slogan for Republicans of every
shade Of opinion. He has been preach
ing this gospel in all sections of the
country, and has met with enthusiastic
receptions everywhere he has gone.

Christians; but, above all, there dwellS
his lord and master, whose constant
prayer is, Father, l will that they also
whom thou hast given me be with me
where 1 am. hat they may behold my
glory"
Nor does the good soldier stop to
inquire whether all the members are
c%ongenial or faithful. If every mem
Der but himself were unfaithful, it
would still be his duty and privilege
to join the church because Christ is
there.
Should a soldier refuse to put on
the uniform his sincerity would be
questioned. The follower of Jesus
Christ who refuses to join the church
is justly liable to the same suspicion.
Moreover, he damages the very
which he desires to help, for an out
slider who ought to be in the church
brings as much reproach upon the
cause as an insider who ought to be
out.
gle Himself With Outside Matters
What would you think of a soldier who
should report for duty bringing with
him a dog and a fishing rod and a BIZ
cycle? He would doubtless be told
that while these things were well
enough in their place, he was expected
to fight and not to amuse himself.
1t is said that a soldier who enlisted
in the Civil wal took along his kit of
w~atchmaker's tool and while they
were in camp he did considerable bust
ness. But one day when the order
came to strike tents and prepare for
battle, he locked around his tent in
dismay and exclaimed, why, I can't
possibly go, for l have twelve watches
to repair which l have promised by
Saturday night"
That nan had forgotten what he en-
listed for. In like manner there are
Christians who %entangle themselves
with worldly companions and question
able amusements to such an extent as
to greatly hinder their usefulness and
influence.
III. A Good Soldier Obeys ORDERS
He simply goes where he is sent and
does what he is told to do. Seldom
does he know the full intent of even
his own movements. Like the brave

Wrong Views of the Kingdom.

Peculiar and conflicting views re
specting the Kingdom of God are held
by Protestants. Much more logical,
but equally unscriptural, is the view
held by Roman Catholics. The confu-
sion of Protestants is lamentable,
Some hold hat somehow the Kingdom
of God began at Pentecost; others
hold that somehow it began when
Jerusalem was destroyed. Yet all of
them realize that Jesus promises re-
speeding His Second Advent must still
be future.
Roman Catholics hold that about the
year 800 A. d. they set up the King
dom of God. first by eXalting the cler-
gy to be a special class, and hen by
establishing a spiritual rule over the
kings and princes of earth in the name
of Christine Popes being recognized
as Christ's ~vicegerents, as reigninS in
His stead. as His substitutes. Kings
and princes of earth were informed
that they might continue to rule II
they would be obedient to the Papacy
and that otherwise, the latter would
appoint other rulers in their stead.
The rulers of Europe readily assented
to this partnership, by which the peo-
pie would recognize them as having
Divine authorization to rule. Matters
have progressed in this way for clever
hundred years. Austria and Hungary
still fully assent to the Divine power
in Papacy, though others of the king
doms of Europe have more or less
broken the pact.
All intelligent people, Catholics and
Protestants, now perceive that a ser1-
Gus mistake was made, that the king
doms of this world never were Christs
kingdoms, and hat the name Christen-
dom has been misapplied to them,
That name signifies Christ's Kingdom;
and it is very inappropriate to apply
the term to the warning European ma
lions, seeking to blow each other off
the face of the earth.

The daily papers have attracted
our attention to the record. breaking
attendance at the State fair this
week. The promoters of that enter
prise are pleased to continue to style
this as Harvest Jubilee week. and
doubtless many of the counties of
our State can rejoice because of a
goodly harvest this year, especially
those which did not feel the disas-
trous effects of the July storm and
the consequent demoralizing disap-
pointment among their people.
Williamsburg county has excellent
resources, pluck and intelligence.
What more does any county need to
keep her in line with the march of
material progress? Let US remember
that November is Jubilee week with
US. Our harvest is not so great as it
would have been but for the disas-
ter last summer, but We yet have
health, energy. resources and intelll-
gence. Let US come together fair
week, ,mingle with each other and re-
joice that our blessings are so many.
The first day of the fair will be
everybody's day, and we expect a
record breaking crowd; we shall have
with US that day the Chief Executive
of the State, Gov R | Manning, who
will give US some ideas that will do
good to every man in every walk of
life. He is just back from the boil
weevil section of the cotton States,
and his advice and observation will
be of great help to US in combating
the devastating effects of this pest
in the near future. Let every farm
er come and hear him.
November 9 will be farmers day,
and we shall have our junior Senat-
or, Hon E D Smith, who is in close
touch with the federal governm ent.
He is not only in position to tell US
things worth knowing but also to do
things for US worth doing. Those

to come on the 9th.
The third day. November 10, will
be educational day, and day of ed
ucation it will surely be for all who
come. Ex Congressman Robert B
Scarborough of Conway will address
us on the subject of education. Mr.
Scarborough is one of the brainiest
men in our State, and anything COM
ing from him will be worth your
closest attention. If you are at all
interested in education, for your
own sake, as we'll as that of your
child, your neighbor or your county,
come and hear this speaker. This
day will bring together all the schol-
ars of our county, some six thousand
odd in number, and our children will
rejoice that we are all pulling to-
gether for the upbuilding of our
county along all lines of progress.

Details of the Night Session.

St. Lous-While the convention was assembling for the night session to nominate President Wilson 1t be- came known the Nebraska delegation planned to withdraw the vice presi- dency candidacy of Governor More head.
 Before the convention was called to order the Coliseum was so full that the fire department took charge of the entrances and permitted no more to come in. William J. Bryan was stopped at the door. Senator James learned of the Nebraskan's plight and rescued him. Then the Nebraskan got his usual uproarious reception.
 Chairman James rapped the conven- tion to order.
 Rev. w. J. Hardesty, chaplain of the Missouri senate, offered prayer.
 Senator Thompson then moved 8 suspension of the rules to permit Mir. Bryan to speak. When the motion was put there were some "Noes," but the chairman ruled two-thirds had voted in favor.
 Senator James introduced Mir. Bryan as lone of the leading citizens of the world and America's, greatest Democrat"
 In spite of the distracting influence of the mob at the doors and the laughs that rose occasionally when a bedrag- gled leader finally forced his way into the convention hall Mir. Bryan held his audience.
 Applause was frequent and thunder ous. He spoke for forty-five minutes, finishing at 10:Q7.
