ON THE BUSINESS PREACHER.

The recent confession of Dr. Newell Dwight Hills
from the pulpit of the Plymouth Church. Brooklyn that
ne erred IN becoming secular is in many respects the
most important statement made from the American pulpit
in this generation and If it marks high tide of min
steal lust for worldly that has flooding this
country Tor the past quarter of century then Dr. Hills
has not erred in vain
1t must be said to the credit of this noted divine that
his purpose in stepping out Of the pulpit was to acquire
the means OF rendering capable service to those
who need and deserve assistance but pathway from

DECLARES DARDANELLES
 NEVER NEAR CAPTURE

BERLIN. Dec. S0-"Turkey has an abundance of food and other ma- ,erials of all kinds which they can supply to Germany if Germany needs them." said Dr. Maxim Bey, secretary of the Young Turks com nitte and ne of Turkeys most prominent men, in S statement so the Associated Press on his arriv- al in Berlin today. 'It is only a question of transportation.
 "There is no lack of anything in Turkey. For example, we lave SC, ,0o0. 900 kilograms of cotton which Germany can have the moment she solves the transportation problem, not to speak of 10000 .ooo kilograms of reserve supplies in the shape of mattresses and other articles in Turkish homes.
 "The same is true of copper. Or this we have at least 10000 900 kilograms which Germany can have at any time"
 Because of the abundance of necessaries and of the progress of military affairs to this time, pr. Naxin Bey predicts eventual vic tory for the central powers.
 "Such success will mean inde- pendence of Turkey for the first time" he continued. There is im- measurahly less of peace propa- ganda in Turkey today than any where else. We reckon that the present conflict will last from one to two years more, but We are real lv indifferent as to the duration of the war;

Bryan Urges "Dry" Plank.

William Jennings Bryan, at con-
ference with delegates to the con-
vention of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union in In
dianapolis, Ind, advised the women
to "do everything possible to slim
ulate rivalry between the Democratic
and Republican parties in the cause
of prohibition"
1.-THE Democrats have got to take
the dry side" he said, land the Re-
publicans will be forced to it." He
reiterated his former statements
that he intended to work for con-
stitutional prohibition amendment.
Speaking of the recent election he
declared the Democrats had won in
a way to relieve them from RESPONSE
bility to the liquor interests. Mr..
Bryan advised the women to write
to their Senators and Congressman
in favor of prohibition.

The First thanksgiving Turkey.

On the gathering of the first har-
vest by the settlers of Plymouth,
after the season of sickness, priva-
ton and peril through which they
had passed, it was but natural that
their hearts should turn in gratitude
to God for his mercies. We can
feebly magazine the condition in
which they found themselves on
making their homes in the New
World, which to them was entirely
an unknown land. Through the
Summer land surely no single season
had ever before appeared SO long to
them) they had watched their scanty
fields, wrested from the dominion of
the forest; but, looking more especi-
ally to the supply which the forest
itself and ocean were to give them
for the sustenance of life during the
cold winter, the chilly breath of
which began already to herald its
approach.
But Providence had been kinder
than their fears, and as their leader,
Governor Bradford, wrote at this
time, 'they begane now to gather in
the small harvest they had, and to
fitte up their houses and dwellings
against Winter, being all well re-
covered in health and strenth, and
had all things in good plenty. And
now began to come in store of foule,
as winter approached; of which this
place did abound when they first
came (but afterward decreased by
degrees; and beside water foule Their
was great stor of wild turkeys, of
which they took many, beside veni-
son, etc. Beside Their had about a
peck of meal weeke to person. or
now since harvest, Indian corn to
that proportion"
1t is easy to imagine how the deli
cious fish of the wild turkey must
have appealed to the palates and the
stomachs of the settlers, whose bill
of fare during the Winter, Spring
and Summer had not too much
variety; how from the very nature OF
things the mammoth bird, prepared
in the best manner available, should
hold the place of honor in the center
of the table.
The subject of the Thanksgiving
dinner might be pursued at any
length as it is one of universal in
terest and appealing to many OF the
best instincts of the human heart.

Thirteen Months to Congress.

One of our contemporaries calls
attention to the fact that the newly
elected Congress, unless convened in
extra session, does not meet until
December, 1917. Almost every one
will admit that this arrangement is
anomalous, and contrary to all prin-
ciples of successful business.
In private life, if you employ a
new man you want him on the job
ut once. Holdovers can not be ex-
peCted to put much energy into their
work. II you are taking on new
set of men or new ideas, you want
to try them out as soon as possible.
II the men and ideas are good, you
want the benefit in the least possible
time, if they are futile, you want to
know it as soon as possible.
The short session of Congress, inn
mediately following election, tradi-
tionally never does much but pass
appropriation bills. Even where the
same party is retained in power,
there are lot of members who are
not to come back. They feel little
enthusiasm for work. The session
is perfunctory. Yet there is a host
Of big problems Immediately de-
handing attention. Many meritor-
ious propositions fail because Con-
gress can not get around to them.
The present arrangement does not
perhaps incur any great loss. Yet
it is one of number of unbusiness-
like ways that tend to make the
government less efficient than priv
ate business. But you could never
make a political issue out of pro-
position to have the new Congress
meet within a month after it was
elected, as it ought to be. There
are no votes in such proposal.
It all shows that Issues have to
appeal to the popular imagination
in order to force themselves on the
politicians. The latter are looking
for a program that will make votes.
There is growing number of people
who appreciate direct business-like
methods. The man and the party
that can remedy defects like this will
make themselves popular with a lot
of people who appreciate good sys-
tematic work.

Robert F. Duer, Republican candl-
date for Congress in the First dis
trict, who was defeated on the face
of the returns by Congressman Price,
has decided to contest, and on Mon
day the machinery was set in motion
to carry the case to the next House
of Representatives
To prevent the destruction OF the
ballots which are to be used as evil
dence it will be necessary to ask a
court of competent jurisdiction TO
impound the same. The next Con-
gress will not convene until Decem-
Der, 1917, or year and a month
after the election, so the command
cannot come from the House OF
Representatives. 1t is presumed
that inasmuch as this is national
question the United States District
Court will be asked to prevent the
destruction of the ballots.

Are You Prepared for winter.

Old man winter is going to make
us a visit any time now The mere
fact that we have had several weeks
of delightful weather is no assurance
that it will last for as many weeks
more. Bad weather is like death, we
know not the day nor the hour when
it will come; and the sensible man
is always prepared for either OF
them no matter when they do come
The man who always works simply
according to the conditions of each
day as he finds them is never pre-
pared for a sudden change in condi-
lions. He is always behind with his
work and never accomplishes as
much as it is possible for one man to
accomplish easily. He is always over
worked and always behind; it is ex-
ceedingly hard for him to get ahead
of the game and to put much of any
system into his work; he is never
markedly successful.
The man who looks into the future,
is always thinking about the need
which may arise week or month
or season ahead, is the man who is
ready for most any condition who
may arise. He has his work well t.
hand and is leading it instead of let
ting it drive him; he is ahead of the
game. He has his business well
systematized and is able to accom-
plish much more than the man who
does not plan and work ahead. His
business is successful and he gets
large net returns from it.
1t is high time that full prepare
ton has been made for taking care
of the stock during the coming win
ter. 1t is high time that the farm
work is modified" and prepared"
for the winter. If yours has not
been, then get busy.-The Farming
Business.
