Dr. Stuart turned lovingly and afrec- tionately to his wife, and looking at her with grateful eyes. he said:
 She's the most complete preacher' q wife in the whole world-Methodis,l preachers wife"
 Equally sweet and tender, Mrs stuart' joined in the conversation now and then reminding pr. Stuart of something. or TO calling some little incident of their life; and love.
 She's proud of him, as she has a right. to be, and of his great work, and her in spiration is plainly manifest in the many great deeds that he has accomplished
 It was she who wrote to him when he was a mere mountain boy. for her father Dr. Sullins, when he was asking how he could work his way through college.e years afterward the letter signed "Z7Ine. Sullins" was found among some old corl, respondence after she and Dr. Stuart had been married ever so long. She little knew at the time of writing that the bow to whom she was writing the letter wass to be her husband in later years
 Who can say, after that. that there is, no romance in Methodist preacher s life? M
 pr. and Mrs. Stuart's home life apSI their family ties have carried out the1 theory that the distinguished ministeri breaches, and that is, that the home is the moral basis of all civilization.
 There are three great institutions tn1 the world today" Dr. Stuart said as he held out his hand to say good by'' ir1 his cordial kindly manner, the home the church and the Sabbath; and what4l ever breaks up any one of these breaks up the foundation of a nation. The hope, Of the home is religion; the hope of re. ligion is the church, and the home of the| church is the Sab bath.'
 Dr. Stuart, by the rare magic of hi.,, eloquence, has graced the lecture plat form; he has preached the word of God from the great tabernacles of the word'l as an evangelist, holding the mutitudes1 spellbound; outside the tents they havS| sold the little volumes which tell the e| story of his life; he has taught in lhtl great colleges; he has been offered sunni of money so stupendous that few would have refused such fattering considera tions to contribute his writings to th(l great magazines and newspapers of thu world. But with all these to choose fron'| he has preferred the simple, humble life of a Methodist preacher, and as sucY| the whole of Methodism proclaims hiaI wondrous works and Alabama welcome!J him within her gates an honored work CT in the great vineyard. s|

First Radical Government
 in Argentina Takes Office

Buenos Aires November 1.-(Corre- Epondence of the Associated Press)-The first radical government in the history of the Argentine, which took office on the 12th of October, has begun it's six years term under favorable auspices so far as public opinion is concerned, but an other respects under rather depressive conditions. The prolonged drouth, re- lieved only by light showers in parts, has caused serious apprehension regard ing crops. and the finances of the country are by no means encouraging.
 The new government, furthermore, will be compelled to conclude or quash much Ambitious legislation which was initiated by the recent administration. Among the schemes left pending are a sound money bill, an intermediate school ed ucation bill and a pension measure for railroad and civil service employees. All of these measures are highly conten- tious and the new government may'have difficulty in disposing of them to the sat isfaction of the public.
 During the change of government just effected the cordial relations existing be- tween Argentina and her neighbors were demonstrated by special embassies from

suggested, "and what is the cause Of his widespread sway with people?"
 Mainly 1t is due to the loss of the home,'' Dr. Stuart said Young girls have gone out from the home into marts of trade, and into the whirlpools of pub lie life; they have lost the sensible touch of the only safe guardian hand; the hand of the mother and the father. No coun- try ever rises higher than it's home life, and no country every sinks lower than its home life, and when the home is lost eff it ever is unutterably losD the best moral basis has been surrendered. The home is being given up and people are living in flats and boarding houses; men are seeking their clubs (women, too for that matter); the home table is being supplanted by the restaurants, the cafes and the club houses; the children at e scattering like cartridges, and the highest moral restrictions are being lost. Girls are driving on to ruin, and boys to de-. struction. No 16-year-old girl can take care of herself, and that's the reason God gave her a mother"
 Docs the loss of the home touch on the subject of suffrage and womans rights?" asked.
 'As to womans rights" Dr. Stuart an- swered quickly, T am in favor of woman exercising every right on the face of the earth possible to a human being the exercise of which will not lose for her the best right God ever gave to a hu- man being-that of being a woman. l should not like to see woman embark in anything that would lessen her grip on the home, which I think is the citadel of American civilization. When woman quits the home for anything, she leaves the hub of the wheel for the rim; she gets little more motion, but she loses power.'

 "When a fellar goes to church."

Gee! secondly and third l1- t0 xuh body gets an idea of time when they are preaching time doubles on them'
 "Tell me, Dr. Stuart" I asked, did you plan your life to be a preacher, or was it an accident; did you SOW your wild oats like many others?'

I met him and liked him and we became great friends; he painted a little picture for me; it was a beautiful scene, young man and woman standing at the gate of a lovely country place and there were two paths leading from it, one bright, shiny, glowing path, the other a dark, dismal, gloomy path and the inscription on the picture was Dean Affords words:

the surrounding states. Numerous speeches indicated a firm resolve to main tain and strengthen the bonds of friend- ship.
 Relations with Uruguay have assumed a particularly favorable position. because the long standing controversy With the Argentine in regard to the island of the Upper Uruguay river has been disposed of. A treaty between the two countries has just been signed and ratified Juris- diction has been decided by the position Of the islands with regard to the center of the navigabie channel. This natural settlement of an old question has given general satisfaction in South America. the adoption of the modern conception in regard to river frontiers having es- tablished a precedent by which it is be-; lieved identical questions may be set tied.
 The reports of ravages wrought by locusts in arable and grazing districts continue to be serious. As usual in De- riods of drouth the invading insects are more voracious and penetrate farther in search of food.

Though the spring has set in rather cold and variable the locusts have al- ready spread over the northern provinces and found their way to the province of Buenos Aires in great numbers During the last 20 years many systems for stamn- ing out this discouraging plague have been tried, but this new invasion dem onstrates fully the small value of any scheme yet devised. \

years with the Rev. Sam Jones'" I ob- honest opinion of revivals are they bene- ficial-are their results lasting?"
 My association with Sam Jones was one of great joy and happiness to me" said pr. Stuart "Our lives and methods were widely different, however; Sam Jones sowed his wild oats and was con verted after he grew to manhood; I was converted when I was a boy; Sam Jones' father led him to Christ; I led my father to Christ; Sam Jones drank; my father also drank: this was probably the one point of similarity in our careers. Being an evangelist was far from my thoughts always. However, one evening at great tabernacle meeting in Jackson, Miss, Sam Jones suffered a serious trouble with his voice; was present in the vast congregation; he asked four diff ferent ministers to come to the platform and conduct the meeting for him; among them the late Bishop Galloway; none did it; he finally called on me; I re- sponded and after the meeting was over, Sam Jones said to me: You are the very man I've been looking for; I want you to join me; you are the only man I know who can hold my audiences as can. That was the turning point. If I were to say I did not believe in revivals or times of refreshing after my experi- ence could not believe in the Bible. believe there are special seasons for all things, and the better the season the better the product I believe in creating times unusual, and specific conditions for the salvation of men; some of these high pressure conditions that pull men into the kingdom may pull in a few who will not remain, but a certain per cent always will remain and the per centage saved is always worth the effort

He paused for a moment and it seemed to me that could almost read the si- lent question in his deep, earnest gray eyes, which he asked me, although he uttered never word and which after wards I felt sure was:
 Can't you see that the hand of God was on the helm?'
 Veering around to a query that had been pounding in my brain ever since I had known I was to have the pleasure of talk with Dr. Stuart, I said:
 Tell me what the war has done to re. ligion?"
 What do you mean?" he answered in- terrogatiyely.
 Has it affected the worlds faith?" explained. There's more than one fist they say, that has been knuckles since the war started?' 44
 That's taproot question: he said: 'It pulls up the whole tree. It's too stupendous to answer casually. I'll say this, however. The nations of this world had come to feel that we were too civilized to go to war; Christianity be- lieved that we had come to the place were to the front; that such uncivilized modern weapons of warfare could never be used to slaughter human begins; it is beyond all lines of human thinking. I don't believe the masses wanted war and I don't believe the war is any indication of the thought or feeling of the masses; as a matter of fact, few of them know what they are fighting about, except to lick the other fellar. Truth is, few national leaders plunged the world into this war and now they see no honorable exit, and so they keep on fighting. l couldn't be Christian and maintain my idea of Christianity without being for

 peace. I defy any man to find sentence in the life of Jesus or an act from His personal life, or a sentence from the lips of any of His immediate followers, or an act from their lives that would justify war. There is only one place in the life of Jesus that could be cited, and that was when He told them to take sword, but when the sword was used in the hands of Peter, He commanded him to put it down, and repaired the damage he had done with His own hands AS an indication that His followers under stood His meaning there cannot be found one of them who ever resisted; they all died martyrs. In aggressive warfare there are two alternatives, murder and martyr; Christ and His followers took martyrdom."
