prayed Away a "Twister"

There is little Kansas COM
munity that now has abundant
faith in the efficacy of prayer
and the inhabitants point to
their deliverance from a tornado
to prove their claims. Some ten
miles south of Coldwater, Kan,
there is a small community of
Presbyterians. The Rev. A. G.
Alexander is pastor of the church
and breaches there each Sunday.
Two weeks ago during the
evening services a terrific storm
broke just as the minister had
launched into his sermon. Hail
so heavy fell on the roof of the
schoolhouse where the services
were held that the voice of the
minister was drowned. The con-
gregation sang until the storm
ceased. The minister returned
to his sermon and had reached
about the middle of it, when a
new roar began.
"Cyclone!" yelled a man.
The congregation rushed to the
windows. and a twisting, funnel
shaped cloud, black and danger
Gus, was whipping along toward
the school.
Suddenly the big voice of the
minister doomed out. ''Let US
pray for deliverance" he said.
As one person the entire crowd
dropped to their knees, and, led
by the minister, all sobbed out
their petitions for safety.
The Adair County news., 1916-07-19
The tornado swerved sharply
to the south when within 100
feet of the schoolhouse.

Wilson Deserves Support,

George F. Johnson, of the En-
dicott, Johnson & Company,
leather and shoe manufacturers
at Endicott, N. Y, heretofore a
Republican, has announced he
favors the reelection of Pres
ident Wilson.
Il am in favor of the reelec-
ton of President Wilson because
he has handled the difficult prob
lens of government splendidly,"
said Mr.. Johnson. mo man
could have done better under ex-
listing circumstances. He has
served the nation at a time when
service meant much to him and
to the nation. He has been
shamefully attacked by politi-
clans, for political effect. He
has earned and is justly entitled
to the confidence and support of
the American people.
The present condition of
the country. the work in which
he has been engaged, the incom-
plete and, at the present time,
critical condition of the work,
the experience which he has had
and the ability he has shown, all
indicate that it is a matter of
common sense and good judg-
ment to see that he is retained to
finish the work now in process.

The Country with the
President.

The President has the right to
expect the undivided support of
the country in any war with
Mexico or any other foreign
country. The country has the
right to expect of the President
an unfinching and answering
course after war has once been
entered upon.
So far as the Herald is con-
cerned, it gives support to Pres
ident Wilson ungrudgingly and
without any criticism and in line
with its traditional policy. In
his desire to escape the wider
consequences Of general hostili-
ties, Mr.. Wilson has shown a
patience almost saintlike. He
has tried sorely many of his
friends. He has laid himself
open to attacks sometimes al
most vicious in their bitterness
His desire has been 20 go to eX-
IRENE lengths in avoiding a con-
fiict on the Western Hemisphere
and at the same time to bring
about permanent peace and
prosperity within Mexican ter
ritory itself without resorting to
intervention.-From the New
York Herald.

An Early Decision in the
War?

Every sign that one can see
points toward the coming of a
decision in this war before snow
flies. So far IL is draw, but if
the Germans wer- turned out of
France. If the Russians came
back through Gaicia, taen there
would be no draw, for Germany
has lost the use of the sea and
all her colonies and seaborne
commerce: Such defeat, limited
though it would be, would GER
tainly affect the Turk and the
Bulgar and if the BuIgar should
change sides, if the Allied Army
at Salonica should reach the
Danube, the last possible profit
to Germany in the war, the ex-
pansion to the East, would be
disposed of.
On the other hand, if Germany
can throw back the Slav and the
Briton, if she can dispose of the
British offensive and restore
Austrian fortunes in Galicia,
there may be talk of peace, with
the war unwon this autumn.
Europe will hardly go through
another summer of war unless
one side or the other sees the
promise of the realization of the
victory for which it has sacri-
feed so much. The Allies will
not move hastily. nor in advance
of the hour that they have fixed.

Kitchener'S Work for the
Empire.

Kitchener will be remembered
for four great constructive works
of organization, carried out in
Egypt, South Africa, India, and
England. In each case his work
was creative and revolutionary
in conception, and carried out
with the utmost precision in ev-
cry least detail. No man touch
ed the world-extended British
Empire at more points, or touch
ed it with such decisive, fateful
effect. 1t may be said, indeed,
that the integrity of the Empire,
in the twentieth century, is the
work of Kitchener. Four dan
gers arose, in regions separated
by vast continental spaces; in
each region, Kitchener met the
danger, piercingly diagnosed the
cause, patiently and courage,
ously overcame it. Every honor
within the power of his country
men to give him was offered to
Kitchener; yet all honors fall
short of his immense attainment.
