IS OLDEST CHRISTIAN NATION
Abyssinis's Claim to the Title Found
ed on Technicality Entitled
to Credence.

Abyssinia claims to be the oldest
Christian nation.
The claim seems founded on tech,
nicaiity entitled to credence, but
which has not accomplished much fol
Christianity in the last nineteen hun.
dred years.
Rulers of Abyssinia are proud of de
scent from the queen of Sheba and
from Solomon as the result of the for
mer's visit to Jerusalem. AS Solomon
had many wives and an immense
harem he may have married the
queen Of Sheba, but there is no testi-
mony to the fact other than the tradi
ton in Abyssinia, which was the a.
cient Sheba, with which the Jews had
large commerce. The country was
Christianized through monks from
Egypt, and it is said that one of the
kings In the second century declared
Christianity the official religion, thus
antedating all other nations. The mat.
ter Is really Of only academic import
ance.
We are apt to think Of the Abyssin-
ians as heather negroes stepped in the
deepest barbarism. On the contrary,
they are rather virile people, as all
who have attacked them know. They
have civilization that is suited to
their environment, and while 1t may
not be up to the standard of splendor
which the queen Of Sheba is supposed
to have maintained, 1t is comfortable
enough for those who live there. In
recent years many explorers have
found much to surprise them, and 1t is
within the memory of this generation
that Italy made an unsuccessful at,
tempt to seize the country.

A RESOLUTION.

Whereas, the United States is
known as a Christian nation; and,
Whereas, our government is found
ed upon the principles of Christian
ity; and,
Whereas, we recognize, even in
our patriotic songs, a God who is the
Author of Liberty" and,
Whereas, we are in state Of war
and every citizen is called upon to
be true to his country; therefore,
be it
Resolved, by the people of Par
ker, that we show our patriotism by
attending church to "Praise the
power that hath made and preserved
us a nation" thus proving the truth
fulness of our motto: "In God is Our
Trust"
All in favor of adopting the above
resolution, let it be known by your
presence at the church at the regular
hours for worship.

LIBERTY LOAN
WHAT It MEANS
Continued from Page /.

and subscribers for small amounts
are to be supplied before the subscri-
bers for large amounts are granted
their full subscription.
Is it patriotic purchase these
bonds?
Yes; every American who sub
scribes to the justice of the course of
the United States in entering and
conducting the war we are engaged
in should subscribe to the Liberty
Loan bond issue to the extent of his
or her financial ability
Every American who subscribes to
the belief that an America should
stand by his or her country should
subscribe to the Liberty Loan bond
issue.
Every American who loves Amer
lea and is jealous of Americas honor
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
bond issue. The real success of the
loan is to be more determined by the
number of American participants in
it than by the amount subscribed
The spirit of the nation is going to
be judged abroad, especially by our
enemies, more by the number of it's
American men and women who sup
port this bond issue than by the mere
amount of money subscribed.
Why Liberty Loan?"
The $5,0OO,0 100000 bond issue of
this year is named"The Liberty Loan
of 1917" because it is to be loan
from free people to be used in free
ing the world,
1t is the loan of a Iiberty-loving
people to be devoted to the estab-
lishment of liberty in Europe and
on the high seas.
1t is the loan of the great democ-
racy of the new world to redress the
wrongs and support the cause of the
democracy of the old.

night. and delighted large audi
ence with number Of classy and

lOgues. The four members OF the
company are on the Hippodrome cir
cult, and having an off week they
were making the trip from Phoenix
to Los Angeles in their car, playing
a few of the larger towns on their
way to the coast.
Locomotives in all the railroad
yards of the United States ushered
in Registration Day by blowing the
whistles-except IN the Parker yards
of the Santa Fe railroad. The Red
Cross informs this paper that three
requests had been made for the blow
ing of the locomotive whistles in Par
ker, but it was quite noticeable
fact that the whistles didn't blow.
Before Z o'clock Tuesday morning
there were four locomotives in the
yards, at least three of them having
steam up.
The rowdyism Of young boys at
public meetings or places of amuse-
ment should be kept in check, not
only for the boys own good, but also
for the comfort of those who attend
those public places. The patrons of
the local moving picture theater
have long complained of the annoy
ance they suffer from the noisy be-
havior of a number of young lads
of Parker-and when we say "noisy
behavior" we are using the mildest
terms we know of in the English
language to express the misconduct
of these boys in public. A striking
contrast of the behavior of these
young lads compared with the chill
dren from the Indian school was
quite noticeable at last Tues
day nights performance Hereafter
we will never believe in the govern
ment's policy Of civilizing the Indian
he's already civilized-but the
average Parker lad needs to be
taught good manners, at least good
manners when he is allowed to at
tend public places where people go
for relaxation and to be amused, and
not to be annoyed by a bunch of
noisy hoodlums.
