Auntie San, ArriUeG

A new idea was launched by the
New Mexico division in the creation
of running mate for Uncle Sam"
The women of New Mexico stated
that while Uncle Sam is in the
trenches he must have mate in the
kitchen, and straightway "Auntie
Sam" came into existence. Since the
work OF New Mexico is so we'll or
ganized and systematized by the
women, it is apparent that the work
of Auntie Sam is deserving of the
highest praise.

NEW PASTOR PRAISES
COUNTY SENATORS
In First Sermon as Pastor of
Christian ChurCh-SpeakS
on Prohibition.

mo man fought a better fight
on the prohibition question in IN
dianapolis than did Sen. c. r. sum
mers from st. Joseph county. and il
is my impression that among the
men who were foremost in winning
this mighty conflict no man did
more for the cause OF prohibition
than did Sen. Summers. Too much
cannot be said OF this loyal senator
who fought for the prohibition
cause" So said Rev. G. W. Titus.
the newly appointed pastor Of the
First Christian church, in his first
sermon to his new congregation
Sunday morning. notwithstanding
the stormy nature Of the weather.
the church was completely filled.
In this connection the speaker also
paid tribute 10 Sen. Hagerty, whom
he said deserved a great deal Of
credit for taking the stand he did
on this question and voting to win
Indiana from the throes of the
liquor traffic.
The new minister. who was for
merly with the Anti Saloon league
of indianapolis as field secretary,
had for his theme the study of the
life Of Nicodemus and his visit 10
Jesus. He reviewed the struggle
between the liquor and temperance
forces in the recent battle. mention
ing the names also Of Rep. Richard
Nesey OF Fort Wayne. who during
the battle made the statement that
although ne knew he was signing
his political death, he was glad TO
take his stand on the side of right,
and Rep. Montgomery Of Grant
county, who made the statement
that mans first duty was TO his God.
The great battle against the liquor
forces was won by men who were
unafraid and who openly stood up
for the right So the great need Of
the world is not for men of the type
Of NicOdemus. who was afraid 10
come out in the open. but men who
are fearless and courageous in the
battle for righteousness.
You can't lead anybody any
higher in life than where you
IT.
''NicOdemus brought others TO
Christ, but they became the same
kind OF disciples. If one is TO be the
largest factor in the Kingdom of
God in the greatest influence Of
righteousness, he must be a man of
righteousness. Nicodemus brough
his flowers TO Christ and anointed
His body at his burial. Too many
OF us wait until death claims our
loved ones before We bestow our
praise and our gratitude. 1t is wise
and far better 10 speak the kindly
word. to do the kindly act or pass
few bouquets when they can be
appreciated rather than to wait and
place them on the grave. The great
throbbing heart of the world is
waiting for the touch of sympathy.

His followers"
