WHY STUDY THE BIBLE?
Interesting Paper Read Before the
County Sunday School Convention.

| think the greatest reason why we
should study the Bible is because it
reveals the way to salvation 1t
treats of grand subject and treats
H. in such way that brings peace
and satisfaction to the greatest as
we'll as the humblest minds. If we
study the Bible we find it meets the
needs of every human life under all
circumstances and fits perfectly into
every human experience.
The Bible is superior to all other
books. and there Is no other book that
is so widely read. 1t is the Oldest
book in the world, and holds a fore
most place in the literature of which
1t meets every requirement.
The language used in the Bible is
perfect. and from it Shakespeare, our
greatest English poet. and also 9TH
er well known authors, have drawn
much of their material.
Another reason why we should
study the Bible is because of its in
fiuence on people and nations. All
nations whose people have accepted
Christianity. which could not exist
without the Bible. are far in advance
u the heather countries who have
not accepted it.
If all the people had studied the
Bible thoroughly and had followed
its teachings there would be nc
world war" now which is causing
the loss OF so many human lives

GERMAN AMERICAN LOYALTY
By c. Kotzenabe.

My emotions tell me one thing at
this awful time, but my reason tells
me another. AS a German by birth,
it is horrible calamity that l have
to fight Germans. That is natural, Is |
it not? But as an American by pref |
erence, I can see no other course open.
For 25 years Germany has shown
dislike for the United States-the Sa-
moan affair. the Hongkong contre-
temps. the Manila Bay incident. the !
unguarded words of the Kaiser him
self, and lastly. the Haitian contro-
versy in 1914 9. And it |
has not been from mere commercial
or diplomatic friction. 1t is because
their ideals of government are abso-
lutely opposed. One or the other
must go down. 1t is for us to say
which it shall be.
Because of my birth and feelings
beyond my control have no particu-
lar love for the French and less for
the British. But by the strange iro
ny of fate l see those nations giving
their blood for principles which Il
hold dear. against the wrong princi-
pies of people l individually love. tt
is very unhappy paradox. but one
| cannot escape. do not want to see
allies triumph over the land of my
birth. But ! very much want to see
the triumph of the ideas they fight
| for.
1t sickens my soul to think of this
Nation going forth to help destroy
people many of whom are bound to
me by ties of blood and friendship.
But 1t must be So 1t Is like dread
ful surgical operation. The militar-
istic. undemocratic demon which now
rules Germany must be cast out: 1t
] Is for us to do it-now ! have tried
to tell myself that it is not our affair,
that we should have contented our
selves with measures of defense and
armed neutrality. But l know that
1T Is not SO. The mailed fist has been
shaken under our nose before. If
Prussianism triumphs in this war the
| fist will continue to shake. We shall
be in real peril and those ideas for
which so much of the worlds best
blood has been spilled through the
centuries will be in danger of extinc-
! tion. 1t seems to me common sense
that We begin our defense by immedi-
ate attack when the demon is occu-
! pied and when We can command as
sistance.
There is much talk of what people
! ike me VIII do, and rear OF the hy
| phan. No such thing exists. The
German American is as staunch as
the American of adoption of anv 9TH
er land and perhaps more so. Let us
| make war upon Germany, not fro,n
revenge, not to uphold hairsplittin.,
bubbles of international law. but let
us make war with our whole heart
and with all our strength, because
Germany 'worships one god and we
another and because the lion and the
lamb can not lie down together. One
or the the other must perish
Let US make war upon the Germa-
ny of the Junkerthum. the German
of frightfulness. the Germany OF ar
rogance and selfishness. and let is
swear not to make peace until the I'm
perial German Government Is the .oy-
ereign German people.

of land on the LoLo south of Weippe.
The land in question is said to be one

The Republican is pleased to note
that Mr.. Long is to remain a citizen

faith in the future of this section
In fact Charley. as he Is familiarly

in the world where the soil is more

Why Should U Help the Y. M. G. A?

What is the Y. NJ c. A. doing that
is worth while at time like this?
Well, to be plain and brief, the Y. NJ.
c. A. is looking after the boys who
are called to serve the nation at a
time of peril; the Y. Nj. c. A. is look
ing after the social and moral and
material welfare of our boys, and a
noble work it is doing.
The Government of the United
States has placed a tremendous work
on the " NJ. c. A., and all leaders,
from President Wilson down, have
endorsed it, The men in the trenche.;
are looking to it for their entertain
ment, their social life, such as is pos;
eible in time of war; our men are
looking to this organization for the
relief that comes from religious meet
ings, from music and games and rec
reation that helps to break the mon
,otony of existence forced on soldiers.
and from which they cannot escaps.
What the Red Cross is to the sol
der in time of sickness or injury, the
Y. M. C. A. is to the soldier or sailor
in his daily routine of service. The
Y. M. C. A. erects "huts" wherever
cur men are sent, and these "huts"
are the social centers OF the army.
Here the men are supplied, free, with
paper and envelopes to write letters,
and the "huts" afford comfortable
place for the men to write their let
ters; here the boys find books and pa
pers and magazines, and word of
cheer from the secretaries in charge.
Here is served hot chocolate. coffee,
and light refreshments, like sand
wiches, at cost. Here is made an eff
fort to look after the boys and save
them clean and decent; here is the
influence that reminds the boys Of
home and mother and sweetheart, and
keeps them writing home.
Our government recognizes the Y.
NJ c. A. as an essential part of its
forces, and wherever Uncle Sam is
training men there has he seen to the
establishment of Y. M. c. A. 'huts."

Investigate Fords Creek Bridge Pier.

F. W. Straw of the Security Bridge
Company and County Commissioners
Fred Choate inspected the Fords'
Creek bridge yesterday morning to
determine the extent, if any, of the
reported undermining of one of the
piers. So far as the Republican can
learn the high water of last spring
washed away portion of the gravel
at the foot of one of the piers, and
that hole appears to have been
started under one corner. Mr.. Choate
was called up over the phone after
his visit to the bridge and we under
stood him to say that no real damage
has yet resulted; that the concrete
was dumped into pits. and the pier
had a receding base; that the water
bad washed away part of the gravel
around one corner of the pier, and
damage would result unless further
washing at the base of the pier Is
prevented by filling in around the
base of the pier with rock. He said
there was plenty of excuse to justify
those who had looked at the bridge
and reported the pier was being un-
dermined. The undermining has
started. An expenditure of only a
few dollars now will stop further
damage.
The county commissioners have no
jurisdiction now, the highway conf
missioners having this responsibility.

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for the Brooks Rup
.. ture Appliance.

l. It is absolutely the only Appli-
ance of the kind on the market today,
and in it are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
ton.
8. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der it clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads. used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
). 1t is small, soft and pliable. and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
g. The soft, pliable bands holding
the appliance do not give one the un.
pleasant sensation of wearing har'
ness. s
7, There is nothing about 1t to get
foul, and when it becomes soiled 1t
can be washed without injuring it in
the least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the appliance to torture one by cut
! ting and bruising the flesh.
9. All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very
best that money can buy, making 1t
durable and safe Appliance to wear
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
lished by an experience of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my rrices are so reasonable, my terms
so fair, that there certainly should
be no hesitancy in sending the free
coupon today.

BRINGS INSTANT RE
LIEF, PERFECT
SAFETY AND
EVERLASTING CON-
FORT

The Brooks Rupture AppIi-
ance is beyond question the
most universally endorsed
appliance Of any kind in the
world for the retention and
cure Of a required condition
inamen, women and children.
9 It is the result Of more
than 80 years. experience
and the percentage Of actual
cures ehected by its use is a
little short Of miraculous.
The Brooks Appliance has
50 many imitators, that it is
never sold in drug stores, or
IN any other way than by
mail, direct from the maker.
This 10 further necessary be-
cause every Brooks AppIi-
ance 10 especially made and
fitted for the cas-. for which
il is intended.
Many hundreds OF Physi-
clans and Surgeons recon-.
mend the Brooks Appliance
and condemn trusses a. more
harmful than almost any
other method or retaining or
treating rupture. u.,
You may not think that a
rupture appliance can ever
be truly "comfortabIe"- but
that is because you have
never tried Brooks.
