Religious Tenets OF The Presidents
CONTINUED from page IL


in which he said: in entering up
on this great office | most humbly
invoke the God of my fathers for
wisdom and frmness to execute
these high and responsible duties"
Abraham Lincoln was an attend
ant at one of the Presbyterian
churches, but not a communicate.
His faith he has outlined thus:
The Almighty has his own pur-
poses. Woe unto the world be-
cause of offenses! For it must
needs be that offenses come; but
woe to that man by whom the Of
fense cometh.
Andrew johnson. But little has
been said concerning his religious
beliefs. When he took the oath of
office as president he said: My
life as a public servant has been a
laborious one; duties have been
mine, consequences h ave been
Gods"
Ulysses S. Grant was a Method
ist. He closed his first inaugural
with the following: In conclusion,
| ask patient forbearance one to-
ward another throughout the land,
and a determined effort on the part
of every citizen to do his share to-
ward cementing happy union,
and | ask the prayers of the nation
to Almighty God in behalf of this
consummation."
Rutherford B. Hays was a Meth
odist. He was a man who was re-
garded as having strong religious
opinions and who devoted much OF
his time to charitable works.
James A Garfield was a member
of the Disciples church. tie was
designated in the religious body of
which he was a member as a lay
preacher,
Chester A. Arthur was an Episco-
palian. During the period Of his
presidency he worshiped at St.
Johns church in Washington. He
was a communicate, though but lit
tie is said of his religious sentiments
by those who have spoken of him
in public print.
Grover Cleveland was Presby-
terian. He belonged to an old Pres
lbyterian family, though himself not
a communicant in the church. In
his inaugural address, March A,
1885, he closed with this beautiful
allusion to trust in Almighty God;
"And let US not trust to human eE-
fort alone, but humbly acknowledge
the power and goodness of Almighty
God, who presides over the destinies
of nations, and who has at all times
been revealed in our country's his
tory; let US invoke His aid and His
blessings upon our labors."
Benjamin Harrison was Presby-
terian in all his private life as we'll
as during the years Of his presi-
dency. He was an active member
of that church His alluSion to the
Almighty is, perhaps, less striking
in bis inaugural than some OF his
predecessors, but it is sufficient to
show the trend Of his thought,
William Mckinley was an active
member of the Methodist church,
His expressions Of faith and trust
In God are well known,
Theodore Roosevelt Is an active
member of the Dutch Reformed
church, which he attended in Wash
inston while president,

With no assurance that Arkansas

for any great length of time and be-
cause velvet beans are selling at a
comparatively low price, the farmers
of the state can well afford to use

CHARLES G. HALL
SPEAKS AT E. G. F

Charles G. Hall will speak this eve
ming on the subject Of a DRY Minne-

throughout the United States as a
speaker. During the last two years
Mr.. Hall has spoken in % states and
makes the prophecy that in 80
months from today there will not be
a saloon, brewery or distillcry in OPP
Grafton in the United States.
Mr.. Hall was instrumental in max,
ing the state of Arizona dry and be-
lieves that he will be more than sue
cessful in Minnesota and has very
high hopes for the campaign which
they are starting now. He says that
every village and city in Minnesota
will be canvassed by speakers and
that crews will anvas school houses
and private homes for the whole next
year. William J. Bryan has offered
to give ten lectures in Minnesota free
of charge which is an offer that mer-
its attention. The Methodist Episco-
pal church is sending out ten laymen
who are to be led by Judge Pollock

After Spending Some Time
in the Vicinity of Produc-
ton and Working in Pro-
duction Tells of Magni6-
cence of Intolerance.

The great picture, Intolerance
which will be shown at the Metropoli-
tan opera house starting Monday is
in the opinion of c. E. Good. a mem
Der Of the Herald's local staff. the
greatest picture that ever has been
produced. Mr.. Good too a minor
J part in the picture and therefore has
had ample opportunity to judge it
from both the spectators and pro-
ducer's point Of view.
The studio sets which were erected
to furnish a background of this pic
half million of dollars. History was
searched for centuries back to gain
true information regarding the dress
and customs of the Babylonian ages
and several well known historians
were used and discarded for the true
information to be gained from
~hieroglyphics on tombs and statues.
In the picture, the Herald man
took the part of a chariot driver
caused him a great deal of trouble
and came to the grand climax Of a
spectacular runaway just after the
chariot has passed beyond the range
of the mera 1t may be interesting
to mention that ove rs cameras were
used to film this production and to
state that this is the largest number
Of cameras ever used in one produc-
ton but it was all a part of Griffith's
great system of retakes' as on
some of the more important scenes as
high as seven were used on one scene
to insure that no detail of the nag
ni1cence Of the scene should be lost
to the public.
It took over six months to set up
the big backgrounds after the plans
and specifications had been given to
the artists and carpenters of whom
there was a force Of oVer 200.
