MISSOURI FARM BUREAUS
AMONG FIRST TO FEDERATE

The Executive Committee of the
Missouri Farm Bureau Association
held it's first meeting September 30
and October /, at the College of Ag-
riculture. Arrangements were made
for the employment of secretary
who will devote his entire time to the
farm bureau interests.
The Missouri Farm Bureau Asso-
citation first came into existence four
years ago under the name of Missou-
ri Association of Farm Bureau Boards.
At the recent meeting at Warrens-
burg, September IL and 10, the or
ganization adopted a new constitu-
ton and it's present name. The paid
up membership in the State at present
is 10000. This number is being rap
idly increased.
The Council of National Defense,
representing the Federal Government
in it's war activities, has recognized
the farm bureaus as being in charge
of the agricultural program of the ma
ton. The recently reorganiZed Mis-
souri, Farm Bureau Association, there
fore, is expected to play an important
part in the development of Missouri
agricultural interests at present for
purposes of meeting war needs, and
later for the purpose of maintaining
permanent and efficient system of
agriculture in the State.
Missouri is one of the first States
in the Union to federate it's county
farm bureaus into a State Associa-
ton. Other States are perfecting
similar types of organizations, max
ing it possible within the next few
years to have national organization
which will represent agriculture in
the councils of the nation.

 The Next Revolution
 Well, it will come. That's the next revolution you want to start when you women get the ballot Abolish these class schools like Eton and Harrow and put the money into better board schools. All the kids in my town, and | in my state. and in my whole section | of the country go to the common schools. Children should start life as | equals. There is no snobbery so cruel as the snobbery that marks off child hood into classes, When you women vote here, the first thing to do is to smash that nonsense. But in the mean | time keep the kids in school"

WHAT HE WAR |S DOING TOREL|G|ON
 |S SERMON TOPIC

Of unusual interest arc the services at the First Congregational church since the pastor, Dr. oorhecS, has re- turned and the work planned during the summer has been resumed. At the morning service Sunday Dr. Voorhees, spoke on the topic, The Religion of the New World Order" He said in part:
 The men at the front are finding religious satisfaction in throwing of expression of creed and form and in realizing the vital realities that seek expression in every true man. Chap lains are getting visions of the abid- ing verities and will return to revital- izc the church with . more timely message
 His text was taken from Hebrews 12:27, 2S. and he showed that it is always a part of Christ's work in the progress of Christianity to remove the things that can he shaken; that the things that cannot be shaken may be more fully possessed.
 Tn these days of theological up- heavaL' said Dr Noorhes. "t is an inspiration 10 sec this spiritual process at work. As in Christs day in the flesh. so ever the conservative con tenders for tho old views stand in the way of the new order but only rctard the progress which is to reconstruct civilization"
 The things that can be shaken and that cannot he shaken were illustrated by three vital clements in the religious life of those who arc sacrificing all for civilization today First. concerning the Bible. Since the revcrent work ol

modern scholarship began its study ot the Bible, the views of informed per sons concerning the Bible have unde gone q radical change. The old idea of a verbally inspired book with every word equally the Word of God from cover 10 cover is gone, and men now know where the literature of this unique library came from and what it stands for.
 But while these views about the Bible have been removed, the truth that is its inner life abides and shines more clearly. God remains and speaks to ] us more clearly through these scrip 1 lures today than ever. All students seeking God use these writings with | incomparable blessings and helps. | Second concerning Christ. Views about him have been changed. About | the Trinity. about His miraculous birth, about the atonement, about His deity. But He abides as a living reality with growing power in the world to save and transform the world.
 Third, the crude and materialistid views of heaven and hell are supplant- ed by more Christian conception. More clearly than ever we recognize the fundamental difference between righ' and wrong and the inevitable conse- quences of each the vital relation O. the present to the future and the as surance of our immortality in Jesu: Christ as the children of God.
 These are the outstanding convic
 tons that make life at the front ; joyous experience" said Dr. Noorhee in conclusion. the belief in God, faitl in living Christ as leader and an i'm
 mortal glory for those who die in thu path of duty and privilege as did H. die.

there are three of the present boilers
already out of commission and that three
are in such a condition that they should

two. The member from the Fifth ward
