Asking Us To Help Them.

Asking Us To Help Them.
Today the world is full of needy
and they are asking help. The lame
man by the wayside is only typical
of the many thousands who need
and are asking the church to aid
them. Their need may not be of a
physical nature but of spiritual
kind.
Peter says, "Such as 1 have, give
thee" Then, "he took him by the
right hand and lifted him" Let it
be noticed here that Peter not only
preached the Christ--a gospel in
His name, but he gave the man
power to earn his own living While
we preach on our journey upwards
we should always endeavor to in
spire others. "In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, walk"
The cure of the soul, inspiring it
with love, implanting a desire to
follow Jesus-giving a vision of a
better life, is the greatest help that
can be given.
1t is not always best to give a
man a basket of fruit. 1t is by far
better to convert him into fruit
tree-give him vision of life and
an incentive to grow and be some
body. Peter gave this man not only
vision OF real life but also the
ability (ineentive) to do for himself
We should not like to be thought
selfish in our pleasures and Joys in
that we should not desire others tc
join our company.
So then let US take him by the
hand and lift him." Let us strive tc
make the world see our good works
and be constrained to glorify oul
Heavenly Father.

Jefferson Barracks. He is non-com-
initial as to the charges against the
prisoners, but says IL all the facts
were known he might be able to re-
late an interesting story-if he

guessing. Shields says he is up in

flight of $50 miles.

FARM AND LIVE STOCK
MATTERS OUT AT SKINNER
Two Farms Change Hands--Visit-
Ors AT The State Fair-Other
Comment.

Skinner, Mo-, August 26.-The
nice little rains of recent days are
fine, IL they did come late; they
make the corn heavier.
The fine prospect for corn of a
month ago was blighted by the
'drouth half or perhaps two-thirds.
At that, however, perhaps we'll have
enough to pull thru till another
crop is made.
Many of our farmers are plowing
for wheat. Perhaps half of them
are thru. Oh, yes, a ten per cent
increase in acreage of wheat in our
vicinity; yes, twenty-five per cent
increase is nearer it.
The grasshoppers have done a
great deal of damage to the corn,
grass and most ali vegetation. The
question now before the farmers Is,
for a concerted move to exterminate
the little pests.
The Patton estate is erecting a
new barn, 4Ox50x1S feet, on their
farm, the C. L. Bruce place here.
Also they are building twin corn
pens, 60x10x1O, with a foot drive
way between, which adds very
much to the appearance of their al
ready nice place.
Leroy L. Bruce is erecting a new

week the sermon was by A. E. I'm
derwood. His subject was LAS
cending the Hill of God Together.
His text was from Acts S:1-12, and
the comments were as follows:
Following their custom as well
as their desire, Peter and John are
seen in this lesson going up the
Temple Hill together. They are to
pass thru the outer gate into Sol
omon's pillared portico and the
court of the Gentiles. Having cross
ed these they advance towards the
steps which lead thru the beautiful
gate up to the place where prayer is
wont to be held.
1t is interesting to notice the/con-
trast between these two men. Here
was the chiefest among the Apos-
ties and by his side the one most
advanced in the knowledge of Jesus.
The eldest and youngest, probably,
OF the noble twelve, They were old
friends at Bethsaida. and partners

both had followed Jesus from the

Mount of TRANSPORTATION and with

DRY WINS BY TWO VOTES
IN STATE SENATE RACE.

The placing of Missouri in the
: dry column and the ratification
OF the national prohibition amend
ment may depend upon two votes
cast for Ross E. Feaster for the
Democratic nomination for State
Senator in the 18th district. Official
returns gave Feaster 3,177 votes,
and the incumbent, John Balwin,
3,175. Henry, Bates, st. Clair and
Cedar counties compose the district.
The nomination of Feaster-his
election is practically assured by the
preponderance of Democratic votes
in the district-gives the dry forces
the final vote necessary to control
the Democratic caucus, thereby the
power of organizing the Senate and
abrogating the two-thirds rule here
unto used by the "wets" to throttle
the "drys" and dry legislation.
Pledges in the hands of the dry
forces, from both Republican and
Democratic nominees, indicate that
both the Senate and the House are
safely dry, and that the abrogation
of the two-thirds rule in the Senate
will permit the drys to ratify easily
the national amendment and to put
over such legislation as they may
choose, no matter what the out
come of the general elction may be.
This, however. is not expected to
materially affect the party lines as
now constituted in the Senate.
The election of Feaster. 1t is said.
means that John F. Morton of the
Sth district, will not be reelected
president pro. tenn iof the Senate.
and that the vets will thus lose con-
troll.

E. H. BIaise Killed
At The Battle Front
Audrain's Third Soldier Boy Slain
In France-Eis Home Church
Gives Memorial Services--An I'M
posing Occasion.

Word came last week to the par
ents of Edward Henry Blaise, north
east of Mexico, of his death in
France, killed on the battle front.
He was good boy, fine speci-
men of manhood, a member of Beth
>el Presbyterian Church, east of Mo-
limo. A memorial service was held
at the church Thursday morning
a crowd of friends that packed the
house. Rev. H. B. Barks, pastor of
the church, who took young Blaise
into the church membership several
years ago, had charge. He was as
sisted by County Evangelist of the
Baptist Church, Rev. Painter, and
by C. A. Heydon, pastor of Littleby
Baptist Church, and by others.
There was no sermon; only short
talks regarding the life and history
of the departed soldier. 1t was a
solemn and impressive occasion.
All these things bring the war
closer and closer to all of us. The
sympathy of the whole county goes
out to the parents in their grief.
May the Most High guide and sup
port them.

fellowship.
By this fellowship along the up
ward journey of life courage, hope,
love, and goodness are infused. In
the fellowship of joyful association,
which should exist among Chris
tians, truth may be impaired more
freely and vision of the Christian
ideal emphasized more easily.
Inspiration and enthusiasm may
be fostered in all, and the world may
behold a beautiful picture of Chris
tianity as we journey along.
Truly under such conditions we
may say to the world, as Peter said
to the lame man, Look on u.s."

bulletins, although sent to the Red

which follows:
Fire started at o'clock in the
building of NJ. Hermann & Co, whole

Mason and Wisconsin streets.
within a few minutes the flames
were shooting hundreds of feet into
the air. Fire tugs and the entire fire
