A SOLDIER BOYS MESSAGE

want to have few words with the Christipn people of Arkansas thru the Baptist Advance. IfJany other editor sees this and cares to publish it would be glad that he would do SO.
 l am soldier boy apd a preacher.
 have been in the armH eight months,
 and l believe that know something of
 the religious and moral condition of the
 army, and l write wfSh hope that this
 message may be the means in Gods
 hands of arousing the Christian people
 to the sense of their duty toward God.
 First, 1 want to say that I believe
 that God has let this war come upon us because of our neglect of him. As
 long as the children of Israel served the Lord that long they prospered and had peace; whenever they forsook Him and turned to idols he always let their enemies triumph over them The Lord IS the same God today that he was then. Those nations and those people who serve Him shall prosper; but those who do not shall be wasted WeLm make our boast of being Christian nation and Christian people; but we have forsaken God. The old family altar has decayed. The churches are only half full. Many of those who profess to know God never attend the church services or prayer meeting. Religious convictions and spiritual power are almost things f the past. The masses are going on in vanity. sin and shame. The theatres, dance halls, card parties and other places of worldly pleasures are filled with protesting Christians as well as the world. Yet we call ourselves Christian people. We boast of our and our good deeds. Itis my firm conviction that the American people will have to come down from the pedestal of self righteousness and confess their sins and humble themselves in the sight of God before

Continued from last week. ]

Tuesday morning we took our de- par'uie for Pittsburgh where two very, very pleasant; days were spent with my nephew, Hershell Fetherlng, tlle son of my eldest brother. His wife, we found to be lady of culture and refinement, and their little son won place in my heart
 We made night trip to Chicago where, on Friday morning, the 14th, we were Imet by my oldest grandaugh- ter and taken to her apartments on Madison street and another special arrangement was made for our enter tainment. Afriend, Mrs. Maloy. had dinner for us and Saturday we male a trip to Chicago Heights to see another nephew, Bert Fetherling, one of the sons of my youngest brother. Our Sunday dinner was down town at a fashionable cabaret and were enter tained with music Some of my rela- tives tried to persuade me to extend my trip to Iowa as I have brother in-law and several nephews and nieces living there. I would have much liked to have seen them. but heard on the morning of the 11th that they had a frost there, then decided to turn my face homeward and get to warmer climate. was in g states, visited 63 homes of relatives and friends, found them all prosperous and happy. two National Homes where the brave Boys in Blue are well provided with the necessaries of life. in IF cemeteries IA of which had relatives of mine laid there to await the resurrection. Many that 1 associated with over 50 years ago have joined the silent majority who sleep in the different cemeteries.
 The 17th was the limitation of my ticket. decided not to have it extend ed.
 l bade all adieu in Chicago with heart felt thanks for their kindness in making it so pleasant for me. I had a seat in the parlor car to St. Louis and enjoyed the whole days ride.
 My daughter, having business in Kansas City, arranged everything comfortable for me. Ihad night of it on the Frisco. Had good nights rest, got to Seligman for breakfast. Taking' the first train for Green For est l arrived at 12.3O p. m., the 18th.
 Everthing looked good to me. was soon in an auto and driven to my home. Immediately l went across the street to Mrs. Skinkle's, who had so carefully cared for my parrot while I was gone. As soon as he saw me he began to hollow and scream. The neighb ors called to know what was the matter with the parrot? They were told that had just gotten home and he was re- joicing. Sucb talking I never heard him do
 l want to tell my readers my trip was success from start to finish. ] cannot express my gratitude to all I met in making it so pleasant for me.
 Finding everything all right and well cared for in my home, meeting my many friends with smiling faces, and the clasp of those hands makes me feel like life is yet worth living and that there is no place like home be 1t ever so humble.
 Many thanks to my friends for their kind deeds and kind acts. remain,

In this weeks's issue appears the announcement of MT. John w. Nance, our fellow townsman, as candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney of this, the 4th Judicial Circuit, sub- ject to the action of the Democrats at the primary election to be held on the 18th day of next May.
 It is with considerable pleasure and qualification that we announce MT. Nance as candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. We feel that just such man as he is needed in that very inn portant office He is native of Benton county, having been born on farm near this city thirty seven years ago. He often boasts that he and his family are not only "Arkan- sans" but they are Rogers, Benton County, Arkansans, his wife and each of his three children having been born in Rogers. Mr. Nance is a sue cessful lawyer. He commenced prac- ticing law here some ten years ago and at once built up an extensive
 
 having been compelled by necessity to own efforts For number of years he worked as freight train brakeman or the Frisco railroad and studied law during his leisure hours and by such means obtained his law education. For three and half years he served as deputy prosecuting attorney for this County under Hon. c. A. Fuller of Eureka Springs and made an eXcep tionally good record. He is now Mayor of Rogers and is also making good in that office We have known him since he was a mere boy and he grew to manhood under our personal observation and with our knowledge of his character and ability We feel justified in recommending him to the to the voters of this Judicial Circuit as a man capable in every respect of properly discharging the duties of the Prosecuting Attorneys office, and one who will always be true to his trust
 He has won for himself reputation for being an incessant worker and fearless and impartial in the discharge of duty, and we believe that if he is elected Prosecuting Attorney the affairs of that office will be in safe hands and that the people will never have just cause to complain of his ad ministration. He is naturally liberal and merciful and would never under any circumstance resort to persecu ton, but we predict those, who vio- late the laws will be vigorously pros ecuted.
 The voters can make no mistake in selecting Mr Nance for their Prose- nit ttorpou and iOnCrnI1oh hp favorably known throughout the four counties composing the 4th Judicial Circuit and has countless number of loyal friends who are strongly support ing him in this race we predict that he will be our next Prosecuting Attor- ney.

 Green Forest, Ark. It is with pleasure I send the dollar to keep The Tribune coming this way. It is like getting letter from home. It brings us many glad tidings and some very sad ones.
 1917 was very. dry year for us. About all we can see for our years work is the adding of 3 rooms to our house and the increase in our stock but 1 guess we won't starve as we have wheat enough to make our bread and meat to do us. Made about 20 gallons of lard.
 Well the Arkansas folks who live out here are doing very well. MD Naples is prosperous farmer and stockman, James Naples has bought nice home and J. w. Purselley has ordered a new Ford.
 The Loving Mining Co. has begun work to reopen the coal mines on our land. think they will make it pay this time.
 Well our aim is to make 1918 great year and bring great blessings and a lasting peace the world over. am looking forward to the time when I can come back to Arkansas and see my old friends.

A SNOW STORM

One time l was visiting my aunt when 1t came a snow storm
 It just showed and showed and when we went to bed it was still showing.
 The next morning we children went out and made snow man.
 We played that we were the U. s. soldiers and the snow man was Germany.
 We would go up to him and say, Are you ready to fght?" He would just stand there like he was glad to light.
 We got some long sticks and one of my cousins stood behind the snow man and when we would hit the snow m an my cousin would hit at US.
 We played that way until there was nothing left of the snow man.
 I hope that is the way the United States will do Germany.
 Federal Veterans Pass Resolutions At called meeting of Federal vete- ians of the Civil war, residents of l Green Forest, Arkansas, held on the 18th day of January 1918, the follow ing Resolution was unanimously adopt ed:
 Whereas the vast majority of the rapidly dimishing number of survivors of the Great War are beyond the age of self support and rate of pensions nnder present law has become wholly inadequate to meet the dem ands of the rapidly increasing cost of living, and
 Whereas, we believe a general in crease in the present rate of S2O. % per month is needful to meet such advancing costs of living, and to enable these veterans to support themselves and their dependents in anything like comfort; therefore,
 Be it resolved: That we endorse each of the three bills now pending in Congress looking to an increase of pensions, and particularly that now pending in the United States Senate. by Senator Jones of Washington and that we earnestly request our Senators and Representives in Congress to give same their hearty support;
 Resolved, further, that copy here of be forwarded to each of the Sena- tors and Congressmen from Arkansas. and that a copy be forwarded to Sena. tor Jones as an expression of appreci- ation of his efforts.
