The following is a part of the SER
mon delivered by Rev. A. F. Stahl III
the Christian Church Sunday morning
November 18th:
In the epoch making periods in the
worlds history, no thoughtful person
can escape the conviction that there
is a Living God. If not before them as
a result of triumph of right in the
German defeat, men should come &c
give expression of their conviction OF
a Living God by uniting with others
in public worship. 8 1t honors bo'h
God and man to make public the talth
which one has in the God of the Bible
There are three ways of thinking
about God. Each of which establishes
human faith in Him. We may see
Him. We may see Him as God the
Creator, or second as the God OF Prov
idence, or third as a personal pres
ence abiding with and in man.
/ There needs to be no arguments
made to cinvince the thinker that the
Bible claim of Gods dictatorship Is
true. The massiveness and extensive
ness of the universe; the accuracy Of
the execution of natural laws and the
wonderful wisdom and goodness eN-
pressed in these laws; and the amaz-
ing wonderfulness Of the delicacy'
beauty, intricacy, and variety of both
plant and animal life, all lead to es-
tablishing the Biblical statement that
"In the. beginning God created"
1t is a good thing to spend a little
time now and then studying nature
just to bring ourselves back to God
The Old Testament character Job
when he was hacing struggle with
the awful problems of suffering, came
back to the conviction that there was
a God whom he should trust, by this
very study of nature. Read the thir-
ty-eighth chapter of the Book of Jot

faith in God

CHICKEN MINUS FEATHERS

The little six-year-old daughter was
very observing and had frequently
seen her mother dressed for fashion
able functions. One day she was
watching the maid prepare a chicken
for the oven.
"Oh, mammal" the little one ex-
claimed "Norah is takin' all the
feathers off the chicken!"
Eyes, dear" replied the parent
"She is dressing it."
"Why, mamma, the chicken amt

verse, is the same God who works out
His will in historical events. God has
a hand in the affairs of men.
lie has not withdrawn Himself from
tne world, but He is here, directing
and helping mankind to come to
higher and better life. The sacred
book gives the account of the day in
which either directly, or through this
prophets, He selected men to be lead
ers of His people. Some of these like
Jacob and Samuel we're selected be-
fore their birth. He used evil forces
that were at work, as we'll as good
forces, to help curb sin and aid right
eous causes.
But why go the Bible only for ac-
counts of Jehovah's activity in the
history of nations? This present war
has its proof of unseen and une&plain-
able forces at work. Not once, nor
twice, we're the Huns stopped for some
unknown reason at a time when the
allies had reacher the limit of their
resistance.
The following Psalm, the 124th, is
as appropriate today as it was when
the Hebrew nation used it:
"If it had not been Jehovah who was
on orr side
Let Irael now say,
If it had not been Jehoval who was on
our side.
| When men rose up against us:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us.
! The stream had gone over our soul;
| Then the proud waters had gone over
our soul.
Blessed be Jehovah,
Who hath not given us prey to their
teeth.
| Our soul Il escaped as bird out of
the snare of the fowlers;
| The snare is broken and we are es-
capped.
/, Our help is in the name of Jehovah,
Who made the heaven and EARTH"
The. help of God in personal and ma
.ional affairs is expressed in Christs
words: Therefore say unto you be
not anxious about your life, what won
shall eat, or what ye shall drink, not
yet for your body what ye shall put

Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire has introduced in the Senate
a resolution asking that the agricul-
tural committee of that body inves-
igate the advisability Of admitting
Chinese labor during the period of
the war. The Senator is thorough
Iy alive to the economic danger that
threatens this country unless there
is large increase of farm labor
for the coming season. In ma inter-
view the Senator is quoted as saw
ing 81 think we will be in a very
serious fix unless We get farm labor
Crops everywhere are unharvested
because the labor is leaving the
farms. Complaint comes to me,
some of it bitter, that while the
Government asks the farmer for in
creased production the crops can
not be gathered" The resolution
does not propose to admit Chinese
as citizens or with view to their
permanent residence here, but on
somewhat the same terms as Amer
lean soldiers are sent to France,
under the control of their gofern-
ment, to be returned when their
labor il no longer needed The
plaza at least deseryss careful
thought. The labor shortage is
acute, and does not promise to be
any less so in the future. Ana if
the country is to produce the record
crop expected Of it another season,
there is no time to be lost in ar
ranging for an adequate supply a

EDITOR OF LOUISVILLE POST
DIES SUDDENLY IN CHAIR

Richard Wilson Knott, 68, editor
and publisher of The Louisville
Evening Post and of The Home and
Farm, an agricultural paper, died
suddenly at his home Thursday of
heart failure. He was lying down
while his wife read to him when the
suddenly became ill. He died be-
fore the arrival Of a physician. Mr..
Knott had been ill for more than
a year, but his condition had not
been regarded as serious and his
end was entirely unexpected. He
went home after attending to his
usual duties at his Office and his
wife was reading to ihm when the
end came.
Mr.. Knott started his newspaper
career in Louisville with the Cour-
ier-Journal and was employed as
editorial writer when he took over
The Evening Post. Under his man
agement the paper has always been
profitable piece of property, but
has been famous for the many sides
of the political fence on which it
has been. In the last few years The
Post has been Democratic, but ac-
lively opposed to Governor Stanley
Mr.. Knott was born in Frankfort
68 years ago. He married Miss
Jennie A. Gilmore. One son, Rich

And what if Senator Calder of
New York, did own some $50 shirts 7
That's nothing to question a mans
patriotism for The Senator is
probably well able to afford them.
When he bought them he enabled
his merchant or tailor to make a
payment on a Liberty Bond; the
wholesale house also gathered in a
mite of profit, and the manufactur-
ers of the cloth, likewise the max
ers, and even the seamstress who
-sewed their seams may have had
an extra supper from the proceeds.
1t is such men as Senator Calder
who keep the wheels of commerce
rolling. If every man wore the
cheapest clothes he could find, the
higher priced ones would mildew
on the shelves and famine would
stalk through the land. Let the
Senator wear $50 shirts if he wants

WANT BETTER GAS SERVICE

With a view of making some per-
manent arrangements, or taking
some definite steps against the
Central Kentucky Natural Gas
Company which furnishes fuel to
Winchester, Mt. Sterling, Frank
fort and Lexington, meeting of the
attorneys of these cities will he held
at Frankfort in the near future.
Mr.. r. A. Chiles, City Attorney of
Mt. Sterling, is responsible for the
action. '1t has been my observa-
ton that for the last four or
five years on IA very cold spell
there is a shortage of gas and
an over amount of air pressure,
for which the public has to pay"
he says. "There are also pro-
fuse apologies by the Central
Kentucky Natural Gas Company
and that is as far as it goes.
There is never any reduction
or deduction in the bills, and it
seems that we have to pay for colo
air, just as well as the hot air."
The meeting of the attorneys vii.
probably result in some permanent
relief, not only during this winter
but Ia winters to come.

FED Cross MEMBERSHIP
OVER TWO THOUSAND

Red Cross came to a close last Mon
dav night and when every worker
had reported Chairman r. L. Cole
man announced that the grand total
was 1850 members, or 100 over the
minimum quota apportioned to this
county by the Division Chapter
Hardly q home in the city or coun-
ty but what displayed Red Cross

local Red Cross workers should
feel very proud of their efforts.
Clark county with much larger
population than Montgomery failed
to record as many members and
Fayette's total is much smaller in
proportion to its population. The
bad weather at first proved handi-
cap to the workers but by the last
of the week the rural districts be-
gan to report, steadily increasing
the membership to the total above
stated. Chairman Coleman and his
assistants we're untiring in their ef-
forts to enroll the quota assigned to
Montgomery and in the last two
days of the campaign secured over
200 members. The city and county
were well organized and every
house given a chance to become
member of the Red Cross. The Mt.
Sterling High School became 100
per cent. American when every
student became a member and the
High School girls did splendid work
in assisting Chairman Coleman in
his canvass. The following young
ladies were tireless in their efforts
to make every man, woman and
