GERMANY'S PEACE OFFER.

Germany offers ter ms of peace.
She would claim nothing in the
West, but would hold vast terri
tory in the East. She offers to
restore Belgium. What kind OF
restoration could she make? She
might possibly rebuild the costly
cathedrals. 1t might be possible
for her, in time, to restore the
ruined orchards. Could she re-
store the old men whom she
murdered ? Could she restore to
the mothers the little children.
who pierced by bayonets, were
carried through the streets Z
Could she restore the hundreds OF
women who were outraged and
murdered by a brutal soldiery
with the connivance of the
higher authorities =?
Could she restore the women
and children whom she sent to
the bottom of the ocean ? Could
she restore the thousands OF
young men, suddenly called from
peaceful pursuits, to meet death
III its most horrible forms =!
Could she restore the thousands
of prisoners who were subjected
to the most horrible outrages!
Could she call back to life the
mer whom she crucified in the
presence of their comrades? Gould
she restore the happy homes OF
the Belgian peasants, which with
their contents were burned AND
the occupants murdered ?
If she could do these things
what would peace mean? II
would mean only an opportunity
for Germany to make preparation
for a greater and more horrible
war. Every scientific discovery
for the destruction of human life
would be perfected. 1t would
mean a few years of recovery and
preparation for the great drive
by which Germany would be en-
ab'ed to extend her worse thar
savage assaults upon every ma
ton of the world.
Peace is earnestly desired by
all, but not such peace as Ger
many would give. She has M
national honor and any treat,
which she would now make
would in very few years L,

Bishop Wilson'S Life As Told By
Dr.. Harris.
A Great Preacher Because o.
The Greatness OF His
Religious Faith.

Religious Faith.
Everyone who heard preach
the late Bishop Wilson, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, recognized a quality OF
distinction in him. A man oil
patriarchal appearance, South.
ern drawl to bis speech and an
unusual but effective type of or
atory, he impressed others than
members of his own church and
others than members of the evan
gelica1 churches. It was a little
difficult to analyze this distinc-l
ton of his or to discover the SCI
cret of his power, for there was
nothing conventional about his
manner or method of speaking.
But there was no denying either
his distinction or his power.
In "Alpheus w. Wilson, a
Prince in Israel" (Board Of
Church Extension on the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South,
Louisville), DR.. Carlton D. Har-
ris, the editor of the Baltimore
Southern Methodist, goes far to
clear this mystery. Bishop Will
SON was great preacher because
Iof the greatness of his religious
faith. A man of exceptional
scholarship and of exceptionally
wide reading, a man who had
Travelled much and undergone
wide experiences, he never made
a parade of his learning or his
Accomplishments. He had a
message to deliver and he deliv-
Tered it. He had zeal and fervor
land conviction and these quail
tiles enabled him to move his
Hearers.
l Bishop Wilson was born in
Baltimore in 1884. His grand
father was a West Virginia law
lyer of great ability. who served
his State in Congress. An uncle
Iof the Bishop also became a
member of Congress. His father
first studied law, but afterward
entered the ministry. being the
first Methodist of the Wilson
lime. 1t will surprise good
many acquaintances of the Bisl-
Top, who knew him only in recent
wears, to learn that he also was
a lawyer and practiced his pro.
fession in this city from 1866 to
1869, Withdrawing from the min
istry in order to secure the money
wherewitl TO pay certain debts
which he had Incurred during
the war between the States.
Those debts once paid he re-en-
tered the ministry, declining, at
the time of his readmission, a
retainer in single case larger
than the highest annual salary
Ipaid in his conference.
/ Of his early struggles, when
he led a Wesleyan life of hard
ship in the itinerancy, of his
travels abroad, in the Orient and
in Palestine, of his triumphs as
missionary secretary and Bishop
Dr. Harris writes entertaiuingly
land we'll. There are three ana
llytical chapters dealing with the
Bishop as preacher, his mental
habits and powers and his home
life and social qualities. Num-
erous extracts from letters, writ
|ings and sermons are given which
re-empliasize the sincerity of his
convictions and the completeness
lof his devotion.
The biography will be found
interesting not only by all Meth
odists, but also by all who ap-
preciate rugged manhood and.

Curtis w. Watkins, who for long
time has handled the books in the
City Water & Light Plant, has been
rendered and has accepted a more
lucrative position in Memphis and
will leave August 23rd to assume his
new duties. ~
The place is that of manager of
the supply department of the Mem
phis Motor Car Co., and the place
carries with it an increase of salary
and an opportunity of advancement.
This concern is one in which F. N.
Fisher, former Paris man is much
interested and it is said that the Of
fer Of this position to Mr.. Watkins
is the result of Mr.. Watkins eff
cient work in the L. G. NJ, offices
here when Mr.. Fisher was Superin-
tendent of the road.
Their many friends will regret to
lose Mr.. Watkins and his splendid
family from our midst.
His successor at the City Water &

CITY COUNCIL HAS.
REGULAR MEETING
Routine Matters Disposed of
Councilman J. F.
Alden Resigns

On Tuesday night the legislative
council of the city of Paris met in
regular session in the council chamber
at its regular meeting.
On this occasion a lot Of routine
business was disposed Of in the
usual manner.
Councilman J. F. Alden who was
recently elected to the council to fill
vacancy occasioned by Councilman
Joel M. Porter being elected Mayor,
suggested the constitution, provides
among other things that member of
the council shall hold real estate to
the value of given sum, and that he
did not own real estate in the city,
so was not eligible to membership,
so therefore rendered his resignation.
His resignation was accepted and
an election to name his successor
was called for the next meeting night.
That Mr.. Alden was unanimously
elected to the place shows the es-
teen in which he was held by his col
leagues who expressed regrets that he
vacate the place.

Big Revival at
Lebanon, Church

The revival which was in progres a
Lebanon church in the north part Of
the county near Puryear all last weel
closed Sunday night.
Rev A. N. Walker, the pastor, wht
is loved by his congregation and who
has had very successful year SC
far, on this work, was assisted by
Rev. j. E. Underwood, of Atwood.
It was said that since the days OF
the old camp ground services at this
place there had not been such a re.
vival.
There were more than 80 confes-
sions and over 20 additions to the
church. The confessions were among
the older heads of the neighborhood,
men and women who had waited SO
long before enlisting in the church
and this made the services more inn
pressive. The church and communi-
ty was greatly revived.
Rev. Underwood is neighborhood
boy, having been reared in this church
and his influence and the life he has
lived was greatly felt. His manner
of illustration and bringing the gos-
pei within reach of every one was
much appreciated and is remarkable
in one who has only been preaching
for year. We predict for him
great things in this career he has
chosen.
