relief. However we must not defer to
pay our vows.
Do you recall the vows taken when
we united with the church; the mar
riage vows, the VOWS to God when we
were very sick. or in great straights by
reason of difficulties? Have they been
paid? Unfulflled obligations lie at the
root of all our difficulties. Sam Jones
puts it this way. MANY pray and act
as if they were afraid God was to fall
down on His promises which He has
made, whereas, God always keeps HIS
word and does better by US than His
word, and where there is failure, it is
not on His part but on ours" Doubt
less Jonah was ashamed that he had
not gone to Nineveh and probably he
told the Lord so. At any rate he was
cast up on dry ground and the COM
mand came a second time, Go to
Nineveh and preach the preaching bid
thee" He had learned the lesson of
obedience and so went without a muir
muir, and no man ever had better sue
cess than he had.
From king to beggar-all sat down in
ssckcloth and ashes and repented of
their sins and turned to God. Even the
dumb brutes, deprived of their usual
food, seemed to partske of the same
spirit. and their plaintiye lowings, &C.
casioned by their fast was mute ap-
peal to God for mercy. They had COM
piled with the conditions and the Lord
had spared them. 1t is as true now as
then. If we repent and believe and &C.
cept Christ we shall be saved. If we
do not we shall be lost.
Strange compound was that self
willed prophet. See him under the
ground that the Lord provided for his
comfort! He is disappointed. chagrin-
ed, actually mad because his message
was needed and the city was saved.
Think of it! Complaining of the COM
passion of the Lord. He seems to be
determined, since he paid the fare, to
60 to Tarshish. Very well, that's our
privilege. PAY your fare and take your
choice. But which shall it be-Tarshish
or Nineveh-Heayen or He'll. Stop
Look! Listen!' Which way will you go?
Remember Jonah.
JOANNES.

Four Minute nen In The Churches

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Please publish the following in the
next issue of your paper.
-Four Minute patriotic talks are now
being given to congregations of church
es of all denominations by their own
pastors and also to Sunday schools by
their superintendent, acting as official
representatives of the Four Minute Men
of the Committee on Public Informa-
ton.
The Church Division of Four Minute
Men will reach eventually a potential
audience. of fifty-seven millions and
more, since there are forty million
Protestant communicates and seven
teen million Roman Catholic communi-
cants in the United States.
There are two hundred and forty
thousand churches in the country, 225,-
900 Protestant and Is, 600 Roman Cath
olic; and it is hoped that eventually
that every gathering in all of these edi-
fees will be addressed by Four MIN
ute Man. Plans are under way to call
nearly two hundred thousand church
men, $50, 604 Protestant and 10, 600 Ro-
man Catholics, to perform this valuable
service TO their Government.
Every minister In Oakland has been
called. They will speak for four min
utes at each church service on some
war or patriotic topic. 1t is hoped to
have eyerv minister in Garrett county
enrolled in this service.

Love was their ruling motive. Loye
was in every service they rendered. 1t
is always true that we are governed by
the spirit of the power we obey. Does
one yield TO material laws then his
life becomes exact, scientific, patient.
Darwin and Ericsson both lost their
ability to appreciate music and were
absorbed in calculations. The soldier
will never be the same as he was as a
civilian, the new obedience will alter his
entire attitude of life. The scholar in
overalls is never mistaken for the daily
wielder of the pick. We absorb the
spirit of that to which we yield hsbi-
tual obedience. Such is the glory of
the acceptance of the Lordship of Jesus.
Inevitably there comes the day when
we reach our Antioch and are called
Christians because we are like Him.

much parcel post There are several
reasons why the allies have not had our
mail troubles. In the first place, Eng
land and France have been heavily af-
fected by the war and have little sur
plus money and time to send unnecces-
sarv presents to their fighting men.
Then too, the maximum weight limit
for packages sent from this country
overseas is seven pounds as compared
with the French and British limit of
two or three pounds. Export laws cut
down British mail, and the short dis
lance from Britain to be covered to
reach the trenches makes it less vital
that every inch of cargo space be uti-
liked.
No limitations, excepting weight,
have been set by the United States on
packages sent to soldiers and sailors in
this country. but moderation and fore
thought are urged upon the public.
Fruit and perishable food of all sorts
should not be entrusted to the mails. In
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-07-25

proof of the wisdom of this advice are
statistics showing that thousands of
packages are destroyed by military
authorities rather than deliver spoilt
articles to the soldiers. This is partic-
ularly true IN southern camps where a
wave of hot weather reduces even the
hardest biscuit to soggy mass after
their sojourn in postoffice and mail train.

The tiger--a magnificent specimen
