"Glory be: And-and, Caroline, you

But a few minutes later another
thought came to him.
Caroline" he asked, II wonder IT,
now that things are as they are, you
couldn't do somethin' else-somethin'
that would please me an awful lot?'
"What is it, uncle?"
"It's somethin' perhaps l amt got
any right to ask. The other day you
told me you cared for Jim Pearson

YOU thought you had to earn Twin

that you amt got to do that. And YOU

you s'pose you could send for him now
right off-so he could get here for
this big Thanksgivin' of ours? Don't
you think you could, Gardiner
"Send for him--now?" she asked In a
low tone.
Eyes; now-right osf-in time for to-

A moment, then in whisper, yes,

"Hooray! But--but," anxiously, "hold
on, Caroline. Tell me truly now. You
amt dom this just to please me? You
mustn't do that, not for the world md

account; only just for one reason--be-
cause you want him"
He waited for his answer Then she
looked up, blushing still, but with
smile trembling on her Lips.

tremendous bang.
Half an hour after his dramatic exit
Captain Elisha was pacing up and
down the floor of the barn. 1t was an
old refuge Of his, a place where he was
accustomed to go when matters reqpir-

saw a shadow move across the sir of

CHURCH OF CHRIST
TO HOLD REVIVAL

This is the third week Of the meet
ing of the Church of Christ on East
Oak ST., under the oaks. Interest
continues good with one baptized in
to Christ. We are making prepara-
ton for our boys to fight for the prin-
ciples of democracy and civilization,
but those who claim to love the Lord
seem to be slow to realize that there
never has been time since the
worlds record began that the neces-
sity was greater for the host of Gods
children to be mustered into a solid
body against Satan and his army of
evil workers in his high handed work
OF pollution of sons and daughters, OF
Of our homes and nation. Though the
weapons of our warfare are not car
nal but mighty through God to the
,pulling down of strongholds. Rev.
2:26-the Spirit said through John ):
But he that overcometh and keepeth
my works unto the end, to him will +,
give power over the nations" II all
nations would turn to God and keep
His word recorded in His blood
stained covenant-the New Testament
our sons would come back home
safe and sound and would have to
learn war no more.
Come and hear the gospel preached
without gloves in the name of Christ
Jesus our Lord. "The Spirit and the
Bride say come; let him that heareth
say come, and let him that is athirst
come, and whatsoever will let him take
OF the water of life freely"
May God help all
Your humble servant in the Lord.
