IN PLEASANT PLACES
Rev. I. N. Clegg is Serving Field
Where the People Are Continu-
ally Remembering Their Pastor.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Iona, Midway, Pembroke, Elrod and
Hill Side: since coming to this field
the lines have fallen to us in pleas
ant places. The Lord has blessed lis
in many ways; for all Of whica we
are deeply grateful. We have receiv-
ed forty-five members into these
churches in little over year. We
have organized two Christian Endeav-
or societies. They are doing splendid
work. The attendance upon the
preaching services at all these
churches is good.
Our good people do not wait till
Thanksgiving and Christmas to fill
our pantry, but all along during
the year they send in fresh vegetables,
Irish and sweet potatoes, fresh eggs,
fresh butter, fresh beef, sausage ,pud-
ding, backbone, hams, chickens and
Thanksgiving turkey, canned fruits,
Jelly, preserves. AS if this were not
enough, substantial money remem-
brances for Christmas, and as this was
not yet sufficient, they rolled in new
automobile laden with many good
things for a Christmas present.
Besides our people, Rev. Mr.. Mills
and his good people have opened wide
their hands and given us many good
things also. Then the people of the
other denominations, voluntarily and
freely added contributions for the new
car. To one and all who helped to
make the new car reality, we ex-
tend our sincere thanks. This new
car will greatly lessen the manual la
Dor of this wide field. Ordinarily we
have, counting the sermonets to the
children, five services on the 1st and
3rd and four services on the End and
4th Sundays. We find that if the hu-
| man body is very much dilapidated we
cannot well handle all these services
| in one day and ride many miles be-
sides.
We have a delightful people te
work with, and they are growing II
their gifts to the Masters kingdom
For all of which we are grateful, frs
to the Giver Of every good and perfec1
| gift, and to every one for all thu
many acts Of kindness rendered. II
this day Of high cost of living the!
have made our living a reality.
Sincerely,

Chamberlain Was Net Trying to Hell

Chamberlain Was Net Trying to Help
the President.
New York World.
President Wilson errs on the side of
moderation when he says that "Sen-
ator Chamberlain's statement as to
the present inaction and ineffective
ness Of the government is an asto uisil-
ing and absolutely unjustifiable dis
tortion Of the truth" Nor Is Senator
Chamberlain very happy in his reply
when he insists that "my argument
was directed to the military establish
ment and not to other departments of
the government" What the Sena-
tor said is this: "Now, in conclusion,
l have only touched few of the high
spots, let me say that the military es-
tablishment of America has fallen
down. There is no use to be optimis-
tic about thing that does not exist.
1t has almost stopped functioning, my
friends. Why? Because Of the in
efficiency in every bureau and in ev-
cry department of the Government of
the United States. Senator Cham
berlain said exactly what the Presi-
dent charged him with saying, and
his sweeping assertions are no less
an "absolutely unjustifiable distortion
of the truth" when restricted to the
War Department than when applied to
the Government of the United States
as whole. The War Department has
not "almost stopped functioning". On
the contrary, it is going ahead with
greater speed and with greater ener-
gy than ever before, as Senator Cham.
berlain we'll knows and as he admits
when he says that Secretary Baker
"has made much improvement" in the
organization of the department. The
Chamberlains speech was deliberate
attack upon the Government in order
to incite public sentiment in favor o.
the War Cabinet bill, Of which the
Senator is the official father. That
was it's only excuse. Nobody identi.
fled with that surreptitious and sub
terranean measure can pretend that
he was trying to help the President
or to aid the Administration in carry,
ing on the war.
