This is another opportunity for one
to line up en- the side of righteous
ness under the banner of the Master
Christ. The free lance in Christ's
Army does not have more chance fer
effective service than does the free
lance. of the American Army There
is no neutral ground "He that is
not for me is against me; and he
that gathereth not with me scatter

Sometimes the effect of dis
loyal Christians life is to discourage
would-be soldiers from enlisting un-
der the banner of the Captain of our
Salvation. This should not be. 10y
atty is very fine thing; and not ev-
cry soul is equal to it. Loyalty can
scarcely be defined; and it cannot be
commanded nor enforced Each one
is responsible for his own life; and
the failure of another cannot lessen
that obligation.
The church stands for Christianity
in this world. And those who think
that Christianity could survive the
church are simply deceiving them
selves. The facts must be faced. Two
vast armies face each other. All
people are not in these two armies
But forget it not; these two armies
and their soldiers are doing the eff
fective fighting, for destruction
and the other for the salvation of
mankind.

AND WHAT IF THE PRESIDENT
SHOULD DIE?

Hon. w. j. Harris comes out every
few days with statement of his
loyalty to President Wilson, and
promising to always vote as the Pres
ident tells him to vote, and in all
matters to stick to the President, or
words to that effect.
Now as the term of Senator which
Bill seeks, is for 6 years, and extends
four years beyond President Wilson's
term of office, will Bill let us know
from whom he expects to take his
orders after the first two years. And
then suppose Bill should be elected.
and President Wilson should die,
there would be Bill, up there in Wash
ington, and nobody to get orders
from.
Now really, brethren, that letter
of so-called endorsement by the
President, is a good deal like one Of
these petitions we some times see
carried around a community, that
don't mean mach, but is harmless,
so everybody signs it, because it's
mighty mean man who won't sign
petition.
There is no doubt that Bill has
been loyal to the President in his
sphere, just as the Presidents cook,
or butler, or gardner, or his boot
black has been, or just as thousands
of other good people in the state of
Georgia have been, but that does not
qualify him to become Uniled
States Senator from the state of
Georgia. Nor did the President ask
us to make him one.
When he came down to Thomas
vile last year to the Press Associa-
ton, and got enough of the boys to
thinking he was the choice of the
President fer Hardwick's seat, and
they all practically pledged him their
support, we think they made mis-
take.
SO far as we have been able to
learn there has never been any popu-
lar enthusiasm for Mr.. Harris in
Georgia.
He does not appeal to the common
people of the state, and we don't be-
lieve the united press of the state
will be able to elect him. Nor do
we believe that all the papers will try
to do SO, and we would advise them
to "swap bosses" right soon.
Old Horace Greedy use to say
that ''by the damaable power of re-
iteration, some people are finally led
to believe lie to be the truth" but
we do not believe that if every paper
in the state announced in flaring
headlines every day that "W. ]. Har-
ris is a great man" that they would
fool even themselves.
And as we said before, if by any
chance Bal should get there what
would he do if the President should
die? Would he look to the coal mine
owners for advice?
