the proprietors, there Is little evil

people from the city also entertain
their soldier friends at the church

and find this out for yourself
read not a little snatch here and
there, but long passages that will
really be the road to the heart of it..
You win find. it full of real men and
women, not only, .but also Of things
you have wondered about and been
troubled about all your life, as
men have always been; and the
more you read the more it will be-
come plain to you what things are
worth while and what are not; what
things that make men happy-Ioyal-
ty, right dealings, speaking truth,
readiness to give everything for
what they think their duty, and
most of all, the wish that they may
have the real approval Of the Christ
who gave everything for themand
the things that are guaranteed to
make them unhappy selfishnesA,
cowardice, greed and everything
that is low and mean, When you
have read the bible you will know
that it Is the word or God, because
you will have found it the key to
your own heart, your owD happi-
ness and your own duty"
The greatest men of all ages have
not only found consolation and com
fort and instruction in reading the
bible, it is one book that never
grows old, and no matter how
often it is read the reader is sure to
find new truths and beauties in it at
each successive perusal. It cannot
be read specifically, as novel is
read, or as a newspaper is read, be-
cause no matter in what spirit the
reading is begun it will soon become
serious and Of absorbing interest.
And the further one goes the more
reluctant he feels in laying the book
aside. President Wilson has said
many wise and helpful things, but 1t
would be difficult to find in any of
his speeches or writings anything
more valuable than his words which
are quoted in this article.

year ago. ; Records showed yester-
day that 1858 marriage license have
been issued since January t, IN
comparison with 899 license issued
from January I to June "a, 1917
inclusive
Not only the lieutenants have been
marrying but there have been some
captains and occasionally q major
who have secured licenses and there
have also been many privates and
noncommissioned officers, both white
and negro. Little Rock probably has
never had so many non residents sc,
curing marriage license in its history
While many Of the girls are residents
OF Little Rock and Arkansas. there
have been some who have come from
California, Minnesota, Louisiana
New York and euqally as distant
states to marry soldiers here
And the selling OF marriage license
has been flourisbing in Little Rock,
notwithstanding that Pulaski county
il one Of the most expensive counties
in the state to secure license. The
fee here as fixed by the. last Iegis-
lature is $3.50 An additional so
cents was added at the Last session
of the legislature TO be credited to
the vital statistics fund The fee
was formerly SO, 1t was said at
