The Naxarene Meetings.

The interest in the meetings is in
creasing. Sunday was very profit
able day. The morning text was
taken from Rom. S:6-7-"To be earn
ally minded is DEATH" Death to
spirituality; death to innocency;
death to the prayer meeting, to the
family altar, etc, the truth being
clearly. set forth that every child came
into the world with the carnal nature.
Some incidents were given, especially
from the lives of children, illustrating
this fact. Scripture was given prov
ing that freedom from the carnal mind
may be obtained through faith in the
blood Of Jesus and complete conse-
Grafton, subsequent to conversion. A
number Of seekers knelt at the altar at
the close Of this service.
The evening text was taken from
Mark 1896. Some apt illustrations
were given in this discourse, one es-
pecially from the Wall Street Jour-
nal, stating what America needed was
not capital, not western irrigation,
nor the development Of arid lands; not
more extensive railroad systems, but
old fashioned religion, the kind that
caused our fathers to have family wor-
ship during harvest season, and caus-
ed them to unhitch q half hour earlier
Thursday evening to- 60 to prayer
meeting. This the paper said, not
from q religious, but from CONNER
cial standpoint.
Meetings are to continue every night
this week, also at 2:45 p. nj.

OUTSTANDING OF STOCK COWS

If clover hay is available less pro-

But in Kentucky hay costs from $35
to $42 a ton now and grain mixtures
can be purchased for from $50 to $55.
For that reason in it's place farmers
are feeding some barley straw that

LABOR AND CAPITAL
(Leslie's)

The plan to make strikes or boy
colts unlawful during the period of
the war should not be represented as
labors or capitals victory. Conces-
sions were made by both, resulting in
what may be called victory for the
freedom of both.
The report submitted by the War
Labor Conference, appointed by Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson, outlines a
program for the prevention of indus
trial troubles during the war. and
contains provisions that should insure
industrial peace when the war is over.
Each side agrees to lay aside its pow
erful weapon-the strike and the lock-
out-for the period of hostilities. En-
ployers are not to discharge workers
because of union membership, and
workers are not to use coercive meas
ures to induce persons to join their
unions or compel employers to bar
gain with them. All these provisions
might we'll become permanent part
of the new industrial order.

AIDS THE CHILDREN, TOO

Brief dispatches from overseas tell
us that the American Red Cross is
now ministering to more than 10000
little children in France-children
fatherless because of the war; chill
dren essentially motherless because
their mothers have been forced to re-
place the men folks in industry; chill
dren driven with the repatriated
hordes from the occupied territory Of
France and Belgium.
Another brief cable from dstraught
Russia says: "The American Red
Cross has shipped condensed milk and
other rations sufficient to feed $4,000
needy children"
Many families in our community
have sons, brothers, husbands, ne
phews or grandsons in the army and
navy. To those of us the American
Red Cross has an instant appeal, for
we know that the Red Cross is pre-
pared to meet the needs of those loved
ones. But when the work for the lit
tie children is pointed out, the Red
Cross Immediately challenges even
deeper sympathies, particularly in all
those of our homes where there are
happy, romping little ones.
Each day this Red Cross of ours Is
widening its already broad vision

A STUPID PRACTICE
Chicago Post)

Chicago POST
The practice of compelling persons
charged with disloyalty to kiss the
Stars and Stripes is silly display of
patriotism insulting to the flag.
The kiss is the salute Of affection.
1t is a travesty to enforce 1t from
those who have no real love for Old
Glory in their hearts, and whose lips
have spoken words that awakened the
anger of loyal men. II the kiss is re-
quired as a penalty, then the use to
which the flag is put is wholly wrong.
You would not punish man who had
insulted your wife by compelling him
to kiss her.
Let the offender be made to apollo
gize publicly and humbly in the pres
ence of the flag, but reserve the sa-
lutte of affection for those who really
love it and whose love has been
proved by service.
