BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL

Will you kindly announce in your
paper this week the Baptist Theolog-
ical School to be held with the First
Baptist church of Corinth, Jan. 14-18
inclusive? These schools are under
the auspices of our Baptist State
Missionary Board, and are intended
for all Missionary Baptist Preachers

young people, etc. They are abso-
lutely without cost to anybody at
tending them.
The State Board furnishes all the
teachers and Corinth furnishes free
entertainment. Let me urge all those
for whom these schools are intended
to make arrangements to attend.

Cambridge Mass, Dec. Is, 1917.
Mr.. J. H. Stanley, Saltillo, Miss,
My Dear Friend.-One day last week
l received the Beautiful Showers of
Praise" and you may be ure that it
was cordially welcomed into my
northern home. The book, if pub
lished by another company at anoth-
er place, would be a hit; but to know
that it is made of songs composed by
people whom l know to be my friends
and the fact that these friends live in
and lear dear old Saltillo, carry me
back to the sunny south and place
me once more in your midst. You
can not imagine to what height l
prize it.
At the present time there are some
three thousand sailor boys in school
here studying to be wireless opera
tors aboard Uncle Sans ships. TITS
true that there will be a great res
possibility upon us as operators, be-
cause we are to be the navy's ears,
but we are studying to become pro-
ficient so that we will be able to meet
the responsibility with a vim and
without fear of any harm coming to
our ships through u neglect
or inability to perform our duties.
The course has been raised to sew
enteen weeks in length. 1t is so ar
ranged that a class graduates every
week. To fill the vacancy left by
the boys going out, there are boys
brought from preparatory radio
schools maintained at the various
training stations. | have only six
weeks yet to do in the school. You
need not ask me where / go from
here, because l do not have the
slightest idea. In the navy n is not
supposed to know where he is going
until he has reached his destination,
even then he does not know where
he is going, only where he has been,
but ! have a strong idea that we will
make the Kaiser have some serious
thoughts before this is all over.
Let's all do our bit, whatever that
may be. Success and a merry Christ
mas is my wish to each of you.
| am Your friend,
j. C. James.

the army and navy, and it not only
made the citizens of Okolona tired,
but they were, practically with one
accord, outraged when their congress-
man came into their midst to spread
distrust and sedition.
"There have been two COMPRESSION
al elections since the appointment of
a postmaster in Okolona, and you car
ried this city both times by a good ma
jority. You know that the people of
Okolona are satisfied with their post
master, and that he could now get
practically a unanimous Endorsement
for reappointment, and you know al
so that no feeling of personal spite
or rancor would induce any one of
the 1877 men who signed the resolu-
tons to libel their congressman or
any other man.
"Why don't you repeat your Oko-
Iona speech in other communities?
l am advised that you haven't done
it since you left Chickasaw county.
Why, if there is nothing back of the
oppressed indignation of our citizen
sbiS>except a petty postoffice fight?
81 iT,Vte you to publicly deny the
above version of your speech at Oko-
Iona, and 1 pifQmise you, if you do,
enough afidavits e the pest peopie

Thomas Kincannon-Elkin Co,

not have been reelected, and did you
not then say 1T makes me tired for
people to be telling me stand by the
president that you owed no duty to
stand by the president unless he is
right, in your opinion, and that you
were proud of the fact that you were
one of the "a congressman who voted
against the final passage of the mill
tary bill, giving as your principal rea-
son the fact that the Kahn amendment
was introduced by a standpat Repub-
lican in a Democratic Congress?
You did do this, and by so doing you
undermined, or endeavored to do so,
the confidence the American people
Mace n their commandments, in
time of wal.
Suppose Wien Gen. Pershing gives
an order for the movement OF troops
under his command-some petty officer
goes among the troops nd>1ells tnem
that Pershing is a mahF, just X
themselves, that he has made mistakes
and that their officers were hanonng
them and using their lives solely for
the advancement of their own selfish
interests-in short, that their leaders
were traitors.
"You stated that the army heads
stopped voluntary enlistment before
the selective service law was passed,
for the purpose of fooling the coun-
try into the belief that the volunteer
the matter of promotions in their
hands, and they would all emerge
from the war as major generals, and
you called attention to the fact that
the president is the head of the army.
All who heard you knew that you were
striking at the president over the
heads of the general staff.

LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIER BOYS
Christmas Afternoon.

Lear -
Am in receipt of the sweater, cake.
and lamp. The sweater and lamp
are very serviceable indeed; the~cake
helped to complete a mighty fine din
ner, which we enjoyed today at the
fort. Thanks for them all.
This hardly seemed like Christmas
to me, when l got up this morning
was somewhat gloomy over the pros
pect but we worked hard all the
morning, the best thing possible and
after enjoying a splendid dinner, the
spirit got in my bones sufficiently for
me tc be glad and thankful that I am
living today and enjoying good
health and comfort.
Came to town to tell Van Frier-
son, Bontor, Caldwell and Hadden
(the last three are from Guntown
and Baldwin, good bye. Their unit
left this afternoon for Hoboken, N.
j. They expect to sail within the
next week OF ten days. Pretty tough
that these fellows had to start their
journey on Christmas day.
Much would l have enjoyed the
children at aunt Mollies and "Monks"
this morning. Hope they had a big
time-and know they are still hap
pier in the anticipation of Papa's
annual fireworks display during the
next few nights.
Atlanta has been very thoughtful
and considerate of the soldiers today.
Thousands of them have been out
to good dinners equally as many
spent last night and today in homes
in the city, and tonight there are in
Vulnerable dances and parties given
for their benefit. Not only does this
apply to the single day and season,
but all the time. Considering the
care and caution which is necessary
with thousands of men from all
walks of life, these people are cred
itably h~ospitable indeed.
Hope to get home some time in
January for a few days, just when /
cannot say; in fact it is not a settled
fact that I'll get a leave at all.
Tell papa l sent the pictures by
registered mail today and hope they
arrive promptly.
It's time to start for the fort and
the bunch are cussing me now for not
h%urrying.
| hope each and everyone was we'll
and happy this morning and that
Santa was good-so good that the
day has been the biggest and best.
Christmas ever spent by any of you,
and I'm sure the New Year holds
forth many blessings for a family
that has been so loyal, unselfsh and
untiring in the periodically humane
work that you have all devoted your
selves to during the past few months.
The Red Cross, Benefit Associations,
and other such noble organizations,
through the good women and men of
this country, (Lee county comes IN
this with a vim) have gladden. many
a poor heart today and have caused
thousands Of homeless boys in this
big army to shed tears of joyful APP
probation and caused them to realize
that after all-some one cared. God
bless everyone in this work-the n
organization which has no politics, no
selfish motives, no claim for a return
and no creed but a noble determine
ton to allay suffering, want and
heartaches everywhere on this earth.
