PETE MCGUIRE
or
Nature and Grace

1t has always been thought Il most
critical case
If Il man is possessed OF more nature
than grace;
For theology teaches that man, from
the first,
Was sinner by nature and justly
accursed;
And salvation by grace was the won
derful plan
That God had invented to save erring
man. =.
Twas the only atoncment He knew
how to make
To annul the effects of His own sad
mistake.
Now this was the doctrine of good
parson Brown,
Who preached not long since in n
small country town.
He was earnest and jealous, and could
In describing the torturcs of sinners
in hell
L
the place,
And hundreds of souls found saliva
ton by grace.
But he felt that he had not attained
his desire
Till he had converted one Peter Nc
CURE.
This man was a blacksmith, frank,
fearless and bold,
With great brawny sinews like Vul-
can of old.
He had little respect for what minis
tiers preach,
And sometimes was very profanc in
his speech.
His opinions were based on clear
common sense,
And he spoke as he thought, though
he oft gave offense.
But however wanting, in whole or in
part,
He was sound and all right when you
came to his heart.
One day the good parson, with Plus
intent,
To the smithy of Peter most hope
fully went;
And there, while the hammer indus
triously rang,
He preached and he prayed and ex-
horted and sang.
And he warned and entreated poor
Peter to fly
From the pit of destruction before he
should die,
And to wash himself clean from the
worlds sinful strife
In the blood of the Lamb and the
river Of life.
Well, what would you now be inclin-
ed to expect
Was the probable issue and likely
effect?
Why, he sworc like pirate, and what
do you think:
From little Black Bottle he took
something to drink!
And he said, an not mention the
blood of the Lamb,
But as for that river, it's not worth
ID"
Then pausing, as if to restrain his
rude force,
He quietly added, "a mill-dam, OF
course"
Quick out of the smithy the minister
fled
As though big bomb-shell had burst
near his head.
And as he continued to haste on his
way
He was too much excited to sing or
to pray.
But he though how that some were
elected by grace,
As heirs of the kingdom made sure
of their place;
While others were doomed to the
pains of hell fire
And if ever there was one such 1t
was Peter Mcclure.

Strong Fer Preparedness.
When the European war began
Roosevelt vigorously advocated Z pol
ICY of national preparedness, urging
universal military training for the ma

newspaper writings he criticized, in
this respect, the policies of Woodrow
Wilson during Mr.. Wilson's first term
as president
Mr.. Roosevelt, it has been said. was
keenly disappointed when ne did not
receive the republican nomination for
president i'll 1916. At the same time
however, he refused to follow the ad-
vice of some of his staunchest follow
erS that he again head the progressive
party ticket. Instead he prevailed up
on the progressive party to make
Charles Evans Hughes the republican
candidate, its own choice. He cam
raigned for Mr.. Hughes. With the re-
election of Mr.. Wilson, and America S
entry into the world war soon after,
Roosevelt Immediately supported the
president and bitterly assailed the
pro- Germans, pacifists and other type
of men who attempted to delay speed
ing up the war
With the United States belligerent,
Roosevelt endeavored to obtain the
| consent of the war department to es-

was anxious to take to France. This

in January. 1918, when he conferred
with United States Senator George
Z. Chamberlain of Oregon and other
cal of the administration methods OF
prosecuting the war. Roosevelt on
