years can, in the opinion of the Rev.
Charles A. Shreve, pastor of Mcken-

the detriment of those securing 1t.
The pastor drew his lesson from the
Old Testament, using as an example
the ancient law regarding the term

labor as a form OF slavery with a

These men, the pastor stated, would

gone to a place that was noted for
the discomfort OF its inhabitants. a
population that frequently INDUCED in

Christianity and Saints
Dwell in Unlikely Places,
Says Rev. ]. P. Hand.

I'VE need not look for faithful ad-
herents of the Christian faith In rich

tinued, 'in the homes of the poor, in

Christians.
THE power OF Christianity does its

Rev. DR.. E. B. Bagby De-
clares Lawlessness Must
Be Curbed.

I'VE are about to celebrate tho am
niversary OF the date on which we
threw off the yoke of England" said
the Rev. l.. B. Bagby, pastor of Co
iumbia Heights Christian Church, yes
terday. ''and give vent to our feelings
In regard to our attainment of lib
erty."
Some OF US. 1t seems" said the
pastor. ''are about to throw off the
yoke OF law and order on the same
day. This Is inconsistent. These
anarchists, Bolshevists, who seem un-
able to endure the restraint which
law and order naturally impose, are
the very people who are badly in need
OF yoke of restraint.
when we threw. off the English
yoke. we took on the yoke of a
new Constitution. We took on our
shoulders. the, yoke. of a new free
dom. This yoke means obedience to
the law; respect for the rights of
others and a demand that we uphold
the government.
THE condition OF affairs in the
world today demonstrates that If we
are not TO have one sort OF a yoke on
our shoulders We need to have some
other sort of yoke. There is too much
uisoTuef duu' DiOOuSneu ana laWIeSS-
ness in general 1t is not to the credit
of any Christian nation to have these
things within it's horders.
I'VE do not seem to be able to get
along with no restraints whatever to
deal with. There must be some. II
humanity is given free rein that por-
tion of us who abhor restraint of any
sort would soon be giving sufficient
trouble to keep all the rest of us
busy.
When Christ freed the world OF
its yoke of sin by His, death He i'm
posed upon 1t a yoke to take its place.
1t was the yoke of Christianity. This
yoke calls for restraint in many ways.
1t means that We must curb our sin
full desires and ambitions. 1t means
that We must be ready to sacrifice
whatever is necessary for Us TO sacri-
flee to enter the kingdom of heaven.
What is worth obtaining is worth
sacrificing for. Law and order were
never obtained without sacrifice and
without restraints and yokes placed
upon some. 1t will always be so.
However the yoke of Christianity
is the yoke of law and order. II is
not too hard for us to bear il we are
OF the determined sort, the sort that
made our great country. The yoke of
Christian fellowship. kindliness, trut h
and faith is obligatory on all of us. -

MANY D. G.. FOLKS USE COPS

Varied and Queer Are the Problems Which
Washington Policemen Are Called Upon

Washingtons policemen are often

christianity has never been tried"
said the Rev. III. r Stevenson, pastor
Of the Bethany Baptist Church, yes
terday in commenting on the signing
Of the peace treaty Saturday.
"If it had" the pastor stated, ,'there
would today be no profteering land
lords or merchants, no Bolsheviki or

shrunk beyond recognition and the
disorders of today would not be
pre- sent.
The signing Of the treaty opens up
an entirely new era not only for
Christianity, but for civilization az
well. 1t creates a test of the loyalty
OF The people TO democracy. I quote
as an example of loyalty Induced by
fair and square treatment-that OF

When the Boisheviki and the I. w.

nipeg, the soldiers were on the Job and
put stop to disorders. They did tins
becacse they were loyal-and their
loyalty was due to the square deal by
the government.
What have VIC Gone for our SOL
diers?" the pastor asked. I'VE gave
them $6o-the price of suit of clothes
and left them high and dry. That
sort OF thing does not breed loyalty
or contentment. 1t breeds discomfort.
1t is un-Christianlike.

we cannot go on as we have been
going and reach the goal that Is the
object OF every Christian nation. The
signing of the peace treaty gives us
the greatest opportunity we ever had
namely. the practice of the Golden
Rule.
Peace is here: the opportunity TO

Senator Reed is backing Attorney

of the Kansas City Senator, and
Reed is not merely making a show
of supporting him-he is out to
land him the job. Although the
House members from Missouri had
several candidates of their own.
Reed has got their Endorsement for
McAllister as well, they reserving

Reed is in putting McAllister over

for the White House to turn Reed
down.

tory of St Louis and Eastern Mis-

tive and passive. for the judgeship.
