ADDRESS BY ELDER HAMMOCK

Elder Tindall was speaking of the song:
''T1e taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day.
The first time I heard that sung was in mis-
sion about twenty-five or thirty years ago; but
/ never really knew the meaning Of that song,
until I heard the message in Zion
When first heard lions message and Obeyed
that message a great Joy came into my life and
my heart has been happy ever since.
| came into Zion as of the charter mem
bers in Cincinnati Shortly after DR.. Dowie
came and organized branch in that city. He
delivered the message, and [ thank God for his
memory and that was led to God through him.
want to thank God this morning for keeping
me all these years in Zion.
In the Third Chapter of Genesis the Fourth
Verse; we see there the devil introducing the first
lie into the Garden of Eden.
'And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die"
Adam and Eve were put into the Garden Of
Eden under perfect environment and here
we see the devil talking to Eve In the Sixth
Verse; we have very dark, sad picture
"And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat
We see Eve and Adam, her husband, willfully
disobeying the voice of God and obeying the voice
of the devil. From that very moment, a very
dark night began to settle over this poor, old
world That night is getting darker and darker
What a terrible night it has been!
There is no other way given whereby men and
women can be saved, except through Jesus the
Christ
For God so loved the world, that He gave
His Only Begotten Son, that whatsoever beeveth
in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life" John 3:16
But many as received Him, to them gave
He power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on His Name" John | IL
That is the only way you and will be able to
get out from under this terrible night There
is other way. You may say to me that you
have very large bank account and large
amount of property; that you have great lands
brilliant education and bright keen mind
| would not give you the snap of my finger for
it all, if you are not using it for the good of
humanity and for the honor and glory of God
There is no hope for you, my brother or my sister,
unless you have been "born again" | thank
from this terrible darkness
AS have just said to you, this night is grow
ing darker and darker but soon the Christ, the
will come and take His Bride and we will go
home with Him.
Let each and every one of us be determined
to put on the whole armor of God, and "press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus"
L thank God for the opportunity of saying
these few words. My prayer is that He will
keep you and me faithful even unto the end

"And the opposition comes mainly from the
so-called Democratic party. It is no wonder
that Europe looks upon American party politics
with bewilderment The Democratic label seems
oddly placed on party that refuses the vote to
nearly half the population"

Atlantic City, N. j., June ia
resolution asking President Wilson
Immediately to remove Postmaster
General Burleson from Office was
adopted unanimously today by the
American Federation of Labor in con-

The resolution regarding the post

direct conflict with this enunciation of
principle"

suited in demoralized service and con-
fined and choked industry processes,
the memorial continues:
"Resolved that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in convention assem-
bled, speaking directly for 100000
organized wage earners and firm in
the belief that this reflects the senti-

4 WAY TO KEEP THE
MEXICAN BANDITS OUT
II Is Proposed to Build LAO Miles of
Bandit and Smuggler-Proof Fence
Between Gulf and Pacific.

Between Gulf and Pacibc.
Fort Sam Houston. Tex, June IT,
It win cost approximately s2,ss0,O00
to build a barbed wire fence along the
whole length Of LAO miles Of the
international border between the
United States and Mexico, according
Co rough estimates received here, 1t
is the unanimous opinion of American
army officers who have seen service
on the border that it would be money
well spent and that it would mean a
saving of much more than that sum
10 the expense of guarding the bor-
der under the present method. The
type of fence that is proposed would
be practically bandit and smuggler
proof. While it would be possible
for gaps to be made in it, device has
been perfected which would sound the
alarm in the nearest patrol box when
a wire was cut.
AS an auxiliary to the proposed
wire fence barrier it is proposed in
military circles that a highway be
constructed by the government along
the whole length of the border from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean. Maj. Gen. De Rosey G. Cabell,
commander of the Southern depart
ment, with headquarters here, has
written to Congressman John w.
Garner urging tina appropriations be
made by the present Congress.

COL. W. S. CLAGETT IS DEAD.
Was Kansas City's Friend and Had
Friends in West Arkansas.

3 II TltUAN III " Ncr al AttAA7tt'-
Copies Of the Kansas City Journal
sent to The Star by Mrs. William s.
clagett of Kansas City, tell of the
recent death and burial of her hus-
band, who is quite well known to
good many Mena. Polk County and
Eastern Montgomery county people.
He was 81 years of age.
Colonel Clagett, as he was general
" known, has been coming to this To-
cality at various times for a good
many years, and was particularly in
terested in the waters hereabout, and
purchased tract of land on which
were some quite noted mineral
springs and made improvements
which caused postoffice to be estab-
lished and named Clagett in his honor.
Something of Colonel Clagett, his
life and death, as taken from the Kan
sas City Journal, is here given. The
heading to the article reads:
"Col. Clagett, City's Friend
Dies at ST."
William Shields Clagett, prominent
politician and good fellow, the man
who knew Kansas City and everybody
in it, died yesterday at his home, 545
Park avenue. Altho in failing health
for two years, Mr.. Clagett had been
seriously i'll only for the last two
months
Everybody in Kansas City called
him Colonel Of good fellowship who
greeted everybody from the mayor
down to the courthouse janitor with:
"Glad to see you. How you comin'2
Fine? That's good Wen, | mustn't
take up too much Of your time. Every
minute with you is worth a dollar, and
my minutes are only worth nickel,
but glad | saw you"
Colonel Clagett was successful
politician in the city, serving for two
terms under Mayor Jost as city audi
tor. A loyal Mason, he was potentate
Of the Ararat Shrine in 1910. During
that time he inaugurated the custom
of the Shriners' dry banquet which
every succeeding potentate has OBJ
served. With the fund saved by the
dry banquet plan, he instituted the
giving Of Thanksgiving baskets to the
poor.
Born at Lexington, Mo, in 1852,
Colonel Clagett early entered the mer-
camille business with his father, going
later to the Schruggs, Vandervoort &
Barney Mercantile Company in st.
Louis, and still later to Mexico, Mo,
where he became agent of the Taylor
Manufacturing Company In 1900 he
came to Kansas City and founded the
Clagett Storage Company in the West
Bottoms, of which he was manager,
until going into public office.
"He who makes two blades grow
where one blade grew before is pub
lie benefactor." That was the Colo
nel's favorite quotation and the one
that suited him best.
The most prominent men of Kansas
City were attendants and pallbearers
at Colonel Clagett's funeral.

day night for a further invasion of
Germany. The troop concentration
ordered by Marshal Foch has been
