In speech in Topeka the other
Gay Governor Allen, of Kansas, said
that the friendships formed between
the men of that state. and Missouri
during the war would wipe out the
boundary line between the two
states. As long, as Kansas persists
IN electing men such as Allen gov
ernor the Missouri soldiers will want
that line to be plainly marked. They
have small use for a man, who from
\ safe place, far in the rear, for
purely selfish political reasons, finds
fault with the efforts of those who
are doing their best, and that best
was good enough to beat the best
soldiers OF Germany, in the front
line trenches,

Last Sabbath was record breaker.
After a number were received into
the church and given a hearty well
come by the congregation when the
Armenian and Syrian relief work was
presented and the offering taken,
which to date is 1857. with perhaps
more to follow. This was a real
praise service in which it was demon
strated that it is more BLESSED to
give than to receive" Much credit
is due to the Brethren S. Cramer and
l.. ~ Wickham. who were on the Ar
menian and Syrian committee. They
all did we'll for this noble cause.
Next Sababth at 1000 a. M. Sun
day school will be held. Preaching
at 1880 a. m. and 1880 p. m. In
the morning the probable subject will
be THE Hills of Help" and the ev-
ening subject, "a Lawyers Estimate
of Gods People" These are sub
jects that will interest you and be
very helpful in life.
Not all of the Eyangelicals have
attended all of the week of prayer
services (Which would bring soul
food to them) because some were
on the sick list These are excus-
able. Others forgot to fire up their
spiritual thermometer sufficiently to
be interested in those timely and i'm
portant subjects, but they were not
