Keen for It

Z Gently criticism was made
about Natchitoches. that at the
time was resented but since think
ing it over, it has been decided
that it was not unjust but as q
matter of tact well deserved ana
really meant more in kindly
spirit than in one Of criticism.
The speaker said that the people
of Natchitoches ought to knock
the props into smithereens under
their everlasting theory that all
things come to him who waits,
and start out after what they real
" wanted, and needed. He was
satisfied that no country or earth
was as richly endowed by nature
rs was this, and was as equally
satisfied that nature had never
been allowed to repose rs peace
fully undisturbed as she had been
in Natchitoches.
One of the best things along
educational lines that comes to a
community is commendable publ
city land for higher education and
culture this community would rank
A /, so he had about decided that
it was either seIfishness or laziness
that prevented Natchitoches from
putting before the world its won
ders and opportunities to draw
homeseekers or visitors who would
help develop Gods own country.
The Enterprise knows that of
all the assets that ma kes NatcLl-
loches distinctive and u JOY to live
IN, none is greater than Its hosts
OF bighearted, wholesoul, down
right, good people. No matter
how urgent the demands of their
duties, business Or profession,
they always turn responsive eur
to the calls of any worthy cause
and do not respond grudglngly
but go to work and get bly, results.
They stand squarely back of
municipal developments; are ener-
getic, progressive citizens, eyer
ready to give of their time. money.
energy or ability.
But the time is here now when
they must no longer lay them
selves liable to the charge of self
ishness by only opening the door
10 response to knocking, but throw
t open wide and invite entrance.

Hobbs answered in reply to the ques-
 tion. No man can estimate it's in- fluence yet. One thing that may be cerned, is that it has operated in mak- ing people give their funds to religious purposes more generously but as to its effect upon the church I have no opinion to express at the present time. I believe that the church has the great est opportunity in the worlds history right now at it's very door; the oppor- tunity particularly for missionary prop aganda is unparalleled. To repeat it again, I believe Christianity occupies the strategic place in the worlds his tory today; Christianity is the only thing that can offset bolshevism and if the church grasps the opportunity it
 will save the world; if it fails to grasp the opportunity a serious question Of it's usefulness will arise in the minds of men everywhere.
 'In coming to Birmingham to as- sume the pastorate of the First Baptist church." Dr. Hobbs said, T feel that I have come to a city with the most wonderful opportunities of any that l know of of course, I am not prophet' nor yet an exceedingly wise man, but it looks to me as if Birmingham has the chance to be the biggest city in the south at a not far distant day; and. opportunities in every other line arc just as big as tho prospects or tho city.

 tions, the observance of the Sabbath

Hh @ CHRISTIANITY, I believe, oc- ooU cupies the strategic place in
 N> the worlds history today;
 it is the only thing that can offset bolshevism and if the church fails to grasp the opportunity it will fail to save the world"
 With these thrilling, vital words, pr. James Randolph Hobbs prefaced his talk with me a few days ago about Christianity, the war. people and events
 Dr. Hobbs is the new pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, hav- ing been called here some weeks ago by the congregation of that church from Jonesboro. Ark, where he was pastor of one of the most important and influential churches in the west.
 Dr. Hobbs is a native Mississippian, and sustains gracefully the reputation of that fair state which has contributed 30 literally to statesmanship. the church, politics and society many of the most cultured and highly educated sons and daughters of the south
 Dr. Hobbs was ordained to the min htry ct Crystal Springs in 1901, so it is readily observed that he is youth ful both as to years and his ministerial activities.
 -An odd thing," Dr. Hobbs observed M speaking of his ordination, 'is that it occurred on the first Sunday in this century; moro than that. 1t was the first day of the week, the first day of the month, the first day of the year, and tho first day of tho century"
 Dr. Hobbs graduated from the Missis sippi college at Clinton in 1903, and his first charge was the First Baptist church at Mount Sterling, Ky; later he filed pastorates in Owensboro, Ky, Shelbyville, Tenn, and Jonesboro, Ark Dr. Hobbs is very pronounced in his views; quite a bit old-fashioned- should say, in a modern setting; devout, high-minded, a man of fine ideas and sterling qualities, he believes in the preaching of the gospel-the "old-time religion which is good enough for him and ought to be good enough for you and mo

and other things" pr. Hobbs said, T am an old fashioned Presbyterian on the subject of strict observance of the Sabbath. As to the civic situation, it has always been my desire and ambi- tion to be a good citizen as well as preacher; in fact, a preacher ought to be the best citizen in the town; cer- tainly he ought to be as good one as any of the others and one can't be good citizen unless one takes an active part and an active interest in civia affairs. I've always been member of civic organizations-the Chamber ot Commerce and other similar organiza- tions--in all the cities I've lived ID, and I feel very proud to say that when I lived in Shelbyville I took part in the efforts to develop the Dixie high way and during my residence there we brought the Dixie highway right 10 our door. There is no movement, py the way. in the entire world today Of more wholesome and vital value than the good roads movement; it brings country people in direct connection with the church and 1t makes neighi borS acquainted who never knew eacn other before; man now can jump into his automobile in the heart of the woods and go 10 miles to church in less time than 1t takes to tell it, while formerly horses and vehicles travelled through mud and poor roads and 1t was difficult even then to make the trip. The value of the good roads move ment can't be overestimated because 1t touches the life of peoplue socially, economically and spiritually"

to sustain and encourage their faith and hope in Christianity.
 In speaking of modernism in the church. pr. Hobbs said:
 Personally. I believe in keeping abreast of the times; while youthful ministers are being called everywhere in every section to all churches, still it is not so much question of years as temperament and spirits. l know many men of 70 who are as young in spirit and in heart as I am; of course, I know many who are old al 70; it's tust the way a man lives and the way he spends his life; if he drops back. of course, he grows old; if he keeps Up with the procession he is still young t 70; to quote our good friend Dr. Oliver Wen dall Holmes: It is better to be 70 years young than 70 years old
 Ut is my observation that people are not eager after modernism" Dr. Hobbs continued. "as they are after the gospel-the old-fashioned gospel they do not demand anything in the world but just the gospel. but they want it told in the language of today. You know there is much being said about the obscureness of theological terms, and I think there is a good deal to it; I mean by that. simply that peo- pie don't understand them. When you preach to people you've got to preach in a language they understand. You will notice the crowrs always throng to hear the preachers who preach the gospel in modern terms.
 'Hell-fire and damnation are not preached enough these days" Dr. Hobbs observed "Salving the con- science and smoothing over things is a mistake; we've got to look things straight in the face; consequently the Germans are an example of the need of it; if there isn't one there ought to be one to accommodate them.
 '"The behavior of the Germans" Dr. Hobbs continued, during the great world war was prompted by an in sidious and thorough propaganda which emascula ted religion. They ab- solutely denied the divinity of Christ and His authority; simply because His tedCnlnSS were COHlTdIy lO tHC dSt man ambition and the German method. The Kaiser had his own God and his own preachers and the people believed as they were taught. The Germans are a religious people naturally; just as religious as we are"
 'After all the thing that counts, ' said Dr. Hobbs, "is not how religious a man is, but what sort of religion he professes. Germany's religious attitude today is baffling, mainly because she is not yet repentant; I hated to see the war end when it did and the way il did; not because I wanted to see any moro bloodshed-oh, no!--nor yet an- other life lost-but the war was not carried to Germany as it should have been. Germany got none of her own medicine, none of her own brutality, none of her ow atrocities, and person. ally I do not believe an everlasting

THE GERMAN SECRET SERVICE
 IN AMERICA, 1914-1s1s
 By John Price Jones and Paul Mer-
 rick Hollister; Small, Maynard & Co..
 publishers, Boston.
 In an Introduction" to the book en- titled "The German Secret Service in
 America, 1914-191S," by Joyn Price
 Jones and Paul Merrick Hollister, John Price Jones says:
 "A nation at war wants nothing less than complete information of her ene- my It is hard for the mind to con- ceive exactly what complete informa : tion' means, for it includes every fact which may contain the lightest indica- : tion of the enemy strength, her use of that strength. and her intention.
 The nation which sets out to obtain complete information of her enemy
 must pry into every neglected corner, fish every innocent pool, and collect a mass of matter concerning the indus trial social and military organization of the enemy which when correlated, appraises her strengthened her weak ness. Nothing less than full informa- tion will satisfy the mathematical maker of war.
 Germany was always precociously fond of international statistics. She wanted-the present tense is equally applicable-full information of Ameri- ca and her allies so as to attack their vulnerable points. She got ghast!y amount of it, and she attacked. This book sets forth how secret agents of the Teutonic governments acting un- der orders have attacked our national life, both before and after our declar- ation of war; how men and women in Germanys employ on American soil, planned and executed bribery, sedition, arson the destruction of property and even murder, not to mention lesser violations of American laws; how they sought to subvert to the advantage of the central powers the aims of the gov ernment of the United States how in

Why Alcohol Is Not a Food

From the New Success.
 For many years alcohol was sup posed to be food, and for long time armieh were supplied with it, as it was strength and staying power for long strengt hand staying power for long marches and hardships; but the light of science has been turned upon this subject ,and from experiments made at the nutrition laboratory of the Car negie institute. located in Boston, it has been determined that alcohol in very moderate beverage doses Is always a consistent depressant, impairing the or ganic efficiency of the heart circula- tion and nervous system. It adds noth- ing to muscular or mental power. but gives a false sense of power, which requires constant drugging to main tain the illusion, as is the case with all narcotics.

esoNGs AND SEA VOICES"

By James Stewart Doubleday The Washington Square Bookshop, publish CTS, No. F West Eighth street, New York city.
 Of James Stewart Doubleday's volume entitled Songs and Sea Voices one of his critics has said: "1t is the call of the sea that makes ts most potent impressions on the poet. Like the swell of the ocean, there is he rise and fall of the sea mood throughout the volume" Tt is to Dr. Doubleday's credit that ne has kept clean fine spirit and a s-ery beautiful sense of rhythm for which ais great love of the sea may be in part responsible"
 One of the most appealing of the Poems is the following:
 O WHITE SHIP.
 o white ship on the sea-
 Sail outward to the Nore!
 The time will come when thou
 Shalt grace the main no more.
 The time win come when thou
 Shalt fade from waters green

factories and everything had to be made by hand, master and workman belonged to the same organization or Guild, and met in the same guild hall to discuss their differences, for modern labor unions were unknown and the feud between capital and labor was in it's infancy.
 These were stirring times, and the little apprentices, merchants children, and country boys and girls of the stories had many remarkable experiences, and all helped to do their share in bringing about the golden age of English arts and crafts. History is made fascinating by these stories of the little woodcarvers appren- tice, the goldsmiths son, the shoemaker boy, the artist, the lad with the wool pack, and all the others
 The thread of a continuous narrative runs through the stories. Their value lies in the fact that they take the reader back to the days when the industries and decorative arts were at simpler stage They ought to make children feel some thing of the beauty of rightly made,
