Friend, Mrs. H. ]. Black and Mrs w.
H. H. Friend. Two of her children
are dead: Mrs. Ada Whitstone and
George NJ. Friend. There are thir-
teen grandchildren and two great
grandchildren, and also an affection
ate and aged brother, Mr.. Isaiah
Friend.
Mrs. Annie E. Friend was most
lovingly and tenderly cared for at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. j. Black
up to the time of her death.
In the death of Mrs. Friend the
church has lost one of its most faith
full and devoted members, but our loss
is her gain, as she is now free from
the trials and sufferings of this life.
May God grant that our last days
may be as hers, and that we may all
be as well prepared for heaven as
was true of this faithful Christian
woman, for ''blesed are the dead who
die in the Lord"

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK,

The sad intelligence reached US last
Sunday evening that Mrs. Paul L.
Flanagan, the wife of one of our form
er pastors. had died in a CIarksburg
hospital from an attack of the influenza
which turned to pneumonia. She had
been waiting for sometime to visit her
parents as the influenza had been rag

thinking it had about disappeared went
home but soon took the malady and
died. Rev. Flanagan has had quite an
affection of the throat for sometime.
Mr.. Patrick Hamill who spent the
winter with US here, has moved near

REASONS GIVEN FOR LEAGUE
ATTACK, -.

Reasons for the opposition in the Sem
ate to the covenant of such league of
na-ians as advocated by President Will
son may. as the result of the debate
which began before adjournment and
has since continued on the stump
throughout the country, be summed up
as follows:
Because. it yields American soyer-
eighty to an executive council in which
it would be outvoted by nations whose
interests might be dramatically differ
eat.
Because it is clever plan, admitted
by the President at the White House
dinner to have been conceived by Eng
land. for maintaining the status quo
established at Versailles.
Because it is incompatible with the
competitive struggle of history and ma
ture which necessitstes change and de-
velopment rather than fixity of condi-
tion.
Because it upholds kings and emper-
o:s and does not grant self. determine
ton and liberty to Ireland, India, Korea
or any other dependency
Because it makes the United States,
already overburdened with taxation,
the slmoner of the world and gives it
tasks in Europe and Africa which would
lead to conflict with theIalms of other
powers.
Because it makes complete our en-
tanglement in foreign politics without
giving the world more liberty or COM
pensating US for loss of full nationality
and individuality.
Because it invalidates the Monroe
doctrine, which presupposes our non-
interference in Europe just as we insist
that Europe shall not interfere 10 this
hemisphere.
Because it prevents the armed protec-
ton of our rights and interests in turbu-
lent Mexico in the event of serious
menace to our citizens there.
Because it would wear down the Geo.
nomic barriers erected by America to
protect its standards of labor and of
living.
Because, as admitted by the Presi-
dent at the dinner to the Foreign At
fairs Committees, it does not actually
prevent future wars.
Because it is in effect continuation
in perpetuity of the present alliance of
the nations which fought against the
Central Powers and binds US in the
future to act together to control the
world. something contrary to the warn
ing of Washington and repugnant to the
spirit of our institutions of century.
Because 1t restraints the United States
in providing an army and navy suffi-
cient for it's future protection.
