'lons on the basis of an army of 5O0,-
600 men, Secretary Baker said to-
day in announcing that he expected to
appear before the House Military Af-
falrs Committee very soon. Mr.. Baker
asserted, however, that the War De-
partment's request for funds for
maintenance Of a large military estab-
hshmcnt was based on the theory that
the future needs of the government
VIII be determined at later time.
Mr. Bakers announcement said:
We are going to send to the House
committees the estimates we sent I'M
as the basis of the bills which were
considered and did not pass last wear
that is, 100000 men for the army.
am very anxious to have it understood
that this is not expected to prejudice
the consideration which the Congress
Will give to the general question of
permanent military establishment.
wv nat we are asking is appropria
tlon-for 1920, and we are asking it on
the basis of an army of 100000 men.
on the theory that we cannot even
yet tell what the military necessities
OF the country will be, and that Con-
gress Will have at later time to deal
with the question Of permanent mil
itary policy"
In admitting that substantial ap-
preparation for the national guard will
be sought in the new estimates, Secre-
tary Baker reiterated that the "War
Department is in perfect sympathy
with the rebuilding of the National
Guard on the basis of the Hay Cham
berlain bill or any other improved leg
ls!atlon Congress may devise on that
subject" Mr.. Baker likewise said the

early life need hinder you, none of
them must be allowed TO hinder
you, from rising in the full strength
OF your manhood and womanhood
and playing the part Of a true
leader Of men.
You have enjoyed. through the
goodness Of Providence. a period Of
leisure for study and reflection, and
we send you forth with this pre-
cept among others, that you should
lead thoughtful and worshipful
lives. Resort to the mountain tops;
seek guidance in prayer; get your
prophetic message from the burn
ing bush where you meet your God.
There is such an intimacy of the
human soul with its maker. Make
that experience yours.
Undertake all the duties, public
and private. TO which God calls you,
without vanity and without fear.
Go into them not as self seeker,
but as a messenger Of Righteous
ness.
Do not shrink from tasks which
are to human power impossible.
You will see very little brought to
pass. If you see only what your own
strength alone could accomplish.
We do not think 'of living in these
days without availing ourselves Of
the force Of steam and dynamite.
Do not be content 10 live without
availing yourself Of the force OF
prayer and faith.
DO not be abashed at the unbelief.
or the ingratitude Of your neigh b
bGrs. Understand that il is your
mission to dispel that unbelief. and
to overcome that ingratitude.
And finally let it be your glory to
bring others into a promised land
which you may not yourself enter.
You are rewarded in their happi-
ness. And you have a happiness
far above theirs in being in a larger
sense laborer together with God.

ADDRESS TO RELIGIOUS

The address to the Religious So

livcrcd sunday evening by the Rev
DR. Mcdowell, pastor of the Secon
Presbyterian church, of Danville.
I'm his opening remarks he stated
that The two alternatives before the

Utopia or He'll. The people are now

/ the character Of the people Alright.
Unrest among the masses. es-
pecially in European countries, is
growing, and threatens to engulf
the world in the chaos of anarchy
and lawlessness unless righteous
pr inciples Of government are es-
tablished.
He expressed his belief that de-
mocracy is given Divine sanction in
scripture. and cited the case Of God
through Moses demanding of Phar-
aoh that he let MY people go free
to serve Me-" He also stated that
Jesus was the first real Democrat
o. whom we have record. When
selecting His Cabinet He chose men
from the lower ranks of society.
with not one aristocrat among
them. Jesus was crucified because
He refused to set up an autocratic
rule in Jerusalem. But democracy
national and observation-disclosures
be directed and controlled by the
old time Gospel which Christ taught,
Who Came not to be ministered
unto but TO minister, and TO give
His life as a ransom for many" In
other words, it is love rather than
justice that the world needs TO heal
It's wounds.
He urged the Christian societies
to do all in their power TO influ-
ence society, education, business.
and politics along gospel lines, and
thus save the world from He'll.
In referring to the great power
possessed by the heather world, he
urged his hearers to enlist for
work in the mission field. and to
do their part in Christianizing the
heather. What would it mean?"
he asked. IF China with her mil
lions should become organized for
war instead of peaceful pursuits
The world must grow rapidly
better. or it will grow rapidly
worse. Upon the young people Of
today rests a large responsibility
to turn the tide for the right.
His address was Illuminated by
several apt and interesting illus
trations. and was listened to with
wrapt attention throughout.
