A Word FOm Him Who Knows.

The above il a positive declara-
tion of the Lord Jesus Christ just
before he suffered death on the cross.
He had just foretold the coming dis
tress of nations that would precede
the final end of a wicked world.
There would be great tribulAtions,
cruel aod bloody wars. famine and
pestilence. Nations would rise
against nations, kingdom against
kingdom. The world would become
one universal sea of unrest, blood
shed aud trouble; trouble such as
never has been and meyer will be
again.

to it that would fill up the measure.
During the last six years more than
twenty millions of men have per-
ished on fields of battle or from
wounds or diseases contracted by
exposure in the armies that have
been engaged in the slaughter of
mankind. At this writing it is said
that more than twenty wars are rag
ing in Asia and Europe. Many of
the nations engaged are exhausted.
and all of them are very nearly
bankrupted in men and the means
of living Some of them are ap-
pealing piteously to our own coun-

fight on and continue to deluge the
world in blood.
Poland, liberated from the tyran-
ny of Austria. Germany and Russia,
that had been imposing on her for
more than a century. undertook
to conquer territory that Gather
inc of Russia had taken from her
more than a hundred years ago,
hoping to succeed because of the
demoralized condition of Russia.
The fact that their country had been
assailed by a people whose ambi-
tion threatened them with disinte-
grafton and destruction as nation,
caused them to throw down their
own troubles and unite for the pur-
pose of driving back the invaders of
territory which they. in self defense,
felt bound to protect. The Poles
were at first, partially successful,
but the Russians soon organized
their forces and began an offensive
that will end God only knows where.
AT this writing the Russian Onslaught
is very near Warsaw, the capital OF
Poland. and one of the oldest and
largest cities in Europe The Brit
ish government has requested the
Soviet or Russian government, to
halt its armies. proclaim an armis-
tice and make peace. The reply is,
they could not halt the army if
they wanted to. They haye told
the troops that Warsaw would be
taken and turned oyer to them for
loot. Unless the Russians are halt

taken up to an enraged. merciless

GET vACCINATED

There are a number OF cases OF
smallpox in the vicinity OF Berea,
and IL is surprising that we find
people on every hand who have not
been vaccinated. Why this should
be is hard 30 say. Vaccination Is
one Of the greatest blessings that
has ever come TO mankind. Before
the days OF vaccination everybody
had 10 have smallpox and great
numbers died Of Il. Every man en-
tering the army must be vaccinated.
The laws Of Kentucky require every
pupil and teacher in our public
schools 10 be vaccinated. You have
never seen anyone who was sue
ccssfully vaccinated who afterward
contracted smallpox. You have
probably never seen anyone
who has been seriously injured by
vaccination. II Is OF course posi-
bic 10 become infected in a vacci-
nation wound as IL Is in any wound,
but in the many thousand that we
have vaccinated here among the
students in the last fifteen years we
have never had serious infection,
and in all my experience I have
never seen a serious case either in
my own practice or in the practice
OF any OF my colleagues.
You are liable TO run into small
pox any time and anywhere here In
kentucky and the only sensible
thing 10 do Is to go TO your family
physician and he vaccinated. You
may have a sore arm for few days,
but II you could see q case OF real
smallpox you would think vac
cination sore was like a flea bite in
c, mparison.

Because, hundr eds OF thousands

Because Scouting reveals the way
quickens the pace and illuminates
the path that leads 10 the truest and
noblest Americanization OF Ameri-

Because the chosen playground
OF Boy Scouts is the Great Unde-
filed out-of-doors amidst the ever

Because Motto. Oath, Law and

Because Scouting helps the boys
TO know, revere and commune with
Nature, even as the barefoot boy"
drank OF the nectar of life;
Because Scouting challenges body
and soul-warping child labor, routs
misunderstanding idleness, and fills
the self-directed hours OF boyhood
with life, liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness;
Because Scouting teaches that
kindness is strength, knows no fear
and helps others at all times, and
That dumb animals claim the fell
lUwship Of all true scouts;
Because Scouting whispers TO boys
10 tackle every job with the tools
Of cheerfulness, patience, courtesy,
obedience and loyalty, and mastery
will be theirs because they are pre-

Because Scouting is a plan of ed
ucation that bridges the gap between
knowing and doing, brings forward
the timid and humbles the bully,
makes the weak strong and the
strong stronger, and crowns physical
courage with moral valor; -'
Because Scouting is a mighty but
tress TO home and school, and il
kindles fire in the breasts OF boys
that drives them forward, crusaders
in the moral and spiritual world,
even as the pioneer scouts blazed
their trails and conquered the earth:
Because Scouting beckons and
calls u patriotic men, TO love, lead
and serve the sons Of America yet
