"The Divine Art of Soul Winning"
That very useful evangelist, Geo.
Needham says, 'soul-winning is di-
vine art. The schools for mental
culture can not impart this spiritual
accomplishment; it can be learned
only in the school of the Holy Spirit
by that oldest and greatest of teach
ers-eXperience.
"No purely human philosophy ever
valued the soul Alright, nor devised
sufficient remedy for its recovery
from sin and it's renewal unto holi-
ness. Divine revelation gives the
highest conception of the souls value,
and divine wisdom alone can impart
skill in winning men from hell to
heaven. "The fruit of the righteous
is a tree of life, and he that winneth
souls is wise" In this proverb is
found a logical and vital connection
between the fruit of the righteous
and the work of soul-winning. The
righteous-those who are in Christ
as the branch is in the vine-will
necessarily bear this precious fruit.
if the Christ-like be in us it will be-
come manifest in fruit according to
it's nature.
"Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners; so also has the church
come into the world for like pur-
pose. AS the Father sent the Son, so
has the Son sent His disciples"

busy doing your part in saving sim

RAY CAHOW SAYS
HEY, LISTEN:

A parrot talks; say something.
Don't get bumped by standing still.
Keeping everlastingly at anything
may be following the lines of least
resistance.
Dignity is the frst-aid to self-de-
fense.
A thankless job is one that you
don't take any interest in.
If you have to make excuses; be
worthy Of them.
Memory cannot escape when ar
rested by conscience.
Frenzy spends itself like a bullet
and will do as much harm.
To risk ones own life for another
is saving grace.
You may temper any risk with a
measure of good sense.
Some people demand the best and
do their worst.
An "eye for an eye" is seeing in
the dark ages.

WASHlNGIoN' May 4.-Some OF
the young bloods Of Washington,
who are not blooded enough to main

perimented with substitutes. A pop

is said to have produced good results.

spiration.
The 'inside dope" on President
Wilson is that he has not been so we'll
for the last few weeks. A new troL-
BILE, not serious, developed, and he
had to cut out his auto rides. The
chief trouble is Mr.. Wilson'S unwill~
ingness to see people. 1t was with
the greatest reluctance that he con-
sented to the recent cabinet meeting;
and he still refuses to give official au-
dlence to the foreign ambassadors
who have been waiting for weeks to
present their credentials. These for
malltles would necessarily be brief.
since it is an unwritten law of diplo-
macy that such audiences can last
only eight minutes. In Mr.. Wilson's
condition they could be reduced to
two minutes.
cambridge Colby has found the
State Department one large conspir-
acy to keep him from knowing what
is happening, or doing what ne wants
to do. 1t has been running so long
with no particular head, and no pol
icy, that each bureau chief has set
himself up as an independent satrab.
The other day when news that
John Reed had been arrested in Fin
land and might be- shot one of these
department satraps told Reeds wife
that the department would not inter
est itself in Reed. The fact that he
was an American citizen did not in
terest the department. His ideas were
not in accord with the departments
ideas and he might be shot for al
they cared. Later this satrap found
that Reed is cousin of ex-Ambassa-
dor Gerard, and that Bainbridge Col
by did not feel the same way about
letting American citizens be shot or
permitting them to rot in foreign
jails. Colby says an American is en-
titled to his rights wherever he is, and
that one reason the country keeps
up an army and navy is to see that
he gets them.
Incidentally there is said to be a
housecleaning in the state depart
ment.
The Bryan Democracy in the Dis
trict of Columbia has started a cam
paign to elect delegates to the San
Francisco convention who will sup
port the following program Federal
and state legislation to reduce the
cost of living; recognition of labor's
right to collective bargaining; gov
ernment ownership and democratic
control of public utilities; restoration
of pre-war liberties, and enforcement
of the prohibition amendment.
This program is probably about
what William J. Bryan will support at
the San Francisco convention.

and was personal friend of Senator
John Sherman. He was also high up
in the Grand Lodge of Oddfellows of
that state. With his brother he en-
gagged in the mercantile business in
Winchester over twenty years ago and
continued until his death He also
was newspaper writer, having writ
ten the editorials for the Winchester
Herald until recently.
Mrs. Rose Addington, so, died at
her home four miles north of hese
Thursday forenoon, after an illness of
three months. The funeral was held

the adjacent cemetery. The husband,
one brother and two sisters survive.
Funeral services for Mrs. Clyde c.

he was discharged as assistant fire
marshal OF the state. Styner has had
considerable experience in senate af-
fairs but 1t appears that the develop
ment in regard to the fire marshal
place has put him out of the running
Some Of the legislative leaders think
that it is not unfortunate that there
will be a new man as secretary. They
believe it will be just as we'll to have
in the position a man who does not
enjoy such wide personal acquaint-
ance with men who may be around
the legislature to look after legisla-
ton. There is considerable talk now
that Zell Swain will be chosen as sec.
rotary OF the senate. Mr.. Swain has
had previous experience in cleri-
cal way in the legislature. In the
presidential primary campaign he was
he manager of the Hiram Johnson
presidential candidacy. Prior to the
election he was connected with the
Republican state committee and made
a rather extensive canvass of the
senate. The election of Swain as sec.
rotary may also mean the election Of
Katherine Smith of Indianapolis as as
sistant secretary of the senate. Swain
has been in the race for the place Of
assistant secretary.
Session Different
This session of the legislature
promises to be different from previous
regular sessions in that there is little
likelihood that there will be any stiff
contests over moral questions. The
switch apparently has been made

The Theatres
WASHINGTON

Wallace Reid, famous Paramount
star. has again scored decisively as a
screen artist, by his clever dual i'm
personation in his new picture, al.
ways Audacious," which Is going
strong at the Washington Theatre
In this picture Mr. Reid portrays two
entirely different types OF men, one
the hero and the other a scheming
and villainous crook. and he puts them
both over to perfection.
A delightful love romance adds much
to the interest Of the story. Margaret
Loomis is the principal figure in sup.
port of the star, and others in the cast
are Clarence Geldart, J. M. Dumont,
Rhea Haines, Carmen Phillips, Guy

salaries in the common schools for
example have reached a point wherc
they can be permitted to remain for
while taking into consideration that
the cost Of living is on the decline.
1t is expected that Governor-elect
McCray in his address to the legisla-
ture will go into all OF these ques-
lions of public expenditures rather
fully. Lieutenant-Governor Branch
has visited most of the institutions
with the visiting committee and the
governor-elect himself has gone to
some of them. Governor-elect Nc
Cray wishes particularly to establish u
record in keeping the state institu'
tions up to a high point of efficiency
and yet not depicting the public
treasury to too great extent.
