Q. Kindly let me know who is the
author Of the words, There is a time
to fight and a time to pray" and the cir
cumstances in which the expression was
used? W. D. NJ.
A. The quotation is attributed to John
Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, who was
preacher at a church in Woodstock. Va,
when the Revolutionary War broke out.
In February, 1T77, he was made brigadier-
general under Washington. 1t was while
he was & minister that the famous Incl
dent occurred which you wish to know
about. We quote as follows regarding
this incident from the Harper's En-
cyclopedla of United States History:
"one Sunday he told his hearers that
there was a time for all things-a time
to preach and a time to highland that
then was the time to fight. Casting of
his gown. he appeared in the regimentais
Of a Virginia colonel, read his commits
sion as such. and ordered drummers TO
beat up recruits. Nearly all Of the able
bodied men OF his parish responded and
became soldiers of the Sth Virginia Regi-
ment."

and down fell her great web house and
out rolled bags and bags Of gold.
And then this little black man, who
was a servant OF the fairy queen, you
know, pulled the helmet OF Of Puss
Juniors head, and then, OF course, he
woke up ana rubbed his eyes, for at
first he di6n't know where he was or
what had happened.
But when he saw the wicked spider
lying on the ground without any head
on, for her head was as round as a
marble and had rolled down the hillside
until 1t dropped into lake. he knew
what narrow escape he had had.
Goodness mem laughed Puss, Il shall
never again make friends with a spider
In fairy lnnd.' and he got up and put
on his cap with the gold feather. and
then he asked the little black man what
he could do 10 repay him.
Nothing Sir Cat" he replied. Il am
one OF many who obey the call OF your
magic ring" and then he disappeared in
cloud Of black smoke.

came to lowly cottage where lived
a berdsman with his family. And when
puss knocked on the door a pretty red
bird, who was in n cage that hung from
this roof OF the little porch, began TO
sing:
Mother Is out in the meadow today
Watching the sheep and the lambs at
play.
And father Is up on the windy bin

FREE AUTOS FOR OFFICIALS

The state board of accounts, in its
report of May, 1919 says that the an
nuai cost of operating automobiles, for
the use of the public and county officials,
is in excess of $1,000 a year, and in this
published report they state:
1--WE are informed that this car is
used principally by the courthouse GUS
todian in making the trip from his resi-
dence east of the city, to the courthouse
daily"
And in this same report they say, ut
seems that all these machines are owned
and operated at the expense Of the coun-
ty in direct violation of the statutes,
and the cost is increasing each year.
A large part Of the expense OF operating
the highway superintendent car was
charged to the gravel road repair fund
and, owing to the laxity in itemizing
claims, it is impossible TO ascertain the
exact cost. We find claims filed and

the last story just when the wicked
spider had put the helmet she had neen
knitting over the head Of little Puss
Junior and he had fallen asleep, for 1t
was q magic knitted helmet, you see.
Well, just then up flew the Blackbird and
he saw just what was going to happen
TO Puss, for that spider would have taken
him in her big web house and eaten MIN
up, just like the garden spiders do with
the poor flies they catch in their webs
you know.
\ Well what do you think that brave
Blackbird did? He turned the magic
ring which Puss wore on his little toe
around three times, and then UP came

sword, and before that dreadful spider
