Campaign Sloganitis---Has it
Bit You Yet? Better Beware

CLEVELAND, Aug 21.-Have
you case of sloganitis in your
home? IT'S an odd affliction, and has
been nipping Mr.. and Mrs. General
Public haphazard.
Elections often hinge on snappy
campaign slogans which strike re-
sponsive chord in the people. Remem-
Der Mckinley and a full dinner
pail" and "He kept us out of war;"
What will the 1920 slogans be?
Campaign leaders of both parties are
said to have chosen their war cries.
But they haven't announced them as
yet.
In the meantime Chicago, Cleve-
land and New York papers have been
running slogan contests, and the
people are pouring in their prize
campaign appeals. Some of the best
for both Cox and Harding so far sub
mitted follow:
And, oh! what response! Slogan
tits has swept the nation! And is
still sweeping"
Here are just few of the Cox
and Harding slogans that have
swamped the slogan editors:
DEMOCRATIC
Elect Jim-There's pep to him!
Cox-Ahead by a league.
Sunny Jim-We'll win with himi
Wilson did his best; leave it to
Cox-He'll do the rest!
Don't delay the next war-make it
impossible-Vote for Cox!

Vote for Cox and tell the world
America is not a gutter.
Vote for Jimmy Cox and keep the
nation off the rocks.
Every time that Jimmy speaks, a
front porch down in Marion squeaks.
Woody, dust off that chair-Jimmy
Cox is coming there.

"a few weeks ago the newspapers
carried the report that an Alabama

of the good the weevil had done them

"Phe average lick and promise sort
Of a garden has little value. To be
of real value the garden must be plan

an abundance of healthful food seven

completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge in the Near

The boys had been clad in rags for
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need Of

Then the boys were organized as

They began to be careful Of their

They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc-

boy stole a purse from his American

Of the horrors of Turkish massa ores

can woman, she has come to this coun
try and entered Oberlin College.
With her came fourteen other Arme
MAN girls in charge of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwight, a Near East Relief worker,
who has been instrumental in helping
to save hundreds of thousands of their
people from death by starvation. Miss
Dwight, who is not given to exagger-
alton and has seen conditions at first
hand, says more than a million people
are facing death by starvation in Ar
menia and viii perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the slaugh-
ter of hundreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and vic
tim of the deportations, Miss Dake-
sian, an unusually pretty girl, says
there is untold suffering in Armenia
and Syria She praises the efforts of
the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many of
these people as possible. AT Ervan,
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from thousand daily to
an average of twenty. At Alexandra
pol, where the refugees from Turkish
Armenia were driven by thousands, the
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian
says. 1t is to avert these wholesale
deaths that Near East Relief is making
a nationwide appeal for funds.

To Lovers of the Bible

When we see the Red Terror
hat is gradually finding its way
INTO all the nations of earth, we
ind itrather difficult to explain
Matt. 5:5 unless we have the
correct understanding of Gods
Word. Did you ever ask your
minister to explain this passage,
or to harmonic Luke 1928 "a
and Eccl. 9:5 and 10?
Why do we find so many peo-
pie willingly ignorant concerning
many Bible truths?
Everlasting Ignorance is the
portion Of the man who refuses
to investigate the subject for
himself.
Take for instance the Doctrine
of Eternal Torment. Why do
we find intelligent Christian peo-
pie disappearing the name Of
God by believing and teaching
such an un-Scriptual doctrine?
Anyone who will take the
time to look up the word HE'LL
in Strong's or Young's concord
ance will readily see this word
simply means GRAVE, TOMB,
PIT. In other words it means
THE STATE of DEATH.
Abraham was called out from
an idolatrous people; his fathers
served other gods, yet when
death overlook him it is said he
was gathered to his people. Nc
one would argue heaven is full
of heather, or that any Of the
faithful Prophets who lived be-
fore the days of Jesus, are there.
Jesus himself settled that cues
ton for all time to come when
he said, mo man has assembled
into heaven. John 3:13.)
Then we ask, where are Abra-
ham and all the faithful Prophets
down to and including John the
Baptist? The Bible says they
are peacefully sleeping in that
great prison house, the TOMB
the Bible HE'LL. 1t says
there is no work, nor device, nor
knowledge nor wisdom there;
that everyone in this prison
house is at rest and in perfect
silence; that the dead know not
anything; and as soon as the
breath leaves the body, the
thoughts PERISH. (Eccl. 2::5;
Pisa. 6:5; Job 3:13, 10; Psa. 1864. }

taught concerning the Bible hell.
