The Fulfillment of along

DECLARING PALESTINE JEW

WILSON PROMISED THAT JEW
ISH PALESTINE WOULD NEVER
GO BACK TO TURKISH HANDS

The action of the San Reno Confer
awaited hope. Ever since the Bal.
four Declara ton of NovcIT,er 2nd.
1917, the question of Jewish life has
been when would the British Gov
crnment be enabled to translate the
Balfour Declaration into the terms of
life? The San Reno decision is the
answer to that quetion. 1t had been
thought that the Mandate over the
Jewish Homeland of Palestine would
he conferred by the League of Ma
tions. Pending action on the part OF
the League of Nations, the Supreme
Council turns to Great Britain and
enables Great Britain to fulfill its
premise to the Jewish people.
1t must not he imagined that this
is the end of Zionist striving and of
Zionist effort No nation nor all the
nations together can make n gift OF
Palestine to the Jewish People nor are
Palestine by way of gift.

METHODIST REVIVAL

Wednesday was good day in
the revival being conducted at
the Methodist church. Large
congregations were present at the
services both afternoon and eve
lining.
Several gave their names for
membership to the churches and
some found peace at the altar of
prayer.
The theme last night was the
healing of Naaman from the
familiar text "Wash and be
Clean" The main point Of the
sermon Was~focused on the fact
that sin brings ruin, that the sin
ner must humble himself if he
would hope for pardon.
Naaman, the Syrian captain,
had planned how he was to be
healed but he had to give up his
way and submit to Gods way.
1t was huniliating but humility
is an essential element to those
who would come to God. With
out humility there can be no sal
vation.
The preacher used many illus
trations and through inside lights
he dwelt especially on secret sin,
things hidden away in the heart
and life which are like cancers
eating into the soul. Sin is All
awful leprosy, it destroys. The
leper is hopeless. No doctor,
medicine or human help can de-
stroy this disease. 1t eats up ali
happiness, all hope, finally it
|paralyses and destroys the power
to repent, ts pray, to believe.
Unpardoned sin at last turns
into the torment OF hell. Unpar-
don sin lasts forever and there
fore torments forever. There is
no promise or hope for those who
cover their sins and hold on to
them. Mercy can only be found in
repentance. Thank God Jesus
Christ has said "Whosoever
cometh unto me | will in no wise
cast out Though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as
SNOW; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool. "
Oh the tragedy that awaits the
human soul, that stubbornly holds
on to sin. Now is the day af sal
vation, now is the accepted time,
and God is ready to forgive those
who repent and call upon Him
but there is no hope or help for
the impenitent.
This afternoon DR.. Morrison
will preach on the 'World War
in Prophecy and this evening
his theme will be the Second
Coming of Christ"
Arrangements are being made
for a great children's meeting
Saturday afternoon at three
O'Clock.

(By Associated Press)

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. rs
Composed entirely of former SER
vice men, the West Virginia con-
stabulary, after six. months of
preparation and training, has
taken the field to enforce the law.
Although recruited to only one
half of its maximum strength, the
men on duty are fully .equipped
and according to their officers are
ready for any emergency. =
Unde the command of Colonel
Jackson Arnold, the men have
been organized into provisional
companies and assigned to Is
.subpatrol stations These cover
all truck-line railroads in the
state, for the purpose of facilitat-
ing mobilization Should it become
necessary to move the entire
force to some point in hurry.
AT each sub-statioh from three to
five men will be on duty. All
will be mounted on horses except
the patrols at Wellsburg and
Martinsburg, who will be equip
ped with motorcycles.
The service already attracted
natives of % of the S. counties
in West Virginia. They are pick
led men, whose intelligence, cour-

LITTLE DANGER OF
FLU EPIDEMIC HERE
County Health Officer Believes
Almost Everyone Is immun;zed
Against Attack

County Health Officer J. G.
Bosley does not believe that
there much danger of a re-
currence of "a flu epidemic in
Richmond and Madison county
And he is not advising anyone to
take the flu serum unless he or
she did not take it last year when
the epidemic was prevalent. He
says that those who had the flu
and very few did not-have GER
tainly been immunized for more
than year.
There have been few cases in
this county which had the flu in
dications but not many and while
many bad colds have been report
ed and some little diphtheria,
there have been. no real indica-
tions of a return of the malady
which had SO many in bed little
Eover year ago.
The State Boad of Health is
taking no chances on conditions
elsewhere in the state and is
sending out a general warning:
eff you have a cold, stay at
home. Keep way from place
where there are crowds"
Such precautions, DR.. J. N.
Mccormack says is absolutely es-
sential if Kentucky is to prevent
a recurrence of the "flu" cpl
demic.
He pointed out that within "a
hours, Hazard, the county seat
of Perry county, and Bardstown,
county seat of Nelson, each re-
ported 40 cases of influenza.
Enough vaccine to inoculate
every resident in these counties
was sent out by the Health Board
offices. DIR. Mccormack, who is
in charge of the State Health Of
fees at Louisville in the absence
of his son, DR.. Arthur T. Nc
Cormack, who is in Frankfort

DR.. Mccormack said while
there is no immediate prospect
of enforcing a statewide closing
order at this time, everything is
in readiness for making an i'm
mediate ban effective if circum-
stances warrant drastic action.
Scores of cases of influenza have
developed during the last few
days at Camp Zachary Taylor.
The malady is mild in form ac-
Icording to camp officiels.

TRAGIC ACCIDENT
VICTIM BURIED HERE

The remains of Mrs. J. w. Hill
ton were brought back to her old
home Wednesday, and in the
presence of many friends and
loved ones, were tenderly laid to
rest in Richmond cemetery. The
Paris Citizen tells of the tragic
untimely death of this former
Madison girl as follows:
Mrs. J. w. Hilton died Monday
evening about 7 o'clock, at the
Massie Memorial Hospital, as the
result of a fall sustained about
5 80 the same afternoon, at her
home on South Main street.
The unfortunate woman fell
down a flight of steps leading to
the cellar, resulting in fractured
skull at the base of the -bfain.
She was. .emoved to the hospital
where every effort.was made to
alleviate her. sufferings and to
save her life, but all in vain, and
the useful, happy life ended about
I o'clock.
Mrs. Hilton was a devoted wife
and mother and had many friends
who deeply sympathize with the
husband and young sons in their
bereavement.
The funeral was held at the
residence with services conducted
by Rev. w. E. Ellis, pastor OF
the Christian church, of which
Mrs. Hilton was a faithful mem
ber.
