Coming Home.
(The Baptist Home.)


Our son, Russell, private in the
Marine Corps, who was killed in ac'
tion at Blanc Mont Ridge, was buried
first on the battle field, then in a
nearby village cemetery at st.
Etienne, then in the great American
cemetery at Romagne. Torn be.
tween conflicting emotions as to
whether or not we should have his
body sent to the homeland, we final ly
decided not to request the govern
ment to have his body transported to
America. AS the months have pass
ed into years we have grown accus-
toned to the thought that the soil OF
France was to be his final resting
place. 1t may easily be imagined
what a shock it was to us when a few
days ago we received official notice
that the body had been disinterred
and prepared for Shipment to US, the
communication alleging that the same
was in accordance with our request.
Mrs. Riggs at once wrote to Col. Lay,
from whom the communication had
come, and to Gen. LeJune, stating
that we had made no such request,
and asking that the body be reinterred
in France if arrangements for ship
ping had not gone too far. A per-
sonal letter from each o. these gentle
men expressed the opinion that it
was too late to comply with this re-
quest, and advised that we let ar
rangements go forward for burial at
horne. Of course, there are many
reasons why we prefer to have the
body brought home and buried here,
but all things considered, had thought
best not to-have it removed, since it
was buried in the great American
cemetery in France where twenty
five thousand American soldiers were
buried. But many thousands of these
have already been transferred to this
country. Now that the body is to
come to US, we are sure that in the
years ahead, we shall prefer that it be
SO. And thus after all, what at first
seemed to us blunder on somebody's
part, is going to work out for our
good. Indeed. GAN things work to-
getber for good to them that love
God" There is no bitterness in our
heart, only sadness, when we think
how different the homecoming might
have been.

Charles Harris Conf esses.
(Potosi Journal.l

(Potosi Journal.l
A big piece of news broke here last
Wednesday when Charlie Harris, who
was convicted in the circuit court in
Potosi on August 31st of being par
ticipant in the robbery of the Bank of
Caledonia at Caledonia, this county,
on August 9TH, 1920, and sentenced to
thirty years in the penitentiary, is
sued a sworn statement confessing
himself as one of the robbers and i'm
plicating Russell Carr and his wife,
Nellie Carr, formerly of Caledonia but
lately living in st. Louis, as being the
planners of the robbery, and one
Emmett Hurry of Elvins, sSt. Fran
co.'s county, as the man who entered
the bank with him to rob it. On this
information the authorities in st.
Louis were notified to arrest the Carrs.
They are being held there awaiting
the time for their preliminary hear
ing, which will be held in Potosi with
in few days.
The confession was made by Harris
on the eve of his departure for the
penitentiary, where he was taken
Wednesday by Sheriff Richeson.
Harris says he never got a cent ot
the money, that after leaving the bank
he and Hurry hid the sack containing
the $4,000 they had obtained in the
robbery under a log in the woods
near Caledonia. He claims that in the
latter part of August in 1920, after hi
had been arrested and released from
Jail on bond, he and Russell Carr wen
to the scene where the money hat
been hidden, but could not find the lol
under which the sack had been plac
ed. Two or three days latter, HI
says, Carr came to him and told hin
he had found the log but all th
money he had located was q nickel
Harris intimates that he was doubl
crossed by one or both Of his pals.
Harris asserts in his statement tina
Russell Carr and his wife planned th
whole affair and that they went to 81
Francois county and induced him an
Hurry to carry it out, taking them il
their (the Carr's) automobile to Gale
4 donia and to the latter's home on th
i evening before the robbery.

ly local, every-man lives in st. Fran.

The visitors played five men from st
Louis who are rated as semi-profes-
sional players and while it may be
that Desloge was not in their class
1t also is fact that nota single mar
on the Desloge team was "stuck' or
himself as player, to the extent oi
asking the catcher to "tip him OFF, tc
a straight ball from the pitchers box
so that he might get hit.
AS to Murphy's pitching, we have
no apology to offer. He pitched the
same ball that he pitched on the tour
thru southeast Missouri when both
Messrs. McCabe and Edgar played on
the same team and were "tickled" to
death to get him to use it. The ball
permissible in amateur baseball and
in some professional leagues. We
restricted their pitcher in no way and
he was at liberty to use anything he
had; if he had nothing, it was no fault
OF ours.
When it comes to attendance, that
Is matter over which we have no
control. We guaranteed the visitors
their expenses and played on a 6O-4O
basis. If the forty per cent end of
receipts did not pay their expenses it
was due to the fact that their "star9"
players threw too many of our base
balls over the fence, the cost of which
was deducted from their share of the
receipts. AS far as patronage is con-
cerned the National Park will enjoy
more patronage at any game than
will Fletcher's Field at Ironton.
When Pelty's Nationals played there
the grand stand was not one third full
and it is of limited capacity, and we
might further add that a nice bunch
of the grand stand occupants were
from the lead belt.
When it comes to clean deal we
wish to submit the following: The
Arcadia Manager requested the Des-
loge manager to get a game between
Arcadia and Fredericktown on the
local diamond, to which the local
management agreed after consider
able reluctance. We arranged the
game and the same was announced at
Mondays game; when Arcadia were
told of the confirmation of arrange
ments ty Fredericktown, they in
kformed us that they had already book.
ed another game. or course, aside
rom the inconvenience and tele,
phone expense at their instance, be.
cause of their failure to fulfill theil
agreement, it made no material diff
ference.

Jesus was divine, in tho truest and
best sense of the word. He was
noble, He was great, He was true.
He loved his fellow men. He loved
liberty and hated oppression. He
washed the dirty feet of ais followers,
not even peglecting those Of Judas
Iscariot, whom heknew to be traitor.
He loved children and wept over the
sorrows of others, while not even the
cross could wiring tears from his eyes.
In death He remembered his mother,
and prayed for his murderers and
those who taunted and scorned Him.
If these are not evidences of divinity
there are none.

who would trade the sermon on the

is nearer being divine as he lives
nearer the high ideal of Jesus Of
Nazareth. The teachings of Jesus are
of divine origin; and whether He was
the Son of God in the commonly ac-

sense that all men are the sons oi

His teachings and His example oi

of His character are great enough to

An Acknowledged Failure.
tst. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

tSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
Recent news from the White House
explains to Mr.. Harding the Repub-
lican platform, as regards an "associa-
tion of nations" to take the place of
the League of Nations, doesn't mean
anything. The President has let it be
known through back door an
nouncemept that there will be no at
tempt to organize an association OF
nations, which, at campaign time,
was held out as dummy to pacify
Republicans who were desirous that
international organization for peace
should not be abandoned.
The possibility of enactment of the
Harding international program as
represented in the campaign was ever
matter for profound skepticism on
the part of those who were not pos
sessed of the partisan virus OF the
day. They could not see Mr.. Hard
ing's way through to the organization
of rival association of nations which
in theory could cover nothing but the
same ground already covered by the
Versailles League. While conscious
of the impracticability, not to say
absurdity, of such'a proposition, still
they believed Mr.. Harding meant
what he said. They desired only to
be shown how such thing could be
done.
Now it appears, from authoritative
information which the President has
good reason for not wishing to put in
the form OF a direct announcement
that Mr.. Harding himself realizes il
cannot be done. But inetaad of ad-
mitting a failure, he takes refuge be.
hind a Delphian Interpretation of the
platform on which he was elected.
It is true that the Republican plat.
form plank covering the Association
of nations" is composed OF a string Of
| platitudes about international Justice
and peace, to which any conyenien
Interpretation could be given. Never
theless, it was represented in the can.
paign that there would be definite
organization Of nations to replace the
league.
Some weeks ago Hamilton Holt,
pro-League Republican, addressed |
public inquiry to the President asking
him what was being done to redeem
his campaign pledge Of substitut'
for the League of Nations. No repl,
was made. Now failure OF the pro
| ject has been acknowledged covertl,

Where Might is Right.
F. p. HILBURN.

p,H1LBuRN. Sta'e
I found little shell one day,
Hidden beneath the soil,
A mother had hidden that shell away,
She thought it well worth while.
To save that tiny little life,
She placed it beneath the sod,
Away from the worlds turmoil and
strife,
Trusting it there to God.
So when the sun had warmed the
earth,
That little life took form.
A little reptile there found birth,
Within earth's bosom warm.
Gently the little shell broke,
There head and pair of eyes,
And little dormant brain awoke.
Oh, Sod, thou art wondrous wise!
Planting primal instinct there,
! That LITTLE life to save,
By giving the reptile courage rare,
The dangers of life to brave.
But the little reptile in it's shell,
Knew no law but might.
But that it knew and knew full well,
Was shown by its gallant fight.
For it fought the sticks and straws
I placed upon it's nose,
And bit them with it's little jaws,
And my admiration rose.
But it fought alone in self defense,
In defense of its right to live.
And that is the right in the highest
sense
That God alone can give.
But there is a wondrous, higher law,
A law that is far above
The reptile world with it's fang and
claw,
And that is the law of love.

Mans Eternal Vanity.

Under glaring red headlines, the
Denver Post of yesterday. Sunday,
August IA, prints the statement OF the
Reverend Hastings Rasdall, that
, 'Christ was not divine-and not the
son of God" Some writer number
of years ago said, "Man created God
in his own image" All mankind has
worsbiped power. Whether through
love, or fear, or admiration, the wor-
ship has been none the less real. And
we worship power still. Jesus pro-
claimed a God of love and power.
That all men were sons of God and
therefore brethren. The doctrine of
future life was in existence at the
time of His birth, and BE did not try
to alter that belief, except to tell how
the future life might be attained.
Most people believe in a supreme
power. Its manifestations are SO
varied, and numerous, as almost to
preclude the possibility of doubt.
And that power, for want of a better
name, we call God. But just why
should man arrogate to himself Gods
image, is not quite SO clear. ! think,
however, the writer of the Book OF
Genesis meant the physical image,
but have heard from the pulpit, that
he meant the spiritual image Of God.
Both of these claims are open to
doubt, and say this with all due re-
spect to the opinions of others but if
Man approaches the image of God, it
must be intellectually, and even that
Is open to very grave doubts. There
have been many prodigies who show
ed powers beyond the ken of the
ordinary mortal. Zera Coulburn was
a mathmedical prodigy, and it is re-
corded of him that he could give the
factors of any number, however great,
and also tell prime number almost
instantly, and this when he was only
a child in tender years. Once he was
asked to tell the number of minutes
in forty years, which he did and then
almost instantly told the number OF
seconds. Blind Tom was musical
prodigy, and lately we have had
chess, and other prodigies. In the
early history of mankind there were
switches and witch craft,n jnst as
there are clarivoyant and claraudient,
and spiritualistic prodigies to day.
Might not Christ haye combined
all these in His great personality?
And if he did/who could deny His
divinity? I believe that all men have
the divine spark, but / must admit
that it is so dnfinitesimal in someIthat
lightning bug would compare with
it like an electric headlight compares
with the old tallow dip. While man
has his head in the, clouds, 80 to
speak, he also grovels in the dirt,
emnlating the beasts Of the field.
He boasts OF conquering the ele-
ments and recently he has learned to
fly, and yet he hasn't surpassed the
humble little ant that puts on wings
when it wishes to migrate, and takes
them off at the end ofits journey.
