Miss Mary Russell
Spoke Here Sunday

Miss Mary Russell, of Jackson,
Miss, national lecturer of the w.
&c. T. IT,, delivered two addresses in
Columbus last Sunday The first ad
dress was at the Baptist Church at
the II o'clock service, and the second
address was at the evening service
of the First Methodist Church
Miss Russell is a direct and enter
tanning speaker, as well as one who
brings a message of hope and en-
couragfement to friends of prohibi-
tion. She declared that the work that
was started fifty years ago by the w.
c. T. U. had borne fruit in the amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquor. The Anti-SaloOn Lea
que and other organizations that la
bored for the destruction of the liquor
traffic, she declared, were offshots
from and outgrowths of the original
enemy of the saloon, the w. c. T. u,
that had for its motto, "For God and
Home and Native Land"
Miss Russell declared that while
King Alcohol had been outlawed there
was yet a great deal Of work to be
done by the friends of decency, law
and order. "We have the prohibition
law" she said, 'now we must con-
centrate the Christian conscience up
on its enforcement" She spoke of
the work of the w. C. T. U. in the
war, and of the help rendered the
soldiers by the white ribbon ambu-
lances, and closed her address with
an appeal to all church workers for
cooperation and prayers in driving
the demon of intemperance from the
face of the earth.
Miss Russell stuck to her text"
Her remarks were confined to the his
tory, accomplishments and aims of
the W. c. T. U. All who heard her
we're more than pleased with the mes
sages she brought to Columbus.

CHARMS AND CAPTIVATES
STUDENTS OF A. & M.
COLLEGE
WINS ALL HEARTS
Urges Upon Young Men The
Need And Importance Of
Carrying Gospel Message
To All People.

Agricultural College, Miss, Nov. Il
The Mississippi A. and NJ. campus
community enjoyed the privilege on
Sunday and Monday of having il
their midst one Of the most distingu
ished and consecrated clergymen OF
the Presbyterian Church, in the per
son of Rev. J. A. Vandermeulin, ID
D., head of the Louisville Theological
Seminary. Dr.. Vandermeulin is in
Mississippi in connection with the
great campaign now in progress for
the purpose of placing before the peo-
pie, and especially the young man
hood of the Southern States, the urg-
ent call of the work for ministerial
recruits. He is earnest, sincere and
logical in the presentation of his sub
ject, and his very sincerely and per-
suasive logic, threaded and embellish-
ed with just the right touch Of humor,
holds the interest and attention of his
hearers. young and old.
On Sunday evening Dir. Wander
meulin spoke to an overflow audience,
of campus residents and students
gathered in the Y. NJ. C. A chapel
the exercises being conducted by Ben
f. Rogers, secretary of the organi-
zation. His analysis of the earnest
call of the world for earnest, conse-
Grated and efficient leaders and mis-
sionary workers is clear and inspira-
tional. While he is primarily leader
in the Presbyterian Church, coming
from a Dutch Reformed family and
environment, he presents his call on
broad and non-sectarian lines, point
ing out the need of added material
in each branch or realm of religious
belief and persuasion to carry the
gospel message far and wide as well
as at home.
Again at the regular chapel hour
on Monday DR.. Vandermeulin was the
chief speaker to the usual large as
sembly of khaki clad students, who
seemed visibly impressed with the sim
cerity and urge of his message, for a
real purposeful and higher service to
humanity. The speaker was present
ed to the assembly by Rev. w. H. Hill
Presbyterian pastor, and based his re-
marks on the eleventh chapter of
Isaiah, which he read clearly and inn
prcssively. What the world needs is
not battleships, high-power guns and
costly armament to insure universa
peace and understanding, but servers, /
teachers and helpers in all lines for
humanity's sake.
He urged this community in i'm
pressive terms to stand behind its
own representative in the far eastern
field, Orrin r. Magill, who has just .
sailed for China.

Washington. Nov BIN the win
ter of 1912 eight men of differen
nationalities sat about table in al
obscure hunting lodge in Europe. Be
fore each man was a pen, ink and {
writing pad, and as they discussed
they made notes on the pad. They
had been called by one Of the great
autocrats of the world and they were
playing the old game of hidden
diplomacy. Their counters were human
lives and the prizes were small ma
tions. In the center Of the table lay
map of Europe.
Spies guarded the forest without,
and a spy, unsuspeeted, was among
them in the room. He brought in the
wood for the fire. But he got nothing
for his risk, for when the meeting
was over each man tore his memor-
anda into small bits, and himself car
riod them to The fireplace and burned
them,
Such has been much of the worlds
diplomacy In the past. The noun
tains of Canada, the wild places Of
South America, China, Africa, all
have seen these small and futivc
meetings, and out of not one Of them
has come peace, but war. For peace
is open and war is bred in darkness.
But to offset them have been peace
movements Of various sorts. In the
10th and llth centuries the church
established the truce Of God, which
forbade fighting between Saturday
night and Monday at noon. That 1t

as effectively as more pretentious
