TURNING TO GOD.

England and France, as one of the results of
the war, are said to be experiencing marked and
decided revival of popular interest in religion. 1t
is probable that the same is true with respect to
all the other peoples engaged in the mighty strug-
gle. Indeed, it would be strange were it other
WISE for, paradoxcal as it may appear to the
philosopher and brazenly as it may affront logic,
the truth remains, as shown by history, that
whenever nation abandons the plowshare and
the pruning hook to take up the sword and the
gun, it counts God in the bargain and turns to
Him for inspiration, for guidance and protection.
1t seems to be that man proposes the trouble and
expects God to dispose of the enemy
1t may be argued and often is, that people
of nation, especially in Europe, have nothing to
say as to whether or not there shall be war; that
the decision rests solely with kings and ministers
The statement is scarcely fair to rulers, however,
for no nation not conscious of popular enthusiasm
and support, would venture save in the most un-
usual circumstances, to enter upon war. The peo-
ple to great extent, are partners in the business
1t is when the pinch of privation, the suffer
ing, the realization of death and disaster come,
that people approach God in humbleness of spirit,
ask His help, and, believing, know that they re-
ceive it. Great ordeals enlarge faith and give
intimacy to the relationship of man to God.
In the hard school of war, nations turn from
frivoities of thought and confront crises in which
they feel the need of strength greater than their
own. In their religion they find that which they
seek They feel more secure when they lift up
their eyes to the everlasting hills from whence
cometh help.

UNDAUNTED

The story is told of young lady at Gulfport
who made an investigation of conditions in mar
ried life before giving her gentleman friend an
answer to his proposal. On certain Sunday
night the young man asked her to become his
wife, She requested one weeks time in which to
decide. On Monday morning she appointed her
self an investigating committee and began taking
testimony from married ladies in Gulfport who
were good friends of her family.
The first lady she called upon used to be a
belle, and was the most admirable girl in the city
before her marriage which occurred six years ago.
Upon cross examination it was learned that this
lady had three children, did all her own work
including the washing and roning-and hadn't
been down town in five weeks, nor to church in
three months. She said her husband had given
her only three dollars since they were married.
an average of fifty cents per annum-and that he
had borrowed from her a ten-dollar bill which her
father had given her for Christmas present. He
bought a new overcoat with the money, while she
wore the same plush coat she had when they were
married.
The second lady called upon had been a very
successful and e-paid school teacher. Three
years ago she quit teaching to marry one of the
handsomest and best dressed men in the city.
Now all he does is to sit around the house and
smoke cigarettes, and she supports him.
The next lady visited didn't dare to say her
soul was her ON when her brute of a husband
was around the house. although she used to write
lovely essays when she was in school or the
emancipation Ct woman
The fourth lady called upon had married a
sober industrious man five years before The first
year they were happy and contented. But he
commenced drinking social glass with his friends
at the club and now he is confirmed drunkard, /
His wife sews to make living for the family. The
fifth lady called upon was divorced from her hus-
band because his tastes led him in the direction
of omen of i'll repute.
After carefully considering all. the facts she
had learned concerning married life, and sum-
ming up the evidence she had obtained, the young
lady wrote her gentleman friend as follows:
Dear john Last Sunday night you asked
me to marry you. My answer is Yes The first
Sunday in October will be our wedding day"

THE OLDEST MAN

Hyden, KY, Sept, 11.--"Uucle'
John Smell, who claims to be the Oldest
living human being, has just passed
his 133rd birthday at his home on
Greasy Greek, this (Leslie) county
While in fairly good health, Smell
seems gradually to be declining, and
this summer failed to take his GUS
tomary trip out of the state which
had been an annual custom in the past
few years. Smell says he was born in
1888, when Kentucky was q part Of
Virginia. He and his father, Samuel
Smell, gained fame over 100 years ago
as gun makers. The oldest mas says
his people came from Holland to
Pennsylvania 200 years ago and that
he is connected with the great Smell
oil family.

GOOD IDEA TO FORGET

A good memory for kindness is a beautiful
thing, but equally beautiful is poor memory for
an evil turn
Now is a good time TO lay down old grouches,
old resentments, old mental sores. Ii is an af-
front TO the Maker of all things and to our own
higher nature to carry debasing things like these
into the untried life that lies before us. Each
morning we enter upon new race; let US go into
it stripped for the running.
Let US forget.
Forget the sights. the wounds, the blows,
the bitter ingratitude that fell to US during the
past week. If one was unkind TO you, you can
not rise TO a higher plane than to stand up and
say: Il viii forget it."
In doing this you triumph over your own
baser nature and YOU rise superior to your enc
mys designs. He meant you to remember and
in remembering 10 suffer and to sink to lower
levels: that would have been his victory, but you
rob him Of IL when you cease TO bear the grudge
in mind. How can you hate him if you no longer
retain yOur resentment against him? How can
he continue 10 hate YOU if he looks into your eyes
and finds there no shadow Of his I'D treatment? In
vanquishing your own enmity you disam his
Hate must have something to feed upon If il is TO

white flower Of faith. When you have forgotten
that your enemy did. or could do a mean thing.

A WORD TO THE WISE

In few days the final notice Of the Cen
tennial and Homecoming will be mailed to
the 1900 former residents and distinguished
guests asking for certain information which
it is necessary for the Housing Committee to
have. One of the questions on this card is,
"Will you be the guest of friends? If so, who?"
In order to avoid embarrassment it is
suggested that our people lose no time in in
vting such friends as they contemplate hav-
ing as guests, SO that when our card reaches
them they can have the satisfaction of
promptly answering, Eyes, | will be the guest
of friends"
