THE revolutionary government
L Of Greece has tried, convicted
and executed three former pre-
miers, two former cabinet officers
and a general for conspiring to
commit high treason, in connec-
ton with the Greek debacle in
Asia Minor. Great Britain pro-
tested against the executions and
has broken off diplomatic rela-
tions with Greece. Do you think
this is justified, or do you believe
the affair is no business OF Brit
aims any more than was the ex-
ecution Of Erskine ChiIders by
the Irish Free State?

by the Turks, and six of them were
condemned to death. These were for

through Minister F. o. Lindley, was
quick to protest against the carrying
out of the death sentences, but the

hours the six were lined up and shot.
Minister Lindley at once notified the

had broken off relations with it and he

duty to pursue this course was not re-

guess is that they were glad to find
this opportunity to sever relation

little but abuse and ridicule. Now they

ALEXANDRIA THE RENO OF
VIRGINIA.

Astonishing revelations have been
brought out by bills offered in the
Legislature, on the matter Of divorce
in the state. 1t was shown that the
divorce evil is growing rapidly. In
1919, says the report, Alexandria
staid, sturdy, sleepy old Alexandria,
had one divorce to every 1.56 mar
riages, which it is stated, is JUS,
about the same ratio as Nevada. The
average in the United States is high
er than in japan, said to be the larg-
est country. pro rata, in the world.
Right here in Virginia ana Ill
Tazewell county, this divorce evil is
rampant and becoming more so.
What is the remedy? Is there rem.
edy? 1t is claimed that in Alexan-
dria the judges and divorce lawyers
are not without censure and blame.
Divorces are too easily obtained
there and perhaps in other courts as
well. 1t seems to be taken for grant
ed that an application for divorce
should be granted, and generally Is
put often on the flimsicst evidence
If the granting of divorces were
made more difficult there would be
fewer applications and smaller
number granted. The laws should be
amended, and remarriage forbidden
on the part of either party tor
longer period, and not even then GA
cept upon scriptural grounds.
The divorce evil is confined to n.
particular class or station in life. IL
is noticeable however, that there are
few divorces comparatively among
the colored people. and, it is said,
also less number among foreign
ers.
A safe word of advice to all mar
ried people, would seem to be "bet-
ter endure the ills we have, than fly
TO those we know not Of"

TIE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Mace, Va, Feb. 10.
Editor Clinch Valley News.

Mace, Va, Feb. 10.
Editor Clinch Valley News:
Please believe no offcnse is meant
in writing this. You say YOU do nol
desire to be unfair and | take your
word for il. Will you take in return.
my word that you are absolutely
mistaken in your belief of what the
Catholic church is and has been?
If what her enemies say of her
were true | would not belong to her
communion for single day. 1t Is;
natural for an honest man to loathe
an institution such as you believe
her to be. Does it not occur to YOU
that it is also natural that satan
finds it profitable to propagate false
hood against the true church OF
Christ. Thereby shutting the King
dom of God against men" because
his followers go not in themselves
and "suffer not others to enter" as
to our doctrinal beliefs. Let me ten
you that if scriptural proof is the
test, then we are right for there is
not single Catholic tenet that |
can take your own version of the
scriptures and prove the doctrines
by 1T. The church wrote the Bible.
she existed several centuries and
taught men the truths of SALVATION
before the Bible was written. Christ's
injunction to his Apostles was to ego
teach all nations" at the same .,ni,,
promising the Holy Spirit to guide
her in the way of Holiness and truth.
Can you imagine Him commanding
us to "bear the church" and permit
it to teach us any thing but the
truth? History says the Catholir
church is the Oldest Christian church
Does it not seem unreasonable to be-
fieve that Christ would fail to keen
His promise? If what the Reform
ers said were true Christ's wu.u.,
were not true. If His church became
corrupt in her teaching then the
"gates of hell have prevailed against
her contrary to Christ's promise. /
would rather be Jew and believe
that our Redeemer is yet to come
than believe he would found a church
and then fail to keep His promise
New Testament open before me- |
find it easy to believe in the real
presence of Christ's body and blood
in Holy communion. If plain words
mean anything that is what lie
iichiiI NheH llO SHlu, his IS MY
body, this is My blood 1t is a mys.
terry, it transcends QUIZ weak intellect.
Like Peter, who said when our
Lord asked him if he also would go
away, "Lord, to whom shall we go?'
Thou hast the words of eternal life.
The Jews had striven amongs them
selves, saying, GLOW can this man.
give us his flesh to eat?" This is a
hard saying and who can hear it.
After that they walked no more with
Him." They had no faith.
Much more could be written but
space does not permit. One word
about the Virgin. We do not worship
Her, we honor her as is due Gods
Mother "Honor to whom honor is
due" we try to initiate her virtues
as the most perfect woman who ever
lived. She is the ideal mother. 1t
would be idoltary to pay her divine
homage and every instructed Cath
olic knows this.
Begging your indulgence of what ]
have written to be the truth of what
Catholics really believe, / am,
Respectfully yours,
MRS. S. M. REEDY.

TO INVESTIGATE FILM MAKERS

Two murders of moving pictur,
people in Los Angeles within shorr
time, has drawn the attention of the
entire United States. The moralit,
OF the screen people is under suspic-
ion. Heretofore criticism was focus
ed upon the picture. Now criticism
and investigation will be directed 10
the film makers instead of the films.
Some one has said, that general
principle is this: No pure, nudes,
woman will lend herself, to the maxi
ing of an immoral. lewd or immodesr
picture, and this true whether the
woman appears on the screen or OH
the stage. The half naked high kick.
ing hugging and kissing women OF.
the stage or screen are all under
suspicion, and are not at least mod
els, of womanly modesty, to be held
up as examples before the younl
people of the homes of any communi-
ty. If there is one lesson our young
people need be taught and emphasize.
ed just now it is that of womanly
modesty- Let it be distinctly under
stood that all screen and stage act.
resses are not be be classed as I'M.
pure. There are good women on the
stage and in the film studios. but So
many idols of the public have been
smashed that no one knows who IL
who, and7that is the case with the
men az well. Mr.. Hays says that the
character of the film makers rather
than the films, should be investigar
ed. This will be laying the axe at
the root of the tree, as the Good
Book says.

FARMERS DOWN BUT NOT
OUT"

Tho Salvation Army says, "a man
may be down but lie is never out,
which means that however far down
a man may be he will "come back"
if given help and time. How pre-
eminently true this is of the farm
ers.
They may be down-often are, pur
never out. They have the recupera-
Dive power. A good shower Of rain.
and the grass will spring up Ill the
meadow over night. When it can be
said Of the farmers that they are
down and out, then it is good night
to every other interest in this coun-
try. From "mothcr earth" grows the
subsistence of the life of the world
The railroads, coal mines, schools
merchants, banks-all are dependant
upon the farmers for their very life
This has all been often said and rs
often forgotten or ignored. The pres
ent condition came upon the farmer
suddenly, and downed him tempo
rarily but not for long.
He is coming back" and bringing
with him lot of good experience.
He will be on hand every time the
bell rings or the horn blows, and
ready to shoulder his responsible
task of feeding the world.
He is learning who are his friends
He can't be fooled all the time. Sue
cess to him! More strength to his
