German Fate In HANDS OF

Monarchy or Republic" Dominates Is

Berlin, June 19.-One of the bitterest
election campaigns in. German history
ended tonight in what the Nationalist
papers describe as an orgy of envy and
hate"
The German people 90 to the polls to
register a decision which primarily will
determine whether their eX-rul9rs shall
be made paupers or whether their proper
ties, valued at more than 5000, 900. 900
shall be returned to them, but both sides
agree that the result Of the balloting
will have a far deeper significance, in
vo!ving the fate of Germany herself,
Republic At Stake.
Monarchy and Republic, private prop
erty and B~olshevism, church and State,
class hatreds and class pride, traditions,
loyalties, greed, envy, resentment against
personal losses in the war ard afterWard
when initiation swept the country-thpse
are some of the elements breWed together
in a Witch's cauldron which have upset
all normal calculations, shattered all
party lines and divided families against
themselves.
Tomorrow will decide, according to the
monarchists, whether Germany is to 90
the way of Russia or whether, according
to the more outspoken Republicans, mon
archy is to be started on the march.
Even those who are not inclined to such
extreme forebodings are full of appre-
tensions over the consequences of such
an unprecedented whipping up of the
popular passions.

NOTICE TO ALL
DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS

This is to notify you that all delin-
quent taxes must be paid without fur
Their delay. So far l have been very
lenient with you, but the State and the
county are demanding collection of
all delinquent taxes.
Changes in the assessments cannot
be made by the Treasurer. If any as
sessment is incorrect the matter
should be taken up with the County
Commissioners.
A great many persons complain be-
cause their property is advertised for
delinquent taxes and say they are put
to great deal of expense and humili-
alton on account of same. Remember
if your property is advertised for de-
linquent taxes it is your fault and not
the fault of the Treasurer. Pay UP
your taxes in full on or before the
first day of January of each calendar
year and your name will never appear
on the delinquent list.
l want to be of the greatest service
to you and help you all l can, but
can not help you much unless you try
to help yourselves by being prompt in
the payment of your taxes and giving
me all the information you can.
Never allow more than one years
taxes to be upon you at time; if you
have been in the habit of allowing
your taxes to double up, be sure to get
rid of that habit at once, as it is not
fair to me nor best for yourself and
cannot be permitted longer.
If you find anything wrong come in
and see me and talk the matter over
before complaining or mentioning it
to others.
Yours very sincerely,
ALBERT L. LEE, Treasurer,
Garrett County, Md.

dedicate a child to Gods service if He
should call, there was not one willing
to make such a conditional offering
Our lack is dedicated boys and girls.
When my own gray haired mother
was told that her boy was to enter
the ministry, she said: 81 gave you to
God the day you were born" So Sam
uel passed into the Church school
where he learned much from the gen.
tie old priest.
THE CALL OF THE
PROPHET,
God stopped and called child. 1t
is the eternal wonder of the world
always expectant that He will call an
adult. And He does, but His best time
is childhood. He may have been IL,
and certainly he was in that straight
thinking period when black is black
and white is white, with no gray be-
tween. The unrebuked sin of those
days looked to the unspoiled heart of
child as it did to God Himself.
Ought he to tell Eli? 1t might mean
his dismissal from the House of God
an awful disgrace and distress for
that idolized mother who had shaped
the little coat he wore. Dared he do
it? For he loved the old priest who
had been so kind in taking his moth
er's place when he was so homesick
for her that he could scarce see for
tears. Yet the question refused to let
him alone and it knew no lessening
for the darkness. 1t is little wonder
that he heard Eli call. Eagerly he ran
to see what was wanted, only to be
told to lie down again. Presently Eli,
with wonderful insight into a boys
heart, understood that God was try
ing to get speech with the boy and
told him to listen and obey. What
night it was for Samuel. God came
near and was known. And when day
dawned the child knew that there was
no way out except by doing what he
believed was right at whatever cost,
of hurt to loved Eli, of peril to his
own hopes, of anguish to his mother;
at no matter what cost he must speak.
And when he crowned conscience
king he found peace and knew that
voice was Gods own, speaking within
his soul. That he followed it settled
his prophethood and all Israel rejoic-
ed and new day was born for his
land as it is born by every boy who
puts God before all things else in his
life.

mother suffered the will of God, the
other exulted in it. Small wonder
that the child breathed easily upon
the hills of God. His spirit was
swadGled in intercession and bathed
with prayer. His lullaby was the
crooned story of his dedication and he
knew himself as Jehovah's child be-
fore he could lisp his name. His will
bowed to the authority of love and his
hands knew the ministry of service.
1t was the home that gave inception
to this setter up of kings and inaugu-
rator of dynasties. And it was the
sorrow of heart within it that Graded
the child. All human defense was
gone. Even the love of husband
who had taken a second wife only
after there had been tears over a
chldless home could not protect her
from the strife Of tongues. She was
driven to God. She fled to Him as her
only resource and hid herself in Him
care. Elkhannah, deeply religious
himself, was far outstripped by her
in intimacy with the Eternal Father.
One may travel far before finding a
prophet as the product of a Goddess
home. In this high day of opportu-
nifty and of peril there is no power
that can so serve our day and our
children as that which puts God be-
fore all other considerations and
makes the home His shrine.
THE DEDICATION OF THE
PROPHET.
Into that heart of Hannah came a
great joy. Scorned for her childless-
ness, she gloried in the vindication of
her righteousness by the coming of a
baby boy. For the taunt that had
smitten her hardest was that she was
under the curse of God for some Sc
cret fault, some hidden stain, and to
have this charge fall harmless was
peace indeed. 1t had been bad enough
W 1eel HSl o"H empty arms, Willie
from that other tent came the lusty
shouts of baby voices, but to hear
that it was from some cherished be-
trayal of her husband was slow tor
ture. No wonder she prayed as one
who was drunk with the Spirit. Then
the day came. God asked, God given,
she could do no less than give to God
for all his days, and it is no wonder
that h ecaught the spirit that made
the face above him radiant. When
the years had passed that brought
second child and Samuel had passed
his babyhood there was the process
sion to Shiloh in silence almost but
with heart of joy also that the gift
of all gifts most fitting after Gods
goodness might be given to Him. She
walked very queen as she spoke to
Eli and told her wondrous tale. The
old man was thrilled by it and when
she presented the boy so beautiful
and strong, his heart overlooked also.
1t is great day when the parent
brings the child for dedication to the
Church of God. In one church where
the members were asked if they would
