Like as Christ was raised from
the dead by the glory of the Father
even so we also should walk in new
ness of life-Romans GA.
That Christ rose from the grave
and entered upon a new and glori-
fled life is a fact of history. just
as certain as that fact, is the truth
that the person who believes in
Jesus Christ has a new life in Him
All mankind are described in the
Bible as dead in trespasses and
sin. ."-Ephesians 2:l. Thus, all are in
need of new lite This life God
gives by His grace to those who
accept His Son as their Saviour
from sin. HE that heareth my word,
and beliveth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and is
passed from death to life."-John
5:24. This passage from the death
to life is compared to Christ's resur-
rection from the grave. AS He arose
and lives forever, so we can be
Alsed from the death of sin into
lewness of life.
Having received life eternal, we

We were, as always, poorly prepar-
ed,-single shot rifles and black
powder, poor food, bad sanitation
But Spain was much worse off than
we. Our Navy, with its tradition OF
efficient action, soon took command
OF the seas and it was all over for
Spain, she had no way to communi-
cate with her forces. The 485, 1000
volunteers were paid $3.50 a month
there was no bonus, no insurance
no compensation, no vocational
training, no disqualification until
1922. The war cost $1,000, 900, 900. 90
and was paid for with documentary
stamps in few years. Dronarty
acquired was valued at $4,000, ,OOO,-

Unexpected Support for Objection

Unexpected Support for Objection
to Fire Arms Restriction laws is
the Little Orphan Annie" strip OF
the 18th. Little Annie was surprised
by the ease with which farm girl
shot down a predatory hawk and
questioned the girls father;--"With
everybody packing firearms don't
you have lot of killings" His re-
ply;--"The last murder we had was
back in 1904 and that was done by
a stranger. We are not troubled by
crime waves either, stickup men
aren't protected here by law that
disarms their victims--why stick
up fellow here would be lucky to
live long enough to get his gun half
drawn" 1t is evident to any one
who will take the trouble to think
that such restrictive laws as this
state has now disarm the law abid-
ing and leave the lawless with their
guns. Now every one of you good
citizens walk up to the sheriff. and
register your pistol. 1t will be a
comfort to the somewhat lawless to
know exactly where the pistols are
the record is open to inspection. 1t
is by no means impossible that there
may come a political upset in Missis-
sippi that would make us wish that
law was not on the statute books.
Some new sheriff may demand you
hand over the gun that he finds
registered in your name. If you don't
register it, spoilers Of the night
riders may turn you up and into
Jail you'd 60 for 80 days, hand over
$250.00 and lose the gun anyway.

It MuY Be A symptom of The
Times that the Commander-inChie1

cease expressing opposition to the
merger of the Services, on which
he has decided, under pain of be-

large and admittedly able, straight

nobody else is. Let's hear the Navy's
views Just possibly they may have
some good reasons. Makes one Won
der what bugs are under the chips.
The riendish Forethcught Of the
Hun becomes more evident daily.
They announced early in the war
that their enemies would be stripped
OF food and means of livelihood so
that in the end those who dared op-
pose them should be SO weakened
in body and spirit as never again
would they, the Huns, be defied. To
that end they deliberately plundered
the peoples, as they were overrun.
of foodstuffs and livestock which
was sent back to Germany until
the conquered nations were forced
to subsist on far less than an ade-
quate diet SO they should be weak
ened for generations. The while, the
well fed Hun should have the Drawn
and vigor to build for more con-
quests. So the Poles, the Greeks,
Belgians, Dutch, Norwegians, were
systematically plundered until they
have not enough grain for seed for
this springs planting, nor enough
food to give them strength to plant.
Thus it is imperative to send them
food and livestock and tools to take
them through year, keep up their
strength and heart, enable them
again to stand bulwark against
the diabolical German.
