have not forgotten what they did.
Their Message.
(Jane Dowling Foote)
Weep not for us; we are content,
Conserve your strength to work and

And raise to Peace that monument,
Whose corner stone we died to lay.
Our gift was great; but you must ghe
A greater to complete the plan;
We died; now you must nobly live.
To make man brother unto man.
- With earnestness and zeal we shall
continue to cherish, maintain and ex
tend the institutions of American
freedom, to foster true patriotism and
iove of country for mankind, all the
blessings of liberty.

CHURCHES WIN
EDITOR’S COIN
Bainliridge. (la., Nov. I.—Church-go
ing day in Bainbridge Sunday was the
biggest thing of its kind in the history
of this section.
Editor Griffin of the Post-Search
light, in an editorial, and in a unique
way, made an idea gleaned from a ser
mon preached by the Rev. Mr. Ward
of the Presbyterian church develop into
t capacity attendance of the churches
if Bainbridge Sunday morning at the
•egular 11 o’clock service.
One hundred dollars was offered to
he churches if they could report to

The churches declining the reward.

-1 music and sermons, emphasizing
(Ik 1 old songs, awakened emotions in

BEN M. EDWARDS
THE EVANGELIST.
After spending fifteen years or more
in the work of the pastorate Ben M.
Edwards resigned his work with the
splendid church at Paris, Texas, about
two years ago and entered the eran
'gelistic field. Since that time he has
iield meetings with some strong church
es in large cities and towns. Among
his great meetings are those with the
Hyde Park church of Kansas City, Mo.
and Bristol, Tenn. A newspaper in
the latter city commenting on the
meeting conducted there has this to
say: ‘Bristol has been favored in the
past with a roll of outstanding and
successful evangelists, but it, is uni
versally said by the people who have
heard I>r. Edwards nightly that he is
among the greatest who has ever con
ducted a campaign in the city. Ilis
wonderful personality and powerful
delivery adds great charm to the force
ful and logical messages whieh he
rings. 2 •
Associated with :Mjr, Edwards its
leaders of song and personal workers
re Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Pollock of
Nrbo, 111., These two workers have had
t wide experience iu the evangelistic*
lold and will add much to the effective
ness of the campaign being conducted
i our midst.
“An Old-Fshioned
Vinie”
(By Rev. L. W. Collins.j
There is a picture of JefTuson in the
University of Virginia, underneath
which- are written these significant
words of the great statesman, "The
art of government is the art of tn-iug
honest.” We have been trying to find
a solution for our present ills; we have
agitated diversification, co-operation,
credits and what not. And we find
that we must go buck to the author of
“Jeffersonian Democracy” to set our
IV t on the right patli once again. It
is an old-fashiom-d remedy, but it will
•ure every moral and financial ailment
a the land to-day. In the words of
Jefferson, we must learn “the art of
being honest.”
This nation is facing a financial eri
is of such magnitude as it has never
known. It is not because of the scar
city of money or the multiplication of
L ne boll weevil. Our whole financial
structure is threatened with collapse
because a large manlier of men have
treated their contracts and honest ob
ligations as so many scraps of paper,
l’liey have made confidence impossible
because they have destroyed the faith
nave set iu motion a current that will
sweep their neighbors as well as them
selves over a financial precipice. The
men that can pay and will not pay is
irting himself as well as others. One
debt paid would enable the receiver to
pay another, and so on until a thous
and debts were paid. As it is, what
help cfui he ever expect in the future
rum either man or God? He is sow
ng the wind and will reap the whirl
wind.
“An honest man is the noblest
Work of God.” A man may be honest
l
and be hard pressed, as multtiudcs are
it the present time. But an honest
man will say to his creditors. Here is
.! payment on account. lam doing the
best I can. and will pay you the last
cut I owe before I get through, or
will die before 1 quit trying.”
Such a man will find no trouble in
finding a way out of his difficulties, for
lie will have the confidence of God and
.nan. But the man who sings on Sun
lay about the “Old Time Religion” and
n Monday slips off his cotton to an
other town in order to dodge his cred
itors, is just a plain old-fashioned hyp
ocrite, and his actions speak louder
lhau his words, and give the lie to all
iis professions.
It is a lack of confidence that is stag
nating business to-day. There is a lot
>f money in the country, but who is
going to turn loose money aud credit
hose who have lost all sense of honor
itid who disregard all their obligations?
They are paving the way for financial
ruin not only for their creditors, bu*
or themselves; for there is no one of
■i that can prosper when the communi
y fails. As far as such a man is con
erued, he would absolutely destroy
■ls country for if everybody acted as
e did it would bankrupt the whole
ation.
It is time that we preachers were
eady not to lx* “pussy-foots” but proph
ts, and get back to the bed-rock of
lie ten commandments. For we have
been building a financial and moral
structure on the unstable sands and
great will be the fall thereof. We

oave had some church-joining revivals
his year, hut we need now a great
revival of debt-paying. We need to
emind folks that they may join any

There is only one way of salvation

‘owe no man anything” and to provide

Thos. Jefferson was right. The only

The tobacco industry is growing in
South Georgia and from the results of
Mr. Vincent’s efforts tobacco will do

trolled by one management. High
school and posing horses, the world’s
record holding high jumpers, a lengthy
array of gymnasts, aerialists, jugglers,
tumblers and many other exploits of
dexterity and daring. This mammoth
caravan, tilled with the wonders of
.the Arabian Nights, employs sufficient
people to till a village and transpor
tation is made in their own steel trains,
while showing open cages of wild ani
mals is a revelation in artistic trap
pings, gorgeous chariots and superb
horses.
