Thomas Riley Marshall , sometime vice-president of "these , states,” spoke as follows: ”1 have supreme contempt for a i man who lies around like a dead cock t in a pit, and waits for the man who t knocks him out to use a hypodermic j syringe to inject new life into him." ; The words have a pleasantly fa- £ miliar ring, ’and the sentiments arc j in keeping with the character of the man who gave utterance to them. Mr. Marshall further said that he . was not engaged in lecturing, since 1 the definition of “lecture’’ was “to 1 instruct dogmatically,” while his i “talks” were neither instructive nor dogmatic. Addresess may be in- t structive without being dogmatic, ■ j and certainly they may be dogmatic' ■■ without being instructive, but Mr., > Marshall insists that his talks are ' < devoid of both qualities. Perhaps he |; is too modest. , The former vice-president certain-' 1 ly can be instructive, and his re- 1 marks yesterday regarding “lame * ducks” rather indicate that he can 1 be dogmatic. The subject is certain- * ly interesting. There are always 1 men out of a political job diligently 1 seeking to attach themselves to a new one, sometimes successfully, and ! often with a humiliating lack of sue- 1 cess. Fortunate is he who does not < r —— i feel compelled to resort to fflW-W pedients. We do not think that Mr. Marshall need have feared that his.:

visit to the president would expose him to the suspicion of being a "lame duck." Nevertheless, he saw fit to Improve the opportunity to express himself on the subject, which he did in his usual picturesque and forceful way.—lndianapolis News. The Grand Army of the Republic, facing its declining days, is setting Its house in order. At the annual encampment in Indianapolis the last will and testament of the organisation was drawn up. The will is in the form of a resolution and provides for the disposal of all properties and relics of the Grand Army after taps have sounded over the last of these good soldiers. Tho various properties accumulated since the organisation was founded have considerable monetary und even more sentimental value. But there are things of far greater value which the Grand Army will leave to those who came after it —things which are neither visible nor tangible, and whose preservation will be a test of the nation. Loyalty, bravery, fiery patriotism, fine generosity to the vanquished and good citizenship in peace are the greatest treasures which these vanishing veterans have to leave. According to the Waste Trade Journal, rag pickers salvage over two billion dollars worth of stuff that has been thrown away every year in this country. This salvage includes 390.000 tons of brass and 200.000 tons of tires, inner tubes and other junk rubber. Fifty thousand people are kept busy gathering up what we throw away; and that means that each one picks up an average of $40,000 of stuff that we have deliberately wasted. There is an old saying that "Europe can live on what America throws away,” and we believe that in a large measure it is true. We are a wasteful nation as a whole, and while Adams county citizens are no worse than others in this respect, they are at the same time no better. We waste too much right here at. home—and right here at home is the place to begin correcting our deficiencies. With the disarmament conference about over and the only steps taken

CRYSTAL TONIGHT frr J 3) ' fC"-.' *■■'?* S AidPSni 10 & 15 Cents. —o — Coming Friday “Civilian Clothes.” being those to induce the cities, j counties and states to take care of their own jobless men by public work, the question bobs up as to how this can be done with taxes already at a back breaking peak. If the leaders will straighten out the market problem, money exchange and the tariff and income difficulties in a sensible way .so tiw .jttwAwries and shops can reopen, the question will solve itself and in the only healthy way it will ever be worked out. « It’s easy to make campaign promises. We have had some not so long ago that they are not forgotten. For instance Governor Goodrich promises a reduction in expenses and we got the new’ tax law. Just remember that it's easy to criticize but more difficult to execute and be fair about it. October Ist to 10th is the period for observance of fire prevention methods in this state and every citizen is urged to do his part. A little care may prevent serious loss of life and property. Let's all enter into this effort. NOTICE Smoking and confusion are absoI lutely forbidden on the .Monroe tow rnship U. B. church premises. MONROE TWP. U. B. CHURCH. 1236-t9x

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 9 PAUL AT EPHESUS. LESSON TEXT—Acta 19:1-41. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou "halt worehlp the .Lord they God, and him only ehait thou serve.—Matt. 4:10. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Rev. I:M. PRIMARY TOPIC - Paul a Loving Friend and Minister. JUNIOR ToPIC-Phul and the Silversmiths. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Experience in Ephesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Planting tho Gospel In a Cent*, of 1 *•- ganlsm. I. John’s Disciples Become Christians (vv. 1-7). These twelve disciples had only been taught the baptism of repentance as a preparation for the kingdom of God. Paul taught them to believe in Christ, that is, to receive Him as the One who had on the cross provided redemption for them. 11. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv. 8-10). 1. In the Jewish synagogue (v. 8). Bls message Is characterized by: (1) boldness. He realized that God had sent Him and that His authority was back of Him. (2) Reason. Ha reasoned with them. God’s message is never sentimental nor arbitrary, but In accord with the highest reason. J 3) Persuasion. It is not enough to come boldly, with a reasonable message; jt must be accompanied by persuaslort (4) Concerning the kingdom of God. He did not discourse on current events, literature, or philosophy, but upon the message of salvation through Christ. 2. In the schoolhouse of Tyrannus (vv. 9, 10). Paul’s earnest preaching only hardened the Jews. When they came out and spoke .openly against this way of salvat&on In Christ, Paul separated the diSciples from them and retired to the schoolhouse of Tyrannus. 111. God Working Miracles bytPaul (vv. 11-16). So wonderfully did be manlfestulis power that handkerchiefs and aprons brought from Paul’s body healed tfjp sick and cast out evil spirits from those whose lives bad been made wretched by them. — IV. - A"Glorious Awakening (w. 1741). 1. Fear fell upon all (v. 17). News of the casting out of these evil spirits created impressions favorable to Christianity. 2. It brought to the front those who professed faith in Christ while n<< living right lives (v. 18). They believed, but had not broken from sin. 3. Gave up the practice of black arts (v. 19). This means forms of jugglery by use of charms and magical words. All such are in opposition to the will of God; therefore no one can have fellowship with God and practice them.. They proved the genuineness of their actions by publicly burning their books. Though this was an expensive thing—valued at about sl2,soo—they did not try to sell the books and get their money back. When you find you have been, in a wrong business, make a clean sweep of things; bum up your boefcs on Spiritualism, Christian Science, etc.; empty your whisky and beer into Uie sewer, and have a tobacco party ilar to the Boston tea party. 4. Uproar of the Silversmiths |at Ephesus (vv. 23-41). (1) The occasion (vv. 23, 24). This was the power of the gospel In destroying tine infamous business of Demetrius amt bls fellows. It was clear to them that idolatry tottering before the power of the gospel. They were not interested particularly in the matter from a religious standpoint, but because it was undermining the principal business of the city. (2) The method (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a leading business man, whose business was the stay of others of a similar nature, called a meeting and stated that much people had turned from idolatry and that the market for their wares was materially weakening. He appealed to his ’‘fellows (a) on the ground of business, saying “This, our craft, is in danger of being set at naught,” (v. 27). (b) On the ground of religious prejudice. He said “The temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised” (v. 27). He became quite religious when he saw’ that his business was being interfered with. His speech gained his end; the whole crowd was enraged and yelled in. unison, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” The mob was quieted by the tact and good judgment of the town clerk. The Fall of Jerusalem. And Nebuchadnezzar, king ol Babylon, came against the city, nnd his’servants did besiege it. ; And h« carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the migltty mer of valor, even ten thousand captives.— II Kings, 24:11 and 14. > The Day of Reckoning.
