BAPTIST CHURCH REVIVAL.

Evangelist S. E. Hamilton preached to a good audience last night, using for his text “And as Moses lifted up ' the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up; i That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal .life.” He Ikiened the serpent bitten Israelite of old to the sin stricken men,of today. X e emphasized the necessity of looking td Jesus immediately. - The man who refuses to turn to Jesus in order that he may look after big business interests is failing in the very thing for which God gave him life. You are here to prepare for eternity,- and to help other? to prepare. You cq nonly prepare by exercising faith in Jegus. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” Love is the outgrowth of faith. If a man has faith in Jesus he loves Jesus; and if a man loves Jesus, he obeys iesus. “If a man love me, he will keep my words.” God has asked that man believe Him and obey Him, and when man fails to do this, he Is on the wrong track. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” If you believe you are saved, if you refuse to belive you are damned. He that believeth and is baptized shall ibe saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:16. Thank God for the promise “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” and that means you. Subject for tonight, “Jesus Seeking Admission.’’. —Contributed.

SECRET WEDDING IS REVEALED

BRIbE OF SOLDIER MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT ON LEAVING _ FOR* HER HOME. .‘•Y' ' ’" ' .■ c ? - ». J •' .■‘■•■-■J- ’ ». * Mrs. Vincent Quinn, who for some time had been a guest of 'her friend, Mrs; C. E. Rhoades, of this city, left Tuesday evening for her home in Chicago. ’ « In noting the departure of this guest we were about to report the name as Miss Gene Landers, when we were informed that this name had been changed to Mrs. Vincent Quinn on the 23rd of August, 1918, the wedding 'having ibeen performed at. the home of the bride in Chicago on that date. Mrs. Quinn has been a frequent visitor to this city, where she has a very large crcle of friends. Her • husband, 'Private Vincent Quinn, is the son of Me. and Mrs. A. Quinn, of Marion township. Mir. and Mrs. A. Quinn are the owners vs a very large farm in. this locality, besides some valuable Hlinois. land. They are most excellent people and are very highly respected. , Private Quinn is a member of Headquarters company of the 69th field artillery at Camp Knox, Ky.

ANXIOUS TO RETURN HOME.

The following letter was (written by Clifford Ogle, who has seen much active service and France and has been wounded twice. He is the eon of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Ogle, former residents of this county but now of White county: Beau Desert, France, Nov. 12th, 1918. Dear Dad:I hadn’t intended to write just now, but when I came in here just now -the apparatus was too handy* Am up at the hospital again, the one I was a patient in last. Well, I hardly know what to write about first. The news is the only thing we know here, and, of course, you have heard all of that -today or yesterday. ( In my last letter I mentioned how the boys yell around over a rumor. You should have heard them yesterday when we found out for sure. I knew it at first by a French extra that some one brought out 'here on a bicycle. In about' ten minuses you ijwuld have thought-it a camp of lunatics instead of convalescent soldiers. They found an old flag somewhere, tied it on a long stick, and paraded around the camp, yelling themselveshoarse, while the Frendi people who happened to be passing clapped their hands and yelled, “Vive I’Amerique” and “Vive la France.” Three or four thousaftd men all yelling at once can make quite a noise. Even the squareheads working in the camp seemed to be, tickled all over. I went dowri town Sunday thinking the news might come in then, but I was on guard yesterday. By all accounts there was some celebration in Bordeaux. The Parisians aren’t the only French that are excitable. I happened to be the sentry at the gate and every one of them that came through would say “Fini la guerre!” (The war is over) or salue and shout “Vive I’Amerique.” The officer of the day was around after 10 o’clock when all passes were due in,, and they kept coming in in bunches. The cars were loaded and they had to walk all the way. “Let them come In,” 'he said. “We don’t want that many in the guardhouse.”

Well, a fellow can’t get the blues now. All he ha sto do is to stfirt figuring out .how long it is before he starts back, and the blues will vanish. Let’s see; if I come out on the evening trap, I’H get off at 4:35, and will get out there in 50 minutes hardwalking, 5:25. As one, Dr.s„WJiartbn; of Texas, said when giving us a talk at Base 34, “If the government has changed the trains it’s a dirty trick.” He had it figured out, too. I used to get in sueh a hurry that I would almost run the last half mile after a mnoth or two away and*a hundred miles to go. How’ll it be this time, after two years with 4,000 miles to go? It seems I would be just about there if I could get on a Pullman rolling out of Jersey City. I might get out and run ahead of the train! The P. L. M. is quite a road, but be for the P. L. If I have my choice I’ll take it from Manhattan to Idaville. It seems the surer a fellow is of the chance to go back, the more anxious he gets -to try it. But, of course, human nature comes in. Three weeks ago all we cared about was to get back, cattle boat, hospital boat or raft. Now we have, preferences as to which boat we want to ride in. More fun that a little! Must close. Your loving son, CLIFFORD.

MARSHALL SETS NEW PRECEDENT

PRESIDES* OVER CABINET AT PRESIDENT’S REQUEST—MeADOO BIDS FAREWELL. "/I ■‘™ Washington, Dec. 10.—Vice President Marshall presided over -today's cabinet meeting, at the request of President Wilson, who is enroute to Europe and set, according to the White House staff, a new precedent in the conduct of American executive affairs. No other vice president,-so. far as records show* ever -presided at a cabinet session. In taking his seat Mr. Marshall set at rest any theories that he might; be acting as president. He said he was attending the gathering “informally and impersonally, not undertaking to exercise any official duty or function.” ;.i Before going to the White House Mr. Marshall explained that the president before departing for Europe had asked him to preside at the cabinet meetings and had repeated the request by wireless from the George Washington. Mr. Marshall made it plun that he had no idea of functions of the president. No business requiring the attention of the president developed at the cabinet session, it was said, and the wireless carried no message from it to the presidential ship George Washington. , f The cabinet meeting today was the last which Secretary McAdoo will- attend, as he vill be succeeded -next Monday by Carter Glass. Mr. McAdoo bade farewell -to members of -the cabinet and attaches of the executive offices, although he will remain in Washington until January 1 or until his successor as director-general of railroads is appointed.

MAKING THE WORLD PERFECT.

The following is ‘-taken from the column “Today,” Which is written by Arthur Brisbane at $2,000.00 per week for the Chicago Herald-Exmain-er. This is a splendid article, but isn’t Arthur stepping upon pretty dangerous ground? His supposed-re-lation with the- brewers of the coun-» try has already given hijn some very, very distasteful notoriety: / “Making the world perfect is po simple job. They are about to. try it on a big scale in Paris, with the help of wise men. They wll have difficulties. They are tryipg it on a small scale in Washington, D. C., with “dry” legislations and they have difficulties there - Last Thursday the police of Washington -decided to find out exactly how prohibition was working in the nation’s capital - . Policemen were sent, to meet the trolley cars coming in from Baltimore, instructed to arrest men and women carrying suspicious looking valises. • The orders were not to disturb anybody bringing in not more than six quarts of whisky, on the theory that a man might bring in six quarts of whisky for ibis own use. That would not be ‘‘bootlegging,” although six quarts df. whisky poison Would give anybody delirium tremens in short order. \ On that one evening, last Thursday, the Washington police, having freed all those having six quarts of whisky or less, took-scores of men and Women to. the police station and took from them five thousand quarts of whisky that the owner' 4 sell at a greAt profit in “dry” Washington. - If in one night the police take from “bootleggers” five thousand Quarts of Whisky at the nation’s capital, where virtue dwells an<V legislates, how difficult will it be to make the whole nation dry when the experiment is tried on the first of next July! A man bringing ip twenty quarts of whisky could make by a single trip to Baltimore a profit of baout S3O. By manufacturing under absolute prohibition the twenty quarts of whisky in a woodshed, a man could make a profit of SSO or more. It is difficult to enforce a law so easily evaded. In France, England, Italy and some other countries the plan is to discourage whisky, brandy and poisonous spirits and compromise on the mildest stimulants. It will be interesting to see which sort of legislation will pioduce the highest percentage of sobriety, the attempt at perfection in pure U. S. A. or the compromise with poor human nature in Europe?

EVENING REPUBLICAN MUST BE APPRECIATED

I Tuesday evening our carrier boy on'the route in the southeast part of i the city failed to show up. Another lad was eecared -to take his place a very late hour and being unfamiliar with the route ho failed to deliver papers to all of our customers on this route. That the paper is ap- . predated and greatly missed seems: to be evident from -the fact 4hM than thirty-five inquiries as to what was the matter with the paper were answered over the phone at the homeof the editor. Many of the patrons received their papers later in the evening, and a Tuesday’s paper will be> delivered to all who were missed en-, tirely. We regret the inability to be on time with the paper, but very greatly appreciate the interest, kindles aw| patience shown by the patrons on this router
