Politicians Fight A

The letter of Secretary of War Slmson transmitting to congress "information concerning the distribution of the mobile army, and the names of army posts which have been located In their present situations for reasons which are totally obsolete," no has been printed and is in the possession of all the members of congreis, who are giving more attention to It than to any other communication th.t has come from the government department for some time. Possibly It is the attention of selfish Interest. Representative Hay, chairman o tbe house committee on military affairs, seems to think that under the law there is no reason why the secretary of war should not order useless army posts abandoned and "let it go at that." Mr. Hay, it is said, does not think that congressional action is necessaryCertainly it does not seem to have been necessary in the past, when many army posts were given up by the department, acting on its own authority. The army answer to the implied question why useless army posts are not done away with 'offhand is that the department would be inviting something approaching destruction if it should order the colors down at posts in which members are Interested and at which repairs and quarters extensions have been ordered by the authority of the lawmakers. The war department apparently is not seeking any more trouble than it must invite by the plain letter which has just bean penned by Secretary Stimson. Some of the congressmen are happy, apparently, that the war department grouped the various army posts that are recommended for abandonment because the wholesale nature of the recommendation naturally will tend to bring about a coalition of members in opposition. Proper strategic considerations, these members say, should have led the war department to another oourse, and it would have been easier to get rid of superfluous army posts "by easy gradations," wiping out one at a time and doing it without calling the country to the parade ground to witness the ceremony. There seems to be a touch of huuor on the skle-page of this printed letter from the secretary of war: "The names of army posts which have been located in their present situation for reasons which are now totally obsolete." Political influences, still virile, may be responsible for maintaining several of the useless garrisins for years to come. The army authorities, having gone into this matter, seem willing to be plain about it. It is said in the letter to congress that in addition to the enlargement of many posts several were established without any recommendation from the board of general officers appointed by Secretary Root to consider and make recommendations for a more concentrated system of garrisoning the mobile army. Fort Benjamin Harrison near Indianapolis and Fort Des Moines, la., were established by direct acts of congress. The army to-day seems to be fairly well satisfied that Fort Benjanin Harrison is well located and that it serves well certain military purposes. The army does not think, much of Fort Des Moines as a place of strategic importance. Fort Benjamin Harrison and Fort Des Moines are "political posts." The Iowa garrison owes its construction at a cost of 11,377,000 to the local pride and congressional influence of John A. T. Hull, who represented the Des Moines district in the house for years, and who for a considerable part of his congressional career was chairman of the house committee on military affairs. Army officers say on occasion that the human frailties to which they and the war department authorities are subject, like other men, make it perfectly natural that no army opposition to the wishes of congressmen from whom the service must look for justice, if not for favors, is to be expected. The Des Moines post was built and it is not the only one which has been established because of "local and political influences." Within the last two or three years military tournaments have been held in several Titles of the country. The war department waB asked to detail regular troops to take part in the exercises, and in each case it responded. The department had found that the loan of troops for exhibition purposes stimulated enlistments, and there were several other reasons why there was a willingness to make the necessary details. ' It was said that they secured better returns from the tournament in Chicago than from these In smaller cities. One of the smaller cities was the chief town of a district whose representative was a man of great legislative influence. It was given more troops than the influence of all the Chicago members could command for the home city. Army legislation recommended by army officers for a good many years ' was what may be called individual legislation. There was precious little asked for on behalf of company, regiment, brigade or division that did not have in it something which was certain to be of personal benelt to some officers of rank and influence. Congress might possibly retort in kind to intimations from army headquarters that influences have been exerted by representatives and senators for purely personal and political reasons.

NE of the great fundamental truths of Christianity la the deity of Christ. This truth Is one of the foundation doctrines of the whole Bi ble; and yet this truth, most plainly expressed in the Bible, is disbelieved by thousands of professing Christiana. I have often wondered aa to what there is about Christ's deity which should lead any professing Christian to deny it. Certainly, nothing can be gained by the denial, but. on the contrary, a great deal Is lost by it The fact is. there never would have been a Now Testament, such aa we now have, had not Christ been verily God In flesh. Indeed, the Old Testament would be largely valueless and meaningless if Christ were net pre-eminent ly divine, even in various ways by the Old Testament prophecies, types, and ordinances. And the New Testament very distinctly proclaims Christ's de ity. In the Gospel of John, 1:3, 4. this truth Is made remarkably clear and pronounced. Rev. Dr. C I. Seofield. In referring to that passage. says: "We have the announcement concerning the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ that In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. and the word was God.' Now there is no explaining away of that statement, and I believe that the hostility manifested by the forces destructive to Christianity, within and without the church, to the Gospel of John. Is due primarily to the fact that there is no avoiding or evading it. If the Gospel of John stands as a divine book, the question of the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ is settled in the very first Terse of it I do not believe that the proof of the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ rests only upon that statement. I only say that opening verse, there is gathered up the affirmative, which has many illustrations and many lines of proof in Scripture, that he is indeed very God. "The same' was in the beginning with God." Of no other person on earth was it ever said in the Bible, or by divine authority, that he existed with God before the foundation of this world. No prophet, priest, or apostle ever had the presumption to say, or even the desire to say. that he was with God before his own birth. Furthermore, If Christ were not God in human form, then he was the greatest impostor that this world ever knew of. He could not have been even a moral man. One Must Strive to Attain. There are no hard and fast rules for life in the New Testament, neither Is there any clear cut system of theology. Why? Because God wants to develop our spiritual nature, and neither of these things would have promoted that end. We can only grow; spiritually by constantly striving to get - a clearer comprehension of truth and duty and striving to apply the principles set before us in the Bible in our own lives. It Is more important to be studying truth and gaining ever clearer and fuller light than it is to know truth; for it is by study that the mind grows and if a man could know all there is to know there would not be any way In which he could enlarge his mind. So it is with all spiritual attainments. To be always gaining, always growing, is the important matter. Where a man actually standa In his spiritual experience is cot nearly so important as the direction In which he is traveling. Aa soon as a man ceases to strive toward a higher level of Christian living he begins to stagnate spiritually; and stagnation Is deterioration. The Bible Is full of problems, which appear to many mlnda to be difficulties1 in the way of faith; but which are really stepping-stones to help us into a larger and more robust faith. A Mathematical Wind. One morning after a tempestuous night during which several trees were rooted up Dr. Vlnce. at Cambridge, met a friend.
