I wish to announce to the public that I have moved by place of business to new and larger quarters in the Platts mouth garage, on South Fifth street, one-half block south of the Bank of Cass county, where I am in position to handle the increasing demand for the Chevrolet car. I'hone me any time lor demonstration of the most wonderful car on the market for the money. W. W. WASLEY. One IJlock south of Bank of Gass County. 2wd&w YQUB GOAL Bl wmm ture are words of truth. The words love, God and is to establish separate ly the great truth, "God is love," but only when rightly placed together. You may be an authority on botany, and geology, and languages, and thus be in possession of a great many of the element of truth, but not be in pos session of the real truth of life. Again, as Paul says, "Tho I have all knowledge and understand all mysteries, and have not love, I am nothing.' That is why Prof. Driver was one of the most learned students of biblical exegesis, but one who did not know the main nucleus of truth which th Bible contained, that ardent love for others that made Dwipht L. Moody and Charles Spurgeon, men of little learning, famous because of their possession of wi?dom that is di vine. What knowledge they had was used rightly and so made them among the wisest of men. The one who studies is carrying out the Divine command vhich, was given in the beginning to subdue the earth. Or, in the DOth Psalm, "Thou turnest man to destruction and say est return ye children of men." It is man's attempt to solve the de structive forces that are about hirri and to return unto God. As the shell cast upon the shore mourns of the sea, so study is the yearning to be at peace again ni the ocean of Infinite Wisdom. As it is the instinct of an ant when his hill is disturbed to pro tect the unhatchd eggs, and preserve the life that is within them, so there should also be in every man an active desire to restore order in this world, that every soul should have an equal right to the fullest joys of life. Tis true, as Shakespeare says, "Times are out of joint," but our attitude should be different than was that of the speaker, who continues, "Oh cursed spite that I was eve born to set them right." The only yearning that ever should urge a nation to dominate the world should not be her culture, nor traditions, but a love of the world, that they would be willing to give their begotten sons and wealth and ingenuity that the world through them might live, and in that case such a nation would never have to I . 1 T r-l '.. r v. . : draw the sworci.

Truth has been crushed to earth, it is trampled in the trenches, it is lac erated in the air, it is mocked on the seas, and man rises bleeding from DAWSON Was there ever a time when the words of the prophet were more true and we can hear now: "A voice cry ing in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain. And the glory of the Lord shal be revealed and all flesh shall see it together, for the Lord hath spoken it." Let truth as sert itself in the hearts of our people, and again take its throne and we shall have peace, and even better still we shall have love. Nations are say ing that after the war our people shall not trade with Germany, we shall have no more dealings with the Germans. May the student nations of the world learn the lesson of the war, that death dwells in doubts, but life in love. Wisdom's children are the cream of the earth. My dictionary gives as a definition of wisdom "the right use of knowledge." Lieut. Swartzlopenski, who spoke in the high school, said that the Russian people were not a learned people, but they were wi&e. They had good judgment. They made good use of what they knew. The question be fore us is, then, -where sh-all we find the highest wisdom? For we want to sit at her feet, and learn of her, indeed, we want to worship her. Three hundred million people wor ship Confucius. Of wisdom he said, "it is to foster right among the people and to keep aloof from the ghosts of the dead." His advice is good, but not sufficient. He supplied the command but not the motive power to do right. He was talking to hearts blackened in sin. One might as well say to a goat. "Eat no bark from mf fruit tree." - But the goat cannot change his nature and the command is unheeded. To stop eat ing bark from fruit trees, he must be a dog. For a dog has no desire for such and the trees are safe and the dog is free to run among the trees There must be placed in a man a desire to do the right, and then the command will be heeded. As it is China is a fine place to leave. It is no wonder that travelers say they are rflipvf-d to ae-ain embark to other lands. Another great religion of the world i: Voh.immeaamsm. 1 hcv tell me that the Koran is a book of high moral teaching. I take one look at the children of Mohammedanism and I turn awav for deliverance from such conditions. The other great re ligion is Christianity. I find every Christian nation at war with each other. But I have mis-spoken. They are not Christian nations. A nation is not Christian until its policies have become the policies of Christ. As Vng as any nation, no matter how many Christian citizens there are in her population, allows the governing officers to dictate a policy that rep resents not a Christian spirit, but is tainted with selfish motives for per sonal intrfcnehment, that is lacking in altruistic attitude in foreign rela tions, that it obdurate and merciless in international conferences, that na tion must pay the penalty in blood for her negligenc. Emperor William is not responsible for the German em pire he is not the vice-fjerent of God for Germany, nor is King George to the English, but both the Germans and the English, as well as America, are responsible for the emperor, the Kinjr and the President. A well established firm -sending forth a re liable agent will make good any prep osition that agent contracts with an other business "firm. If Christian na tions, so called, want peace, they must see that the men who run their gov ernments aVe Christian gentlemen, uncompromising in sin, and then we will be known as a Christian nation, whose mission is a love unselfish for the world. Thus, in the turmoil of these Chris tian nations, I find their savagery not so much inherent in their generic na ture, as it is an expression of their worse type of citizens, who have, by a series of circumstances, been able to usurp the power of the government. On the other hand, I find that there is in the hearts of the great mass of people an abhorrence of such conduct, and if there were taken a vote of th people, including also the mothers and wives, there would never be an- A ride in any of the Willys-Overland models will enable you to understand the luxurious riding qualities cf these cars.
