The time has como for nation, for a State,, a County?home?and individual or a World at large to consider very closely the proverbs of the wise and intelligent Solomon.

God in his infinite goodneus, looking down upon them in mercy saw their burdens, which were so heavy to bear in warfare, called this great man Solo^ mon to rule and reign over his peo^ pie whom he would divinely qualify to give Ids people a peaceful reign, ho being able by divine wisdom and knowledge to discern between good and evii was able to give God's people a period of rest and sweet repose. Ho saw by looking back over ancient and past historv saw the % ? startling power that was marvelou >Iv manifested by the grace of God that was shod abroad in the hosts of the patriots, and by the prevalence of the righteous spirit that ruled and j'eigned in the days of Abraham, of Jacob, Joseph, Samuel, Moses, David and Solcrnon.

As it sits a Nation on a plane that is unequalcd by any other element or character. It brings it right in touch with God,, insomuch that Kings, Priests and Presidents can walk in the light of God's countenance and that they can 'ike Enoch walk with God. When the. righteous spirit rules in the seat of a government the strong arm of Jehovah protects us frofn the hand of" the enemy and prompts those thai rule and reign over the people to rule in the face of God and to exercise the democratic spirit like that of America which are laws of which we arc proud j 1 feel at this moment like savinir Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men. Righteousness lifts up the personality of an individual from the lower elements of degiaded characters like those of Sodom and Rome to a more nobler character which are in Christ Jesus the Lord. We the Christianized America today stand in the lead as being a land of the noble and free, a lam! that flows with inlik and honey so far as the preached gospel of the incarnanatcd son of God are concerned. A place where we as an unmolested people can worship God under our own vine and fig tree, and may we cherish that thought deep down in our hearts and not lose sight of our privileges and although we are engaged in a bloody struggle of warfa io against Germanism and Kaiserism let us remain faithful to our task, and be loyal to our much beloved President and members of Congress, -OF mkhorn Pr ACRES?SUB-DIVI 7 MILES OF Conway, S.

Being brought in the true know- j ledge of Jehovah and the bible, we see from a bibical standpoint that pin is a reproach to any people. We see therefore that sin is disobedience j against the light of the gospel and the conscience and any nation or people or tribe of people that raises a hand of protest against the pro-1 gross of the kingdom of God or the | Church of Christ or any weak brother or sister, brings a reproach upon the one that undertakes such a theme.

The dearest of all was Junior to mama and dady, but the favorite flowers are always plucked first. While he was brcath1 ing his last, a glow of brightness was in his dear little eyes. Junior was a bright little boy. He ! loved his books, and was always obedient and loving to everybody, never lULyrmuring over his little duties.

REACHING HOLLAND Steady Stream Pouring in From Belgium and Northern France \ Amsterdam.?When the Qcvman retirement in Belgian Flanders began it was expected that 250,000 refugees \.culd cek safety in Holland. Up to Saturday night, however, only a small fraction of this number ha 1 arrived. At that time about 7,000 had passed through the wire gates marking the Dutch-Belgian frontier. On Friday alone 4,090 arrived. Ail except thirteen were French people r il. - ? ' ' " % * % 11urn iin.' districts 01 \ aioncionncx, Donai, Canibrai and Quesnoy. There is no congestion a? in 1914. i when the mass of refugees from Uelgium threatened to overwhelm the hurriedly organized bands of willing helpers. This time the stream began trickle in slowly. At first several hundreds arrived each day, but ttm number has increased to thousand-. However there has been time to or ganize at all frontier centers of the Dutch provinces of Hrabant and l.i.n burg, food depots in preparation fo! I committees reporting with the Dutch "Red Cross. So far there have been two main streams. One point of or.try is ! where the Dutch provinces oi" llrabj ant and Limburg meet, and tlie other b- across the Mpiimo riwr intn . j trioht. At these points the fugitives | are registered by the mditary authorities and must undergo a physical examination. Pathetic Scenes. The spectacle of the weary, travei stained war victims toiling through the mud and rain was affecting, and the sufferings of tlie old and infirm j men, women and children on the 150 mile tramp was intense. Most of ! the French civilians had been on tlm I road a month, others six weeks o: j two months. All the French spoke ol the kindness of the Belgian people who shared their food with them, The fatigues of the journey wcrj too much for some of the travelers, The weaker ones died on the way and a few others succumbed soon after reaching Holland. Many of th< refugees are suffering from gripp' and bronchitic affections. Many pathetic incidents occurrei 'during the march.

Scarcely ha 1 she reached neutral soil when the cart overturned and the woman was killed. Distri biding Fugitives. To distribute the fugitives in Hoi! land the government last week ordered the burgomasters of Doventer, Assen, Zutzpathen and Arnhen, I and other provincial towns further north to arrange to accomodate refugees to the extent of two per cent -of the populations of the towns. The fugitives arc being taken to these centers on fourteen special trains carrying one-thousand persons. The i Dutch villagers on the frontier have | rendered efficient first assistance t i the refugees, although food is no' I plentiful as in 1914. At Maastricht great crowds welcomed the rcefu gees by singing the "Marseillaise" and the "Brabantonne" and loaded them with food and dainties. Tlw, IC v. .~:.e ..... i u i'in iniiiu u'i' ai ino Hague has been investigating the possibil ity of deporting the refugees to Pripice through the lil)erated section of Belgium, but the plan i>: not yet feasible as bridges have been blown up and the railways and true ways are in no condition lor use.

These huts will be of the demountable type and will be carried forward with the advancing American armies. If any troops enter Germany the honor huts will cross the Rhine. They will remain with the "policing army," either in Prance or in Germany and will bo splendid testimonials to Europe and to our troops of those American states which have soldier and sailor welfare most keenly at heart.
