' \ McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. S, C„ "rTTupar* a v i« 10/11 Robert Toombs t D. S. Stanley (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Camp Cavalcade CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade ^ of American history—such are the men behind the names of the great army cantonments scattered all ovaflt the United States, where young Americans are learning to be soldiers in order to defend their country when the need arises. Camp Toombs, near Toccoa, Ga., is named for one of the most re- mar*kab 1 e men ever produced by that state—Rob ert Toombs (1810- 1885), soldier and statesman. His first military ex perience was as a captain of vol unteers against the Alabama In dians in the 30s, followed by a po litical career that took him to the United States senate from which he was expelled in 1861 because of his advocacy of secession. He could have been pres ident of the new Confederate States of America, but he declined that honor, just as he had declined the offer of cabinet offices under Presi dent Taylor and Fillmore. He did consent to serve briefly as secre tary of state under President Jeffer son Davis, then was commissioned a brigadier-general in the Confed erate army in w^iich _ he served throughout the war. At the close of the conflict he fled to Cuba, lived for a time in England, France and Canada before returning to the Unit ed States. His last years were spent near his birthplace, Washington, Ga. Not long after David Sloan Stan ley (1828-1902), a native of Ohio, was graduated from West Point, he was sent to the Western Plains as a lieutenant of dragoons and started on the ca reer which made him one of the best - known In dian fighters . of his day. But be fore that, there were four years of service in the Union army dur ing which he rose from captain to major-general, and rendered con spicuous service at the battles of New Madrid, Island No. 10, Corinth, luka, Jonesboro, Nashville, Spring Hill, Stone River, Resaca, Ruffs Sta tion and Franklin, where he was des perately wounded but refused to leave the field until the battle was won. After the war, he served against the Indians in the Dakotas, led the famous Yellowstone expedi tion of 1873, fought the redskins in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and brought peace to the Texas frontier by suppressing Indian raids in the Lone Star state. That’s why he is remembered gratefully in Texas and why the camp near Leon Springs bears his name. The name of another great caval ry leader is preserved in the narpe of Camp Wheel er, near Frank- linton, Ga. It hon ors the memory of Joseph T. (“Fighting Joe”) Wheeler (1836- 1906) the “Geor gia gamecock” who was assigned to the dragoons immediately aft er his graduation from West Point in 1859. When he entered the Con federate army he was first made colonel of an infantry regiment and commanded a brigade at the Bat tle of Shiloh. But the next year he was transferred to the cavalry and from that time on he was one of the South’s most daring and success ful raiders. After the death of “Jeb” Stuart in 1864, he was the senior cavalry general of the Confederate armies and rose to the rank of lieu tenant-general. After the war, he studied law and was repeatedly re elected to congress. At the out break of the Spanish-American war, ‘‘Fighting Joe” was again in the saddle as a general of cavalry sent to Cuba to fight the Spaniards. Camp Haan near Riverside, Calif., is also named for a veteran of the Cuban and Philippine campaigns— Brig. Gen. William George Haan, a native of Indiana and a West Point graduate in the class of 1889, who was three times recommended for brevets for “conspicuous conduct in action” from 1898 to 1901. Joseph X. Wheeler Taps “Taps” was originally a signal for retiring in military camps and was played on the drums. Later it was sounded on the bugle, the common est tune, “The Last Post,” being in troduced into this country by the British army during the Revolution. The melody of the present "Taps” was composed by Daniel Butter- worth, a brigadier-general in the Union army. It was first sounded on the bugle by Oliver W. Norton, brig ade bugler, at Harrison’s Landing. Va., in July, 1862. mm \luf JUifnn 6luzmbeM\ NEW DESIGNS FOR YOUR COOKIE JAR (See Recipes Below) COOKIE SURPRISES All crisp, crunchy, and some slightly nutty, all of today’s recipes ^ are so fashioned ^ - as to send you on a real cookie-bak ing spree.

W LYNN SAYS: An assortment of cookies, freshly baked and packed in tins with waxed paper between layers makes a delightful present for youngsters away at school and for friends you seldom see. When your own cookie jar has been filled to bulging, pack a few boxes from what you have and spread cheer to others, too. Careful packing in tins with waxed paper will keep even small dainty cookies fresh for a long time. Some flavors like choco late improve after they stand for some time. Chewy, nutty cookies are the more chewy and deli cious after several days. Spicy cookies become moist and well flavored after standing.

'“IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 19 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se- lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR HELPER LESSON TEXT—John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8; Ro mans 8:26-28; Galatians 5:22-26. GOLDEN TEXT—As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.— Romans 8:14. Nothing could be more practical or blessed for and in the life and service of the believer than an understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit; yet it is a subject concerning which most Christians are woefully ignorant. Before taking up the work of the Spirit as it appears in our lesson, we should understand that the Holy Spirit is a person, not an influence which may exert itself upon a serv ice, or a power which a man may obtain and use. He—the Spirit—is one of the Trinity, with the at tributes of a person, doing the work of a person and always referred to as a person in Scripture. (When “it” is used of the Holy Spirit in the A.V. it will be found to be cor rected to “him” in the R.V.) What then does this divine person do? The work of creation was His as one of the Godhead. He regen erates, He teaches. He comforts. He leads. He calls and qualifies Chris tian workers. He is the divine author of the Bible. These and many other things He does, this One who indwells the believer as the ever-present Guide and Counselor. The Christian is I. Born of the Spirit (John 3:5-8). The new birth is indispensable to entrance into the kingdom of God. We either enter that way or we do not enter at all. Let’s be clear about that. “Ye must be born again” is not the edict of a church or the plea of a preacher; it is the plain statement of our Lord Himself (v. 5). The Holy Spirit is indispensable to regeneration. We must be bom of the Spirit. How it takes place we can no more explain than the coming or going of the wind, but just as the power of the wind is known to us by clear evidence, so the regen erating power of the Spirit, myste rious though it be in operation, is known to us by the evidences of re deeming grace in a man’s life. II. Empowered by the Spirit (Acts 1:8). Spiritual birth calls for service for Christ. For that we must have the power of the Holy Spirit. A man may do many ordinary things in the strength of his own body and mind (although even these ought always to be under the Spirit’s con trol), but when he comes to wit nessing for Christ, teaching or preaching God’s Word, he must have Holy Spirit power or he is ut terly ineffective. IH. Directed by the Spirit (Rom. 8:26-28). The guidance of the Holy Spirit, especially in the matter of prayer, is stressed in these verses, but they are a part of a longer passage deal ing with the indwelling, enabling, and guiding power of the Holy Spirit (read w. 9-14). Every detail of life in the home, at business, or in social relations should be in con scious submission to His leading. It is in the realm of the spiritual, however, that ' we find ourselves peculiarly infirm (v. 26), and this shows itself especially in prayer— “we know not how to pray as we ought.” Then the Spirit in the Christian makes intercession. How blessed! “The practical meaning of these profound words seems to be that the divine Spirit, by His im mediate influence in the saint’s soul, which becomes as it were the organ of his own address to the Father, secures the rightness of the essence of the saint’s prayer. To our under standings such intercessions with groanings which cannot be uttered, take the form of desires of ours, inspired and secured by Him. In any special case of prayer, the saint may or may not use words; but any wise the root-desires that underlie the prayer, being the Holy Spirit’s promptings, are unutterable to the full. In the heart the Father sees below the surface of our ignorance the sacred longings which are the expression of the Spirit’s influence” (H. C. G. Moule). IV. Walking in the Spirit (Gal. 5: 22-26). Being born again of the Spirit, living daily by the Spirit, it is right that (as v. 25 puts it) “if we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” The works of the flesh, horrible in their wickedness and lust, are listed in the verses preced ing (w. 19-21), and then by striking contrast we have the fruit of the Spirit In the life of the Christian. Note the distinction: Work is some thing we produce; fruit is some thing that grows. Walking in the Spirit the Chris tian finds in his life the inward graces of love, joy, and peace. These then express themselves out wardly in longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. The Spirit-filled man is not only a good man; he lives a good life.
