Pray daily that God’s will may be done in all things.

The next meeting will be held in the Fairfield Methodist church, January 6, 1929. ---o B. Y. P. U. NOTES It has been a real pleasure and joy to have Miss Marguerite Harrison to come and teach a study course at the Fairfield and Rose Bay churches. She is a charming Christian worker. She made m? n friends while in Hyde County from October 8-18. We welcome her back with us. * * * The B. Y. P. U. district meeting was held at Rose Bay Church on the night of October 18.

A large crowd* is expected. Enjoy the evening together with the association. Every parent of Fairfield Township urged to be present. —Secretary. -o In September issue of The Hyde County Messenger, on page .4 was printed an article entitled “Knights of Columbus Oath,” which is an extract from the Congressional Record of February 13, 1913; 62nd Congress, 3rd session, Book 294, page 3216, room J 11, R 5. Sufficient evidence has come into my hands from the Congressional record to show this oath is not true. Below I give the speech of Hon. William Kettner, which is self-explanatory. The editor of The Messenger does not stand for printing things that are not true and know they are not true. It is ready to correct an error when made. It is not his intention to distribute false propaganda.—Editor. EditorialjGtfmmeni The magazine is concerned chiefly with spiri tual things. It does not give much attention to political issues except when a great moral issue is involved, then it is our duty to spqak. Shall the Eighteenth Amendment be sustained? Shall there be a repeal of the Volstead Act? Shall Rome and Rum sit in the President’s chair? Shall countless children again go poorly clad and again cry for bread? Shall the saloon, the curse of any nation, be brought back? We won na tional prohibition state by state. Now shall we elect as President one who favors the return of it state by state. Mr. Alfred E. Smith favors leaving it up to each state. Now we will not have the saloon back in any form if Christian voters do their duty on election day. What damage could a wet President do? Read what Dr. E. H. Cherrington, General Secretary of the World League against Alcoholism, says: “Foes of prohibition seek to elect a wet for President. They do not care whether he is a Republican or a Democrat, nor from what sec tion of the country he comes, nor what is his religion or political record. All they desire is that he shall be wet. “They are seeking to deceive the public by promulgating the false propaganda that now that prohibition is in the Federal constitution and laws, election of a wet President would mean no harm to the prohibition cause. “These wets realize what too few of the friends of prohibition seem to realize, that such a man, by virtue of the administrative, judicial and other appointments in his power to make can hamstring prohibition, and that as titular head of his own political part he would exert tremendous influence on the congressmen and senators of both parties. “The president appoints all members of his own cabinet. He names all federal judges, fills vacancies on the United States Supreme Court and appoints all United States district attorneys, all federal marshals and many other officials directly concerned with the enforcement of law. “He could veto all appropriations for enforce ment of prohibition, making it necessary for Congress to pass such appropriations by a two thirds vote over his veto. His messages to Con gress would carry recommendations for weak ening prohibition and its enforcement.” Christian men and women, keep these say ings in mind, and do your duty at the polls. Protestants and Christians of any name should not support Rome and rum to such a position of prominence and power. -o NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL HOOD MEN AND WOMEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY Paul, in closing his letter to the Church at Ephesus, urged that we put on the whole armor of God: “Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the princi palities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.”—Eph. 6:10-12. Note again Paul’s charge to the young preacher, Timothy: “I charge thee, therefore, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appeairng and His kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heat to them selves teachers having itching ears; and they
