A SOLDIER'S THOUGHTS. I am not complaining, mother, -But the truth is very special I wish I had obeyed you And little sister Ethel And bad not joined the army For Uncle Sam to fight Although be has sufficient cause . For wbst is just and right. Do you remember the dsy I bade you all good bye I And not a tear waa there Within my -hopeful eye. My thought were all for glory, Nohsrdships could I see For I supposed when I csine back A hero I would be. I had a good position V Was making money too I left all and came. To join the boys in blue, From duty I'll not shrink , But by my fate sbide. Yet do often think, Of that dear old -fireside. Only a few years since When I was but child. My heart went forth to liesr 1 The struggles fierce and wua; jo i unu .n As a child to sit and think than to be a real soldier. Thinzs are not what they seem. And persons not what they appear, When you go to church They will seat you in the rear. They seldom ssk you uacn And never home to tea, Thev seem to think you are nothing ' And nothing will ever be. We didn't loin the army For the work or for the play" But we csme to stop brutality And ive the world fair play. -We left our homes and loved ones All for the people'a sske For the people are tne naniou And their honor was at stake.. W know there are some bad ones' Among ns here and there. But the smallest patch of grain, Will always hsve a tare; t And I think it Barmy ngnt , To let all go to waste - Because there are some parti That do not suit your tsste, Tf we are all soldiers We are not all the same; N For what the bad ones do, , The good should not be blamed; , But it seems to me It is the people'a way, To judge a nocx oi neiF By the one that goes satray.

Local Editor: I want to take for my subject Love. Did you know that love ! "o reategt thing on earth I Did you know tliat if God loves us. we ought to God and hate anyone, for the Bible tells you so. I wsnt you to turn to your Holy - Bible, and read the first, second and third Epistle of John and eee what it tells you shout love, the love of God. The Scrip - - ture also ssys: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever belie veth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Friends, I am glad to say that I love the Lord, and I want to arva him tilt the end. -1 want to go to that Heaven that Jesus is preparing for me. You can have the same privilege if. you serve the Lord. I am glad there is not a one t'tat I hate. I love all because it is the love thst God gave me. I am glad to say that there is not a night passes over my head but what I prsy. (Friends, if you claim to be a child of God, you must not forget to prsy for prayer is the msin thing to do. Learn to love God, and the Savior Jesus Christ:" Prepare yourself for heaven for if you miss heavn you miss it all. THOMAS MYERS. Winston-Salem. N. C. R. 1 B. 166 From a High Point, N. C. Cousin. Local Editor: There is one subject I wish, the cousins would drop, that's H. and K. for there is no good in it. Wait a minute, I see Susie Johnson coming in. Hope she, don't take a seat by me. I think she is getting too uneasy about her soul. But she can't saMTTtar soul, if she thinks so she must be s ststue. It seems thst she boasts too much about what she does. Now. we will talk about our debt. Oh! isn't it awful to think that Mr. Wilson has got our nation in debt six billion dollars. I guess if they had ot in the White House four more years we would be in twelve billion. 1 sure am glad that I csn say "Hurrah" for. Harding. I had a father, mother, two sisters and three brothers-in-law to vote straight Republican tickets. Etta Shields you are right about your vote. Always vote Republican tickets. I'll tell you wnc I am. Everybody knows there are some Primitive Baptist preachers. "Oh, an old Hardshell,'1 I heard Susie ssy.. Well, yea know Elder 8amuel McMillon. Well, 1 hear what you say Susie, but I am hit. aaugnter and live in the county of Guil ford, town of High Point, and I'll ssy this i is some good old Republican town too. 1 1 am glad to ay the majority of the. United States are Republicans and the majority of Democrats are Roman Catholics. They Influenced the National campaign wtiicn elected Wilson, and his Private Secretary is a Catholic. Over 70 per cent of ail the appointments made by President Wil son are Catholics. Five states hsve Catho lic administrations. Thirty-one have Roman Catholic Democratic Central t'oin mittees. Twenty thousand public schools hsve one-half Catholio teachers. Over 100, 000 public scnoois .are largely taught by Catholic teachers. - Six hundred schools use Catholic readers. Sixty-two per cent of -all offices of the United States, both elective snd appointive, sre now held by Romsn Catholics. New York City, Chica go. Baltimore, Philsdelphis, Buffslo Cleveland, Toledo. St. Louis, Los Angeles, Ssn Francisco-, and Boston now have 7: per cent atiiolic teachers in their public schools. Jioman Catholics are in the ma jority of the city Counril of 15,000 cities snd towns of United States. Roman Catholics in 90 per cent of the esses, were criminals thst are executed. The man who shot Roosevelt was s Catholic. Thi man who shot president McKinley was a uatnollc. Uhe man who ahot Garfield waa a Catholic, also the men that aliot Linroli was a Catholic. More than sixty-five per cent of prisoners, convicts of sll grades are Catholics. These things sre swful t think sbout thst the Democratic partv is ipaaing me uitnoiirs to rule tne world we should be sstonished when we think that only about 12V4 per rent of the entire population of the United States sre Romsn . r.thiiM vhii. tt,. w a7iz . ,re Bot.

Local Editor: As 1 was- reading a letter from Guilford county and was much interested in the subject that it was written on I decided to write a short let ter which I hope may be of some help to some one. I don't enjoy resding sny letters better thsn I do the religious ones. I want to call your attention to St. Mat thew oth chapter. "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," etc. I wonder- how many of us keep! these commandments f I am afraid ther sre s great many of us thst do not "let! your light so shine before men thst they! may see your good works, and floi-ijfy your .father which is in heaven." see that some of the cousins believe in criticism. St. Matthew, 7:3. If we could only see our own faults as good ss we csn see someone else's it seems to me thst we Would do much better. Therefore al things whatsoever ye would thst men should do to you, do ye even so to them; love your enemies, bless them that curse you. ! Do good to them that hate you, snd pray; for them that despitefuj-ly use you snd (persecute you.

From a Lee County Cousin. Loieal Editor: . I will take for ray sub ject this time "Discouragement Which We Often Meet in Life." Mr. Discouragement, did j'oB ever hear of him! I am quite sure i some of you know him. He is one Of this best known chsrsrters in the world today sndhe's responsible for mn-e fail ures and unfinished tasks in life thsn sny other one "person." People in all walks and (conditions of life listen to him snd too snany of them believe; what he says. The pther day he csme to a boy who had s big lesson to get in arithmetic. When he sat down to the problems, Mr. Dis couragement came snd just camped right on his trail. "It ean't be done." he whispered, "you never can do all that stuff The teacher had no business giv ing jyou such s stiff lesson." and the longer he looked at the lesson the harder it seemed to get and after, a while he be gan -to get awfully bine and said, "No. it can't be done. I can't do all th.it stuff It's ; too much for me."vSo instesd of tryinjg to do as much ss he could he went off and left the whole thing. Did you ever; hear of a boy or girl who had an experience of this kind! ; But there are ottief places besides school where Mr Discburs gment hangs out. The other dy tbere wss a man who had set his ambi tion on one of the professions. The day after he made his decision he ate too muck supper and hia head wasn't feeling very well. 'You know. Mr. Discourage ment likes to come s round when you're feeling all out of sorts for he hss a better chance st you then so he just came around and tapped this lad on - the shoulder. "Sajr," he began,, "did you. really mean whst you said, today about wanting to study for that profession!"' "Sure I did.T declared the boy. "why!" "Well, you I sre awfully foolish, that's all. It csn't be done. You ean'lj do it anyway. Look at so-and-so snd sb-and-so " he reeled off a whole list of chaps who had tried to reach some high plane of useful ness! and had failed. And he got thst boy to feeling terribly downhearted. Why he resllv got to believing that it wasn't worth while trying to do anything in life except onti aiong ana ne enaen oy giv- ng iup all his plans for professional life because he has never thought of the hun- dreds who hsd succeeded, but Just the fewj who had foiled. But before I get ' through I want to tell you cousins about another hoy. He started out in. busineae by working in an office and he started out wits the ides of sometime reaching the top.i So he determined that he would br faithful in the little things, would work justi ss csrefully when .sweeping the floor as thoueh he were keeping books or hand- linff the firm's money as you know by this time. Mr. Disconrsgement came alone nrnimotlon and all that by giving honest, faifhful services by doing every task you vi to do faithfully and y being abso- lately sausre. - Let me tell you, boy, it eani't be done. The boy who wants to get -hesd these dsvs needs a pull, that's all. There is favoritism all through business. , I know dons of boys -who started ont 1 ih vone ides thst got a-bead awfnlly slow. Aftef awhile they changed their methnda. Thev weren't -onite as Tjartirn- lar BOUl oeing airaign. ; in mu .no inur hiigs and todsy they ere on the top. I tell you there is ne ensnee lor siow-gotng, onet hoy. to o ahead." But-this 'boy hsd beard Mr. Discouragement talk before and be knew just how to answer him bsck. H: lnoVed Hm right sqnsre. in he eyes and said, "Tom look her. Mr. Lharonrag meht. You're wrong. It can be done and J sm going to do it. I am going to nrevn that your ides Is s sbsolutely f alae. Ton. watch me.' So the boy went strsighS' -head; worked as taithlnuy es ne Knew iow gsve en honest return for every dollar his employer spent on him end nefler left a task nntil he wss unable to make it better. In time be renoed harveat of what he had sown. . His com party wanted a particular piece ef work tinna that called for strict integrity in another locality. He was the one nicked out for it. The next thn Mr. Discourage mest or anyone else tells yott thst a thing fsn't fee done show him that it csn be don tty soing in ana amnr it. nm -an vrnr all mail. I.KS.K COIaET, fisnford, N.
