CONCERNING HELL.
Next Sunday morning at the
Presbyterian church, the pastor's
subject will be, "The What and
the Where Concerning Hell."
Since the war this whole subject
of the future life is being discuss-
ed with an interest not being at-
tached to it for many years. The
gates of eternity having been la-
terally stormed by millions of all
grades of morals, it is a whole-
some sign that people are inquir-
ing as to their possible condition
in the future. Some think patriot-
ism unto death is all that is es-
sential to safety. Multitudes have
utterly repudiated the idea of
"Brimstone and fire." In fact it is
rare that a sermon is heard on re-
tribution in any form. Is this not
a condition calling for serious re-
flection? If material fire has pass'
ed out of the consideration, are we
to conclude that there are no
other means of justice, that there
is no peril attending evil, that
saints and reprobates are going to
enjoy the same conditions in the
life to come? In other words, are
we living under a government that
has no premium on character, that
takes no account of vice and vir-
tue? Many are living as tho death
ended all. You are earnestly in-
vited to come and think this great
question oyer with us.
the coast of Scotland in February,
1918, when she was torpedoed and
sank, with a loss of about 300
lives, being the only transport
successfully attacked during the
war bearing American troops. An-
other Garvin County boy, Oscar
Carlton, who lives near McCarty
in this county, was
same vessel, but escaped death
after a thrilling experience. Pri-
vate Bishop was safely in a life-
boat, according to the best infor-
mation obtainable, but the life-
boat occupied by him is supposed
to nave drifted away in the rough
seas, and several days thereafter
his body was washed ashore on the
coast of Scotland, where he was
buried among the victims of the
terrible tragedy.
Private Bishop was born and
raised in the Foster community of
this county, and has numerous rel-
atives in that vicinity, among
whom is Henry Bishop, a black-
smith, and widely known in that
community.

comrade, Private John B. Bishop,
at Foster cemetery on Sunday af-
ternoon at two-thirty o'clock. If
there is any duty we owe to our

see that they are given a burial in
keeping with the great sacrifice
they made for their country.
Accordingly, it is desired that
every service man who possibly
can be present on that occasion
and take appropriate part in the
ceremonies. It is hoped that as
many of the boys as possible will
meet in uniform at Foster at two
o'clock on Sunday afternoon. It is
not required, however, that the
men, except the pall-bearers and
firing squad, be in uniform. Lend
your aid and sympathy by being
present, regardless of whether you
are a member of our organization
or not.
The returned service men of
Robberson, Foster, and Elmore

A few folks are much like that. They have good

is nothing to worry about. But only their heads are
covered. Adversity would catch them completely
exposed.
There is only one defense against ill-fortune.
