How A Congo Leper Kept The Fourth Command-
ment
Here is rebuke to so called^christian America and those who refer
to the movement of requiring observance of the Sabbath as the enforce-
ment of "Blue Laws.
Lomboto-was a Congo native who became a Christian, "but he was
a leper." This story of him is told by the Rev. C. Padfield, of the
Congo Balolo Mission:
j "I noticed that attached to Lomboto's belt were two wee bags, on#
on the left. I also saw that each morning he took a small piece of
barnb-K) out of one of the bags and placed it in the other. I wascuriou3
and asked him why he did it, He replied. I am alone and did no-
know when God's Day came, sol asked Bomolo, when he was here, to
tell me when God's Day came. Next day I commonced to take out of
one bag and put it in the other and I know that when I have passed
over seven pleaes then God s Day has commenced, for I take one piece
each morning when I prav, Did not such fidelity to'God's Day rise
with sweet fragrance to his Lord! 'For,' said Lombote, 'on God's
Day I don't work or talk palavers."

''As I feel that every family
should know what a splendid medi-
cine Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
s, I am only pleased to re late the
experience and only wish that I had
known of its merits years ago,"
writes Mrs. Clay Fry, Ferguson
Station, Mo. "I give it to my
children when they show the slight
est symptom of being croupy, and
when I have a cough or cold on. the
lungs a very few doses will relieve
me, and by taking it for a few days
I soon get rid of the cold,"
OUR SHAMEFUL NEGLECT.
While we as a nation were loud in our praises and in our public
demonstrations when we were sending our boys to the great war and
have tried to do them honor in their return, yet we are seemingly un-
mindful of the fact that many of them are now in need of help and
assistance and we are slow in giving them the aid they need.
Many of our brave soldier boys have returned home disabled and
physically unable to help themselves. They gave their ali for their
country and now thou andso* them are being neglected and forgotten
On this matter the ShreCvport times says
"For these men the wur is not over." the Shreveport Times re-
minds us; and it goes on to say:
"Tfae'nation was grateful, all right, back in thewar.days, when the
foe threatened. The nation was grateful indeed when the flower of
American manhood rcse up in arms and went forth to give battle.
The nation promised much to the boys who fought "Over There.''
And this is the nation that sang so loudly and often ' When You
Corne Back,"
"Well, they come back, many of them ill and disabled, About
'half a million of those brave boys were discharged from service 'with
disability.' Yes, they came back! But it seems that the nation has
forgotten the fine promises that were made upon the eve of battle.
The nation has forgotten its ?olcmn duty.
''The war is over,' Those four words you have often heard since Nov-
ember 11, 1918, 'The war is over, declared politicians in Congress as
they voted away war-time legislation.
"The war is not over for those ve'.erns discharged with disability.'
The war will not be over with them for many rears to come.
"And until the war is over with ti.em, with the last one of them,
jt can not be entirely over fur the rest of us. That much of the w:ir

AMERICA'S COMING BACK
That a moral reform wave, cap-
able in its potentiality of swinging
the pendulum of public convention
back from the risque and lax after
war epoch is fast sweeping over
America is exemplified in reports
from every section of the country.
Blue law agitation, preaehments of
ministers and moralis ts, and abov
all the efforts of law makers to
legislate morals into our every day
living, are some of the outward in-
dications of the moral wave.
What effect of a permanent
nature this sentiment will have is
not apparent just yet. Certainly
people are more seriously consider-
ing their moral relations. Society
as a whole is wakening up to the
ominous evil of 9lip-shod conven-
tions. '
The mere indication that Am-
erica is acknowledging a weakened
moral fibre is wholesome. So long
as an individual or social element
can recover from an ailment it still
has real life in it. Practically every
nation that has fallen, owes it?
demise to nemise to internal decay
along moral and religious lines.
They reached a point where they
were not capable of straightening
up and taking a fresh start.
Immediately alter the war, Am-
erica went on a spree.
Noonccan gainsay that. If it
can sober up and behave itself again
it can't be clrssed as a chronic
sinner. —McAlester News Capital
good for his making good his
pre-elcction promises to cleanup
the county. But this fact is as
true as gospel;,, that he cannot
clean up the countv u :less the
good citizens who helped to elect
him will stand behind him and
help him to do his part. No of-
ficer can do any effective clean-
ing up unless the private citizens
do their duty, and it is just as
much the duty of a private citi-
zen, who knows of violations of
the law, to inform the officers,
as it is the officer to make ar-
rests when warrants are issued
to him, and the citizen who
knows of violations of the law
and fails or refuses to inform the
officers thereof is guilty under
the same law as «the man who
commits the original violation.
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
To look for the real moving force that pushes the trade cam-
paign of the mail order house? In the first placc they arc invariably
a stock company with numerous stockholders who elect a body of
directors to the directorate. This body of directors always gets the
best manager that it is possible to get, one who can get the dollars
out of the business for so he must or he is displaced for someone
who can and' will It matters not if this manager is human and
good hearted, he must needs be out for only the cold clammy d611ars.
No heart is tolerated in corporation control. How often we hear the
saying—"A corporation has no soul." This manager issues the or-
ders to his lesser subjects or subordinates and heads of various de-
partments and they in turn must come up to the test of 'dollar'
g«age. Every edge is made to cut as wide a swath as possible with
eyes only on getting the money. The Money' 'The Money'—nothing
whatever personal about it. Only a veritable soulless machine.

The last three months we have
had all kinds of grumbling about
hard times, Things could notgn

Oreat sums of money were beiug
made by speculation People
were going at a whirlwind rate
of speed, spending money, not
thinking the change would conn
These fast whirl-wind times
could not hold out. It is true
things had to comedown. Some
have come down more than oth-
ers, but all of these things will
be evened up within six months
time. It has been rather a dark
looking time. Most all kind of
manufacturing plants shut down
throwing thou ands of people
out of employment. There never
was a cloud so dark but what the
sun was shining just tfce other
side of it, The worst is over
Some of the big manufacturing
plants have started up again.
Some on part time and some run-
ning full time. In a few weeks
the sun shiny spring day will be
here. Burning and clearing up
land and planting will be seen
on every side. The farmer will
get busy; the village blacksmith
will get busy: the business man
will get busy; the railroads will
get busy preparing for the great
crop of 1921. Some of the big ^
railroads are preparing te spend ™
large sums of money on improve-
ment. This will furnish employ-
ment for a large number of peo-
ple. The worst is over. Just a
little while and everything will
be funning nicely and smoothly
