A QUESTION FROM'
-Mr. J. C. By am,
Bristol. Va.,
Dear Sir:
As you : re a cm.lMate for Con
gress, may l .i'„ a u question? -
This is a Christian nation and nil
t-vc'r oir land are churches erected
at wh* ,’h to worshl > our blessed
1-ord and Savl :Jesus Christ.
There »*<• in our dear old state,
tie n w ho truly love Christ and who
would die before they world know
ingly deny him. far there is no
other name whereby we must bo
saved.
Soon we shall all stand before
the bar of God. Sow in his name,
I appeal to you and ask,—have
you done your duty as you have
gono up and down In your district.
In instructing the people to whom
3on have spoken? Have you shown
them what it means to vote Tor a
1 nit a rian whose very creed denies
that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God? if this wero true, then pull
down your Christian churches, turn
out every preacher of Christ and
drive ie dear children frm the
bunday-Schools.
See that man hiving around Hi"
family nlta* and earnestly invok
mg Christ to rare for and bloss his
family, and then go to the poll
and vote fer a man who denies Hi
Divinity of his Christ. See that
^ainouc on his knees before the
( ruciflction with Iris tearful eyes
fixed on the Cross, begging Christ’s
forgiveness and mercy and then vot
ing for a Unitarian for president o
*he l nited States. M’as the spear
that pierced his dear side on Calvary
any more cruel than such a thrust
would be? Would not the man who
so voted, teach his children there
by that it :s only a trivial matter
to deny the Divinity of Christ?
Would aot the election of a Unbar
ian give Infidelity In this land an
impetus and cause devils to re
joice.’ How will a man who so
votes explain his vote to Christ at
the day of judgment?. * This he
will surely have to do.
1 wo Christian men, Mr. Garnett
of Ruckingham and Mr. Robinson
of Danville, who were electors on
the Republican ticket, have for the
reasons I have stated, refused to be
voted for as electors or to vote for
Judge Taft. I praise God that in
Virginia there are a host of good
and true men who love Christ more
than they love party, and who, ir
they know the facts, will not vote
for any man who denies the Divini
ty of God’s own Son.
Our people are sending many mis
sionaries and millions of dollars in
to mission fields with the ono ob
ject of inducing the heathen world
to know and to love Jesus Christ
as the Son of God and thereby be
saved. Now if Judge Taft were
elected President of the United
states, tfhat can our missionaries
do? Suppose a missionary were ad
dressing a thousand intelligent Jap
anese and telling them how that
Jesus Christ is the Son of o d and
died for them and shou'd beg tit >m
to turn to him and be saved. nt>d
one should rise up and say. ‘ Your
own so-called Christian nation has
just elected a man President of the
United States, who says that what
you Bay Is not true and do you
expect us to believe it?” The crowd
would walk off in disgust. Are men
who love God willing to put such
a ban upon the truth and thus to
embarrass every missionary who is
telling the poor heathens the sweet
story of Jesus and h s love?
Auoiner question: What Is the
difference between voting for Judge
Taft, and for a man who is running
on the tiflttif t. k< t and intends to
vote for Judge Ta t himself and is
doing all he can to induce others
to vote for him? I find the people
as a rule, to he honest and they
want to know the truth and again I
ask, have you anti your associates
done your duty In this matter?
There is nothing pol c.ca] In this
letter. I care little for the great
panic but In the ame of the (Jod
whom I am trying to serve, J im
plore -he American people not to
vote for Judge Taft and his allies
and thereby turn their harks upon
Hod s Son through w.to-;e blood
alone men r an be saved from heil.
Your* very truly,
J>. B STROP8K.

The « harm of Duncan Irving, the
chief character in “Classmate*,”
w'hich will lie played by Norman
Haekett ahd a large company at the
Klks Theatre on October the «7th
lies not so much in what the other
characters say of him as in what
he really is and does. “Classmates”
s not a talky play, but an acting
one, and Duncan Irving does not
rely upon the good word of his
friends for his position in the dra
ma. hut upon ills own sterling qual
ith'S. No one can see him in one
act of the play ami not know him
to be a man of sweet and fine honor.
His eyes and his words carry con
viction to everyone that he is the
possessor of a clean and honest soul.
Duncan Irving as a man is Innately
critical. A reticent man as to his
own thoughts and feelings, he takes
an in ward measurement of every
one with whom he comes in contact
— often the reverse of what ha.l
l)« en supposed. It hurts him to ac
knowledge defects lu others and he
has the Impersonal sense of justice
hwlch allows for good qualities in
those who are congenial to him.
\nd so. even to his rival, Hert Staf
ford. he is chivalrous to the danger
point. Hut once his honor i.i aro.t_
r i. once he finds that il is ills fath
ers good name that Stafford is drag
;ing in the ni re, all cant < a, all re
iralnt leave him and ho strikes a
blow that ruins his life.
THEM IS SHLLTHERE
1' lero’s a tender reminiscence that
is surging through my soul
\s I gaze upon the doughnut with
a thin ring 'round the hole;
Tis a memory abiding of the halc
yon days of yofe
When 1 hollered for "protection”
and demanded "four years more,
. u.l kept up a campaign singing in
a very lusty tone
i hat just what the country needed
was “let well enough alone.”
' X >w the captains have departed,
hushed the loud, tumultuous din,
A *(l the dinner pall Is empty—but
the tux is on the tin.
\ < s, the dinner pall is empty, but
the tax is on the tin;
/ : il the tax upon my clothes, and
the clothing wearing thin,
j lit re’s tax upon the cradle of the
babe of which I’m proud;
There’s a tax upon my table, there’ll
he one upon »ny shroud,
V s, 1 cried out for “protection”
till my throat was raw and
hoarse,
.. II got it, O 1 got it—but ’twas
.n the neck, of course,
l s, the promise was as empty as
the argument was thin,
(1 the dinner pail is empty—but
the tax is on the tin.
/our years more” we gaily shout
ed ’ we’ll let well enough alone!”
i the tariff soup was gobbled by
the trusts—we get the bone.
A’orkingmeu must have protec
tion.” was our rousing battlecry,
/ i 1 the tariff barons cheered us as
we marched so proudly by.
X »w the barons have departed to
yay scenes in Paris, France,
1 the badge of our protection is
he patch upon our pants,
ul we lift the lid and ponder as
we sadly gaze within
i lit although the pail is empty,
atlll the tax is on the tin.
•kefellor has hi» millions that he
rabbed through tariff graft;
rnegle has juBt as many, and
they’re both of them for Taft.
.\ >rgan, Havemeyer, Dupont, and
the whole protection bunch
Live in fatness while yours truly
only gets hot ulr for lunch.
Once a pall filled to repletion, now
a doughnut with a hole.
And "piotection" that's as scanty
as a tariff grafter's soul.
O. they fooled us good and plenty
just as soon as they got In,
For the dinner pall is empty—but
the tax is on the tin.

Every woman desires a good com
plexion, but oft-times either ruins
the one she has or falls to gala one
by the paint and powder method she
employs. A good complexion Is from
within and can’t be painted or pow
dered on. Two things are necessary
In order to be the possessor of a
good complexion. A healthy action
of the liver and good rich blood.
