teJnational Bible Students' Asso-
ciation, addressed an audience
at the Crescent Theatre Sunday
afternoon: In part Mr. Williams
remarked:
"No subject is of more import-
ance and there is no subject upon
which the people are more divid-
ed than scriptural study. , This
should not be. Ve are not try-
ing to set up another "new"
creed there are .too many al-
ready. We are trying to set the
people closer together, and to
assist them in seeing the beauti-
ful harmony of the Bibie's
teachings on God's great plan of
redemption, and as a result stir
the people to a more carefnl
study of the Bible; hoping, too,
that it may be recognized as the
inspired word of God. See Isa.
1:18; 2 Tim. 2-15.
Let us be honest with God, His
word, our neighbors and our-
"XBelves. Inquiring further we
see at a glance that Jehovah, in
creating the earth as his foot
stool and man to occupy it sb his
representative, surely, was able
in the designing of this place to
arrange for him whom He creat
ed, in case he in anyway failed,
thereby carrying out all his pur-
poses and at the same time give
His creatures some wonderful
lessons, much needed to fix him
against sin and disobedience and
in every way allow him such ex
perience, while under God's just
sentence of death that would
enable him to stand or fall by his
own acceptance or rejection with-
out effecting any other creature,
and in the meantime, during this
present reign of sin, allow such
conditions to exist as would pro-
duce a population sufficient to
fill the earth 'ere thej expiration
of 700(f years. 6000 of which have
already been fulfilled. Gen.l:26-

Miss Von Bluecher, a Texas girl.
The letter in regard to atrocities
reads as follows:
"I will only tell you what I
know and have seen myself. In
Wesel, a border town, I wit-
nessed how a French doctor was
being shot He had been caught
trying to poison wells with chol-
era and pest bacilli. Here at
Dusseldorf a German captain is
being nursed whose both legs
were cut off with a woodsaw by
erence to tne opinion recently
rendered by the court of crimi-
nal appeals in the Elmer Poode
case, the attorney general ren-
dered an opinion today waich
points out clearly that the court's
opinion in no way affected the
provisions of the act which pro-
hibits soliciting or taking orders
for intoxicating liquors in dry
territory. It develops that since
this opinion was rendered by the
higher court certain newspapers
have carried liquor advertise-
ments, which the attorney gen-
eral holds is strictly against sec-
tion 6 of the Allison law, which
is no way affected by the court's
Belgians, when ho fell into their opinion. Newspapers carrying
bands lying wounded and help
less on the battlefield.
"An English doctor is prisoner
here who was caught nailing
German wounded soldiers to a
barndoor by their hands and feet.
He was wounded before being
captured and his wounds are
now being treated, and then he
will be courtmartialed and shot.
"Local newspapers write that
English soldiers carry a special
instrument for putting out eyes.
They bring photographs of such
instruments. "-Austin Statesman

Gentry Tells Experience
In every stage of life big
things are dependent upon little
things. This applies to the can-
vas shows as much as to any
othe". Frank Gentry of Gentry
Brothers shows, which will ex-
hibit here next Wednesday, in
childhood was like other bojs.
"I was 10 years old," says Mr.
Gentry, ''when the first show of
any size came to our town. My
father gave me the price of two
tickets and a great big silver
dollar. With my brother I went
to the show. About the middle
of the performance a man came
around selling peanuts, popcorn,
and such stuff. Our boyish pal-
ates coveted the luxuries, ldug
up the dollar and handed it to
the man. He put it in his pock-
et and I got no change.
"In the score of years that my
brothers and myself have been
in the show business not a pat-
ron has been short changed, nor
the confidence of a youngster
betrayed. We attribute more of
our success to that fact than to
any other feature of our shows."
Gentry Brothers shows have
always jnade a specialty of cater-
ing to ladies and children. The
children that they delight daily
range in age from three to
ninety-three years.
