Burton Farmers Club.

Thursday, Feb. 6, our club was enter
tanned at the home of Mr.. and Mrs j.
Sherman. The weather being unfav-
orable, few of the members evidently
preferred to stay at home by the fire
rather than brave the cold; however,
our company numbered about thirty,
besides several invited guests.
Mr. Randall, our new president, called
the meeting to order and after the
opening piece of music appointed Mr..
Fred Love, as chaplain for the next six
months. After the scripture lesson was
read and prayer offered committees
were appointed. Next on the program
was the questions, which brought out
some discussion on different subjects.
Mr.. Mason was asked if the governor
was justifiable lin calling an extra ses-
sion of the legislature. He said, Eyes,
If the subject to be considered be of
sufficient Importance. He thought it
would pay to call an extra session for
the purpose of considering the primary
election bill, as it is not likely to get a
fair hearing at the regular session.
We then adjourned, and after partak-
ing of bountiful dinner spent some
time in social chat before resuming the
discussions. Some of the subjects re-
ceiving attention were: Table man
ners, dish washing machines, and the
value of good shepherd dog to the
farmer.
us it cruel to dehorn cattle2" Some
thought it cruel; others thought the
cruelty was in not dehorning them
Some favored the breed of cattle that
have no horns; others did not like them,
and probably those gentlemen each and
all ''are of the same opinion still" The
township unit system was also consid-
ered-with the same results-the pres
ent system good enough. The improve
ment of our country schools is going to
progress slowly at first. We all want
to seel practical demonstration before
consenting to make any change.
New and practical inventions" was
the subject for.the afternoon, but there
did not seem.to be any worth mention
| ing, as time was limited, or something,
and after short discussion of the state
subject the program for the next meet
ing was read.
Each member is to respond at roll
call with a quotation, then after the
questions are answered we will have
discussion of the associational topic,
What s.mosts needed for the improve
ment of our highways?

First M. e. Church.

At First M. e. church Sunday even
ing, the text of the sermon was: "Let
the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; and
return unto the Lord, for He will
abundantly pardon" This offer is for
all sinners, to forSake their wicked
ways, to repent, and they will find
mercy and pardon. Many people be-
lieve that they were never intended
to be saved; that is wrong idea.
God loves every sinner and He did not
send any one to this world to be lost
finally; He intends that all shall be
saved il they only will be, and they
can be. Fathers with little ones who
are following in parents steps,
should be so careful not to lead those
little ones away from the right path.
Some say, "when the last hour comes
l II repent of my sins and be forgiven. u
But is it not better to do so now while
you are in health. When the last
hour comes and death stares you in
the face, it is hard thing to repent
then. Won't you do it now? God is
waiting and ready to pardon.

Corunna Avenue M. e. Church.

The morning sermon by the pastor
was the first in series on the "Rites
and Observances of the Church."
The special subject being, "The
Origin and Purpose of Christian Bap-
tism." -Four propositions were dis
cuSSed:
l. The rite of baptism originated
from the rites OF purifying practiced
by the Hebrews.
2 The rite of baptism Symbolizes
the work of the Holy Spirit.
3. 1t emphasizes the christian com.
plete separation from the old life Of
sin.
a. 1t marks the christians incor-
poration into the spiritual body Of
Christ. Baptism thus becomes an
object lesson ever keeping the church
in mind Of the essential work Of the
Holy Spirit in purifying the soul from
sin and imparting spiritual life.
The evening sermon discussed some
phase Of life both in and out of the
church, which will cause grief to men

AsburY Church.

Unusual interest was manifested
Sunday at both services in the AS
bury church, and splendid congre-
CATION greeted the pastor, Rev. James.
Chapman, at both services. The
morning service was memorable one
not alone in the history Of the church,
but also in the hearts of a large class
OF practitioners, who for the first time
made public confession in the public
acknowledgment Of their saving faith
in Jesus Christ, by coming into the
fellowship Of this church. During
the special services of five weeks, fifty
four came to the altar as seekers, and
over one-half of these adults. Sunday
morning a class of thirty-seven was
received, and in the evening class Of
seven, with still more to follow. After
the reception in the morning Rev. Jas.
Chapman preached a very helpful SER
mon to the candidates taking for his
subject, "How to Live a Christian
basing his remarks on Col. 1851: GAS
ye have therefore received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk We in him.
Rooted and built up In him, and es-
tablshed in the faith, as we have been
taught Astounding therein with thanks
giving" After preliminary introduc.
tion relative to the class, Rev. Chap
man gave as the main divisions of his
subject:
l. We need pure atmosphere = Here
he touched upon prayer.
2 Suitable food is requisite. Pro-
vided for us in the word OF God.
3. Pure water is also necessary to
health. An impure water supply pro-
ducss malaria, fever, death. But
there Is river, the streams whereof
make glad the city of our God.
4. Exercise is necessary. Exercise
myself unto Goodness. That is do all
the good you can, for nothing will
take the place OF christian service.
The pastor then closed with faith as
one OF the essential things necessary,
revealing the fact that 1t was the very
breath Of the soul.
Rev. D. M. Canright preached
very helpful sermon in the evening,
and the Asbury orchestra which led

What splendid type of tireless
activity is the sun as the psalmist
describes it issuing like "a bridegroom
from his chamber and rejoicing like a
strong man to run race" Every man
ought to rise in the morning refreshed
by slumber and renewed by rest, eager
for the struggle of The day. But how
rarely this is so. Most people rise still
unrefresbed, and dreading the strain
of the days labors. The cause Of this
is deficient vitality and behind this lies
a deficient supply of pure, rich blood,
and an inadequate nourishment of the
body. There is nothing that will give
a man strength and energy, as will Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
does this by increasing the quantity and
quality of the blood supply. This
nourishes the nerves, feeds the brain
builds up enfeebled organs, and gives
that sense of strength and power which
makes the struggle of life joy. The
good feeling" which follows the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due
TO stimulation as it contains no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant. 1t does
not brace up the body. but builds it up
into condition of sound health.
