Very Unbecoming

Louisburg Times.
We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front of
our office the other day. His NOUS
tache he'd just begun to sprout and
judging from his talk his mental
faculties were not as we'll developed
as his moustache. During our brief
stay upon earth we have seen many
just such young men, cold in death.
his casket, but before being consigned
to their last resting place they have
all been carried through the door of
a church and had prayers said over
them. This young man could scott at
religion in his strength and beauty Of
health, but if the dark angel should
get after him he would instinctively
regret what he said and look into the
future with fear and trembling. When
one stands before the open door OF
eternity his desire TO scott at religion
vanishes. We admit there are bad
men in the church, but even these
black sheep in the flock might be
blacker If they were outside. No
young man, or old one either, should
condemn the noble efforts of the
army of Christian men and women
who are making towards lettering the
condition of things, and whether we
attend church OF not but few OF Ut
would desire TO live in community
where there was no church. Young
man, in the future, If you must SCOT
at religion, please get little further
from our office if you do not want t.
zee your name in print.

Gentlemen -
It's sound sense that we tell you.
1t will cost less dollars to paint your
church with L. & M. Paint, because
more painting is done with one gallon
OF L. & M. than with two gallons OF
other paints, and the L. & M. Zinc
hardens the L. & M. White Lead and
makes the l.. & NJ. Paint wear like
iron.
Any church will be given a liberal
quantity free whenever they paint.
4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gal
Ions Linseed Oil will paint moderate
sized house.
L. & M. costs only 81 20 per gallon.
