MS duty to newspaper, should not we
be willing to lay down our lives for
the Christ whom we serve? Shall we
not, like Paul, try to open the hearts
or those whom we would lead to Christ
by sacrificing ourselves for them? Can.
not we make them learn to love our
Jesus by first making them learn to
love us? Carry your flowers to the sick.
room. Carry your food to the hungry.
Sacrifice yourself for men, and then
you will teach men to do and to sacri.
fce themselves for Christ.
But this is not the end of Paul's sur
prises on the island OF Melita. These
barbarians welcomed him with kind
ness. After he had healed their sick
they opened the doors of their homes
In gladstone welcome. But they did
more than this. After n three months,
soJourn OF preaching and caring for
their souls as well as for their bodies
they came down to the sea to bid him
goodby. They crowded his prison cabin
with many things Some brought a
warm cloak, some heavy shawl; some
one thing, some another. "And when
we departed they loaded US with such

WILLIAM BARTON
IS A HOME Conner.
HAS BEEN IN SOUTH AMERICA
AND IS MUCH PLEASED
WITH COUNTRY.

Among those who welcomed home
corners last week were Mr.. and Mrs. j.
S. Barton, whose son Will came to visit
them on his return from South America,
after an absence of eight months. He
had not heard that it was home coming
week in Paw Paw, and his visit, which
was necessarily short, was with his
father and mother, where Mr.. and Mrs,
E. A. Aseltine and son Leland Joined
them Thursday.
Will says they don't eat breakfast 10
South America, but you wouldn't think
it to see him, for he has gained 80
pounds.
He sailed from Buenos Ayres, July 8.
coming by the way of Liverpool, Eng.
land, where he stopped two days. He
then boarded an ocean liner, which
touched the shores of Ireland, France
and Spain,
He is greatly pleased with the country
of Argentina and says Buenos Ayres is
especially beautiful. He wonders why
the United States does not connect itself
to that country and share its prosperity
as England does.

Her Time All Taken.

The average woman thinks the sun
and stars would cease to shine sooner
than that she could interfere with the
regular routine of household duties
A Sabetha woman was recently IN
formed by her physician that she
would have to have an operation per-
formed. She said she didn't see how
she could-that Monday was washing
day, Tuesday ironing day Wednesday
the missionary society met, Thursday
was the day to clean up, Friday to
bake, Saturday to give the children
their baths and mend. If he could get
1t in Sunday after dinner and before
evening service perhaps she would
try it.-Sabetha Herald.

To Fight Forest Fires.

"Lumbermen in western Montana
have organized to fight forest fires"
said George McGregor, of Butte. In
past years there never was coopera-
ton on the part of the big timber
men. with the result that a small fire
that by concerted effort might have
been extinguished, gained such head
way as to destroy millions upon mil
lions of feet of valuable timber. The
plan is to raise a fund of $4,000 with
which to buy chemicals. which will
be stationed at all lumber camps and
nearby towns, so that in case of fire
volunteers may have the means to ex-
tinguish it before it gains great head
way.

EMIGRATION.

We desire to say that after no small
expenditure of time and money, we now
have the assurance that considerable
number of desirable emigrants can be
located in this county. The people we
are interested in bringing are farmers
of very high order. This class is not
easy to induce to come south because of
the prejudice against this section in Eu-
rope. When the deserving and we'll
to-do emigrant lands at New York there
are men there from every section of this
country and Canada ready with all
kinds of inducements to settle in their
sections. Texas, Alabama, tn eWest and
Canada arevery active. Good emigrants
don't come to Newberry or any other
section of South Carolina by accident.
Their presence here means effort and
expense on the part of some one. Some
people don't seem to understand this.
If the land owners of this county de-
sire this class Of people, let them list
! with us the lands they arc willing to
Sell, and let them do so at once. We
are now in position to get the people,
and we would like to settle them in this
county, but if sufficient land at REASON
ABLE prices cannot be had here, then
we shall place some of our people else
where.

YOUTHFUL PAGANlSM.

Ernest Hamlin Abbott in outlook.
The ordinary youth exhibits his pagan
ism most obviously by his animal spirits
The association, instead Of bidding him
suppress his paganism, after the tradition
OF the church, has accepted his paganism
as a healthy thing and set to work to di-
rect it. The means il has found in the
gymnasium. Here it writes in wood and
stone, in brick and Steel an article Of its
distinctive creed: 1--WE believe in the
body. In the first place, you do not
have TO 60 to its so-called department Of
religious work in order to find its religion.
1t is true there you will find il conducting
Bible classes, holding Sunday afternoon
meetings for men, leading religious meet
ings for men in the shops, maintaining big
religious gatherings in theatres. But its
religion, 1t IL is anywhere, is also in its bill
llardroom, in its classes for mechanical
drawing and in its summer camps.
That religion, like every true religion
is motive. It is not a trap for which
the billiards, the drawing, the camp, is the
bait. The association which uses means
like to these TO entice young men into
some kind OF religious performance is not
true to Its own principles. The kind Of
service which il renders in these ways il
values for the sake of the service itself, and
it regards that service as worthy end
But the principles of the association would
be strangely fruitless il they did not cause
many a man to change his attitude toward
Christianity itself. That is Just what these
principles as practiced by the association
have done. The association has made
converts many converts, no doubt, at its
meetings. 1t has brought men into the
church. IL has killed new enthusiasts
and rekindled old ones. But in this it has
only done what 3ther agencies have done.
Its distinctive service has been this: That
il has presented 10 the men of today a new
Interpretation of Christianity. BY works
as well as words it has maintained and
proved that Christianity is not merely-or
even chiehy-an expectation concerning
the world to come; but that Christianity
is motive that makes sport cleaner, recre-
ton wholesome, commerce honester:
which concerns not merely what a man
calls his soul, but his whole life
