preacher who was . crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harpins on baptism. A
brother that longed for q rest handed
him text he thought safe. The way
Of the transgressor Is hard"
Friends" said the preacher. there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First. the transsressor.
Second. his conversion. Third. his
baptism We will pass over the nrst
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
1t Is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques.
ton In every transaction Is whether
It is right or wrong. Not will l save
money, but is 1t just? Not is 1t more
convenient. but Is 1t fair? Not
whether is 1t good business. but
whether It is good morals!
For you and | know, and all the
world is coming to krow. that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And man may be as dis
honest In saving money as In getting
It.
1t is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send 1t
away because we are under obliga-
tions to the home town. but not to
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is un'
der financial obligations to the town
or course the town is also indebted
to the country. but the town cannot
help but pay its debt, Its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side OF the OBJ
legation.

town you meet your neighbors Satur-
day afternoons and exchange news
and experience. You 60 TO 1t for . day
OF recreation when the snow comes,
the fair. or on holidays.
There during the winter lecture
course you hear great orators and ex-
cellent musicians. The political rallies,
the church conference or association
are held there.
BY and by In the pretty little vii
lage church. whose spire you can see
from your farm, you son will preach
the gospel. In the brick building two
doors from the corner. = 'fsrunsr boy
will open a law once. and in the little
frame two blocks away another son
Of the soil, Just back from college, will
begin the practice Of medicine.
There Is the high school to which
you send your children. and there
after awhile your daughter will teach.
And some day when you nnd the
farm work too heavy for your age. and
want to get near the children. you will
build on that grassy corner lot two
doors from the Methodist church and
move to town.
Yes, the town is mighty good
thing to have. q pleasant thing; and
the more you put into 1t the more you
get out Of It. For It grows according
to the trade It gets and the more II
grows the more It can buy and the
higher will go your land.
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why II is right that the country peo
Pile spend their money at home is the
moral obligation.
The town is yours. yours to ruin OF
prosper. The same sense OF obliga
tion should prompt you to support IT.
as prompted our old Teutonic ances
tors In the forests Of Germany to
stand elbow to elbow In protection Of
their village. The same spirit Of loyal
ty should inspire you as fired the
Highland Scot to spend his blood for
the welfare of his clan.
The country town with all Its faults
Is the best governed. most enlight
ened. most moral, and happiest spot
In American civilization. 1t is a goot
safe place. Not too swift. nor yet toe
slow. In touch with the current o.
