a preacher who was crank on

constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed

OF the transgressor Is hard"
Friends" said the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First, the transgressor.
Second, his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We wal pass over the first
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
1t is right or wrong. Not will / save
money, but is 1t just? Not is 1t more
convenient, but Is 1t fair? Not
whether Is 1t good business, but
whether 1t is good morals?
For you and know, and all the
Worlu is coming TO know, 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
IL.
1t is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send It
away because we are under obliga-
lions to the home town, but not to
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is I'M
der financial obligations to the town.
OF 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.

Dog and Rabbit Are Friends.

When the hare gets an outing in

such protection as may be needed.

Thus that town has increased the

average of $35 dollars an acre. AS
that is about the age of country towns
generally, you may figure that town,
az long as 1t is fairly prosperous, in
creases the land around it an average
of one dollar an acre every year.
Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway, the town as
a local market is worth at least $75
a year to the ordinary farmer.
For example,: This year the peach
markets were so glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around
the little town in which the writer
lives most farmers have few peach
trees. The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at
from 40 cents to a dollar q bushel.
More than "a 900 was paid for peaches

SO II a man owns 200 acres within

from the mail order house.

Social Obligations.
IL Is right for the country to spend
It's money with the home town because
of the social obligations between

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 find 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 a mighty good
thing to have, a pleasant thing; and
the more you put into 1t the more you
get out of 1t. For it grows according

grows the more 1t can buy and the

The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why it is right that the country peo-
pie spend their money at home is the
moral obligation.

the great business men, lawyers,
scholars. preachers, physicians. The
place where men are neighborly and
helpful.
This town, my farmer friend, is
yours. But the city belon%s to the

mail order houses and the devil. With
its corrupt government, its overflow
of population, and Its vice, the great
city is the menace of our morals and
our liberties.
The city like the dragon swallows
the vast throngs OF country boys and
girls that flock into 1t, and by and by
when health, and virtue and hope are
gone, spews them out to die in want,
or wander as derelicts over the face
OF the earth.
And don't you see, my friend, that
when you take the money from the
country town, you destroy the chance
of success there, and the boys and
girls will follow where you have sent
the money?
This town of yours was founded on
faith, on the faith in the customs of
men for hundreds of years to trade at
the nearest town. These merchants
and carpenters, masons and editors
are your neighbors. They have grown
UP amongst you or amongst others
like you.
They have put their all in a little
business, money, time and hope.
Around the corner there is little cot
tage, and the wife and the baby-it
may be your grandbaby-wait; and
there is a smile of happiness when
business is good" but the troubled
look comes when business is poor.
They are struggling to live, and pay
for the little home. and by and by ed
ucate the children. They are your
neighbors and friends, not your enc
mics. They work hard-you scarcely
realize how hard-and are not living
high. They have pinned their faith
to the town-your town.
Their success or failure is in your
hands. For your trade they will give
you good returns, and all will prosper
together. If you withdraw your trade,
failure must follow. Some poor strug-
gler must go down facing bankruptcy.
The light must go out of some wom-
ans eye, and hardship be laid up for
the child.
Even II you could save a little by
sending your patronage to the city, do
you not think 1t the fair thing, the just
thing, the right thing. to trade at the
little home town with those you know,
those whose prosperity and happiness
are In your hands?

thy neighbor as myself"
