flies crawling over their lips.
The natives don't mind the flies. In

There during the winter lecture

are held there.
By and by in the pretty little vii

doors from the corner, farmer boy

There is the high school to which
yoa send your children, and there

The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why it is right that the country peo

moral obligation.
The town is yours, yours to ruin OF

The country town with all its fault
is the best governed, most enlight
ened, most moral, and happiest spo
in American civilization. 1t Is goo,

slow. In touch with the current o

Find 200 acres of good land almost

The same land within ten miles Will

Thus that town has increased the

Not considering staple articles like

fruit would pay the express Around
the little town in which the writer

trees The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at

within three weeks.

the home town.
So If a man owns 200 acres within
reach of town, he will receive 1915 q

town, none of which he would receive

To be sure, the town does not do

not built for the purpose OF philan

A preacher who was crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a 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 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
it ia right or wrong. Not will l save
money, but is it just? Not Is 1t more
convenient, but is it fair? Not
whether is 1t good business, but
whether 1t is good morals?
For you and know, and all the
world 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
1t.
It Is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send II
away because we are under obliga-
