and everyone was full of good humor

these attractions. Admiration"

at which the elderly persons we're
seen hiding in the corners cracking
their Sides a-laughing. 1t has been
the custom of the Endeavors 10 give
social free to all persons who de-
sire to come together for social
benefit. There is no finer set of young
people than those attending these
functions, and the wide influence
welded by this religious body is be-
ing clearly proven by the recent addi
tions to the society. While there are
quite a number of settled people who
belong. yet the young people make
the Sunday evening meeting so in
teresting and entertaining that many
young people flock there for the
spiritual benefit The lesson or topics
for discussion are so vividly impress
ed upon the hearers that one desires
to go to the Endeavors to have his
conscience properly aroused IN pre-
paration to the reception Of the sun
day evening session. The Christian
Endeavors have every reason TO fe'
proud OF their social success and the
results reflect great credit on the
commenaable efforts OF the society.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH HAD 43RD
ANNlvERSARY-REv. G. W.
HARTS PREACHED
SERMON.

1t was no wonder that Rev. e. w.
Harris preached such strong sermon
Sunday morning 1t can be easily un-
derstood why SO much religious fire
was so quickly kindled as the rever-
end spoke. Nothing had more to do
with the spiritual enlivenment than
that sweet voiced choir. 1t is be-
yond all question of a doubt Zion has
powerfully strong, well gagged
choir whose many voices seem to so
harmoniously blend into perfect
symphony. Misses Margaretta Willis
and Eva Carter's solos were soft,
sweet and spiritually impressive. and
choir demonstrated its ability In the
support it rendered them. Rev. q.
w. Harris, the field secretary of the
Baptist church, is thorough enthus-
iastic minister who loves congrega-
tional singing, as he showed his
power in the song, Railway of Life"
After he had laid his argument,
based upon the text, Religion as
Living Power" he viewed the subject
from a moral, financial, sanitary,
spiritual and a charitable standpoint
He climaxed all of his remarks in his
final appeal that, "If religion had not
made you better, changed your life,
made your disposition sweeter. made
you more benevolent and charitable,
and less egotistic and more humble
and faithful, then it-so far as you
and your life is concerned-is a fail
ure. You wore it as form and not
as realistic and as an energlzing
power for betterment." He preached
a strong sermon and incidentally
called the roll of the departed saints
of Zion which by their very absence
were conspicuous. Fortythree years
have made all kinds OF changes and
the congregation in reflective mood
pathetically bowed its heads to death
and its absent victims. Zion has Just
began to progress. Nothing can hold
back. and The Statesman bids her to
go on and may she add wealth, glory,
honor and souls to the Kingdom as
she goes on in years. 1t is better
farther on.

Man and Machine


Believers in progress are often dis
heartened to find that the many mod
ern inventions to make life better have
not fundamentally changed mankind.
The human being is the same creature
that the very oldest writings portray,
and yet men go on contriving systems
and improved" devices and "ad-
vanced" methods. The last hundred
years have been rife in discoveries and
inventions. A cure has been found
for every conceivable Ill, and a method
has been found for doing everything.
Yet many Ills remain unremedied,
many things undone. The trouble is
we have learned to trust too much to
system, too little to human nature.
The true lesson to be drawn from a
century OF system-mongering is not
one of encouragement, but one of re-
newed confidence In human beings, OF
renewed willingness to throw the bur
dent not on the machine but on man.

read much about block-signals and
automatic switches and other devices.

IL Is the man that counts: 1t is not
the system, but the employee that
wrecks the train or sends It safely
through. One OF the hardest lessons
that America has had to learn. re-
marks Youths Companion, is that
the substitution of democracy for
kingship did not eliminate the evils
OF government This does not mean
that democracy is a failure, but that
democracy is good or bad according as
the members OF the democracy are
good or bad, wise or foolish. For the
American who realizes this, the idea
OF democracy becomes sacred, impress
sive, a glorious burden. The Amer
lean who does not realize 1t, but trusts
that the republican form of govern
ment will save him, is not fit to vote.
