er than ever Napoleon was, a better
cause than ever France had, and why
cannot we face 1t and Gle rather than
run. Ee loyal to the Son of God-tell
the world "a Christian has never learn
ed to retreat" There are people in
this town who would die for Jesus
Christ All they need is some man to
lead them out Line up you church
people and take the temptations out of
your town. God pity the man WAC is
afraid to line up said the speaker.
The church is not here to say to the
devil, IF you leave me alone l will
let you alone
Again, you can grieve the heart of
the Sor of God by your dissensions,
your sin, by the divisions in your con-
gregations, by dividing your forces.
The general may be as brave as lion,
as strong as Samson, but he cannot
work unless his people work with
him. Will you grieve the hcart of your
Savior? Say rather God helping me,
l will be true to Him; will not trail
his banner in the dust, no matter what
others may do. Here DR.. Orr told
touching story of a mother who had
her face terribly disfgured in an at
tempt to save her child from getting
burned and in later years that same
n1i1d tho ocf +ln
mother had made, refused to recog
nize her when out with one of her
friends. Whose visage was married
more than any other mans? Christ
died for you, poured out His life blood
for you and His blood is the only thing
between you and hell. He has held
out a pierced hand to you for years
and you have rejected Hin.
Again you can neglect the Son of
God. Here is some one tapping at the
door of your heart and when you ask,
who is there, the reply is II am the one
who substituted for you in Gethsom-
ane; am the one who woe9 the crown

sus Christ had no better friend than

streets tonight" said DR.. Orr How
Jesus has waited on you, pied with you,
besought you, and you have put Him
aside-thoueht III a Joke
Again every man and woman can ac-
cept Him. You can throw open the

Lexington, s. =.
Dear Sir: Two cans Of paint look
alike; two paints look alike; when
opened; two jobs look alike, 80 long
as they're new-unless one is scant.
They are far from alike: One is
paint and the other is trash.
The gallon price is not far from
alike. They don't cost alike. One
takes 10 gallons to paint house; the
other takes %. The cost of one job
is $50; the other $100-it may be $50
the job that cost least is the good
one; wears twice as long as the other.
There are two ways of telling good
paint: By the name; by the, number
of gallons it takes for job--least
gallons, best paint. BY the name
Devoe; by least gallons.

Main Street
Needs Crossings

A good source to which some
OF the money to the credit of the
town fund could be put, would
be the placing of crossings on
Main street. During this wet
weather it is impossible to cross
from one side of the street to the
other, without wading in mud
over the shoe tops. This is not
only unsightly, but extremely
annoying.
A stranger coming into the
town and surrounded with these
conditions, could not help but
form very unfavorable impress
ion Of the town. The cost would
be nominal to have several of
these crossings put in. A team
and man could haul, in a day or
SO, sufficient gravel to complete
this work, and the benefit de-
rived would be manifold. This
is worthy of attention. Next
month we will have many WIS.,
itors on account of court; with
promise of much wet weather at
that time. 1t is up to us to Grad
icate the present conditions.

have operated the paper during
the last year under a lease, and
are extremely gratified at the
patronage we have received from
our town and surrounding places.
On the other hand we have made
it a point to, in our small way,
lend encouragement to the en-
terprises in our midst. We feel
that we have done this to the
best OF our ability. AS to the
measure of success we have at
tanned we leave for the public to
judge. True, in some instances
we might have tread on the toes
Of some. If so, let US hasten to
assure that it was not done ma
liciously, but for the interest of
public. To work for the better
ment of this district, to try and
more fully bring her many merits
to the attention of the outside
world will be our constant aim.
In doing this we invite the hearty
cooperation of all.
The Record will be established
after the first of the month in
the building across the street
from the Thompson Opera House.
Good, commodious accommoda-
tons have been secured here and
we are prepared to launch forth
