The Results of Intemperance

Dear acknowledgements is the root OF
all evil; IL is the ruin of our country. Tnere
have been convicts sent to the ehaingang
by intemperance than any other cause. You
may go to the poor widow in her desolste hut,
where hungry and ragged children play. She
with a heavy heart and weary steps; her beau
ty all faded and hasting fast TO the grave.
Ask her the cause of this and she viii say,
"Intemperance is the root OF 1t all" Com
mence with a social glass, "set-up' from q
friend, as he pretends to be, but he Is not a
friend for a true friend will not ask you to

This is a prevalent idea, but you might as wen
cut OFF your finger TO relieve pain from burn,

you are on this dark and rugged road turn
back ere IL is too late.
Intemperance with the devastation that rol-
lows in its pathway has swept with relentless
fury over all the fair and fruitful fields or
the world 1t has desolated countless happy
homes; crushed many ambitions, many bright
hopes and anticipntions; IL has reduced 10 pow
crty and want thousands reared in affluence
and wealth, and has hung the symbols OF
mourning throughout the land. How many
bright hopes have been blighted by intemper-
ance and how many thousands Of homes thnt
were happy have been made desolate because
intemperance has spread her wings of sorrow
there!

Are We Scattering Sunshine

Dear Miss Thomas: Florence Stones let
ter touched my heart when she suggested for
us to buy the Shut-ins a badge. Household
friends, don't you think that would be a good
way to scatter sunshine? Let's all Of US help
TO buy one for them.
7 have, never seen one, but that is no ex-
cuse for II / never a badge l can walk
out in the yard and look at the beautiful flow
ers; can 90 work in my garden; can go out In
the field and work or look at the beautiful
corn and cotton that the Lord is blessing US
with / can walk to church every Sunday.
Those poor shut-ins have to stay in the house
all day. You who are not doing anything for
them, let beg of you to begin now, and
you will be scattering sunshine in your own
life as well as theirs. l have been writing to
Mrs. A. d. Darlington for nearly two years;
have begged some for her, helped little my
self, and she seems to appreciate what little
have done.
/ received letter from her a few days ago
saying she had been sick and had large doc
tor bill to pay. She said that she wanted her
children in school, but they had no clothes to
wear. Turn to the second chapter OF James,
read from the fourteenth to the eighteenth
verse. As read this / am persuaded that l
cannot enter heaven without helping the help
less Since 1 started this letter I have re-
ceived lambrequin that l ordered from Mrs.
Darlington. I am well pleased with 1t. One
good way we might help her is by ordering
things that she makes. There are many diff
ferent ways OF scattering sunshine; way is
by saying good things about our neighbors. If
we hear someone say something good about
someone ] think scattering sunshine to
tell them about II: On the other hand, think
IL hear them say something bad we should
be very careful to say nothing about that
other ways to scatter sunshine visiting
the sick. and helping the widows and orphans.
We read in the first chapter Of James that
''pure religion is visiting the widows and
fatherless in their affliction and keeping one
self unspotted from the world" / don't think
this means simply for to go to their house,
TO WI them.
Oh. my! someone will say have preached a
sermon without any license.
Yours truly.

The farmers of this county are consid-

Cotton is late and is causing many of
