many Church ADDITIONS.
Last Sunday the Record Was Broken
for New Church Members.

Very tangible results Of the big
meeting we're in evidence on Sun
day last and since. On Easter
morning new members we're receiv-
into all the Louisa churches, and
many more will be added to the
already large number. DR.. Hanford,
of the M. E. Church, reports the
accession of about %, most of whom
are residents of this city. Rev. A.
j. Soard, of the Christian Church,
has been absent few days and
can not yet say what additions his
church will receive, but at least a
dozen, possibly more, will make the
good confession and will be bap-
tized. The Baptist Church, the
Rev. Mr.. Hardin, pastor, reports
most favorably regarding the
strengthening Of that body. The
NEWS does not know the exact
number of accessions made by the
Baptist Church, but it is consider
able, One omen of good is the
largely increased number in atten-
dance at the Wednesday evening
prayer meetings of the various
churches. This must be most en-
couraging to the faithful pastors,
Many night in the past they have
been the whole thing" to speak
rather irreverently, at their prayer
meetings, but this week there was
"a large gathering at each church
and good meetings were the rule.
The services at the M. e. Church
South on Sunday morning were
most beautiful and impressive, The
building was full from doors to
chancel. At the close of short
but impressive seryon baptism
was administered to twenty who
had been converted during the
Holcomb meeting. They were of
various ages, but all were old
enough to understand the solemn
VOWS which they were taking. At
the conclusion of this ceremony
forty-three persons were received
into the church. After assuming
the obligations Of membership the
new members were ranged in a
double row, facing the congregation,
and while hymns were sung almost
the entire congregation. irrespective

newly made members and extended
to them the right hand Of welcome

After dinner at the request of

piano, the company sang several
songs, after which the Rev. G. C.

eloquent prayer, expressed the

ing needed in the work of stopping

Rev. HOIcOnb Received $500 Here.

Rev Holcomb was given, a free
viii offering OF s7OO during his
meetings at Louisa. 1t seems that
some people are expressing an
opinion that he is raising all the
money possible for selfish purposes.
We happen to know that such is
not the case. and in justice to him
we feel It our duty to say SO. He
has charitable obligations upon him
which require every dollar he has
been able to raise. A part OF this
work is the education of some poor
boys Also, meeting the deficit in
the Evangelistic Bureau is a part
Of his burden.

that her husband refuse all terms with
1.-The Genius of Evil" as she called
Bonaparte. At Koenigsberg, however.
one of their children was stricken with
fever, and she, remaining to care for
him, contracted the disease. Napoleon
continued onward, and in midwinter
Louise was taken from her bed to a
carriage, and after a journey of ex-
IRENE hardship found refuge in Memel.
But further disasters compelled Prus-
s1a's submission. Then came greater
humiliation for the unhappy queen.
Libeled by Napoleon in his "Bulle-
tins, nevertheless she consented to an
interview with him at Tilsit, hoping to
obtain more generous conditions of
peace for her country. The meeting
was bitter one for her, and in vain,
as the victor refused her request that
Magdeburg be restored to Frederick
William.
The idol of her people because of
her great beauty and dignity, added
to her lovely character and wide
benevolence, her early death, which oc-
Cured July 10, 1910, caused wide
spread mourning. On March 10, 1913,
the anniversary of her birth, King
Frederick William III. founded the Or
der of the Iron Cross, to be bestowed
for valor in war against France. On
the sixtieth anniversary of her death,
her son, King William l. of Prussia,
and later the first German emperor. re-
vived this decoration, and on the
same day the formal declaration of war
on the part of the French government
arrived in Berlin
Annually on that day a quaint cere-
mony takes place in the garrison
church of Berlin, when the Louise
Brides" as they are called, are mar
ried. In her will Queen Louise pro-
vided that every year six servant girls
who had served their masters faith
fully and desire to marry shall receive
a dowry of about $50, provided they
marry soldiers In the Berlin garrison

At Charlottenburg the ashes of the
beloved queen are contained in a beau
tiful mausoleum- The sarcophagus, the
master work of the sculptor ROUGH, is
famous Many monuments have been
erected to her memory

and womanly Queen Louise, whose un-
firing efforts against Napoleon's power

A Paper Shower.

This was really gotten up as joke,
but turned out so well that the bride
wishes me to tell you all about it. 1t
came about this way: Polly" de-
clared she would have no showers"
of any kind, SO at the little club to
which she belonged, one of the MEM
bers said: We'll, let's give Polly
paper shower, just for fun, as she
objects to anything more serious"
The result was at the next meeting
there were many mysterious packages
brought in and deposited at the feet
of the bride-elect. When opened there
were paper napkins, paper doilies,
shelf paper, nice wrapping paper,
stamped paper wrappers (for mailing
wedding notices.. gummed labels for
everything imaginable, several quires
of tissue paper, note book, engagement
book, telephone register, pads of let
ter paper, envelopes, current maya
zines on household affairs and fash
ions, etc.
A picnic luncheon was served on pa
per plates. paper table cloth, etc. All
pronounced a jolly affair.

standardization.

Religion should be native. It
should be concrete and applicable.
Religion is the natural expression of
living, not a set of actions or of hab-
its, or posture Of the mind added to
the daily life The type of religion,
therefore, is conditioned on the kind
of living, and the kind of living is
conditioned, in its turn, very large
ly on the physical and economic eff
fectiveness of lige. The religion OF
the open country should run deep into
the indigenous affairs of the open

PUZZLED
PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate. in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food He was
weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
It seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and 1
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
using it
I'VE are now a healthy family. and
naturally believe In Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. 1 was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
khowed it So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical
They continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
any children in this city, and. of
course. my friend Is a firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"
