The One Store Where Fine Diamonds


The old advice to believe only
half what you hear does not apply
to reports about advances in the
prices of fine diamonds. They
are going up all the time and for
that very reason you ought to buy
them, provided you buy them
right. You arc making a sound
investment when you buy dia-
monds at Lamberts.
We import direct every diamond
in the house. We buy in large
quantities, always for spot cash,
and always diamonds of fine color
and first-class cutting. We guar

that can be filed by nothing

church has failed TO make the most Of
Its opportunities. Its growth has not
kept pace with the growth Of other
rural institutions.
The country church Is too often a
mere imitation of the city church.
The church officers and the pastors do
not recognize that rural needs In re-
ligion are as distinctive as rural needs
in education. In the city there Is room
for many churches and many denomina-
tons. In the country this is not the
case. One church is enough for any
country community. and Il Is q large
village that can support more than
one. The curse of denominationalism
has been the ruin Of religious life In
many a rural community. From being
an exponent Of peace the church too
often has become promoter of strife.

in every place that hen would be lisbls

THE COUNTRY CHURCH II PACING A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY.
6ght the devil gets his due. and too
often he has seized his opportunity to
capture the whole community, bag and
baggage.
The cases where church differences
are carried to extremes are fortunately
comparatively rare. The worst part Of
the division into denominations Il
found usually In the division Of church
support. A community that could sup
port one thriving church divides Its en-
erEies among half dozen The only
bass singer IL q Presbyterian perhaps,
and the soprano il a Methodist and the
rest of the choir are Baptists. As q
result the singing in all the churches
Is minus quantity. or nearly SO. The
only good Sunday school superintend-
ent belongs to one denomination and
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
er. As a result all the Sunday schools
lead a precarious existence.
One Of the worst effects Is seen In
the social life Of the community. The
country church should be the center
Of rural social life. Where several
weak churches have taken the place Of
one strong church this L. impossible.
A free mingling Of all the people In
the community on an equal basis Is
interfered with.
Another of the evils of denomina-
tionalism Is the division Of financial
support When the money that might
support one strong chuch is divided
among two or three the results are
disastrous. The first effect is seen
In the quality Of the preachers. The
salaries which the divided churches
can afford to pay will attract only the
poorest class Of preachers. Often two
or three towns are Joined together and
one preacher provided for all. He
must spend a large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence in
the community is that which he ex-
erts from the pulpit on Sunday. II
instead Of giving one preacher three
churches In different towns be were
given the three In the same town, he
would have more time to give to his
people.
In essentials the different churches
have the same belief. Rural people
want the plain, simple religion Of
Jesus Christ They have no time to
split hairs over fancied differences Of
creed. Few Of them know the creed
Of the church to which they belong
or whether 1t has q creed or not The
Bible Is creed enough for them.
The increased financial support which
the consolidated church receives
means better building. better lights.
more money for the Sunday school
and. above all. a better preacher.
This last il the most difficult point.
Ideal preachers for rural churches are
difacult to secure. The theological
schools do not recognize the country
church as having needs that differ
from those Of the city church. The
pastor who Is sent to the country
church is usually city born and city
trained man with city ideals. He has
no understanding of rural life or rural
problems and too often he has no de-
sire to learn. He looks upon the coun.
try church as stepping stone to a
pulpit In the city.
It is little wonder that a preacher
with no sympathy with the problems
or lives Of his people cannot achieve
the highest success He gives the peo-
pie theology when they want the sim
pie faith. He tells them how to die

cAMPHoR CULTURE IN FLORIDA

Camphor production in Florida is
practical and can be made profitable.
Successful experiments by the United
States department of agriculture war
FAINT this conclusion.
The United States imports annually
two to three million pounds of cam
phor. During the past twelve months
theprice has ranged from so cents
to $1.17 per pound.
1t will require grove of from 200
to 500 acres of camphor trees to war
rant the installation of adistillery.
Experiments have advanced to the
stage of showing a yield of from It's
to 200 pounds of gum camphor to the
acre. The trees will thrive on sandy
soil usually too poor for other pur-
poses.
There should be planted camphor
groves in many counties in Florida,
since it has been demonstrated that
it can be made profitable industry.
