The singing was hearty. The
choir, in spite of having ap.

vices, was up to it's usual high
standard and rendered an an.
them and a duet in a very &C.
ceptable manner. The pastor
preached from John 2O-25 and
emphasized the fact that the
world waits to see genuine re.
ligion advertised by the follow.
ers of the genuine Christ. Folks
said that it was a good Easter
Sunday. If one can judge by
the attention of the congrega

marks made when leaving the
house of prayer, surely the days
services were not in vain.
The children, too, emphasized
the fact of Easter by bringing
a special Offering for those who
live in less enlightened parts.
Some of the little tots we're
made exceedingly happy by the
gifts of Easter eggs.

joy when there was an agree.

state, and the Com mandment
of God. Now, for a moment,
that JOY is clouded. We sincere
ly hope that this Sunday traf-

and moe, a need that the spirit

We ask the citizens to do their
business during the week days
and thus release the { mployees
of the business houses for one
day in the week. They need
the day more than folks who
spend great portion of their
time in the open air are aware
of. Give the clerks chance.

SUMMER COLDS
Are Considered by Doctors More Dam
9erOus Than Winter Colds.

A person is quite as apt to catch cold
in the summer as in the winter, but it
is harder to cure q cold in the summer
than in the winter. In winter the brac-
ing air assists the remedy to overcome
the cold, but the sultry, depressing
weather of summer retards the cure of
colds.
The public is much interested in
knowing remedy thatwill successfully
cope with summer colds. A remedy
that covers just such cases is Peruna.
Experience has taught that it is the one
remedy that promptly expels sum
mer colds of every character and de-
|scription.
Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, KY, says:
SO I have taken Peruna, and would say
that it is the best medicine for coughs
and colds I ever saw. I find that it
always cures cold in a short while. 1t
also strengthens and builds up the sys-
