FLIES
Freezing,


II Was formerly believed that nies
We're useful scavcnscrs. but by closer
study il has been found that flies
carry all manner Of diseases. They
walk on unclean matter and then
walk upon fooG leaving the germ on
the food 1T Is therefore very neces-
sary that food ana articles used about
food he kept from flies. Screen doors
and windows arc a great advantage
All sick persons should be carefully
screened from flies also
Flies breed In unclean matter. and
If their breeding places arc destroyed
it will greatly loosen their number. 1t
takes nine or ten days for an egg to
become an adult fly. In this time 1t
changes its form two times. From an
egg 1t becomes maggot or larva;
then IT takes its resting form. and
from that IL becomes an adult fly.
Keeping tho house and premises clean
and removing all matter that attracts
flies is helpful way of destroying
fies. So hy this we see that flies are
very dangerous and should be care
fully avoided rs much as possible.

"For the love Of Christ con.

judge, that II one died for all,
then were all dead"
The sermon dealt on the love OF
and for the Lord. Numerous exam.
pies OF the love of the Lord for his
children were given and were ex.
planned by Rev. Hurley who said that
love brought Jesus to this earth and
love kept him here to save those who
were lost even though he was cruelty
prosecuted and in spite Of the fact
that his lot was very hard and that
the sin of all was weighted upon his
own shoulders.

Paul. The love OF Christ made Paul

at most times exhibited superior base

garnered in the first inning but a
change of pitchers held the run get
ting down to two more points in the
remaining rounds.

church. he expressed hope that the
spirit Of Paul will be felt In the time
to come and that the greatest of OBJ
stacles will be overcome through the
love for the Lord.
At tie conclusion of the sermon.
DR.. Hurley spoke for a time about
himself. His hope was that the
church would find his services accept
able, but made plain the fact that IL
is his intention to be very plain in
all matters pertaining to church
work. He said:
Il will make no apologies if make
enemies In this church because am
going to hit sin hard here. In the
past ! have made enemies because I
have stood against liquor traffic and
because have in other ways hit sin
hard and without partiality.

ihVariaDly strike several but you will
pray for me before you criticise me
II you are constrained by the love of
the Lord. Those of you who talk
about each other and who are unwill.
Ing to pray for another before criti.
cising them are not constrained by
the love of the Lord
Previous to the sermon, Rev. Hur-
ley read and in a masure explained
the thirteenth chapter of the First
Corinthians.
Previous to the beginning of the
morning service, Mr.. Herbert w.
Smith of the social committee an.
nounced that ON Tuesday evening,
