Among the Churches.
BAPTIST CHURCH.

All services Sunday were vel attended and the interest shown in the Lords work was encour. aging Sunday school showed an increase of eight but there were twenty-six absentees. The Banner was awarded to the phi. mary class for the third time. The congregation at the evening service was the best for some time but no better than it would be all the time if all of our peo- pie were really glad to go up tc the House of the Lord.
 The pastor will discuss Some Social Duties of Christians at both hours Sunday. The duties of Considering Each Other and of Assembling for Wor- ship" will be the order in which they will be discussed. All of our members ought to add their presence and their prayers to these services and that will make it much easier for the preacher.

Rice Growing in Am srica.

There is no greater proof of the fact that rice is one of the most edible products grown, than lis given by it's use in almost ev- cry part of the globe. Of fnearly one half the human race itds the chief article of diet.
 The population of China is es- timated at 434, GOO, GOO. % and rice is the principle food for it's people. India has a population of 303, GOO, 900 and Japan has 30. GOO, 600. This cereal is con- sumed in both countries in enor- nous quantities. The popula- tion of the remaining rice-c )n- suming countries of Asia and Africa may be rougly estimated at 80, 900, 600. Thus it appears that not less than 796, GOO, 900 human beings, or 54.2 per cent of the total population of the earth have rice for their main food.
 The worlds crop of rice for the year 1911, is estimated at about 1885, ND0.0O pockets. A pocket is 100 pounds of clean rice. Of the worlds crop, the United States raised only 6,8O8. : 900 pockets. India raised 884. TAO, GOO pockets China raised GOO, GOO, 900 pockets. Japan 145 l. 900, 900 pockets. PhiIIipine Is- lands 10. 480, GOO pockets.
 Now since there is a large ter ritory in the United States that is better adapted to the success full growth of rice than anything else, and since much of it is un. used. it is the acme of wisdom to acquaint people with the DOS abilities ofisrice farming. If they can be made to see that there is money in it, and that there is no more wholesome and nutritious food. rice will soon rival wheat and corn as a crop of gigantic value. w. D. J.

Brinkley Association of
 Charilies.

The words of Christ, flor ye have the poor always with you" seems to be especially true in our town. There are those. in our midst who, while their health lasts, are able to make a scant living, but when sickness comes they will suffer and sometimes die unless help is brought to them. This should not be borne by the doctors. druggists or gro- cers alone. but by the entire community.
 It was to this end that our As sociation of Charities was orga- nized. The Association hopes to look after every needy person who is really worthy of help. This will be impossible unless the citizens work through the Association. To carry out the purpose of the Association but two things are nec, ssary. Sirst. join the Association. Second, refuse to give aid to individuals but report all seeking aid to the Investigating Comm ttee. II this is entered into a cooper. ative spirit the charity vorl will be prop rly attended to anc will be burden on none.
 The regular semi annual meet ing of the Association will ie held at the City Hall cn Monday night. Oct. IA. at7::30. All mem. bers of the Association and al interested in such work ars asked to be resent.

The attendance and the atten- tion were good last Sunday at both preaching services and at Sunday School. The choir is giving us splendid music now. It seems to me that it would be a great treat to any one whose soul is akin to God, to come to these services to hear the music, if the music was all there was tc the service.
 Next Sunday the regular ser. vices will be held. Remember, the Sunday School is at 9:4E sharp, and the preaching ser vices at II a. m. and 7::30 D. m, All the services being promptly on time. Therefore, let every body take due notice and gov ern themselves accordingly"

The Brinkley argus., 1912-10-11

A eoodIy number of bright and smiling faces greeted the Superintendent and teachers last Sunday. The morning and eve ming services were well attended. It did us good to See this. But s word to parents and to teachers The sin of non attendance of the child at the Sabbath school and church services is to be laid FIRST at the door of the parent. who is responsible for the spirit ual instruction of the child, even more than for it's physical sup l! port and secular education.
 First things first, saith God Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God"
 Secondly, This sin of non at tendance is laid at the door of the Sunday school teacher who is not faithful to her charge. They have assumed charge of the child at the s. s. hour and by accepting such a position they have professed a soul interest in the child and its spiritual devel- opement. It is their duty and business to visit the child's par ents and plainly tell them their duty and responsibility. This is the BUSINESS of teachers. If we are called and appointed of God to instruct children and adults in things pertaining to the Kingdom of God" then we are commissioned by Him, and it is our business, whether those who profess to be Christians, are faithful to their duties and privi- leges or not. The words of Paul addressed to Timothy are also addressed to each servant of God, "Reprove, rebuke, e, hort with all long-suffering and teach ing, A teacher who doesn't care enough for a child to make some sacrifice of time, money, and labor, may be appointed of man but not of God. The true ser want is willing to spend and be spent for the cause he loves. 7 These words apply to Pastor, FL der, Deacon, Steward. Each have their respective duties to perform and though we may all endeavor to sqirm from under the responsibility we have volun- tarily assumed. or that God has seen fit to place us, it is impossible, and He will call each one into judgment for the man- ner in which we have used or abused our stewardship. Breth- ern, are we ready to have our account audited by the Master?
 Services at the usual hour on Sunday. Let all come and worship the Lord together

Folks Past Fifty
Must Use CascaretS
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes. Cas-
carrots Are to Weak 6oweis-A TO-
cent Box Will Truly Amaze
You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condl-
ton Il perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so ac-
tive as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
one might as well refuse TO aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is important
at all ages, but never SO much as at
fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels OF
the old need is gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such ton
ic is Cascarets and they cost only 10
cents per box at any drug store. They
work while you sleep.
