will be one Of the events OF the
meetings, but just how it will be
conducted is not to be divulged un-
til the time comes.
There will be some changes i'll the
officers when the elections take
place, notably the replacing OF Mrs.
Emerson w. Polk Of Pocomoke City
as president of the home society,
Mrs. Polk having refused re-elec-
ton of a successor to the foreign
treasurer, Mrs. John II. Dandy OF
Wilmington. Mrs. Dandy has held
this office for number Of years,
with such success and efficiency that
her resignation is a deep regret tt
the society. She has, however, posi-
lively refused reelection, and 1t Il
probable another member from VII
mington will take her place.
The Presbyterian societies always
have increase of membership anc
contributions to report; their way
is always that of progress, and it il
likely that this year will be no ex
ception. Last year the home socie
ty contributed a total Of So, 1924

The Right Start

As a preparation for the day S
program in school the child should
eat an unhurried, nutritious break
fast. and get to school on time,
without rushing. It's little body
machine must be properly coaled
up before beginning the days play.
(Some call it school work, but it
should be made as attractive to the
child as play.) If the pupil does
not sleep well and does not eat a
good breakfast, these faults should
be corrected. Many children do
not spend enough hours out of each
"a in bed in a room which is as
widely open to the outdoor air as
wide-open windows will permit.
No phase of instruction seems
more important than to teach the
child how to live in a healthful
manner. No subject is taught, Oh
the whole, so unsuccessfully. One
method Of approach productive OF
fairly good results is to inculcate
habits of healthful living in rela.
ton to personal and home life
through encouragement Of whole
some play, athletic ideals, a spirit
of ambition and reasonable sanitary
| laws.

reason for their success. They are
faster and better than in 1911.

at time he can't hit thing, and all
of sudden he begins, and, no mat
ter what you serve him, he laces it
safe. If he has a batting streak dur
ing the series it wouldn't surprise
me to see him lead both clubs.
Shafer is one of the best batters
on the team and one of the most
scientific hitters in the game. Being
a left-hander, he usually hits to right
field, but he does place his hits.
Burns is a good hitter. He likes
curves. Low balls are his long suit
He isn't so likely to hit high one,
close in. He is the best waiter on the
team. He won't go after anything
that isn't right over. When the ball
is over both he and Shafer will
swing, and they usually land.
Murray is dangerous. Give him
fast one, rather high, and he will
murder it. He's not so good on low
balls, but likes curves.
Merkle and Fletcher are both high
ball hitters. Let Merkle have one
around the shoulders and he will
drive it out Of the lot. He is weak
on low balls, but / have seen him
lift low ones to the fence.
Fletcher doesn't like low balls, nor
is he keen for curves. He can whale
curves, but doesn't hit them so well
as the fast ones.
Mclean, like Meyers, is a slugger.
He doesn't like to reach for them nor
does he care to stoop for low one,
but he can hit 'em low when neces-
sary. He dearly loves high ball.
On the bases the Giants are won

1343. the penny was introduced by
Offa, king Of Mercia, who took as a

This penny of Offa's was silver

breach Of their agreement, and Israel's
army could have no blessing until the
matter was rectifed.
That the lesson might be learned by
all Israel, the Lord directed that the
representatives of all the tribes appear
before Him. and lots be cast; that thus
would be indicated the tribe to which
the guilty one belonged. In like man
ner the different families of that tribe
were tested, and the family found.
Step by step the matter came down to
Achan, who was indicated as guilty.
The penalty upon Achan was death
by stoning, and after the stoning the
corpse was burned-the burning indi.

Achan, as a member Of Adams family

AS the Sodomltes, redeemed by the
merit of Jesus sacrifice, will be awak-

tolerable than those Of the people of
Chorazin and Bethsaida. so 1t will
surely be with Achan.
Covetousness In Our Day.
Perhaps never has there been so
much covetousness as today. How
few comparatively would do very diff
ferently from what Achan did! If all
such were to be stoned to death and
burned, the world would be one vast
funeral pyre. True, they are not de
tered by fear Of any such punishment;
nevertheless, large proportion of
them profess to believe that for all
such sins the penalty is eternal tor
ture. Many who are ready to con-
denim Joshua's course In stoning

practically the entire human family.
