What Our Women Want.

we, the women OF Dam Uel Walt
clean town and a clean county to
live in. We realize that environment
is a great force at work to build up
character or to tear it down. Take
look into an unkempt, unclean.
crowded home and in nine tenths of
the cases you find persons living
there who are selfish, irritable and
unlovable. The tendency of the age
is to construct buildings beautiful in
their simplicity, and the main reason
for it is that such structures will tend
to uplift society itself.
A town effects character just as
building does. A town needs to have
cleaning up days as we'll as a home.
Four years ago we people of Bamberg
county looked about us and saw tlth
heaped upon filth in our own home.
What did We do? We quit ourselves
like men and fought; not with swords
but with brooms We made clean
sweep of our county at the end OF
which the dispensary was found out
side in the gullies.
Some of US thought that We had
expelled whiskey for good and now
we are despondent because we have
heard of the blind tigers here. II
you have given up hope We want you
to know that there is band of Wo-
men here who have not. We look
upon these blind tigers as test. In
one way. or another we are tried to
see what good there is in us. How
have you measured up to this foot
rule? What have you done to put
down the blind tigers? Have you
thought more of your own popularity
than you have thought of your God?
You men that stand back and say
that politics is too dirty for you to
deal with, will God consider you
guiltless knowing that you have done
nothing to clean your county up? If
we band ourselves together we can
rid ourselves of blind tigers now that
We have a national law to back us.
If we go back to the dispensary We
will be bound down with iron chains.
Because of this we women are
praying that God will give us the
victory over the dispensary. We be-
lieve firmly that conditions are bet
ter now than they were when
We had the dispensar here. In
order that God may put it into
our hearts to do the right thing
we, the W. G. T. u, have set aside
the noon hour of each day to pray to
Him. Not only the members of this
association; but all women Of the
county are urged to join this prayer
circle at your own home for the re-
demption of our county. Just as the
clock strikes twelve many prayers
will ascend to God that the dispen-
sary be kept out for the sake of our
girls and boys. This is our work.
Remember that we have the promise,
whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that will do
The w. G. T. U. will hold it's next
meeting in the ladies parlor of the
Methodist church at six o'clock on
next Tuesday afternoon. Members
and all persons interested in the work
are requested to be present. Mem
bers, show your standing by wearing
every day your white ribbon badges.

''ChriStidns Prosecuted have come from

ed their more righteous brethren, so
nominal Christians have been the chief
prosecutors of the Lords faithful fol
lowers. See Psalm 69:4-21.
This persecution has come upon

nation. Sad to say, this persecution
has come from unfaithful souls Of
nearly every denomination. In nearly
every case. the profession has been
made that the prosecuting was done
for the glory of God, See Isaiah 66:5.
Already the world in general, includ-
ing the Jews. realize that a great mis-
take was made in prosecuting Jesus
even unto death. To some extent sim
liar tranSgressions against His faithful
followers have been recognized. Yet
the same envious disposition leads to
persecution oven in our day.
Why has God ordained that Christ
and His faithful followers should thus
suffer? In Jesus case, the Father used
these trying experiences to demon
strate His Sons love, loyalty and Obedi-
ence. as preliminary to our Lords ex-
altation to great honor and glory. In
the case of the elect Church, it is even
more proper that, being gathered from
amongst a fallen race, they should be
tested to the very last-unto death.

nizes Joseph as "Joseph Sold BY His
type, or prophetic b'e'nfe"'
picture of Christ Joseph was on an
errand of mercy to his brethren when
their envy sold him into slavery His
brethren hated him without cause
merely because he was good, because
their father loved him, and because
God had foreshadowed his coming eX-
altatiOn. They were envious to the
point of cruelty.
"They Hated Him Without Cause"
But Gods Providence blessed Joseph,
and through much tribulation finally
brought him to a position next in in
fiuence and power to the Egyptian
Pharaoh himself. Later, the famine
drove Joseph's brethren to Egypt to
buy wheat. Thus was fulfilled his
dream that his brethren would bow
down to him,
Later on, when Jacobs entire family
came to live in Goshen, they all did
obeisance to Joseph as the representa-
tive of the Egyptian government, thus
fulfilling the second dream But, until
the time came for Joseph's exaltation
to power, his experiences looked as If
the Lord had less love for him than fol
any other member Of Jacobs family.
(Which Things Are an Allegory."
Like Joseph. our Lord Jesus was alsc
hated without cause. psalm 69:4) The
brethren of Jesus were the Jews, whc
cruciied Him. No cause of death was
found in Him. 1t was on account of
envy that the Jews called for His cru
cihxion. His works were good, and
| theirs were evil; He taught the way OF
! the Lord more perfectly than did they
| He declared that some day they and
all others would recognize Him as the
Messiah Therefore they hated Him.
Jesus applied this statement to Him
self. saying, "They hated Me without
cause" John 15:25) In this same
connection He plainly forewarns His
followers that they must expect to be
similarly hated unjustly Other Scrip
lures assure us that in Gods great
! Plan, not only Jesus is to be exalted tc
the Throne as the worlds great Mes
siah, but with Him will be a company
of brethren, sharers of the same glory
honor and immortality. These breth
ren, in Gods great Purpose, are re
quired to pass through similar expert
ences to those of their Elder Brother
Jesus Their experiences, therefore are
illustrated also in Joseph's experiences
