KEEP iht KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving and Some
Americas People Know How to
Save 1t.

Many Americas people take their
lives in their hands by 'neglecting the
N:dneys when they know these organs

slble for vast amount of suffering
and i'll hea th-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is an
Americas citizens recommendation:
Mrs. Essie Query, 524 Lamar st i,
Americas, Ga, says: Our little
daughter complained great deal of
pain and weakness through her back
and kidneys. When some one advised

giving this remedy to the chi d, 1t did
her a great amount of good, strength

AUTOS
STOLEN IN SIXTEEN
DAYS FROM ATLANT 4

Atlanta, Dec. Seventeen auto
mobiles have been stolen from Allah
tas streets within the past sixteen
days. Most of the cars, after being
driven hundreds of miles and badly
used. have been recovered and total
of six arrests in all have been made
All six of the alleged culprits are
young white men, former chauffeur9.
mechanics or helpers around garages
They are named C. o. Hagin, Thomas
Brown, C. r. Hart, Frank Cory, Edgar
Sentell and Clennie Bristol.
The police have failed thus far to
establish any connection between the
different thefts, or to show that there
is any such thing as an organized
gang" of auto bandits in Atlanta.
TT roundup, however, is believed
by the police to have brought into
custody the young men who have been
principally responsible fer the stealing
of cars.
In over half of the thsfts a spirit Of
deviltry rather than a desire for gain
seems to have actuated the thieves, as
they have left the cars standing on the
street or by the roadside after having
their joy-rides. Sometimes they have
kept the cars two or three days, and
then Abandoned them.

A Christmas Stocking.

1t is not always the gift itself, but
the way in which it is presented that
commends itself particularly to the
recipient. To the girl who thinks
she is too old to hang up her stock
ings, send pair of silk stockings, u.s.
ing one to fill, and roll up the other
and stick it in the foot The rest of
the stocking should be filed with in
expensive trifles-a homemade jabot,
tie or collar, handkerchief, some
candy, nuts, raisins, crab apples, a
card or a calendar, perhaps some lit
tie kindly hints at her hobbies that
will amuse her. Each of these ar
ticles should be wrapped separately
in tissue paper and red ribbons, and
the excitement of opening the mystic
rious small packages will often exceed
the pleasure taken in one large gift
that would have cost no more than
the numerous small ones.

OF the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn. naye
very wisely Ia answer 20 the same
question. some time ago a student
Of religious life Ia London asked him
self the question which you have put
10 me and thea he set out to End the
answer He went from church TO
church. churches OF various creeda
and different types. some evangelical,
some ritualistic. some railroads.&c.,
others engaged In no social activities,
And this was his finding, that every
type had its failures and It's sue
cesses It was no one type as such
more than another type which suc
ceeded in interesting men. Men do
not go IN for %evangeiistic preaching
more than for ritualistic ceremonies,
for social service more than rational
istio teaching. In every case Il was
the mar IN the pulpit who drew men.
Where men we're found there was
found a real personality IN the
preacher. In every case among all
these varied types the human factor
On the ministry either drew or failed
to draw men" In this connection It
should be stated that DIT Matthews
very modestly says nothing Of him
self. Of his W personality, but
those of us who know him realize
that he is in many ways an unusual
man. He is a natural born actor,
very dramatic, a veritable general,
and surrounded by a magnificent body
OF men who uphold his work and
carry out his commands.

FILL THE CHURCHES

ed. 4. We make the gospel apply to
every condition, circumstance and
point Of a mans life. We deal with
his social, domestic. commercial. po-
litical n civic life, with the gospel,
and only the gospel. 8. Every serv-
ice is an evangelistic service. We
never preach the gospel or finish a
sermon without making an appeal for
immediate decisions and confessions
Of Christ At every service we urge
men TO accept Christ and Join the
church. g.. We do not have a SER
monette after a long musical pro-
gram of questionable ecclesiastical
music Every member Of the choir
must be used, but that program is
kept in its minor place. The sermons
are not dictated by the clock. nor are
they closed at the suggestion OF some
man who would like to hurry through
the service. Time enough Is taken
to present the case of sin, produce
conviction In the hearers mind and
ask for the work Of the Holy Spirit
to produce conversions. T. Every
man, woman and child In this church
is supposed to have something to do,
and is required to do the thing as
signed. II the churches Of the coun-
try could be lifted from their blight
Of materialism and could get from un-
der the control OF Goddess trustees,
Indifferent and lukewarm church Of
hcers, and could be made to under
stand that It is their business as in
dividual Christians to evangelize the
world, the pews would be full and the
pulpits would be on fire with the love
Of God and an undying passion for
souls"
