..aL the Christian Religio

T .aG the Christian Religion has ;complished.
 It has converted and civilized the cannibal hordes, and made them useful contributors to our civilization.
 It has brought happiness and pros perity to large part of darkest Africa.
 It has enabled China to break the shackles that bound her in darkness, disease and corruption for five thous- and years.
 Through the organized churches Christianity is feeding millions of or phans and the needy-visiting the sick -burying the dead encouraging and comforting the downs -and-outs. :"
 To quote Dr. Abbott Christianity does more for humanity in one week than unbelief has done in all the ages that have passed.
 You need the church, men, and the church needs you-your loyalty, your unselfsh service.
 No man can develop the best that is within him by self-servlce exclusively. You grow and prosper in proportion to your service to others.
 The normal man who will not take part to performing the modern miracles of the Christian religion by attending church at least once every Sunday is either lazy, selfish or indifferent to the greater essentials of life.
 Pick out a church and attend the services at least once week, whether you become a member or not. You can well afford to give an hour and half in return for the seven days of blessings. Then your blessings during the following seven days will be sweeter.
 You may not like the preacher. Per haps it isn't his fault. Try another church.
 You may not like some member of the congregation, and have drifted away for that reason. But he is probably trying to get right. Are you?
 Remember the searching words "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast stone. Get right with yourself.
 Make up your mind right now to go to church next Sunday. You will be happier by doing so and you will make others happier.
 Religion is doing much for you and your business. Don't hold back. Don t shirk. Get in and work

NAME OF ARKANSAS.

All fathers and mothers in this state should teach their children why the name of Arkansas:
 Arkansas is of Indian origin, and means "Bow of Smoky Water. .' It was received by the French from the native Indians, and committed to writing in French word. According to sound in the French language it should be pronounced in three syllables, with accent on first and last syllables; the final "s' silent, and this, in it's French yer nacular, transmits to us the word pronunciation of ''Arkansaw. Years ago both houses of the General Assem- bly, adopted a resolution discouraglng the innovation of the word-sound Of Arkansas" in favor of that of Ark ansaw." All established citizens of this state pronounce it "Arkansaw. " Visitors and newcomers are readily recognized as such when they pronounce it Arkansas.

What Is Your Religion?

There appeared in thJ St. Louis Globe Democrat on recent Saturday half-page advertisement under the above hefeing. It was paid for by the churches of St. Louis, and the , arguments of the Christian Religion
 e so good that we reproduce the Advertisement as follows;
 Some men make religion of their business. They are dollarize to such an extent that they have no thought for any thing else.
 Others argue" There is more re- lgion in replenishing my strength on the golf links than in spending an hour in church.
 To others, motoring is "the acme of Sunday service for one's self and fam ily."
 A greater number are wasting their time, strength and gifts on other past times, some of them harmless of them useless.
 But Tn the hearts of all these men there is the still, small voice which cries in time of grief or diversity My God! my God! why hast Tn ou forsaken mel"
 The man who in his angu ish pro- pounds this question has usally forsaken Him who wants to be the Comforter, the Guide and the Strength of every human being.

THE time has come when unscientific patching of country roads ought to cease. The farmer needs good road a great deal more than the pleasure driving automobilist. To the latter bad Aroad means simply little discom- fQrE To the farmer it means many hours of time wasted while he draws his loads through the sloughs of mud.
