When the rain keeps you at home,
do you worship the Lord there?
A childrens' service next Sunday ut
Garneill at 1880 a. m.
All of last week was spent in the
Oxford community. Services every
night except Thursday and Friday
nights, at the Root house.
At the officers and teachers meet
ing ut Garneill, Tuesday evening, it
was voted to inaugurate an inter-
class contest for the purpose of in
creasing the attendance and men,
bership committee of three was APP
pointed to formulate a working plan.
The inter- class contest idea has been
great success in other places and it
is sincerely hoped will bring about
the desired results at Garneill. 1t is
worth trying anyway.
Mrs. Cleveland, of Straw, who for
some time has been very helpful
friend Of the ladies' aid society there

The people on Tennessee bench GER
tainly know how to entertain preach

pastor will forget the kind treatment
received at their hands. May the
dear Lord richly bless them.
Mrs. Clara M. Dyer, treasurer Of
the ladies' aid society ut Straw, who
has been visiting relatives in the east

selves to the pastor and his family by
contributing ten dollars more to the
PASTORS salary. making it total up to
ninety dollars since Dec. ].
Are you being patriotic today?
Perhaps it is well for us to give lit
tie consideration to the word "pat-
riotism." Ask any school boy or
girl and you will be told that patriot
ism is loving ones country. Cor.
rect" you reply; but what is ones
( country? Why, the fields and forests,
the lakes and rivers, the mountains
and valleys, etc. Yes. But more
truly ones country consists of it's
inhabitants-its men and women. it's
boys and girls; for to deprive coun-
try of its people is to deprive it of
practically all it's interest. Do you
then love your country! "Oh, yes,
of course" you reply. But, you
know, loving is serving. You can't
love II person very long without doing
something for HIM, or at least want
1 to. "But some are unlOvable,' you
say. But that is all the more reason
why You should love them. Such
people need your love more than do
the attractive ones. Jesus loved the
thief on the cross. lie also loved the
fallen woman. Suppose you try low
ing the ENJOYABLE and thus be truly
patri ,tic. Not only on the fourth OF
July but all the year.
