CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. Rev. G
H. Mckinney spoke last Sunday morning IRON
the last clauses of the goth and Path verses OF
the 18th chapter of John. The thought OF the
sermon was Joy, its influence and quality
C hristianity has long been called the religion
If sorrow. Its center is the cross, the mark Of
" bich is upon every heart. The human story
ia that of the discipline of pain. The shadow
of suffering created fear. The prevailing idea
was that of Power waiting to crush. Ano
SO self torture, with the hope of pleasing God
and an unwilingness to admit that life is
pleasant, became a part of ancient theology
Man cried out when he was hurt and spoke
little of his comfort The element of pain in
he education of mankind was given too mucn
prominence. Religion became long faced. linen
a new element began to influence the human
haracter. We are no longer the pupils OF
Adversely, but of Prosperity. Science has
done away with half of the old suffering IL
has brought comforts and pleasures. Is too
much happiness safe. was the question OF oio
theology. Today we do not wholly trust 1t.
History records SO many nations rottlng IN
pleasure that it is not strange that we mistrust
it, But it was not joy that condemned; but
the quality of their joy. The vital question OF
the church of the day should be, how are we
to relate pleasure and moral life. Are we to
crv down all institutions of pleasure; to teach
gospel of prlvstion rather than prlVi-
lege? The day is dawning when the chufcn
will take care of the amusements as well
as the sorrows of the community. Churches
built with this in mind will have rooms for
amusement and be no less The house OF
God. We may accept joy as our blrthrignt'
our OILY fear need he the quality OF 1t. Inc
drupka1d finds his pleasure in his cups; the
martyr in his torture. Both experience JOY.
but of what different quality. Here relig-
ion must guide. 1t must teach the dlner-
ence between legitimate and illegitimate pleas
ure. IL must make known the richness of Joy
on every hand and train the mind to avoid that
is debasiEg. The soul must be developed
until its instinct is along right lines In the
unset and in the bird song there will be
glimpse Of God. Noisy externsls will cease to
attract. And the soul thus educated wlil're-
oce with joy uns peakable at the sight OF God.
A special effort is being made for the enlarge-
nent of the Sunday school in all departments.

DfOuth Alarming.

The douth in this county Is becom-
ing mast serious. All crops are show
ing the effects of it. The gardens are
drying up fast and there will be no
vegetables unless the situation is re-
lieved in very short time by copious
rains.
Drouths are becoming annual affairs,
it seems, as wiGhin the past four years
three of them have experienced
dsouthS of disastrous effects. In 1911
there was virtually no rain between
late May and August, while in 1913
there was practically no rain during
August and September and many
crops we're Iuiued This season the
same conditions have prevailed, &C
comp panied by terrific heat. The
farmers lot seems to be getting hard
er and harder each year.

Death Of Mr.. L. c. Hurt.

The people of Columbia were great
ly surprised, last Wednesday morning,
when a message came from Lebanon,
stating that Claud Hurt had just died
at the home of his brother, Mr.. Edwin
Hurt, in that city. His illness was
not known to his Columbia friends, in
fact, they did not know he was in
Lebanon, he having lived in Louis
vile for the past four or five years
The deceased was born and reared
in Adair county and was son of. the
late j. w. Hurt. His mother, Mrs
Margaret Hurt, one sister, who re
sides in the South, and three broth
ers, Jerome, Henry, and Edwin. sur
vive him.
We learn from his brother, Edwin,
who lives in Lebanon, that the de-
ceased reached his home about one
month ago. He was sick when he ar
rived and he gradually grew weaker
until the end came, though at times
he appeared to be better.
The body reached here last Thurs
day morning about O'Clock, stopping
at the home of his mother, where
many called to view the remains.
At three O'Clock in the afternoon
the casket was conveyed to t h e
Christian Church where funeral dis.
course was preached by Ed. z. t.
Williams, and at the conclusion of
which, the remains were bourne to the
city cemetery and there laid to rest
by the side of his father.
The deceased was in his thirty ninth
year. He had served this county as
deputy Sheriff, under his father, and
at one time was school teacher. His
second wife died about eight months
ago. There were no children. The
News joins the people of Columbia in
extending its profoundest sympathy
to the mother, sister, brothers and
other relatives

School Affairs.

The most serious proposition that
ever confronted the school people and
the school patrons of Adair county
now looms up before US. With the
unprecedented drouth of last year and
the still more unprecedented drouth
of this year, bringing distress to our
doors, we must make change IN some
thing like two-thirds of our public
school text books. Twenty school
book companies each have slice of
the. pie in furnishing the books, The
contracts with these companies have
just been signed binding those com
panieS to have the books on sale by
the first of August. In the mean
time the schools are beginning, with
no contracts with merchants yet
signed for selling the books of the new
addition,
wish to say to the people Of Adair
county, buy no books yet, and if some
of your children have no books, let
them wait till the new books are here
before starting them TO school. Any
old books that are sound, not torn, can
be exchanged for new books OF the
same grade at 50 per cent or half price
of the new ones during this school
year, but it can not be done during
the four remaining years of this con-
tract.
This law will be enforced; merchants
who handle the new books will be
bound in their contracts to do this,
and penalty for failure to do so is
provided in the law.
