A Remarkable Sunday School.


Small beginnings often make large
endings. In the year 1855 the Amer
lean Sunday School Unions organize /
n small Sunday school in remote
county in Kentucky. The school has
met continuously every Sabbath eX-
cept for Il short period during the
civil war. 1t is located many miles
from any railroad.
From its organization to the pres
ent time about 900 scholars have been
enrolled. So, the average attendance
has not been so large.
From this little Sunday school in
the backwoods there have gone seven
ministers of tho gospel, one mission
airy of the American Sunday School
Union, one candidate for Vice. resi-
dent of the United States, one lieu
tenant governor of Kentucky, seventy
two school teachers, thirteen mer-
chants, ten lawyers, thirteen prac-
ticing physicians.
In their youth, 200 scholars in this
school united with the church, and
no person connected with this Sun
day school has vecr been convicted
of any crime. Some who received
their moral training here are now
occupying important positions in 9th
err states, in colleges, banks, and MS
successful business men.

the man is charged was committed in

MIR. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.

Madison Heights, Va.-Mr. Chas. A,
Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have
been taking Thedford's Black-Drauphi
for indigestion, and other stomach troub-
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine | have ever used.
After taking Black Draught for a few
days, | always feel like a new man,"
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling OF full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms OF
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and. permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
medicine of known curative merit.
Its 10 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford's Black

Liquor Traffic In Africa.

Recent reports show that in British
West Africa the importation of spir-
its has swollen from 4,705,878 gall
Ions in 1906, to 6,355,l88 gallons in
1911. In French West Africa there
has been an increase from 5000, 200
litres in 1908, to 7,303,215 litres in
1912. However, new regulation of
the Belgium government came into
form in the Congo at the beginning
of the year, prohibiting entirely the
sale of distilled alcoholic liquors of
all kinds to the natives, and the sale
and manufacture Of spirits has like
wise been prohibited by Portugal in
the Congo district of Angola. The
duties on spirits in West Africa has
been increased by Germany, France
and Great Britain. In British West
Africa local distilling and the impor-
tation of distilling apparatus has
been prohibited, and in Southern Nj
geria it has been decided to substi-
tute silver currency for the pernic-
ious currency in gin.

The Press

Dear News
remember telling the editor once
upon time that there were four
great civilizers: the press, the pulpit,
the public school, good roads. There
are for us us we now live, these. |
do not claim that have named them
in the order of their priority: but |
am sure that each has Il large view
of important and far-reaching re,a-
tions.
Grave, If Not the Gravest," is the
subject of DR.. j. N. Ivey's leading ed
itorial in the Christian Advocate. a
week or two since. When | read
the heading in the list of the subjects
discussed in the paper, said: "What
is this that is SO gravel" Turning
to the subject, l found it to be dis
cussion of the subject of the relation
of the printing press to ministerial
usefulness and the success of the
church of Christ. He says: "The four
prime agencies which the Holy Spirit
used in carrying out the mighty pur-
poses of God made plain and possible
of execution by Jesus Christ, are alb
solutely dependent for their highest
functioning power and results are the
thing that we call the printing press.
And DR.. lvey shows that every true
picture of Christian success is Il COM
posite picture blending in form ant
rejecting in life, individual or corpor-
ate, the power of the preached word,
the Christian home, the Christian
school, Christian life. And he goes
on to say the power which does more
than all other agencies combined, be-
cause always at work, if for no other
reason, yet receiving less help, less
recognition of its contributions to-
wards making human life sane,
strong, and an enlightmeri and bless
ing, is the religious newspaper. He
says that, in effect, still, there is no
doubt nj the world, no reasonable
doubt, but that the press is the lead
ing factor today in the mnr.h of civ
ilization. When the dream OF print
ing came into the mind Of Gutenberg
it was of greater significance than
when Franklin caught Il spark of
electricity from thunder cloud by
means of a key attached to the string
of flying kite; greater than that of
Morse, WHO achieved the renown of
being the father of modern telegra-
ply.
A good county newspaper is as inn
portant in its sphere as a religious
journal in its sphere. / do not decry
religion, but religion isn't everything;

ed, would be better for n people than
Il poorly conducted religious journal,
so-called, splitting spite and spleen
at everybody that does not agree with

What Think Ye OF Christ

To those who are in intellectual diff
ficulties about the person of Christ,
| would say, with Bishop Gore, it is
your wisdom to drop everything for
the time and go back TO the very
center-to Christ himself-and an
swer "What thinkest thou of Christ 2"
You are not infallible; but with the
many cnofiicting voices around you,
you must take the intellectual trouble
to answer the question for yourself.
You must give your own answer.
Many person drifts away from
faith because of intellectual laziness.
Whatever you do, don't doubt by au-
thority-that is, do not doubt because
someone else doubts. Nothing can
intellectually justify that. Do your
own personal, intellectual best-make
up your own mind. "What thinkest
thou of Christi"
If Jesus Christ is man,
And only man, / say,
That of all mankind III cleave to Him
And to Him will cleave Away.
But if Jesus Christ is God,
And the only God,I swear
I'll follow Him through heaven and
hell.
