Beware the Gray Eye.

Among the gray eyed there are few
who retain any spiritual emotions.
People with gray eyes are superficial,
frivolous, given to embrace false idols,
running down blind alleys, following
false prophets, thoughtless, inconsid-
erato, wanting in sympathy, neurotic,
unstable, not firm and deliberate, but
rash and impetuous.

10. To Disciples He was plain
in announcing His terms. -Undi-
vided service and complete self
denial.
Such was Jesus attitude to-
ward the men and conditions of
His day. The century in which
He lived bore a stricking resem-
belance to our own. Eager
curiosity, social unrest, lively in
tercourse between different parts
of the world, the developing
spirit of coSmopolitanism and
sense of human brotherhood, the
disappearance of old and famili-
ar landmarks, the multiplying of
religious sects, the common ques-
tioning Of traditional standards,
the prevalence both of rational
ism and superstition, the loss of
faith and the search for certain
ty."
Possibly the greatest change
in the modern world is from the
simple to the complex. Your
grandfather, possibly made his
own shoes. But that was only
an incident in his life. He was
a carpenter and erected his own
house, a blacksmith and made
his own tools, a mechanic and
made his own furniture, while
his real occupation was that of
farmer. His wife seeded cotton
by hand, dyed it, carded it, was
able to spin it and weave it into
cloth and make garments for
husband and children to wear.
Between them these two were
the masters of nearly a dozen
trades. Today in a modern shoe
factory there are SO distinct ma
chimes for making pair OF shoes
and it takes that many men l,
make one palr. Livery work
man is related to his fellow ant
all are interdependent. 1t wa,
easy to keep every one in righ
relations to every one and evel
to God.
Our civilization has brought
many problems Old problems,
many of them, new form-Prob-
ems of the individual and OF
society of the home, the church
and the state; capital and labor,
the right distribution of wealth;
among working people and
among the idle rich; the race
problem, the immigrant problem,
the whiskey problem, At bot
tom all problems are religious
problems. Christianity, with
Christ at the center, is the only
solution.

Christ and Men.
BY Rev. J. F. EDDINs.
Synopsis of talk to men.

Dy llOkJSlO Vi Jdlh W IllCIls
who do men say |, the Son
of Man, ann" Math- 1912,
Finst, let us notice how Christ
dealt with different classes of
men,
/. The Poor. When John,
the Baptist, sent to Jesus to ask
Him if He were the Messiah, Je-
sus said, Tell John that the
poor have the gospel preached to
them" F" Again He declared,
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me because He has anointed me
to preach the Gospel to the
poor"
2. The Rich. He was enter
tanned by the wealthy. He res
pected the right Of property, re-
fusing to take sides in a contro-
versy over an estate. To the
rich young man who claimed to
have kept all the commandments
he said: Zone thing thou lackest,
go sell all that thou hast and
give to the poor" He had a
doctrine for the rich Of all time.
He warned them that had their
hearts set on money, declaring
that it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of needle than
for a rich man to enter the king
dom of God. The poor readily
respond to the Gospel. The rich
are more tardy. Yet it is posi-
BILE for them to enter the king
dom and they shall.
3. The so-called laboring clas-
ses. He was one of them, being
a carpenter by trade. THE Ia
borer is worthy of his hire" " is
his maxim, which if applied
would solve all disputes between
labor and capital.
A. To the Powers that be He
was submissive, paying tribute
and teaching that the things that
are Caesars S should be given him.
5. To true Seekers after truth
he would spend hours in earnest
conversation, as he did with
Nicodemus. For the seIf-sufi-
cient, conceited, worldly-wise he
had not a word.
6. To the Doubter, if he
were at all honest, Jesus was
sympathetic, seeking to show
the light, as was His attitude
towards Thomas.
Z. To the impure he had a
straightforward word, LET
him that is without sin among
you cast the first thrown" was
his language to a group of men
accusing a woman of impurity.
The same law of chastity for
both sexes.
s. About Hypocrits he had
more to say than about any 9TH
er one class of men. The relig-
ious leaders of His time were
such. His denunciation of this
class was most severe.
9. His dealings with Sinners.
He was called their friend. He
ate with them. Il am come to
,eek anu 10 save that which was
iost." He went where sinful
men were, seeking to raise them
up.

Interest Increases in Contest
Votes are Coming In Rapidly
The Ladies Are Now Interested More than Ever.

The arrival Of the Piano to be
gixen away in our popular voting
Contest has made the contest q
very lively affair. The ladies
now know just what we are
going to give and see its real
worth. They are well pleased
with our selection and are all
now looking forward to the last
count when each one hopes to be
the possessor of this elegant
Remington Piano. Of course all
can not win this prize, but this
fact does not deter them from
hoping and working to win.
Especially. is their hopes high
when they remember that there
are a number of other prizes
we'll worth the effort that will
be pat forth to win the piano.
The announcement last week
Of the 1000 extra votes to be
given with each lot Of 40 Mer-
chants coupons brought to this
office at one time and counted by
us has kindled a new interest in
in the merchants coupon part Of
the contest. This is well, for
: these little jokers are going to
play a very important part when
1T comes to counting up the
totals in the end. We doubt not
that these votes will decide the
contest. We do not expect any
lady to secure enough coupons
for subscription accounts to
come out winner. The neWspa-
Der account will be too evenly
divided for this account to play
the deciding part. Still it will
take both kinds to win, that is
our opinion.
= If you have not yet seen the
piano, we would invite you to
call at Seymour Jones store and
not only look it over but give it
a trial and convince yourself
that we are not giving away a
thumpbox, but a really good
piano, cne that has good strong
company behind it with their
guarantee backed by a reputa-
ton of many years standing as
one of the leading piano manu-
facturers-Th Starr Piano Co.
If you are not a judge, ask some
of your friends who is to come
with you and give the instrument
a trial. If you want the price
of this instrument and just what
the Starr Piano Company claims
for it, write the Company at
Birmingham, Ala, and you will
get the information. We pro-
pose that the winner Of this in
strument shall have all the guar
antee and backing they would
have wure they buying the
piano from the company direct.
The next count, as announced
last week, will be made March
9th. At the conclusion of this
count we will award a special
prize or $1,000 in gold to the
LADY who gets the most votes be-
tween the iirst and second count,
also announced last week. Keep
these in mind and remember
that these special prizes are well
worth some effort to win.
The following merchants will
leach give a prize and issue votes
IN the'contest, viz:
Z. S. Elliott, Dry Goods;
Seymour Jones, Furniture;
Okolona Hardware Company;
Droke Jewelry Company;
Bearden & King, Druggist.
Goods will cost you no more at
these stores than elsewhere, be-
NS9s they give coupons which
help yon win one of the
y; les offered in this contest.
