First Epistle of Paul to the
 CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 1.

CHAPTER l. Paul, called to be an apostle o1 Jesus Christ through the will of God pand Sosthenes our brother,
 2. Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctl- fled in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
 3. Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
 4. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which IS given you by Jesus Christ;
 5. That is every thing ye are en- riched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
 6. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
 [. So that ye come behind i'll nc gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
 8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless In the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
 10. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined to- gether in the same mind and in the same judgment.
 II. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentious among you.
 12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and l ot Apcllos and I of Cephas; and or Christ.
 IS. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
 IA. I thank God that 1 baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius j;
 15. Lest any should say that l had baptized in mine own name.
 16. And I baptized also the house. hold of Stephanas: besides, l know

not whether I baptized any other.
 IT. For Christ sent me not to Dap tize, but to preach the gospel: nol with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none eI- feet.
 IS. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foollshness ; but unto us which are saved u IS lne power of God.
 19. For it is written, will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and WILL bring to nothing the understanding ol the prudent. 20. Where is the wise? where IS the scribe? where is the dlsputer ol this world? hath not God made 1ool- ish the wisdom of this world? 21. For after that in the wisdom oi God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foollshness of preaching to save them that De- lieve.
 22. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
 23. But We preach Christ cruclhed,, unto the Jews stnmblingblock, anu unto the Greeks foolishness
 24. But unto them which are callea' both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom or God.
 %. Because the foolishness Of Cod is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
 26. For ye see your calling, pre- thren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
 27. But God hath chosen the toollsh things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
 2S. And base things of the world and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not. to bring to nought things that are:
 29. That no flesh should glory i'll his presence.
 30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sane tifieation, and redemption:
 31. That, according as it is written, He that glcrieth, let him glory in the Lord.

 RosPERITY
!. PROGRESSIVE TOWNSHIP.

"A remarkable instance of what rpra1 township can do in sanitation II it really makes up it's mind to be pro rressiye is given in an article Just published by the United States puphc health service. Cape Fear township in New Hanover county, N. G., started cut last summer on a sanitary cam rnign under the combined leadership cf the county board of health, the state board of health and the United States public health service in Will mington. N. c. As a result there has been great improvement in sanitary conditions. According to reports that have just come in, every school house and every home in the town ship is provided with sanitary con- voniences
 If there is any other rural township il. the entire South that can show a progress equal to this, it ought to come to the fore and let itself be known. When study of several hun dred counties shows nearly one-halt of the farm homes without any sani- tary conveniences at all it is mat ter of pride to point to the achieve ments of township like Cape Fear in New Hanover county which dem onstrate itself as being so far ahead of the average.
 While it has been repeatedly claim eG by some public speakers that the South is making more rapid strides in improving it's sanitation than any other part of the country, an ex' animation of tens of thousands O farm homes in the South Atlantic states shows that there are yer many townships where the sanitary inde, is less than on a scale of 100.

WANDERiaGS or A WATCH
Story Told as Simple Truth Is Some
what Of a Strain on the Most
Credulous Mind.

No writer Of fiction could have in,
vented a stranger story than that of
the curious adventures of a watch,
which Capt. George Nichols, an old
time Salem shipmastcr and mcr-
chant, used to tell as the literal truth.
At Manila in 1902, says Captain
Nichols, | employed a Mr.. Kerr to
assist me in my business. He took
a great fancy to my watch, and pro-
posed to give me his own watch with
some indigo TO boot in exchange for
it. We find fixed upon a quintal
and a half Of indigo, worth then
more than $3.50, and | kept my chain
and seals. The indigo | sold for $130
more than the original cost of my
watch, and besides, | got a watch
that proved TO be a better timeplece
than mine had been.
Some twelve years or more after
this | was in company with Capt.
William Lander of Salem, when he
took from his pocket a gold watch.

Once upon a time land
not so very long ogo) there lived
in Okolona a man by the name
of Mi. He labored dill
ligently at his calling and in
time came to be possessed of
more gold than he need to spend
for food and raiment. He was
not a miser and, therefore, did
dot care to hoard his gold. So
he began to look about his home
to see what was most needed to
add to it's comforts or beauty.
He entcced one room after
another L...til he had gone over
the house. Numbers of inn
provements could be made but
the little extra gold would not
pay for the whole. So he set
himself down and began to
count the cost of this and that
and to picture in his mind what
pleasures would be added by
each of the items he could afford
to buy. Finally he decided to
make the Improvements in one
room and the hall. In planning
these he decided among other
things, to purchase a drugget
for the room and a carpet for
the hall floor. These being de-
cided upon, the next step was TO
make the purchase. Now, he
had not been in the habit of
making such purchases and
knew not where to buy.
1t so happened as is often the
case, that an advertisement of a
certain Chicago mail order house
was at hand. This advertise
ment gave a description of the

very thing Mr. was going
to purchase and ended by giving
the price. The price was easily
within his means, so a money
order was purchased and soon
on the way to Chicago.
Now, there lived in the same
town a merchant who sold these
selfsame goods. He waited for
customers to come hunt him up
or to personal solicitation.
When this merchant learned
that Mr. had made the
purchase of the mail order house
he went to him and said:
Il could have sold you these
same goods for the same money
you paid in Chicago and saved
you the express charges.
But didn't know you sold
carpets and druggets."

The above is d true story as
related to US by the man we are
pleased to call MI r. He
bought these goods and paid the
cash for them. The profits
went to make Chicago's richest
man richer, when by just a little
enterprise on the part Of the
merchant, this profit would have
staid at home.
1t is a known fact that
thousands of dollars leave this
city every year never to return.
Much of this money could be
spent at home to advantage of
the spenders; but they simply
are better advised concerning
the goods sold by the mail order
houses than they are as regards
the goods offered by theil
friends at home.

people what you have to offer.
