CAPABLE of Moral Proof

Capable of Moral Proof
We said in beginning that belief
was incapable of mathematical demon
stration 1t is. But it is quite capable
of moral proof, and such proof concern
ing God is ours in abundance. The old be-
liefs in fetishes and witchcraft; the
old faith which clung to multitude
of Gods, have passed away. They lie
by the side of the road that man has
travelled; cast away because their
falseness has been perceived; because
they were hindrances in the race that
man had, and has before him. Only
those beliefs have survived the severe
elimination of the passing centuries,
that have proved their potency to help
man in his headlong fight toward God.
The very fact that the belief in God
persists; that the shock of arms: and
the rack of cruel torture; and the
scorn Of shallow culture have all
been powerless to overthrow It, all
plainly declares that 1t is grounded on
reality; that it's roots are deep in the
shadows of eternity; and it's topmost
branches in the kingdom of God. In
every age life has judged past beliefs.
At every crisis in the worlds history.
the beliefs that had not made good
were ruthlessly cast aside. Here we
have faith that has stood the shock
of every storm; that has survived the
persecution of it's enemies and the gross
abuse of friends. Each generation has
saved 1t as priceless treasure from
the wreckage of its past and by the
light of it each generation has ad-
vanced into a new and fuller life. Be-
lief In God has led men to a knowl-
edge of God; and such knowledge of
God has led to deeper belief And
through this splendid and ever recur-
ring cycle man has come, up from the
darkness of savagery to the light of
Christian faith In this belief man has
ever found a unity and a beauty and a
holiness in complex and wicked
world In this belief in God man has
always found that which makes a life
of pain and struggle so we'll worth
while.
He that cometh to God must "be-
'lieve that He Is, for He has rewarded
them that diligently sought Him"

Seioner of the United States bureau Of

would mean continuous school sessions
and through which 100000 children might
BE enlisted in vocational work.
programme for summer vocational

smitted to the commissioner by Clyde
Allison Mann. secretary of the American
Society for Thrift He approved the idea
and expressed the belief that one voca-
tfonal teacher in each school should be
Iemployed all the year.
Should Teach Nature Study
These teachers should teach nature
study and the principles of horticulture" 3"
said Mr.. Claxton, going from home to
home, supervising garden work and con-
'finuing work during summer vacation.
Public schools of the country repre-
eent an Investment in buildings, grounds
and equipment of nearly 1000 100000 and
that this investment stands idle about
one-quarter of the time for no other rea-
son than that in primitive days both teach
ers and pupils were needed on the farms
three or four months in the summer.
For school gardening the equipment
Is small item and vacant lots of the
city, now idle, would be better for cul-
1ivation.'
Mr.. Claxton pointed out that in Europe
public schools last year produced $780,
100000 through their vocational work. He
estimated that probably 100000 children
could be enlisted in the United States

would yield s1oo0oo.000 annually.

sumo PEOPLE ONLY half ALIVE.
DODS0N'S LIVER TONE CLEAN
YOU OUT and WAKES
YOU UP.

When constipation is having its
evil effects on your body and brain
Nature is doing her best to offset
them an overcome the cause itself
But usually Nature cannot do this
unaided.
In the past many suffers at such
time used &c turn IL DANGEROUS
calomel in hope of relief. For some
people Gallo nel does appear to give
a temporary benefit, but as a mat
ter OF fact it is poison that proves
to be lnjurio is and even dangerous
to many. If you have ever taken
calomel you probably have suffered
from evil conditions following it's
use.
But nowadays great numbers of
people have learned how to feel
better, brighter and healthier by
taking Dodson's Liver Tone instead
OF calomel. Indeed, this harmless
vegetable liquid is recommended bv
Hooper's Drug Store and by the
Sylvia Pharmacy who will refund
the purchase price to you without
question if you are not completely
satisfied with it.
Get a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone for Soc. and learn for YOUR
yourself how easily and naturally
it assists Nature in getting rid of
and correcting constipation and
blllousness, how it clears away the
sick headache and coated tongue
and sets you right without ache or
grippe, without any interference
with your regular habits. Fine for
the children. They like to take it.

DAYS OF PROGRESS
Bright Tobacco Saved Them.
Prosperous People in the
Old Free State"

Kenbridge. Va, January 10.--Not in
the memory of tho eldest citizen of
Lunenburg County can n year be re-
every respect as 1913. The wheat crop
was by far the largest and best we can
recaH; oats woro never better: grass
was cut short by few days drought.
corn was up to the highest mark, both
in quantity and quality; while tobacco
Went by leaps and bounds beyond any
record both in quantity and quality,
and prices are from 20 to 80 cents
higher on all grades than they were
NJ the opening OF the season.
The two years prior to the past year
were dry years, and our farmers had
gotten in arrears in their payments
for fertilizers and money borrowed on
their crops. At tho beginning OF last
spring they were very blue over the
outlook for another crop. but through
the kindness OF Providence, we were
blessed with ideal seasons and the
advance prices OF tobacco cleared IN
our old debts and placed us on the
right side Of the prosperity ledger.
and mt the Same time created within
us new spirit from which we are
sanGuinc OF further replenishine our
gamers In 1914.
. - 'ste eopstSeo Has DeCoine tho staple
crop of this part OF .Lunenburg, and
from It we are now deriving our
largest revenue. Take the experience
OF few farmers residing within q
few miles OF Iienbridge. and look upon
what tney accomplished the past year
in growing bright tobacco. j. M. Mel.
son bought ninety-three acres of land
at $40 per acre. Practically all the
land was standing In timber ana with
out q building on It. With one man as
helper he grow over $4,000 worth of
tobacco. besides other crops, such az
corn and truck. On farm adjoining
this one three young men grew over
$4,000 worth OF tobacco. over / 900
bushels of corn, fourteen large stacks
OF oats and large variety of truck.
These adjoining farmers did not nav
out single dollar for other labor.
They assisted each other and there
were no losses by either party 1t Is
safe to say that our bright tobacco
lands yield an average OF from 500
TO Sl25 per acre. Some or our farm
ors made a much better yield than that.
OF course, 1T any rate, it is needless
TO say that our lands are advancing
and that homeseelsers arc coming In
and paying fancy prices for some OF
them.
