Thus three great nations are lust

There is absolutely no redeeming
reature in gossip Even true we do
not want to know the disagreeable
things about our neighbors. Nothing
is more demoraliZing TO man than to
lose faith in his fellows. The man OF

picious of others and does not willingly
believe evil. The lovers of scandal

Nearly every farmer when he has
paid for his farm, educated his children,
laid by some spare change for rainy
days, begins to think about moving to

modern conveniences, he conceives life

il. Nearly every city man hopes at
some time to be able TO own country
home where he can spend his declining
days in quietness and complete rest a.
mid the smoothing influence of apple
blossoms, songs of birds and hum of the
bees. Here he thinks life would be
complete. And 1t is till he tries It..

have the right kind of spiritual

right kind of atmosphere to
breath, which we all know is so

We must pray to God and bring
down His presence and power.
No church can be a soul-win-

portion of it has power with
God.
We must have love for souls.
If we do not love mems souls,

1t was great Joy to be with
our people again after being
kept out of our work for over
two weeks.
Good congregation at White
Plains last Sunday morning and
we enjoved the effort of trying
to preach. Some of those who
heard had the courage to say
that they enjoyed the discourse
very much. We regret very
much that it was impossible for
us to be with these good folks
Saturday afternoon; we have the
confidence in these people to
believe they under the circum-
stances excuse us. Regret also
to miss the Center Grove ap-
polntmeDt in the afternoon.
Some have said that Dr..
Langston preached a fine SER
mon Sunday morning and we
are glad to know that they ap-
preciated his work.
Truly hope it will not be
many more days before we can
get out and see our people in
their homes. If you need our
service we will try to do your
bidding as best we can under
the circumstance.
1T is with pleasure that we are
to have with us on next Sunday
morning at Pageland Bro. B. G.
Ashcraft, of Monroe, N. c., to
lecture to us on some religious
topic of the day.
We are glad to have this good
layman from our sister associa-
ton come over and help us in
the Lords work.
Brethern let us begin now
praying for a great spiritual
awakening in our town and
community, that christians may
be made stronger in the faith,
backsllders healed, indifferences
removed, fellowship restored,
and the unsaved brought into
the Kingdom.

This is July Sth and the peo-
pie are beginning, as usual, to
think about laying-by the crops.
The agricultural writer's and
those who have tried it tell us
that it is NO, time. to quit The
crops. They say that August lst
is early enough to quit, but that
1t is best TO cultivate very shall
low. 1t is probably better to
quit a little early than to plow
up and destroy all the feed roots
on the corn and cotton. So then
we suppose that the advice they
would give would be to cultivate
long, often and shallow.
