GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
NOW HAS HANDSOME PEWS

The pastor and members of Grace
Lutheran church in this city are
much elated over their final con-
quest of a difficulty, which has been
a. handicap to the church since the
completion of the building about
two years ago. The congregation Is
not a large one and the financial
strain of building the handsome
church compelled them to use tenn
porary seats until the means could
be secured for putting in regular
pews. With rare devotion and en-
thusiasm the ladies of the church
set themselves to the task of raising
the money for this purpose and by
persistent effort which admitted no
Encouragement, they finally secured
enough to make the order for the
seats and have them shipped here.
They arrived few days ago and
have been put in place, and those
who attend Grace Lutheran church
tomorrow will be delighted at the
great Improvement. The pews are
of stained oak, handsome and com
Portable, and were made by the
Southern Seating Co., OF Jackson,
Tenn, at cost to the church OF
1914, of which $50 remains un-
paid.
Rev. W. e. Pugh, the jealous
pastor of the church, and all the
members desire to. express through
the Telegram their grateful thanks
to those people of Lakeland whose
generous contributions have enabled
them to make this much desired i'm
provement in their church furnish
ing, for without this assistance
there would have been perhaps a
much longer delay The Grace du-
theran people are justly proud of
their church auditorium now, with
its handsome modern pews, and will
be glad to have it inspected by the
public generally.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
No. 37.-EarIy Lessons In Thrift.
BY T. D. MAcGREGOR.

The lessons of thrift and econ
omy are a capital to the children
of poor parents. Thirty.
Those who object to school savings
banks. it is safe to say, have not looked
thoroughly into the workings of these
splendid agencies of thrif.-
One objection raised sometimes is
that poor children are mortified by the
smallness of their savings as compar.
ed with those OF the children of the
well-to-do. This has little weight, be
cause 1t Is the children Of the poor
who are the largest patrons of the
school banks.
Every individual has some hard
knocks coming to him in the course
of his life. The sooner the child
learns to save money the better will
be his chances for success when he
begins to work for a living. The
younger he learns the lesson Of thrift,
the better his start.
In Duluth, Mimi, the school savings
system is success. One of the banks
placed in the hands Of each pupil a
booklet, entitled How Fortunes Begin
and How They Grow" 1t is a text
book on thrift, and undoubtedly it will
inspire the ambitions Of many boys
and girls in way that will make for
their lasting good.

The bank has received the approval
