" WIN Jesus! "
"The Translation and the Tribula-
ton was the subject to which DR..
Dodd spoke yesterday afternoon. in
the series of addresses on the Sec
on Coming of Christ"
by Translation" said DR.. Dodd,
I'VE understand the lifting UP. or
snatching up Of those Christians who
are alive at the second coming OF
Christ, to meet Him in the air. BY
tribulation we are to understand
that period Of three years and half
when all the righteous people are out
Of the world and with Christ in the
air. before He returns to establish
His reign on the earth Of the thou
sand years.
The second coming Of Christ
teaches US watchfulness above all
other things. for we are taught by
great numbers Of scriptures that He
shall come at an hour when we least
expect Him, or as He says, as a
thief in the night At that time
then will occur the resurrection or
the righteous dead. and the transla
tion Of righteous living. This tran.-
lation is not, as is often quoted. the
catching up Of the living into the
clouds, but 1t is the catching up of
the living in clouds. There will be
such great numbers of them that they
will resemble the clouds in their
translation. The nearest figure we
have is that Of the western plains.
WIN grasshoppers come in such vast
numbers that their fight actually
darkens the face of the sun for hour.

And then shall come the great

wonderful forests of pine, cypress and
other timber; with its system Of good
roads and transportation facilities; with
its schools, churches and other advan-
tages; truly, Naschitoches Parish can
be said to be the Farmers Home.
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES.
The public school facilities of the
Parish Of Natchitoches rank with the
best in the State. The idea of the
rural consolidated school prevails, and
practically all the children in the parish
have opportunity of attending graded
or high school. There are five ap-
proved high schools located in the par
ish, besides the Model Training School
at Natchitoches in connection with the
State Normal School. Consolidated
schools are numerous, having from
two to five teachers.
1t is the purpose of the School Board
to have erery child not in walking dis
lance transferred. The parish now has
twenty-five transfer wagons ranging
in type from the one horse wagon to
the two-toa auto transfer. There are
many places in the parish where it is
necessary to maintain only ohe-room
schools. When this is done, it is the
purpose of the School Board to place a
strong teacher in chare who is capable
and uqaliied to give the best, lnstruc
ton to those children.
Natchitoches Parish spent last year
about 1925, 10000 for public schools.
Teaching and maintenance cost about
81. so per month for each child in at
tendance The average attendance
was 81 per cent, based upon the en-
rollment, there being II per cent of
tho white educables in the parish in
school
In connection with schools, the par
ish maintains model, up-to date agri
cultural farm, where the most approx
ed and successful methods of forming,
stockraising. etc, are being taught to
the boys of the Parish. Also there is
a domestic science school, where the
girls may receive instruction in home
economics, thereby fitting themselves
to be better ho;ne-makers. Besides
the Goldonna Agricultural Farm and
Domestic Science School, there are a
number of the consolidated schools
teaching these branches very success
fully.
WELL PROVIDED WITH CHURCHES
Natchitoches Parish is well provided |
with churches. There is diversity of
belief. The parish has every
legree of soil, varying climate and
variety in every ether phase of life,
md it is but natural that there should
,e diversity in religious belief. No
where on earth is every man left to
Worship his God in his own way more
han in this section. The Baptist, the
the Episeopalian, the Metho-
list, the Presbyterian, the Hebrew

WILL DAM CANE RIVER.

The parish is traversed by Red Riv-
er, Cane River, Old River, Bayou Pierre
and many .other streams and lakes,
giving ample facilities for water ship
ment or transportation if needed.
While there has been no development
along this line in recent years, the
possibilities are here and can be utilized
at any time. Recently the Police Jury
of Natchitoches Parish made an APP
preparation to dam. Cane River at a
point four miles above the City of
Natehitoches, and at a point just above
its junction with Kisatchie Bayou, a
distance of twenty-four miles. When
completed this will make one of the
most beautiful lakes or water fronts
any country can have. It will be a
feeder to the railroad and market
centers, and will add wonderfully to
the beauty and utility of a grand
stream.
Natchitoches Parish is well provided
with a number of live towns and
trading centers. The leading towns
of the Parish are Campti, Marthaville,
Robeline, Provencal, CloutierviIle,
Powhatan and other smaller towns;
but the largest single community IN the
parish is the City Of Natchitoches.
The City Of Natehitoches being the
veteran town in the State, in years
gone by, it was coatented to rest on
its laurels as historical center, but in
later years it has awaken to the true
spirit of progress and push. 1t is a
center Of education, thrift and industry.
