URGES RELIGION Be
PUT IN PRACTICE
Rev. G. w. Allison Declares
Command to Ezekiel, Eat
This Roll" Meant Same.

Religion in Practice" was the
theme Of the sermon at Hope presby-
terrain chapel yesterday morning by
the pastor, George William Allison. 1t
was popular discussion of the live
question of living in accordance with
ones professions or faith. In part he
said:
There is a strange command given
to Ezekiel in his record of his own
experiences contained in the third
chapter % his prophecy. Books IN
those days were written upon rolls OF
papyrus or the more expensive parch-
ment of sheepskin. There came to
him the strange command to eat the
rol which he found in his possession,
and upon which there was consider
able priting; then TO go to the house
of Israel and declare the things con-
tanned in the book. He was in our
less poetical and more curt speech,
to put his religion into practice This
writing was TO be studied, until 1t was
thoroughly known-literally a very
part of him. He was to live it.
'In the New Testament we find this
strange text. too, The word became
flesh and dwelt among us full Of grace
and truth Ii was spoken of Jesus.
He was the very incarnation of the
law and love Of the Father-God.
There was no inconsistency between
His teachings and His living. He
lived the doctrines He taught. He put
His religion into practice.
Live It UncOnSciOusly.
Practice what you preach is the
prOverbial way of stating this truth.
Eat this roll said the Hebrew. Let
your belief become so much a part OF
you that you will live it unconscious
ly. Let there be no glazing inconsist-
ency between what yau say you be-
lieve and the way you live daily.
What you are thunders so loudly
cannot hear what you say said En-
erson. Your deeds speak more elo-
quently than your words. You say
you are a Christian. Do you live like
one? Do you put your creed into
practice Have you eaten your roll ?
Have your words become flesh and
dwelt among men, TO put this rever-
emily?
And unless your life corresponds Ia
what you say you believe, you are
more of a hindrance TO the cause OF
Christ than a help. What does this
demand, then? We are all conscious
of more or less serious failures to live
perfectly. as we acknowledge we
ought 10 live.
What shall we do. then? Leave
the church, Deny Christ before men
No A thousand nos emphatically
But make public confession of our
failure, and continue our determine
ton 10 live more nearly what we wish
with tomorrow's help and strength
Christians today than yesterday We
ought be still better tomorrow. In
other words, Our ability TO live our
faith in practice ought be progressive
Put your religion into practice. and
give the lie 10 the most severe criu-
Cism the church ever receives. name
ly. that she does not live the faith she
processes"

REV. DAVIS DISCUSSES
ELEMENTS OF PROGRESS

pr. Henry l.. Davis pastor of the
First Methodist church. sunday morn
ing preached on the subject, Some
Elements OF Progress" In part he
said:
PHILIPPIANS like many Christians of
today believed they had attained the
heights OF Christian advancement
They were Christian perfectiOnists OF
the baser sort. Paul told Us OF an
other perfection-which was that OF
progress.
There are three possible conditions
of human life-balance. There is that
position OF "A dead level. meaning
growth nor decay but which usually
ends in decay. Degeneration, which
means that the individual is not wait
ing for the appeals of good but is
Yielding 10 evil. Evolution. wherein
the individual is not only successfully
resisting the attacks Of the devil. but
is answering the appeals of good This

Sunday Night Blaze Destroys His Gin
merry and Eleven Bales OF Cotton. No
Insurance.
Mr. Hugh S. Wallace, the well
known Shiloh farmer, suffered a heavy
loss Sunday night when his ginncry
and contents were almost totally de-
stroyed by a fire of unknown origin.
The fire was first discovered about
midnight and had apparently been
burning but a short time The first
indications of it were discovered when
Mrs. Wallace, attracted by a reflection
on the wall, looked out Of the window
and saw the blaze. She awakened Mr..
Wallace, who rushed out to save what
he could. The farm bell was wrung
and a general alarm given, but in
spite of the assistance rendered by
willing neighbors and friends, the
building and contents went up in the
flames.
In addition to the ginncry and about
eleven bales Of seed cotton in the
building, four bales of lint cotton ly-
ing on the ground nearby were lost
Mr.. Wallace estimates his loss at
around $500. Although Mr.. Wallace
carried insurance on nearly all Of
his other buildings, he carried none
on the ginncry or the cotton, SO the
loss is q total one.
Mr.. Wallace states that he is al a
loss as TO how the fire originated
There had bccn no fire about the gin
merry in several weeks and, SO far as
he knows, no one has been about the
building recently cXr /. himself and
boys. who were there but few min
utes putting buggy under a shed the
day before. He docs not smoke him
+ and does not allow smoking on
the premises, SO there was never a re-
mote possibility of The fire being
started from carclcSSly thrown
match. The ginncry is several hun
drcd yards from his residence, so
sparks could hardly have flown that
far even had there been fire in the
house at that time OF night Some
think that the fire may have been
started by rats or may have been of
inccndiary origin

great automobile contest has been Of
fcred and now the race is down the
course to the home stretch. In lit
tic less than three weeks, the votes
cast in The Advertiser office will de-
eide who is going to ride in the ar,
tomobile, or who is going to listen to
the 500 talking machine, or who is
going to win the beautiful watch, or
who is going to win the $25 gold piece.
The last three weeks Of the contest is
going to be the livcst Of them all
and the contestant who puts forth the
most effort in that period is most
probably going to turn out to be the
leader when the votes arc counted.
The eyes Of the county arc now upon
the contestants and when the leader
goes under the rope at the end there
IS going to be much rejoicing on every
side. The popular candidate always
wins.

cial so prize offered for the most re-
newals turned in by Saturday after

made excellent scores in the special

Tentative programs of tile annual
convention Of the Southern CONNER

s. c., December 1917, 1915, have
been sent out. This is no doubt the
most important convention held for
the South in fifty years. It's scope is
varied and far-reaching. 1t is no more
commercial than Industrial; no more
industrial than agricultural; and no
more agricultural than educational. 1t
is not unbnsinGss yet it promoter
of business; it is not interested in any
educational institution, yet it pro-
notes research; 1t has no land to sell
yet 1t Is creating a demand for land
1t is not national advertiser yet it's
work prompts a widespread and COM
pelling OutburSt Of Southern munich
pal and real estate advertising. It's
discussions are along such lines as
the Panama Canal and its influence
on the South, our harbOrS and indcnta-
tions, as for example, the fact that
the South from Baltimore to Browns
vile exceeds the Pacinc coast by 9
miles to and tho No4.h Atlantic by
4 to 1; or that, Of the $4,000 miles nav
igablo streams in the u. S., the South
ha' ,oneiiting her $4,000 omtting the
northern part Of the Mississippi and
the whole length of the Missouri and
Ohio rivers.
The Charleston convention will ex-
press all that is involved in the
words Victories OF SO years OF
peace. The program is an immense
one covering three days, and each
phase OF the subjects will be discuss
cd by a specialist. There will be ad-
dresses by President Wilson; lIx-Pres.
Taft, the governors of the Southern
States, Oscar Straus, former sccrc-
tary Of commerce and labor, j. NJ
Dickcrson, former secretary Of war
w. }. Bryan, former secretary of
state, President Hcbben, OF Princeton

Graves Secretaries Daniel and Gar

othars.
The Womens Auxiliary Of the Con-
gress will be addressed by a number
leading women of the South. Among
those Of local interest is Mrs. Jno.
Epperson of Tennessee, president Of
the Press and Authors Club. Mrs.
Eppcrson is well known in Laurcns
and occupies prominent place in
Southern literature.
Mrs. Jno. Cart is State President
for South Carolina There will be an
address by Mrs. 70. Gibbon, Mrs. Har-
mon Leiding, Mrs. j. w. Allen and
Mrs. Cora Cox Lucas, treasurer of the
Southern Writer'S league. Besides an
address by Mrs. Lucas. she is also up
on the program rs Chairman from
Laurens county. These are deserved
honors to Mrs. Lucas and gratifying to
her many friends in South Carolina
and Tennessee
The WOmen's Auxiliary was organ
lied by the parent body because of it's
conviction that there was certain
work peculiarly fitted to women.
Those who feel interested in making
this greater nation through
greater south, should confer with
Mrs. Lucas.
