the money accumulated in the boun-

the sum of $1,464.66 in interest on
such claims has been saved to the

AFRAID OF THE CHURCH,"

Some one remarked during the bcor-
tiful and somewhat spectacular CHI
drens service in the Methodist church
last Sunday, that such services taught
the children mot to be afraid of the
church" There is Il great dcal in tho
statement. Many of us remember.
how timid we were in church whc-
we were children. We were afraid
the church, and specially afraH : the
preacher. He was to be shunneo, a. p
lodging him and keeping out of his
way was one of the chief things to be
done always. The advent of tine
Sunday School and the inauguration
OF special services for children, has
done away, to great extent, with
this unnecessary and harmful fear OF
things religious. Children are. thru.
Sunday schools and their numerous
celebrations and exercises being taught
not to fear but to love and rcsoect
the church, and through The Sunday
Schools the gap between the child and
the church which yawned with what
seemed dark and bottomlcss pit,
has been bridged. There are men and
women, too, in every community who
seem to be afraiG Of the c'lurch-so
much so that they "nnot he induced
to enter one at = am ;lers who
do attend seem afraid to let their
voices be heard in church. Bold and
fearless in other pla IS, they are
dumb and timid in churci.. These
IN nearly all instances, were not ia
miliarized with church matters and
affairs when they were young, and
so go through life afraid of tn,

CONSOLIDATION OF CHURCHES.

(Roanoke World News.)
Speaking of the talk and agitation
in some sections of the country over
u plan to consolidate weak churches
IN certain communities, the Clinch
Valley News says:
Every one of us are absolutely
sure that we are right and more or
thodox than our ncighbor, and if any
consolidating is to be done, he must
come to us. So, there we are, and
there we will continue to stick, and
content and excuse ourselves with
some sort Of cooperation, however
poor and half-hcartcd it is. Still
this consolidation agitation should
and will go on, and when the millcn-
mum comes will crystalze and be-
come reality"
Division and dissension i'm the Chris.

cult to understand. What the founder
of the Christian church taught is
simple, direct, and absolutely free

and dogma of infinite variations and

modern views of religion, that not

A post card received by Roanoke

much wisdom and wealth Of sound
sense, clothed nonscnses, accordingly,
with his permission, it is hereby repro
duced for the benefit and edification
OF the community generally:
"You enter this world without your

leave it whether you're ready or not.
When you are helpless babe, the
women all kiss you; when you are
grown up they wont reciprocate. If
you save money the trusts get you. If
you are poor, people blame you. If
you are rich, they envy you. If you
are religious, they call you hypo-
crite. If you are not they say you

THINGS ORNAMENTAL AND
THINGS USEFUL.

To unite and combine the useful
and ornamental is not always easy
but generally possible and always TO
be desired Numerous illustrations
and instances will readily occur to
the mind To eXaggeratc one at the
expense of the other is often done.
Extremes are to be avoided. An har-
monious combination should be
sought The effects of such combi-
nation is seen in the arrangement,
care and attention given our homes,
our churches, our streets, GU: show
windows, our automobiles and oPhcr
vehicles-our farms. All of these
things are useful and if their value
is enhanced by ornamcntation. A
house may he useful as Il place of
residence and shelter, but ornamen-
tai trees and paint make it more so,
and so on ad iniinitum.
We have in mind several organi-
cations in our town that arc both use
full and ornamental. These are clubs
and societies composed of women, of
course. The Ladies Library Club,
The w. c. T. u, and the Cemetery
Association, The Civic League, etc.
These organizations are doing great
work for the town, combining harmo-
niously the useful with the ornamen-
tai.
And in every town there are such
organizations that are saving the men
from themselves md-hcathcnism.
Pity-shamc, that these bcnefccnt
organizations should not have more
hearty and enthusiastic support in
their beautiful labors of love.
Another organization we have in
mind-The Board of Trade. Up to
this time this organization has been
purely ornamental. If it has anything
to show for its several years of cxis-
tence, outside of it's ornamental value
the same does not appear Its orna-
mental value is something. "Tazc.
wells Board of Trade" sounds good
and like the Governors staff of Colo.
nels, may show up to advantage i'm q
parade. Would it not be we'll t.
elect number of the wives of tho
Board as members? Might not b,
bad idea.
This town, as do all other towns
needs TO keep in mind that it is moi
simply "a worm of the dust" T,
live is privilcge-to live well ant
happily is likewise Il privilege. an,
also duty.

APPLES.

Apples are born on trees, spend Il
large part of their lives in barrels
and are buried in pies.
The are several varieties, such as
"The Apple of Discord," "The Apple
of My Eye" adams Apple" apple
Jack" and "Appleton's Encyclopo-
dia."
There is also u variety known as
"Pippins." These have rosy skin
and frequently look better than they
are.
Apples, unlike melons, are eaten
tro':, the outside in, instead of from
inside out, but some times when green
produce an insidc-out sensation.
The only part of an apple that can
not be eaten is the core; on reach
ing that part of an apple you may
want more, but are compelled to stop,
hence the origin of the familiar cry:
Encore
The apple is said to have caused
the first fall of man." but since then
the banana has given it IA hard race
The three personages who have
done the most to make the apple fa-
mlliar are Adam, William Tell AMI
