BRANDoN,s STATEMENT

T am deeply conscious of the com pliment which my fellow citizens and friends throughout the state have paid me in asking me to make the race for governor of Alabama. To know that the people of this county who have re- gently elected me to the office of pro- bate judge believe me to be qualified for this high office is exceedingly grat- flying. However, there are many things to be considered before I announce my decision. I am daily receiving numerous letters from throughout the state ask ing me to make the race, but until make thorough canvass of the situation l will withhold my announcement.
 However, I will say that 1 consider the office of governor worthy of any mans ambition and if the people of Alabama desire me to make. the race I will announce my candidacy later.''

In MeInoriam

In loving remembrance of a kind
and loving brother who, on August
10, 1914, answered the call of the
white winged Messenger. We can
not understand why be came so sud-
denly and took Van P. Armstrong.
He was greatly missed in his home
and by surrounding families. He
united with the church of the
Brethren in 1918, and he tried to
do the will of our dear Lord. May
we all who are bereaved by the loss
of a faithful and affectionate broth
er keep our eyes open, fer we know
not when the call may come to us.
Van has gone to meet his moth
er, far across the deep blue sea,
and | hope to meet them later and
to meet them face to face. They
are gone but not forgotten by their
loved ones here below, | am prey
ing for to meet them far acrcss,
bevond the deep.
Van was 20 years, 3 months and
81 days old when he was killed. May
God help us to live and Try to DO
His kind will!

Something Doing
Every Minute

Rev. C. T. Collyer, of Wonsan,
Kerea, thus describes a mission
ary's typical Sunday:
1.-The work of the Sabbath begins
with Sunday school, in which all
the members of the church and q
good many heather are studying.
This Is followed by the preaching
service. After this there are al
ways those who wish to talk OVER
something with me. AS we live
about three miles from the church
Collyer carries lunch along. Just
as soon as lunch is over it is time
for the children's afternoon Sunday
school. Were you to drop into
this Sunday school | am afraid you
would think it quite disorderly,
but when you have been some
time in Lorea you will learn that
there is no occasion in Korean life
when folks are expected to keep
quiet--even a funeral is noisy.
THE remainder of the afternoon is
spent with the Korean helper i'll
visiting in the homes of the people.
Christian and heather, where we
have many interesting experiences.
Altogether Sunday is very busy
day."

Woman Workers In England

The amazing economic chan 9
that war has brought to Englar d
is indicated by statistics showing
that there were fully 100000
more women in active employment
on March l, 1916, than on the cor
responding day twelve months
earlier. The change has affected
woven of the leisure and well-to 10
classes, women'in remote hamlets
as we'll as in the cities. This great
army of women is serving in count
less occupations formerly almost
monopolized by men, including the
hard physical labor of tilling the
soil. While thousands of women
and girls have left the country to
find employment in the cities, other
thousands have been shifted from
the cities, where they lived, Ito the
country districts where the huge
munition factories have been erect
ed. Anxiety is felt in some quarters
over the effects of this upheaval of
organized society on conditions in
England when peace is once more
restored. But as the women have
adapted themselves so readily to
military necessities, it seems reason
able to suppose that they will know
how to adapt themselves to the
changes that will follow the cessa-
ton of hostilities Rochester

Best of Care.

A physician tells in the Newark
Star a story of a philanthropic doc
tor in a Pennsylvania mining town
who gave a new thermometer to each
family, with the urgent advice to keep
their houses at a proper temperature.
When he was making his rounds
one day he saw his Thermometer
hanging in the room. He asked the
woman of the house II she remem-
bered his instructions.
Indeed, sir, I do" was the response.
Il hang the thing right up there, and
I watch it carefully to see 1t does not
get too high"
Good" exclaimed the doctor. "And
what do you do when the temperature
rises above 70 degrees?"
why, sir" answered the woman,
with the air of one faithful to a trust,
when it gets too high, take 1t down
and put it outside until 1t cools off,
