Rev. Arthur Varley and Singers from TaftviIIe Congregational Church Bring Cheer in SheItering Arms Ser vice-Rigss-Vo Weddins-Road Repairs on Wauwecus Hill-Oxen Pull Automobile from Mud.

Rev. Arthur Varley, pastor of Taft vile Congregational church, gave a most helpful address Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms. The texts chosen were Christ's words Seek first the kingdom of God: and PauPs words, Desire earnestly the best gift, and Be ye filled with all the fullness of God. Putting these pasSag geS together, he said we find in them a strong, pro- found appeal. We ought to get at the real, deep, abiding things. The crNt of life is hard, uneven, disappointing. The things that last over into eternity are the things worth while. Some think that to eat drink and be merry makes up life. There are some who think If 6 man does an honest days wOkr, pays his bills and cares for his own, it is all he can do. All this does not go far enough. We go wide of the mark if we measure life by the material stand point.
 sweeter, more abiding, if we would
 only realize it. In the midst of close, sharp immediate demands we want to look out lest in bitterness and bewil-
 derment we let go our moral anchor
 ages, our hold upon divine things A
 man may have all that wealth can
 bring and yet be the most miserable
 soul in Gods universe. And one may
 be deprived even of the necessities and yet be infinitely richer and happier than many others.
 Be filled with the fulIness of God, with something of His love, power, light and peace. Seek first for that. Lay up treasure in heaven. Believe in God and have great hopes All these make up the riches of the soul. Our doubts and anxieties would be brushed aside and life would be a better thing if we could live for the things that en-
 dure.
 The musical part of the hour was most enjoyable. There were two solos
 on the flute, Beautiful Isie of Some where and He Leadeth Me, by Joshua Heap. Miss Hazel Banfield gave the contralto solo My Task and Miss Jennie Kendall, soprano, rendered There is a Song the Angels Sing. The
 anthem Sing Aloud Unto God was given in fine harmony. Miss Howie was at the piano. About 20 coming from TaftviI1e were present at the ser vice.

PRESS RULE

The Missi ssippi Press Associa-
ton passed a resolution at its
meeting in Laurel, in May, 1917,
requesting each paper in the State
to charge l cent a word per inser.
ton for For Sale, I" Wanted, A."
For Rent" notices, obituaries,
cards of thanks; also charge l cent
a word for any notice OF church or
opera house fairs or entertainments
of ANY KIND WHEN THE
PUBLIC is CHARGED AN AD-
MISSION FEE. The / cent a
word charge is recommended be-
cause it is simple and easy for the
public TO figure the cost Of such
notices. If the public is not charg-
ed to attend a public affair, then
the paper should give the publicity
free.
The newspaper of today is busi-
ness institution and while the news
papers naturally do much free adj
vertising as a public duty, yet it is
hardly fair TO call on the newspa-
per to advertise FREE anything
for which a stipulated fee is charg
ed Few newspapers in the State
do so, any way, and the resolution
given above expresses the correct
policy of the newspapers OF the
State.

WE ARE AT WAR.

ltisa strange thing that there
are large number of people in
this country who do not yet realize
that the United States is at war
real war-and that battles can not
be won without bloodshed and
death.
With the history of almost three
| years Of the war in front of us, we
can not understand how people
can be so deluded.
England made the same mistake
early IN the war, but at that time
the magnitude of the affair was
not foreseen and there was proba.
bly, some excuse for the mistake.
But now there is absolutely no rea-
son to think thai victory will come
to the Allies of the United States
without the active participation Of
this country in battle. Russia has
tailed the Allies at what would
otherwise have been the deciding
point in the war. If Russia had
thrown her might in the battles
this year is is possible that vic
tory would have been won before
1918. AS it is, there is no telling
now long the war will rage. and
1t is now admitted by France and
England that they cannot win
without the assistance of the United
States.
Do you think that the United
otates haa conscrlpted 10000, 900
men just for the fun of the thing
Just to see if could be done?
10 you think that this country
IS Offering billions of dollars in
ponds just for the purpose OF
spending OF loaning the people s
money?
The officials at Washington
know that this country must fight
TO the very best of its ability both
with men and money.
1t you are an American citizen
desire to remain free, you should
get in the game 10 the best OF
your ability. If you are too old
70 60 to the front, then buy war
oonos' raise food, make amunition
OF DO something else for our coun-
try. Don't be Stacker.
