TRAINS HIS BOOSTERS ~
WITH BOXING GLOVES

Atlanta, March IA new way OF
training fighting cocks has been in
vented by Fred G. Hunter of Allan
ia. Putting on a pair of boxing gloves
he gets down en- his knees in front OF
a cock and gives him a biff with his
left. OF course the rooster, if he's
got any fighting blood at all, comes
back with beak and claws. Then Hun
ter swats him with his right, sending
the bird whirling acros the ring
Thus they have it back and forth
the rooster never getting close enough
to do any damage to Hunter with its
beak or claws, but always coming
back for more. Hunter finds that
the exercise not only trains the roos
ters to stand a lot of rough mauling
bat hardens their muscles and i'm
proves their wind.

Halves in Market Square Presby-

on Christian Science-A False Re-

Science Church was said to be mis-
leading and as characteristic of the
false religions.
Following a reading of the tenets
of the Christian Science Church by
DR.. Hawes, he showed the points of
difference between the Protestant
Christian Church and the Christian
Science Church.
Among these were: Disbelief in
the story of the creation of man in
the image of God; denial of the per-
sonality of the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost; denial of the reality of sin
and of judgment of men for sins;
denial of the personality of satan, of
necessity of prayer, Excepting a
form of the Lords prayer; denial
of the resurrection of the dead !;
ministering of angels, atonement of
Christ, the existence of angels or
the doctrine of divinity.
