BAPTIST CHURCH
CLOSES TONIGHT

Thursday evening there was quite
a large attendance of Sunday school
workers and scholars though the
rainy evening prevented many from
being present. DR.. Kings message
to these young people was based
upon Christ's interview with, the rich
young man. Mark 10 chapter This
young man is addressing the greatest
teacher thus What good thing
must l do to inherit eternal lfe?"
Yet in his life he held something
more dear than the coveted tight
eousness. Jesus sees his strong points
as we'll as his weak ones. A glorious
day when we discover our weak
points and set about repairing them
Each one has his weak point 1t
rlay be drink, secret sins, love of
pleasure, temper, an uncomfortable
tongue. inordinate love of gain, ly-
ing and eXaggeration Hero DR..
King told interesting incidents which
pointed moral for the young peo-
pie. There is a weak place in some
natures which if not strengthened
vii! lead to the ruin of that char
acter. Jesus sees the one thing lack
ing in this upright and moral young
man Study your character and you
will find often there is one weak
place that will prevent YOU from
mounting up higher. One weak place

not tried to remedy will be his down

women have built up the weak places
in their characters. Jesus puts his
finger upon the cancer in the young
mans life-his love Of money
Jesus loved this young man and aaid

HOME GUARDS OUT
DESPITE RAIN;
WILL ORGANIZE
SATURDAY NIGHT

Inc rain, coupled with some con.
FUSION as to the meeting place, oc-
casloned by the fact that the CITY
commissioners We're holding a meet
ing in the City Hall, combined to
make the attendance small at the
gathering to form a company Of
Rome Guards last night. However.
those who were present seemed
deeply interested, and every person
expressed determination to make
the movement "go".
After a thorough discussion of
plans, aims and objects, it was decid
ed to hold another meeting in the
City Park ON Saturday night at
which time it is hoped that every
person interested will be present and
the organization can be effected
Capt. w. Y. Carter gave general
information as to the purposes of the
organization, etc, and laid particular
stress on the fact that under no cir
cumstances could this Home Guard
be ordered to do duty outside of Polk
county. Some persons, who appear
to be slackers themselves, would en-
courage others to be the same, have
given out the impression that the
Home Guard can be called out for
duty at any place the authorities
may see fit. This is absolutely un-
true. and no person need hesitate to
join the Home Guards through mis-
apprehension that he will have to
do service anywhere except in Polk
county.

J. F. Townsend Gets
Contract For
Lake Wales School

After many delays from various
causes, the contract for the Lake
Wales school building has at last
been awarded and j. f. Townsend,
who is the successful man, states
that he will be ready to begin work
upon the structure the latter part
of July
When the County School Board
met at Barlow Tuesday to open bids
for the school building it was found
that there was but one bidder. Mr.
Townsend his bid being for SIG.
SO. As the total bond issue was for
hut $4,000, it appeared that new
plans would again have to be submit
ted and bids called for in order to
bring the cost down to come within
the appropriation. After considera-
ton by the county board and the
local school board it was decided to
cut out some features which are not
necessary for the present needs and
this brought the cost of construction
down to $226l5. The architects fees
and the cost of the lot will take the
greater part of the balance.
According to the present plans the
school will be built of red brick
(though buff color may be substi
tuted) and five class rooms togeth
er with the large auditorium will be
completed on the first floor. The
classrooms on the secon floor will be
left unfinished,
Contractor Townsend has already
ordered a part of the material anC
proposes to put on large force o'
men when it is on the ground. He is
ambitious to have the school com
pleted so that the fine auditorium
can be used for the Christmas exer
cises.- Lake Vale Highlander.

Exalts Value of Organization.

The value of such an organization
cannot be overeStimated, President
Hamilton said. 1T gives a new intelli-
gence to our work and fuller purpose
to every nerve that stimulates man to
do what he knows is right. 1t teaches
US to know that we are servants of the
people, and all Of US who have within
US anything of worth must feel that
the expression of that worth is in the
discharge of duty. When that duty en-
ters into the lives. the safety and COM
fort of our fellowmen it is a sacred
duty"
Continuing, Mr.. Hamilton discussed
the two general classifications of serv-
ice, that which meets legal but not
real requirements. and the stronger
and further-reaching service which is
not gauged by the clock. He urged ex-
pansion of the associations activities
in order that every person connected
with the company might develop a
keener interest in each other and a
higher regard for the duties performed
by each. By meeting thus socially and
discussing our COMMON duties and
problems, he said, we will come to
know and respect the men who, be-
cause of their effort and interest. can
be depended upon at all times and un-
der all circumstances.
