An Incident.

A lady received the following
reply from a neighbor in answer to
question as to why she allowed her
children and her husband to litter
up every room in the house. The
sentiment will find Judgement in the
heart of every home-loving person
in the land. The marks of little
muddy feet upon the floor can be
more easily removed than the stains
where the little feet go into the high
ways of sin. The prints of the little
fingers upon the window panes can
not shut out the SUNSHINE half so
much as the shadow that darkens the
mothers heart over the one who
will be but a name in the coming
years. And if my John finds home
refuge from care and his great
happiness within its four walls, he
can put his boots in the rocking
chair and hang his hat on the floor
any day in the week. And if l can
stand it and he enjoys it, | can not
see that it is anybody's business. y
Nichols.
There is scrupulous cleanliness
that makes everyone in the home
miserable and such is always to be
deprecated. But this writer cannot
understand why John must be a
boot" and put his muddy boots in
the rocking chair inorder to enjoy his
home.
The children should be trained to
appreciate cleanliness and order, but
the training should be done in a
tactful manner and should not make
the little people unhappy; rather,
they should enjoy helping to keep
the home tidy. Ard John should
set good example for his boys, by
putting his feet on stool or on the
floor.
I knew mother who used to send
her boys out into the street to play,
FOR fear they would make the house
untidy; and have often wondered,
if these boys would not find home
behind prison bars.
Make home the dearest and sweet
est place in all the world, but it can
be all this and not be outlandishly
.unJid We can always letthei
children's playthings be scattered
while they play; and we can require
them to put them away" when the
play is done.
Let us never be so painfully
neat" as to make our loved ones
utterly miserable" !"

Mrs. Annie |. Rembert For
State Board of Health.

Under the direction of tho State
Board of Health, a statewide cam.
paign will be lnaugurated through a
central committee, headed by Mrs.
Annie I. Rembert, field secretary OF
the State Board of Health, with re-
gard to Tuberculosis, and executive
secretary of the South Carolina An
IT, tuberculosis association, for the
protection not only of the r"'litary
camps of the state against tubercp-
losis, but also of the civilian popu'
lation as well, and for the care and
treatment of those who have con.
tracted the dread disease.
This work is considered vitally
important during the war emergen-
cy, and it is felt that it can be more
effectively carried out in view OF
the rigid examinations which
are being undergone and are yet to
be undergone by thousands of young
men in the state, which will disclose
many hidden places of the malady.
The cooperating committee of
the tuberculosis war problem will
be composed of the tuberculosis
committee of the State Board ol
Health, the county chairmen of the
state council Of defense, the chair
man of the Red Cross organizations
and special agents of the South Car
olina Anti tuberculosis association.
In each county there will be sub
committee composed of the county
county superintendent of
education, a representative of the
county medical association, the
of the county seat, the presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce,
a representative of the women's
club and a representative of the
women's defense council. Mrs.
Rembert will organize these COM
mittees, county by county.

No Religious Services Death of
Mrs. Henry Wise. Stork
Leaves Twins With MIR.
and Mrs. Smith.

On last fourth Sunday there was
no preaching at Mt Zion church
owing to the fact that Rev. P. B.
Lanham was absent, conducting the
funeral services of Mrs. Tom Miller,
at Republican church.
An occasion like this shows
strikingly the lack of a church,
which has no Sunday school.
The crowd assembled, talked
business, war, and politics, and then
dispersed. Not line of Scripture
was read, not a prayer offered. We
are commanded to 'forsake not the
assembling of yourself together,
not just to hear preaching, but to
"edify each other with Psalms and
hymns, and spiritual songs.
A church membership should have
a high ideal of efficiency. This
view is but slightly developed in
many country churches. A Sunday
school helps the condition. 1t al
ways teaches something and gives a
crowd food for thought to carry
home with them.
On yesterday, the fifth Sunday,
large crowd assembled at Mt. Zion
to attend the burial service of Mrs.
Henry Wise, who died at her home
near Trenton on Saturday morning.
Rev. P. 3. LaDham conducted the
service, preaching very appropriate
and beautiful short sermon. Mrs.
Wise was an excellent christian
woman, and her friends and loved
ones sorrow not as those without!
hope. Her remains were laid inathe
family plot at, the old church yard
and the profusion of beautiful floral
offerings attested the high esteem in .
which she was held. Size leaves a
husband and six children, three sons
and three daughters. Could the
sympathy If friends give comfort to
these sorrowing ones, there would
be ample for that, but It rs only

RED OAK GROVE
Good Contributions For State
Missions. Pastor Recalled
at Increased Salary Social
Circle to Meet.

Our three distinct Mission Boards
are one dependent upon the other
for support, not only in spiritual
sense but financially. Most assured
ly each individual state has its own
peculiar needs, therefore methods
suited to one can not be adapted to
all, this fact assured makes 1T the
more important that we do not over
look our foundation work. State
Missions as we see it is the main
spring to the other remaining
Boards.
On last Sunday goodly sum for
State Missions was given at Red
Oak Grove union meeting.
The weather being inclement on
Saturday, none of the churches were
represented and as our officers were
absent also aside from the union
meeting service the members held a
prayer service that was beautiful,
full of unity and love, and at the
prayer service business meeting in
regard to the resignation of Rev.
!G. w. Bussey was discussed, but in
order to be sure of the matter being
lnnanim ously understood, the breth-
iren decided to have it brought up
on Sunday, which was done and i'm
mediately the people heard the state
ment, by our pastor himself. Also
his request, that Mr.. T. w. Lamb
act as chairman, the church was
busy at once, and how eager and
Intensive they were; which, will
make it short to say, Brother

warefare is contrary to the traditions
of the American soldiers. Most all
