BRO. CRAIG breaches
TIMELY SERMON

At q time when the whole
world faces the need of a grea;
er production of food stuffs
and in line with the campaign
towards that end that is being
carried on throughout the ma
tion, Rev. r.. j. Craig preach
ed a ~strong sermon at the
Methodist church last Sunday
morning.
His preliminary scripture
readings were Gen. 1919, and
III Thess. 3:11, while he chose
Exodus 20:9, as his text: "Six
days shalt thou labor and dc
all thy work" part of the fourth
commandment.
The necessity of labor on the
part of every member of the
race of mankind was plainly
shown, and many striking and
forcible illustrations were Civ
en- demonstrating the fact that
nature demands activity, and
let it be remembered that ac.
tivity means growth and life,
while complete lack of it means
decay and death. Solomon's e
advice is: Go to the ant, thou
sluggard, consider her ways
and be wise," then watch the
busy little bees as they 60 from
blossom to blossom gathering
their honey bit by bit; notice
the squirrel and yellowhammel
busily storing their winters
food. and we will be reminded
OF the necessity of untiring la
Dor, and preparedness in the
way of a bountiful supply Of
food stuff.
Bro. Craig made an eloquent
appeal to the large congrega.
ton OF eager listeners, for ev..
cry one to use all possible op-
portunities to produce food
stuff, for unless much is done
along this line, starvation fac
es the world, owing to the
great worldwide shortage ut
food material.

WAR NOTES

The United States will build
a large fleet of wooden ships
of about 1000 tons capacity to
be used in carrying supplies to
the European allies. Three
ships will be built each day
when the work is fully in ope-.
ration.
The British and French ar
mics are now carrying on a
great offensive movement a.
gainst the Germans in France,
land are daily capturing posit-
ions and prisoners.
There is much talk of peace,
and large odds are offered in
New York that the war will not
last 80 days longer.
Special commissioners from
France and England are ex-
pected daily to arrive in the
United States for consultation
over the war situation.
The question Of whether our
army shall be raised by con-
scription or volunteer is now
occupying the attention of
Congress.
Congress has passed the bills
authorizing an expenditure Of
seven billion dollars, as the
first item Of expense for war.
Some money, SOM and only a
starter.
Remember Cheefoo and mole
st. Nicholas. In other words
don't believe all the weird
tales printed in the daily press.
They are inserted to excite the
people-and to sell papers. :.
Keep cool. An excited man
is a useless one generally.
MASS MEETING SATURDAY
Remember the mass meeting
to be held in the courthouse
next Saturday at one o'clock
for the purpose of discussing
the food problem. Citizens
generally should attend as this
is a question of vital impor-
tance in these times of all bu.
universal war.
