A large number Of delegates from
here attended the Christian Endea-
vor Convention Of the eighth dis
trict Union which was held in Dan
willie March 1925. This delegation,

vention as being the largest ever
held in this district. A number Of
excellent speakers were heard,
among whom were the Rev. Homer
Carpenter, Lexington, DR.. Garfield
of Center College, and C. +. Evans,
field secretary of the Christian En-
deavor Union. One of the most in
teresting things Of the convention
was the meeting with the Deaf

WEST END sUNDAY-SCHOoL

The contest between the Reds
and blues" at West End Sunday
school closed Sunday with an attend
ance Of over two hundred. After the
review had been ably handled by the
superintendent, the crowd adjourned
to the front of the house where they
lined up and counted. The Blues
were far ahead in numbers. but the
Reds" contented themselves with
the thought that they had been'lead-
ing during the quarter and had q
majority of the Immediate COM
munity.
The real victory has not been the
increased attendance during the past
three months, but the increased in
terest on the part Of the parents in
the Sunday-school work. And the
fact that the contest is over does not
mean a loss Of interest. The West
End people feel that there is not a
community its size in Madison
County that has larger attendance
and a greater interest and pride in
its Sunday-sch work.

EVERY CITIZEN A PRODUCER

The greatest step toward Pre-
paredness" is Ia feed the people.
Food supplies are so high that
wages at their present rate Of in
crease do not satisfactorily meet
the situation. therefore we must
supplement our income by produc-
ing our table supplies.
An investigation Of Berea reveals
the fact that there are vacant lots
enough in town 10 supply the peo-
pie with vegetables for one. year
and then have some To spare. -
There will be a meeting OF the
Berea Civic League Monday after
noon, April 2. at three o'clock in the
Vocational Chapel to which all
owners Of vacant lots are invited.
Vet every citizen who has vacant
Tot, or can get the use of one, be
present at this meeting and discuss
plans for cutting the high cost Of
living.
Let us work together for well
supplied table next winter.

soUTHAMERICAN OPPORTUNITIES

South America is thinly peopled.
The Spanish and Portuguese COVER
ments, which divide South America
between themselves in ii9i, made
little effort TO attract immigration
of their own people and denied ad-
mission TO peoples of other lands.
The lands were administered as
crown colonies. Large land grants
were made to court fayorites. There
Was little opportunity for individa-
al enterprise, even il the continent
had been open TO enterprising men.
II was only after the latin republics
had thrown of the rule OF Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the i'm

populations, and the continuance OF
the great land holdings, which were

A SACK OF WORRIES

A wayfarer carried a heavy sack,
under which he toiled and COM
planned increasingly. From none
could he get help or comfort.
And as he slowly journeyed,
groaning under his burden, the
Angel of Optimism came to him and
spoke kindly, saying:
Brother, what earliest thOu?"
The man answered surlily, my
Worries"
The angel smiled pityingly upon
him and said, LET us hook into thy
burden and examine thy Worries"
And so they looked in. But lol
the sack was empty.
why, surely" cried the man,
there were two great worries, too
heavy for man to bear. But - an,
yes, l had forgotten one was q
worry of yesterday, and so it is
gone"
"And the other?"
IHdt-Wly, tndt was WoITy VI
tomorrow, and tit has not come
yet"
Then the angel smiled with in
finite pity, saying:
"Hearkenl He who bows himself
down under the worries of yester-
day and tomorrow wears himself
out for nought. But he who carries
only the worries of today has no
need Of a sack for his sorrows. IL
thou wilt east this black thing aside,
and give all thy strength and cheer
and courage to the things Of today,
real misfortune never can burden
thee"
Wondering. the man did as the
angel commanded.
And as he took up his journey and
went lightly, swiftly on, his heart
and his hands were free TO relieve
many a brother wayfarer Of his
burdens and to pluck sweet fruits
and flowers along the way side.
And when he came at last to the
setting of the sun it was with smiles
and a song.-The Christian Herald.
