Well, the country churches were
here-not as many as there are now
to be sure-but hundreds and
thousands of them were here and
very much alive. too. They were
served by consecrated but poorly
educated men. There were, however,
many learned and scholarly and de-
vout ministers serving country
churches. And the churches were
responsive. The people came from
far and near to hear the preaching
of the gospel Sinners trembled at
the "mourner bench" Churches
practiced strict discipline. The
preachers were treated royalty. Much

RAILROAD ADMINISTRATIONS
TO AID ROAD CONSTRUCvrIoN

Washington, Feb. 18.-The execu-
tive committee OF the American AS
sociation OF State Highway officials
met here to discuss a program OF
road building and maintenance as a
means of assisting in the successful
prosecution of the war
At previous meeting, held at
Richmond, the highway officials
adopted resolution asking Director
General of Railroads McAdoo TO
outline a definite policy for road and
street construction and maintenance
and to furnish freight cars for trans
portation of necessary materials.
The director generals reply was
submitted promising that the rail-
road administration would co-oper-
ate by transporting as promptly as
possible materials for construction
of national highways designated by
the agriculture department as of
military or economical necessity.

rugged men were honest and sin
cere in all they believed and said.
Ihey have now passed into the great
beyond and have found out by this
time that all who put their trusts in
Jesus regardless of what denomina-
ton they unite with are saved and
that Jesus receives all into his heav-
emily home above.
4. Missions. The churches one
hundred years ago were just be
ginning to think and pray about
missions. There were few in each
country church to favor missions.
The majority of church members
were not only against but bitter in
their opposition to missionary work.
But slowly and gradually the i'm
portance and urgency of this work
is growing in the churches and the
wisest men and women in all the
leading denominations are beginning
to dream of a better day when mil
lions OF Christians will contribute
TO the evangelization OF the peoples
in every cline and nation under the
sun.
Education. The religious
statesman of America were begin
ming to pray and work to establish
denominational schools and colleges.
Not only the city but country
churches responded to this call. And
the schools came into existence.
The country churches Of America
are still alive and are at work but
what would they have been if our
forefathers had not laid the founda-
tions deep and well upon evangelis-
tic, educational and missionary
lines?
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1918-02-19

good was done. Religion was q
reality. The Sabbath was strictly
observed. The people were honest
and sincere. They would give their
lives for what they believed to be
right The representatives of the
different leading denominations
would meet in common debate
They were beginning to think and
pray about missions. All were plan
ming to make America a Christian
nation. How well they succeeded
will be left for the reader to an
swer. But let us notice the follow
ing:
l. The loyalty of the preachers to
Christ. Without doubt they loved the
Lord Jesus. They believed pro-
foundly in the Fatherhood of God
the deity OF Jesus and the power
of the Holy Spirit Few OF them
were scholarly. but nearly all of
them had mastered one book--the
Bible. Over hill and dale they
wended their way to some farm
house or log church or brush harbor
and there they would preach with
JUNCTION from on high. Everywhere
they went they carried with them
their Bible and a hymnbook They
were men with faith and works.
Their clothing consisted Of deer
skins and homespun goods" They
lived in the plainest manner and
shared all the hardships Of a pion-
eer people. Their journeys were
hazardous, made so by floods, wild
beasts and the fierce Indians. And
yet they were welcomed every
where. Hospitality to the "circuit
rider" was free and boundless in
every home but the people never
thought of paying the man of God
anything, nor did he ever think of
making any charges. This was the
general rule, but of course 1t had ex-
ceptions. "Yet these men, uncouth
as they would now seem, led multi
tudes to Christ and built I'D
churches everywhere and laid broad
and deep and well the foundations

The country churches are not only
a power for religious instruction now
but they have always been a power
for truth and righteousness in re-
ligious, social, economic and the po-
litical life of America. But before
country churches one hundred years
ago let us first get a peep at the
country at that time.
1t is little difficult to carry our
imagination back a hundred years,
nevertheless, let us try 1t for the
time being, anyway. The country
was nothing like it is today. Every
thing was different except human
nature. The republic OF the United
States was only about thirty-eight
years old. George Washington,
father of the country" has been
dead only about eighteen years.
James Monroe is president of the
United States. The country is en-

2. The churches. In the first
place they were as already indicated
angelistic-made so by the earn.
est and faithful preaching of the
pioneer preachers. Every year the
churches would hold n camp meet
ing" and oft times the Holy Spiri,
would come down in such power as
to convict and convert hundreds and
hundreds of people. At these meet
ings the people would come together
and build tents on the church
ground (churches built of logs OF
brush arbors) and here they would
stay for days and days. The preach
er would often have the help or as
sistance Of some times one. two
three. four or five preachers. The
people would bring their food and
the cooking was done on the camp

had come together for revival
They believed they needed it, they
prayed for it and they expected 1t
and they received a refreshing from
heaven, their children and neigh
bors' children were fed to Christ
they themselves were revived and
all were happy.
2. Discipline. The churches
were very strict. Drunkenness,
Sabbath violation, dancing, falling
out between neighbors, failure to at
tend church, etc, had to be answer
ed for by the violator and unless he
asked the church for forgiveness he
was excluded.
3. Debates. The Baptists, Meth
odists and Presbyterians were then
as now the leading denominations in
the south. One hundred years ago
IL was a very common thing for the
ministers of these denominations to
meet each other in some we'll adver-
tised community and spend an en-
tire day discussing doctrinal ques-
tions. Each would denounce the
other denomination. 1t was thought
to be sin-almost objectionable
sin, to be a member Of the other de-
nomination. But these faithful and

! purgatives will not give nature what
she needs. She changes the chemical
! nature of many drugs that we take,
according to our body's condition. She
will not change those things she lacks

taken into the system gives nature,
her tools. Armed with TIE power to
protect herself and heal herself, ma

and we at once feel as though a grea.

Nature, during winter, changes the

habits, continue to do those things
which are against nature. Then far

creep weaknesses and lack Of proper

Winter and Catarrh are companions

to do and we pay no heed.

and making a complete circuit of the
body every few seconds. In these riy-
ers, brooks and stream!ets OF blood
flow millions of little soldiers called
corpuscles. whose duty 1t is to heal
hurts, expel the enemies of man
germs-from the body and carry away
impurities.
Nature, with the blood. builds bone
and hair and teeth and flesh. She
does this so quickly and with such
absolute perfection that If we put into
our mouths and stomachs the things
the body needs, nature will distill her
own chemicals and build up any torn
down portions.
Catarrh is tearing down Of mu-
