FIVE POINTED SAYINGS

"The most important committee
in the c. f.. society is the one you
are on."-D. A Polling.
The supreme opportunity for
service is now before the church.
Not since the day when the church
was established has there been any
thing like it. This is the greatest
day for the ministers of the Gospel
that has ever been known, the day
for which they have longed and
prayed Wilbur Chapman.
"The Sunday school army of the
United States numbers approximately
twenty million. 1t has been estimat-
ed by some of our leading Sunday
school men that approximately one
million of the men enlisted in the
Army and Navy were enrolled in the
Sunday chools."-Marion Law
renee.
Urge every member to come with
some stranger, some one who has
never before attended n social of the
society at the next social you are
planning. Hold a "get-acquainted
social" after the churches are open
again. .
The Kansas City, Mo-, union
twenty-five years ago appointed
committee to direct the attention of
the Mayor and the police to the sa-
looms open on Sunday, contrary to
law. If the boys in the Army can
do without the saloons in the pres
ent day, then the fathers and moth
ers ut home can be examples for
their boys away from home.

knows nowadays the need of the In

is the second and last year of the
allotted tame for securing the sew
enty-five new societies by the Penn

Brownwell, president of the Alle-

into the work and many societies
are claiming front-line honors. He
writes: Our aim for. the fall and
winter is high, higher than for some
time past. Not because we are in
the best shape to tackle the bigger
propositions, but because the need is
greater that we carry forward our
ideals, the ideals of Christ and His
Gospel, to the young people of the
county.
Our fall advisory board meeting
was held on September 10. The
largest attendance in years. A fall
program was adopted that will re-

fore it is absorbed into the blood
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
each day leave in the alimentary
organs a certain amount of indigest-
ible material, which if not elimi-

which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which
are Intended to suck in only nourish-

A quarter pound of limestone

consider that internal sanitation is
vastly more important than outside
cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
