AT THE METHODIST CHURCH

Prefacing morning service was the
baptism of the two children of Mr..
and Mrs. r. E. Smith by the pastor,
Rev. Smith Hardin. who spoke of the
early conversion of many of our
great leaders. He referred to the ear
ly ministry of Christ in the temple
and recommended that our young peo-
pie give their hearts to God now.

ond from Romans xii. IL. ALI religious
recognize prayer in some form and
to some god. 1t is necessary every
where to pray. 1t was leading ele-
ment in patriarchs. Jesus wrought
miracles through prayer in Gethse-
name. His last breath was a prayer
mad now at the throne of grace He
intercedes for US. We need no bugle
call to prayer. Prayer is the present
ing Of desires to God silently perhaps,
or as Jacob, Isaiah. Nehemiah or
David. Now. as never is need of
prayer-sincere, expectant, distinc-
tiye, adoring, confident and humble
prayer. We must look for returns
with reverential submission, depend
ing on Him. We need family affairs,
prayer in the sanctuary and IN busi-
ness life. We must seek the spirit of
prayer and continue instant in
prayer for divine mercy today.
Evening discourse was from Gen.
xii. 8: Joseph beautiful type of
strength and loyalty, because Of
jealousy sold into bondage by his own
kin. We need men like Joseph who
can be depended upon, in freedom or
in Improvement, in peace or in war.
Not such men as the zutler, who
when promoted forgot his deliverer,
but finally came to his senses, ac-
knowledging his faults. Joseph was
the greatest man on food conserva-
ton that the world has ever known,
and at the time of his country's dis
tress he was its salvation because he
never forgot God.

SOME GOOD QUICK WORK

There has been in the city for a
number of days man by the name
of Johns, recruiting labor for some of
the Northern public works. He had
some credentials but the labor re-
cruiting laws are now very strict
about moving labor from one state to
another, especially where the labor is
needed for local work.
Mr.. HI. M. Hampton received yes
terday morning his commission as
chairman of the Marion County Coun-
Gil of Defense and this matter came
under his jurisdiction. He got few
citizens together hurriedly yesterday
afternoon, among them a number of
employers of labor and all agreed
that the labor was badly needed here.
Mr.. Hampton stated that he had the
power to act if the labor was actually
needed here, and he merely wanted
to be convinced that such need ex-
isted
Mr.. Hampton then issued an order,
directed to the sheriff's Office and the
police department of Che city, calling
on them to arrest any negroes who
appeared at the midnight trains Gas
it was understood that the men were
to leave last night) and also to serve
notice on Mr.. Johns that he must not
take laborers away from this county
where they are so badly needed. The
sheriff's Office force, the police force
and Mr.. Hampton himself were at
the train. Abont seventy-fve negroes
showed up, but none were allowed to
leave. Mr.. Johns did not get ugly,
and stated that if an objection was to
be made by the authorities he would
leave, which he did, and in conse-
quence Marion county has seventy
five husky negro laborers more today
than she would have had, but for Mr..
Hamptons' prompt action.
Mr.. Hampton very truly stated that
if this man was allowed to take his
bunch of recruits away, he would re-
turn for others, and other recruiting
men would come to such a fertile
field, whereas, maybe they will leave

Twelve MONTHS
AGO TODAY
Our Marion County Boys were Mus
tered In to Do Their Share
In the Great War

A year ago today, at 9 o'clock in
the morning, Company A was for
mally mustered in for the great war.
AS long as we can remember any
thing, we shall remember that little
band of boys and men gathering in
the Sunday quiet of the shady street
and how the silver song Of the bugle
mingled with the solemn notes of the
church bell. That little band is wide
iy scattered now. Most of them are
facing the foe on the battle line, some
are yet working in the camps, and .
few are sleeping the last sleep. Good
little Company A. There never was
finer bunch of boys lined up, and
they have kept, and always will keep,
the honor of their home county un-
furnished.
