Bishop Joshep F. Berry in a message
to the Methodists of the Philadelphia
aret appearing in the Christian Ad-
yocate. Some persons have strange
notions about the church. They seem
to think it is an institution maintain
ed chiefly for the comfort of good
persons. That notion is wrong"

adds, the blind are made to see, the
deaf to hear, the lame to walk and the
sick are healed.
The world is full of persons who
need help. A church that is mere
club on one hand, or a mere cathedral
on the other, is missing the mark And
many churches which are neither club
nor cathedral would vastly increase
their usefulness if they would only
have a great enlargement of heart.

You can pay for bread and honey and
can keep your palate sweet;
But when trouble comes to fret you
and when sorrow comes your
Wy
For the gentle hand and friendship
That you need you cannot pay.
You can buy with gold and silver
things you's got to have to
wear;
You can purchase all that's needful
when your skies are bright and
fair;
But when clouds begin to gather and
when trouble rules the day
Your money doesn't lure friend
Worth while to come your way.
For the hand that's warm and grip

Are what all men living sigh for when
they are sorrowful and blue.
For there is nothing that's so sooth-

then
AS the gladly given friendship of a
fellows fellowship.
A hand upon your shoulder and a
whispered word of cheer
Are the things that keep you going
when your trouble time is here;
And you'll hate the gold you've gath

own,
If you have to bear your troubles and
your sorrows all alone.
If you've served a golden idol you

All the Injuries of living that the

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES.

The Sugar Distribution Division of
the Food Administration called at
tention to the Importance of using
substitutes for sugar, The Bureau of
Chemistry and many private institu-
lions are working upon sugar substitu-
ties, and it is believed the results of
their experiments will produce for
mulas that will help conserve the sup
ply OF sugar materially and at the
same time low confectioners, ETC.,
to continue business with little incon-
venience. At present the most widely
used and proved substitute for sugar
is a combination of 40 percent cane
syrup and 20 percent Refined Grape
Sugar. This mixture will care for
many confectioneTs products; the
same ingredients in more or less
modified ration will take care of
most of the light colored drinks, while
for dark colored soft drinks the use
of refiners' syrups is found desirable
Many of the larger hotels have alb
solutely discontinued the use of cane
or beet sugar in making pastry and
ice cream, using instead maple syrup,
honey and corn syrup.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARDS.

The Macon Telegraph endorses
Governor Dorsey's recommendation
that women be admitted to member
ship on the boards of educational in
situations, particularly the agricultur-
al schools. The News heartily agrees
with the governor and our Macon con-
temporary. In fact, this paper took
that position and advocated women
for school trustees years ago. On
March 4, 1918, The Dawson News said
editorially:
"The News believes that women
can be distinctly useful as members
of school boards, and we would cheer
fully and conscientiously favor law
making them eligible to hold those
positions and giving them the right
to vote for members of those boards.
For many reasons we believe that
should be the limit of their suffrage,
and that the great body of modest
and home-loving women of Georgia
would not want or have more. We do
not take kindly to the presence of
women in the pulpit, of women as
governors of states, as judges, as
