METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

A good attendance was had at Sun
day school at 9:45, 1876 being present,
seven new members being enrolled
and three visitors were present: the
offering was $3.50. A general and
more efficient arrangement was made
by Supt. C. C. Calhoun of the Off
GERS of the different departments.
When the attendance is large at Sun
day school the need of individual class
rooms is keenly felt and is badly
needed for efficient work.
Rev. j. A. Parker, who the confer
ence gives to the church here for an
other year and of whom they feel
proud and are glad to have back, de
livered an excellent sermon at II
o'clock on "The Resurrection of Lag
arus," in which he pointed out the
many obstacles in the way of the
Christian church member to hinder
him from doing his duty. During this
hour Mr.. and Mrs. Veach were re-
ceived into the church and the pastor
announced that the name of Mrs. Irwin
Blakely would be added to the roll
when her letter, which is to come
from Malvern, is received.
The Epworth League service at 6
O'Clock was unusually well attended
and splendid program was rendered,
every Lacquer on the program being
present. In the afternoon a commit
tee of League members visited three
homes where illness was in the fam
lily.
At p. m. the presiding elder, Rev.
]. A. Henderson, delivered a sermon
on the subject, BE Not Overcome
With Evil, but Overcome Evil with
Good" He referred to the modern
way of returning evid for evil, and
cursing him that curseth you instead
of using soft answer to turn away
wrath. A full house heard this splen-
did sermon.

lingly listened to many of the fallac-
ious arguments against it.
Had these four subjects been SUBJ
mitted separately, any or all of them
might have been adopted, but the
body of the constitution would un-
doubtedly have been ratified.
But it has become a case of split
milk.
The time is coming-it may be sew
eral years off-when the business in
terests of the state-and that in
cludes the merchant, the banker, the
farmer, the day laborer, the profess
sional man, in fact every man in the
state, will demand that the mistake
of Dec. Ia, 1918, be rectified, and that
the state be given constitution in
keeping with the requirements of a
progressive state.

Uniforms Of 1872 Elaborate.

During the war of 1912 several types
of uniform were worn by the Ameri-
can forces. There was little left to
remind one of the Revolutionary war.
Instead of the long cutaway, enlisted
men wore single-breasted, close-but-
toned coats, with the skirts fashioned
after the civilian dress coat of today.
Facings disappeared and the collars
became enormously high, rising to the
tip of the ear. Hats were high, some
infantry wearing headpieces much like
those worn by the cabmen of the days
just preceding the taxicab. The off,
d4rs of the line and the men wore coats
ef the same form, but the trimming
was white tape or silver lace.
