LITTLE TOTS ENTHUSIASTIC


1.-THE young people Of this district are
also interested now in furnishing silver
and linen for the dining room at our
mountain school, EIdridge academy. 1t
is really surprising to see the enthus-
iasm of some of the little tots VINO are
saving their pennies and even collecting
Octagon wrappers for our community
silver fund.
There is nothing like doing all the
things to interest children" thought
fully concluded Mrs. Johnson, because
it is so important for them to start
early in Christmas work. SO that their
lives will present a filed sheet rather
than one dotted with little service
And | consider that the children are
the foundation of all our work.
''EurekaH was the glad rejoinderi
That's the word we want, isn't it?
Foundation! That's good, strong
word to express what youth means to
the permanency of the church or any
other business. OF course, there are
enterprises built the sand, and
mushroom skyscrapers, but they don't
stand long when the storm days come''
Lives that will build to stand the
storm tests, that will build for useful
ness in great world programme are
what the Baptists are asking for this
afternoon in their young peoples meet
ing, when volunteers will enlist for
home and foreign service in the Call
ing Out of the Called" THE result of
this day will prophecy the real vic
tory of Decembers Victory Week

the clerics and the monks and the
runs and by some of the daily of the
church. Each day of the week has
been assigned to some mystery OF re-
ligion and. as said. each month has
it's own particular devotion. October
is known as Rosary month. and in
every Catholic church during the
month of October the Rosary is recited
either at mass or at a special rosary
service. At st. Paurs the service IS
each day at noon. At noon sharp the
Angelus rings. the priest, accompanied

of the Angelus and then says, in uni
son which the people, the rosary of The
Blessed Virgin, then the litany of the
Holy Name. and afterwards the prayer

vice known as. benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament.

"Calling Out the Called''
Meeting of Baptists Today
By CAROLYN d. ELLIOTT


This afternoon at o'clock at the
First Baptist church a mass meeting
will be held, the results of which will
not only be recorded on the pages of
Baptist history, but will go out with
vital messages to the world, through
the lives of the young people of the
church
In the enlistment month of October.
no Gay is considered of more importance
By Baptist leaders than ;hs day which
will be celebrated throughout the south
BY this special service TO- Calling Oue
the Called"
1.-The Baptists need leaders more Than
they need the $4,000, 300, commented
well known editor of this denomina-
ton Give US spirit-filled leaders, and
twice the amount will come in due Or
der Often these leaders are hid away
in some unheard OF place, awaiting the
human agency to touch them off. Call
out the callled!"
There are so many splendid young
people who only need to be called
said Mrs. William F. Johnson, the lead
er of young people of the Birmingham
association, that this nesting is es-
pccially for them and we will not be
satisfied with an attendance of less than
500 boys and girls, young men and
young women from the Birmingham as
sociation. All are invited"

WON'T OVERLOOK INVITATIONS

This invitation will not be overlooked
by hundreds of Baptists, old and young,
who appreciate Mrs. Johnson's unself-
ish work in the Birmingham association
and in the northern district. She is
leader for young people in both these
organizations, the latter being one of
five districts of the Alabama Baptist
convention.
Perhaps no illustration of Mrs. John
sons beautiful Influence with young
folk is more significant than that of
high school girl who was so impressed
by a talk she heard her leader make
that she organized a girls auxiliary Of
which she herself is now president in
the Sixty-sixth Street Baptist church,
The scope of Mrs Johnson's work for
young people in the Birmingham as
srciation and northern district includes
the Sunbeam bands for children, the
Girls auxiliary tor younger girls, the
Royal Ambassadors, composed of teen
age boys, and Y. w. A. for the young
women of the church. The leaders of
the above named Mrs. Johnson has or
ganized into the Young Peoples couE-
Gil of Birmingham, which has the dis
tiaction of being the only executive
hoard of young people in the Southern
Baptist convention.

LOCAL NOTICES
FARMERS OF NESHOBA
COUNTY.

Do you know of one real pros
porous farmer in Neshoba county
who has cultivated hills and hills
only? Look around you, and you
will find that the really prosper
Gus farmers of Neshoba county
have made most of their money
on BOTTOM LANDS. They
have done this even without
much drainage. Do you know
what will come toNeshoba coun-
ty with the drainage of her creek
bottoms?
Ten years from now you will
ook out over the hills that sur
round you; the same hills all
washed and worn, and you will
wonder why you did not buy
Kentawka drained lands when
they were being sold at ridicu-
lous prices. This is nothing new
It is the history of every drain
age district in the state of Miss.
You know that Kentawka drain
ed lands are rich; you know too,
that they are advancing in value
rapidly. Come around and see us.
