Folks want to go to Heaven by
every other way except the way Jesus
said they could go.
The road to heaven is not by the
bathtub, or Harvard or Yale, but by
Christ's Blood. The world today is
trying to cruelty the fundamentals of
religion, and somebody has got to get
the world back to It's mornings So
cial service. in it's place, is a road to
Jesus Chlist, but somebody needs to
cry like a Waterman to call the people
back to the fundamentals. | believe in
books, but | don't believe they can
take the place of faith. | believe in
construction and instruction so lorg as
they make peope realize that they
need something else-the Lord.
ehc United States leads all Other
nations in crime What we must do
is to cleanse the heart A well-dress-
ed body covering a black heart is like
a nice parlor with a pole-cat in it. The
gospel brings a man into the way of
|cbeyin the law The scholar says
the remedy lies in a universal system
of education. Forget it, The medy
lies in pure heart ic!ieve thorough
ly in education, but that won't do the
trick It is tn, Churchs busin, IS to
knock out sin and work for salvation,
and when churches turn into a!ause-
ruent bureaus il is time for them to
shut up. The call me iliiterats and
crude and vulgar, but I preach Jesus.
and the crowd fiocks to hear me while
the man that is preaching Schopen-
hauer and Anheuser Busch talks his
ethics to paint and Vanish.
There is no substitute for the gospel
or salvation through Jesus Christ. The
church that breaches only doctrines
may be evangelical, but it is not evan
geistic. An evangelical church is a
church on ice; an evangelistic church
is a church on fire. You might as well
turn out the sun and light talIow
candle in the heavens as to think that
a man can be- saved by any other
method than by faith in Jesus Christ.

Nearly Half Million Dollars Sales in
Less Than a Month.

The firm of Carr & Jeter, real es-
tate dealers, have been successful SO
far this season in effecting the sale of
very nearly a half-million dollars
worth OF property in this vicinity
since the 22nd day of August, most of
1t farm land, and with the exception
OF one farm it was all sold to Welsh
people.
When the Journal a short time ago
predicted that the new firm of real
estate dealers would be successful be-
yond the ordinary, it was sincere, but
had no idea they were going to cut
loose in in the manner which they
have done. We are now daring them
to make it million.
Here are some of the sales which
they have handled:
Mrs. E. NJ. Gallup to A. W. Crowl,

Mrs. Snyder to J. w. Narans, 100
acres q $4,000 per acre, 100000.
c. M. Shoemaker to S. I. Robinson,
7SO acres q $4,000, $47,63O.OO.
G. W. Cosner to Sherman Carter
and P. D. Watkins, 1880 acres q
$4,000 per acre, $263,OOO.OO.
]. L. Watkins to C. E. Blessington,
725 acres q $4,000, $42,25OOO.
S. o. Scoggins to J. L. Watkins725
acres q $4,000, $72, 10000.
The last four of these big sales
were effected during this week. The
total of farm and sales to Their credit
this season amounts to 5,545 acres,
the aggregate price being $491, $4,000,
an average of $3.50 per acre.
Besides the big sales of farm land
Carr & Jeter have sold a number of
town properties, including the sale of
the Isaac Fontenot place to r. F.
Weichert at $3,25O.O0; the lot next to
Benoit Grocery to Todd Bros, for
81, 100000; lot between Miller Hard
ware and Desire Hebeft buildings, be-
longing to F. A. Arceneaux, sold to
S. Goldsmith, and the Eloi Hebert

The total sales made by this firm
since August 22nd, amount to the
sum of $497, $4,000, or very nearly a
half-million dollars. The property was

Secretary Lane has said:
cit takes brave and very ambitious man
to lift himself out of such an environment.
Easily he becomes victim to the shrewd,
predatory padrone or boss. He falls into
debt and becomes mortgaged to ignorance
and squalor for years. His ideal of America
has suffered change. And is this free
dom?' he says to himself, as with tired back
he bends to his work, without hope that the
burden will be lighter tomorrow He can
not read the signs which warn him of
danger. He cannot read Of the opportuni-
ties which city and country offer. In his
own land perhaps he is too tired, too hesitant
to learn this strange, difficult tongue Is it
any wonder if to this dissatisfied stranger
the voice Of one who speaks to him in the
language Of home has authority and carries
far? And if this voice breaches discon-
tent and violent discomfort, as the one sure
path to better days, is it strange that he
should listen? Who are the men who master
this new world? Plainly the ones he knows,
from whom he has suffered Do these same
men control everything; are there no sweet
places of refuge? He can find no one to
make him see the greater America. The
whole of this continent is to him the cramped
apartment, the dirty street, and the sweat
shop or the factory. To- the sweep of the
great land and it's many beckonings his eyes
are closed. And in his isolation and ignor-
ance and disappointment there is fruitful
nesting place for all the hurtful microbes
that attack society,"
From every humanitarian and business
viewpoint, it is Of the utmost Importance to
all with messages, educational or commercial,
that these eight and a half millions be taught
at least sufficiently to read a poster or a
newspaper.-Yeoman Shield.
