If God thinks 1t worth while to
adopt a system in his economy does

When a railroad decides
to open up a new territory it oes not
depend upon inspiration and enthus-
iasm. 1t sends out a corp of engineers
to study soils and levels; a master
workman then maps out the entire
Job, makes his blue prints, and in his
minds eye he sees it completed be-
fore the first tie is laid or the first
spike driven.
Something like this should be the
program of the church. 1t should
face all the facts. The churches of
all organizations must not be caught
mapping when great social problems
present themselves.
1t should be ready when needs arise
and not spend so much time organiz-
ing its work that the occasion for the
church's opportunity will have pass
ed by. Reconstruction tasks are now
of great Importance and the church
will undoubtedly put them across. But
just as formation Is more important
than reformation, so construction is
more important than reconstruction.
After all it Is the steady day-by-
day work of the church which counts
for most in the long run, but because
this is so important it must be done
in the most effective possible,
and If out of the reconstruction pro-
gram of the church. there comes q

DYSPEPSIA

Dyspepsia is only a symptom of
disease, and is often not due to
disease of the stomach itself.
Dyspepsia may result from nerv-
usness Emotional dyspepsia IS
very common. Everyone knows how
bad news or worry will interfere with
digestion and be followed by distress
after a meal.
Consumption is often accompanied
by stomach trouble; in fact, this may
be the only complaint made by a
patient suffering from this disease.
Disease of the heart, especially
such as causes stagnation of blood
in the abdominal organs; of the liver,
such as is produced by alcohol or
gladstone; OF the intestines, particu-
larry If there is constipation or OBJ
struction of the free passage of the
bowel contents; of the kidneys, as in
chronic Inflammation of those or
CANS, where the waste products of
the body are not fully eliminated: of
the brain, as where there is a tumor
or Inflammation of the cerebral mem
branes-all give rise to stomach
symptoms.

WEATHER
AL moods are due to weather, 1 often sadly think when
rain clouds get together they put me on the blink. They chaie
my sunny spring, SO you'd with me condole; they freeze, or
pretty near it, the current Of my soul. Outdoors it's raining,
raining, with steady beat and slow; the night wind is COM
planning of some uncharted woe. 1t tells of CHASTITY sorrows
that long dead people knew, and hints that our tomorrows will
all be lemons, too. And | have grim foreboding that evil is IN
store; disaster, stern, corroding, is waiting at the door. But
now the dawn is breaking, the night has journeyed by; and |,
from sleep awaking, behold a cloudless sky. And I am blthe
and clipper, and happy as can be, as I pour down a dipper of
fragrant NORWOOD tea. How could I be so silly, l ask, with
great disdain; how coud my feet grow chilly because o. wind
and rain? But when once more the torrent pOurs down from
leaden skies, and when the winds %abhorrent fill all the night

CHURCH WORK THAT COUNTS
BY THE REV. CHARLES STERILE

The construction problems to which
the church has become alert have de-
monstrated Is nothing else has ever
done the importance of having a plan
and a program.
Heretofore many of us have believ-
ed that the only thing necessary about
church work was to have it done
~'joyously" and Spontaneously" Any
thing like system or organization was
hooted at by even some of the most
prominent leaders. Even God does
not work without system. He never
created anything without applying So
lar system and there are to it in
exorable law.
The stars of heaven suggest the
mathematics enough relative to the
system to make ones head swim.

Questions and Answers
@. Is whooping cough q dangerous
disease?
A. Decidedly yes. especially in
young children. The greatest danger
of spreading the disease is in the
first week or two. Do not let your
children play with other children who
have a suspicious cough. If there is
whooping cough in your neighbor-
hood try and keep close watch over
your children, especially when they
play with other children.
q. Who car give mo confidential
advice on ~venereal disease. L have
not enough money to undertake the
treatment If 1t costs too~much.
A. Apply to your city, or state
health officer. Very probably there
is a clinic in your city where free
treatment is given. Helpful leaflets

IS NOT JUSTIFIED

ment wire control board "extend
or 60 beyond" rules and regulations
of the "war labor board which have
been strictly observed since the gov
ernment took over control of the
telegraph and telephone properties. !"
Mr.. Burleson declared the strike
of wire employees which began this
morning was "wholly without justif-
cation" and added that information
he had was that telegraphic traffic
had not been delayed and would not
be delayed" ...
IN amount of pressure will avail
to make the wire control board ex-
tend or 60 beyond these regulations

solely because of affiliations with Ia
Dor organizations. This claim was Ia
ter reduced to 100, and still later to

the postoffice inspectors. While the
investigation was in progress and
before the investigation had time to
ascertain the facts, a sympathetic

was called in the southeastern states.

Your grocer has the lemons and

WHAT OTHERS THINK.

The Anderson Daily Mail publishes
an editorial on the killing of Mark
Smith here last Saturday which is H.
Illuminating to the extent that it
shows US what people in other Sec
tions think of this county and it's
citizens. One paragraph reads, CAB
beville County has many good 'citi-
zens, and now they are confronted
with this cold, blunt question, Have
they sufficient moral courage to en-
force the law against murder?''
Again, "There have been no arrests
and nobody seems to be very greatly
concerned about it."
The article in the Mail follows: ..
According to reports printed in
the newspapers, a negro was going
along a public road three miles from
the town of Abbeville last Saturday
night, in company with his wife and
mother, when a party Of men drove
up in an automobile, shot him to
death, took his body into the auto.
mobile and drove off with it.
"There have been no arrests and
nobody seems to be very greatly
concerned about it.
"It is said that the negro who was
killed was tried and acquitted some
weeks ago for shooting the deputy
sheriff of Abbevilie county and in.
fiicting slight wound, but it is not
known that this had anything to do
with his own murder.
"What are the people of Abbeville
county going to do about this affair?
They failed to punish the white men
who killed another negro in that
county several years ago, in cold
blood.
"Abbeville count has many good
citizens, and now they are confront.
ed with this cold, blunt question
Have they sufficient moral courage to
enforce the law against murder?
''In the days of negro rule in this
state, negroes shot and killed white
i men and no attempt was made te
punish them. Now we have white
rule, and white men shot and kill ne.
groes and no attempt is made to pun.
ish them. =
"The plea was made for the ne.
groes that they were ignorant and
vicious and did not know any better
Is this plea to be offered for the
white men?
eve all know better than that
The white people of Abbeville are
not ignorant. But it does seem thai
they are woefully lacking in mora
courage" !.
