Among the Churches.
BAPTIST CHURCH

Blessed is the man who does not say, LO what is the matter with the churches? Why don't people go to church? But who goeth out and says to his friend Come thou with me and we will go to church and help with our presence to make the church go for it is put here to do. Flow long would you live in Brinkiey if there were no churches here? How long would real estate hold the high market value of the present if there were no churches here? How long | would you be able to do busi- ness on a strictly legitimate basis if there were no churches nor religious influence in the town. The greatest asset to this !
 or any other town is the moral influence exerted by the churches. You who are absent ing yourselves from the church are striking a blow against that which has done more for your business than any other thing in the town. Won't you ccme help us to make the churches what they ought to be. You i have knocked those who are trying to do their best, stop a minute and think.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Let every citizen ask him. self this question, would people move here if there were no churches, then eff every mem Der did as I do what would my church be? If every church member did as I do, is it any wonder there are empty pews? If every Christian did as 1 do, is it any wonder no souls are saved?" This might be food for reflection.
 The primary department of the Sunday School is in excel lent shape. The sand table is a great object teacher. Mrs. M. l.. Scott is assisting Mrs. Fred Rusher, in the absence of Mrs. c E McCreight who was recent ly called to Malvern by the se- were illness of her mother.
 Two good church services Sunday, beginning with a fine Sunday School. We expect a few absentees as the summer progresses, but attendance and collection are good. Children's Day is promised as a pleasant surprise to both young and old.
 The flowers were beautiful. After the night service the flow CTS are sent to the Magnolia Hospital and to the sick in the congregation.
 Music was better, the choir has taken on new life. There will be no more practice until after the Methodist revival That may put a new tune in our mouths and we will want to praise the Lord in song.
