the most fruitful field for Chris
tian work, and that the Church
of Jesus Christ of today, as in
the past, is very largely depend
ent upon the Sunday school for
future membership.
In 1912 the American Sunday
School Union made investigation
to know as nearly as possible how
many dead or abandoned churches
there were in West Tennessee
and why each church died. The
investigation revealed that there
were about 200, not one of which
maintained a Sunday school. 1t
is evident then that a church will
not long thrive without a Sunday
school is kept going.

A Gala Day.

Saturday was a lively day in
Selmer. The people were invited
to come and enjoy a social oeca-
sion. There was nothing start
ling to be pulled off. Fiddling
and singing entertained a large
crowd in The afternoon. With
Will Wilson. backed by A. R.
Boshart and ]. R. Swain, were
the leading warblers. They re-
ceived hearty applause in some
of their renditions. Plenty of
barbecued meat, and cold drinks
on every corner. All seemed to
be in the best of humor. Not a
harsh word was heard nor a drop
of broth seen. The old people
and children came in wagons,
buggies, horseback and in Fords.
1t was a little dusty, but no wind
with cool air, making it an, ideal
day. The crowd was estimated
at between 1000 and 25OO. The
picture show was open all day
and largely patronized. Beatty
was happy in making others hap
py by a joke and a shadow from
his camera.
All in all, everybody was well
coined and mixed and mingled
with visiting friends and relatives.

The Sunday-School- II Pay?
BY 4. L, JERNTGAN

Thoughtful citizens will care
fully consider some figures given
to the people of America by the
M. E. Church. South, recently.
Careful church workers have
given their money and time to
secure these figures they are
worth much. Take time to pom
der them well.
There are 197,203 Protestant
Sunday schools in North America
with a total membership of 49,
l23, ,048. We have a combined
population 1905. 600. There is
a total membership of all protest
ant churches of 20, $50, ,643. Then
it stands that we have 6O,000,O00
of people who are not members
of any protestant church. One
third Of this number are children
under IL years old.
The approximate number of
additions to protestant church
membership in the last four years
through all sources was l,871.853.
Of this number 1852, SIS came
through the Sunday school and
279,28 through other sources.
Almost 85 per cent. of all addi-
tions to the church came through
the Sunday school.
This information indicates that
by far the greater number of
these who came into the church,
came between the ages Of IL and
l6, and it is made perfectly evi-
dent that the Sunday school is

STEP IN FOOD CONSERVATION
Minnesota Physician Has Discovered
Method Of condensIng Butterrilk
and Retaining Nutritive Value.

In recent interview with DR.. VIII.
liam Grelck Of st. Paul, Mimi, the
fact was brought out that immense
quantities of buttermilk have been
wasted. Doctor Grelck is a member
Of the American Chemical society and
for years has devoted much study to
the milk problem. As a result of his
efforts a method has been discovered
for condensing buttermilk into a semi
solid smooth substance Of the consist
ency Of ice cream.
All the nutritive value of the but
termilk is conserved in this product,
and it is especially suitable for use in
bread making. From eight to ten
pounds of this material when added to
a barrel Of -four produce a loaf Of
greater food value. The milk protein
helps to make up the deficiency in our
present-day flour substitutes. The
vitamines of the butterfat help to de-
line the structure of the bread, besides
producing an agreeable milk flavor:
and the sugar of milk, aside from be-
ing of great food value, when COM
bined with the dextrin In flour makes
fne brown crust at comparatively
low baking temperature. 1t saves
fuel and prevents unnecessary loss of
moisture.

In "Llttle Old New Yorkn

II certain actor had accompanied
a party Of round-the-towners the 9TH
er night he would have been either
thrilled or embarrassed, says New
York Sun. After the theater the par
ty went to the Waldorf roof and saw
one of the actors former wives the
center Of a gay, laughing party. The
next stop was at the Astor roof where
there was another former wife of the
same actor dining with handsome
young gallant who danced divinely
and at the last stop on the Majestic
roof was the third former wife giving
dinner to several women and two
French army officers. 1t was hard to
tell which was the most beautiful.
They all seemed happy. 1t is remind
full of another actor who went to an
other theater than his own to see a
play. He was seated next to former
wife and her husband. They all chat
ted pleasantly together and later
supped together. A strange town

PHILIPPINES Crow Best Hemp.

Hemp may grow all over the world,
hut the famous Philippine fields are
the ones we know best as yet. They
have a real monopoly on the crop, as
their soil seems to be especially adapt
ed for II. The abaca, as they call 1t,
looks very much like the banana tree.
They belong to the same family. but
the fruit of the hemp tree is not edible.
and the fiber of the banana is not
strong enough to use.
The very best quality of hemp grown
In the Philippines comes from the
fields about Mount Mayon in Luzon.
The dust and ashes of this majestic
volcano have formed the most perfect
soil for Its culture, a soil that is found
nowhere else In the world.

Michael Faraday devised the elec-
tro-magnetic rotation apparatus In the
year 1922. Barlow in 1923 produced
the rotation of star wheel placed in
the field of strong magnet.
These devices were very crude and
simple, however, and developed in
flniteslmal power. Undoubtedly the
first electric motor employing mag
nets wound with many turns of wire,
and also comprising a motor which utll-.
lied both permanent steel magnets and
electro-magnets, was that perfected by
Prof. Joseph Henry of Princeton uni
versity, In the year 1881. Henry pro-
duced reclprocatlng motion as well as
the rotary motion by electromagnetic
means.
Henry's motor, according to Elec.
trical Experimenter, was the fore
runner of the present day electric mo-
tor.

An order has been placed with fan
Eastern printing house for beautiful
ly Autographed testimonial which is to
be presented by the city to Athena
boys who have been in the service of
their country, in token Of appreciation
and esteem in which the soldier is held
by Athena citizens. The awarding of
these testimonials islin keeping with
the practice followed by every hamlet,
town and city in the nation, and their
distribution is made on the sole
basis Of patriotism. for the sufficient
reason that patriotism is the mother
lode from which the bulwark of a ma
tion ID created and perpetuated. Once
man is called to the colors, answers
the demands Of his country to the best
of his ability and receives an honor
able discharge at the hands of the Gov
ernment in recognition of, and in re-
ward for services rendered, there may
be distinctions but there cannot be
discrimination. Otherwise, patriotism
would be lowered to a purchasing level
fostering class ACKNOWLEDGMENT, rec
ognized in degree only as fate or cir
cumstances favored in acts of heroism
or deeds of valor. Patriotism is not
confined to person, creed or race.
Hence, personality and degree of SER
vice Is engulfed in blending of united
,ndeavor in upholding the honor of the
Nation. Degree Of service allows of no
discrimination whatever, while distinc-
ion is won by individual effort and re-
'eivos recognition irrespective Of rank,

TIME TO EXERCISE PATIENCE
BE o-anins sn. ! ..ly.

Now is the time for all good Ameri-
cans to be patient. 1t is true that the
times are out of joint. Nothing is done
the way it should be done, a plague Of
incompetence is upon us, there has
been a general slowing down in all
branches of business and industrial life
and a general lowering of the average
OF social efficiency. But 1t is the war,
and we must have patience. Don't flare
up and tell us that 1t takes ten min
utes to get your party" on the tele-
phone, and then, like as not, 1t isn't
your party at all. You ought to be
thankful for any party.
And the elevators And the clerks!
They do not wait on you. You wait on
the clerks, oh, so long. And 1t is going
to be worse--for a while. But 1t is
the war, and it is to be expected and
we will have to put up with it. Bust
ness and industry are in the hands of
recruits who have not been to training
camp. But they are being trained as
fast as possible, and by and by the re-
cruits will be veterans, the times will
get back in joint, things will be done
the way they should be done, efficiency
Will again reign, business and indus
try will be speeded up and all will be
well. In the meantime, while the cap
tains of industry are training the rook-
les and doing their best to get the
world running smoothly again, it is up |
to us to be more patient than we ever |
we're before and smile all the WHILE
