Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
THE OLD DAYS.

Time was that life was partly play and
man could rest little while,
Could find the time along the way to
visit with his friends and smile.
And he could go on fishing trips and
never miss the coin he'd lose,
But that was in the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
Time was the evening brought repose
unto the weary soul of man.
He dropped his work Mt close of day,
untroubled till the next began.
And he could play an hour or two; the
books he loved he could peruse;
But that was In the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
Great riches were not needed then, In
those glad days OF long ago;
A man could find contentment then
with what was given him to know.
And there were joys on every hand
from which his soul could pick and
choose;
But that was In the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
There Is no rest for man today. he's
forced TO serve the gods OF gold;
He dare not llnger by the way, as once
he did In times of old.
He must forego his fishing trip and
shun all things that may amuse
Because the women folks today are
wearing fifteen-dollar shoes.

To Editor of the "Bystander' =
Allow me to give you a short report
of our church work here.
1t is sad statement to make, yet it
is true: This church has been sadly di-
vided, scattered, and discouraged. Some
gone to the different churches, left the
church they oncee loved so well. But
some few have stood by the church and
are moving on. Persistency has not
ceased to be a virtue.
Il am glad to say, the people are re-
turning, congregations growing each
week, and interest is increasing, and
members are taking on new life. While
some are gone others are coming in to
take their places. The auxiliaries of the
church have gone to work with telling
effect. The Church Aid Society, Mrs.
Lizzie Payne, President, with Mrs. Mar
tina Herndon, Vice President, gave one
day bazaar last week and cleared
$116.25. They are planning great things
in the near future. The members are
rejoicing and the pastor is well pleased
and encouraged. The Stewardess Board
broke the ice some time ago, when they
had grand reception for the pastor and
his wife. The other auxiliaries are hav-
ing new life put into them. They are
coming too.

1921, the Rev. DR.. w. G. Williams of
