"flu" epidemic came upon US. The
Sunday school had about 400 and q
full house greeted the pastor for the
church service.
At the close of the service over
thirty young people came to the altar
dedicating their lives to special life
work. In it's list now this church has
several ministers serving charges,
two on the missionary field, two
young men dedicated to the ministry,
and preparing for that service, and
six young people dedicated to foreign
missionary work, all getting ready
for that most important work.
The pastors sermon was on Life
Service. The subject, "a Saving
Sacrifice" The text, "He that find
eth his life shall loose it; and he that
looseth his life for my sake shall
find it,"
There were four main propositions
as follows:
1. Much of the tragedy of life Is
caused by the fact that things and
institutions are out of place. Every
thing should be in it's proper order
and position. People out of place
cause more distress than any other
consideration. 1t is disastrous for
a born mechanic to try to be a states
nan. God has work for every man
and each man should try to find his
work
2.There never was time when
there were so many opportunities.
The door is wide open in practically
all of the occupations and callings.
The world is begging for men who
know how to do things they are sup
posed to do, and do it in the right
spirit.
8. The reason that so many peo-
pie are not finding the proper life,
work, is because of a wrong attitude
toward their job. Everyone today,
wants more. The railroad employees,
though now paid higher than any
others, are calling for more. City
every where, want more,
teachers want more, window-washers
want more, though in Chicago they
get $48 per week. Even the preach
ers are said to want more and they
organizing a union. The
spokesman Review has well said that
this matter of putting up a poor
ihOoSiA ny CFCl yOhS 10 6CIClLS W OS
ludicrous; in fact everything consid-
cred we are living in the most pros
porous time for many decades. The
whole attitude and spirit is wrong.
We want men who are ready to do
more and better work. Men who will
show the two mile spirit.
4. The religion of Jesus Christ
brings an inner compulsion to bear
so that a man must take the right
attitude. That is why the Reds hate
the church and every thing which our
civilization holds dear. The man of
God is the man who is willing even
though he himself is innocent, to
sacrifice and suffer to make the
world right. The suffering of the
innocent is what saves the world, not
the sufferingBof the guilty. Conse-
Grated men who recklessly give their
lives is what we want. In the Great
War, some said we need ships, some
said armies, some said areoplanes,
some submarines, but none of these
would have won the war nor all of
them together. It took in addition
the magnificent spirit of our boys.
one consecrated doctor on a mission
field means more than whole hosni-

tai and its equipment. We need men
of great spirit more than any thing
else.
Many Moscow people who are not
affiliated with the Methodist church
attended the services Sunday and
they were unanimous in speaking
highly Of the services and the deep
impression made upon the big
audience. Reports of the excellence
of the service reached this paper from
several sources, all agreeing that q
wonderful day had been experienced.

BOY AND GIRL CLUB WORK
For Knox County.

]. NJ. Feltner. Club Agent for Ken
lucky was here Thursday in the in
terest OF the Boy and Girl Club work
of Knox County. The movement ia
general over the State and much
progress has been made elsewhere
In fact, the products of the members
of agricultural clubs over the coun-
try make up a big amount in mater
lal wealth. Not only so, but the
work means everything for the flu
ture. If we, or other Kentucky
counties fall down on the work,
then the coming generations will be
poorer in farming knowledge be-
cause we have done so and the
towns and communities will be the
poorer financially. 1t is therefore
incumbent that the work be pushed
to the limit. Mr.. Feltner will start
the Clubs but it is up to this com
munity to give them support and see
they do not die.
Every county will have n number
of organized clubs. Jackson Coun-
ty already has II, Laural 20, Whit
ley 20, Clay 22.
Knox County will be organized by
j. NJ. Feltner and w. NJ. Tye in
April and Mr.. Feltner will come here
March Is and l6 to talk organiza-
tion with the school teachers of the
County. The average membership
of these clubs runs from 6 to S5 in
Eastern Kentucky.
Each club will have a president,
secretary and leader, the latter being
an adult of personality and vision,
who will direct the work OF the club.
The big idea is cooperation thru
the club and each boy and girl will
be supposed to carry out some de-
finite work along the line Of feeding
an animal or raising a crop.
Where these clubs have been in
existence for any length of time, it
has been found that an adult COM
munity of interest has grown up
which has helped to lift up the whole
county and section.
We shall be pleased TO give this
work any and all assistance posi-

WILL ASSIST ADVOCATE

J. NJ. Feltner and Earl Mayhem
held q conference with the editor Of
the Mountain Advocate about Boy
and Club work Thursday and while
discussing the distribution Of straw
berries to the young people Of the
County, Mr.. Feltner, who grows
grapes at his home place, was kind
enough to offer to send large num-
Der of cuttings this spring. Then
the question of bedding them out
came up and Earl Mayhem, who Is
doing live agriculture work IN Clay
County offered, with the assistance
of his brother to see to this end of
the matter. When the cuttings are a
year old, they will be distributed
among the boys and girls of Knox
and Clay County, so that we may
also add grape growing to the list of
fruits in which we can excel. Per-
haps there is some other man who
grows grapes in Knox County who
will add q number of vines grown in
the same way. Grape plants are
now selling at soc a piece and such
u gift would mean considerable.
Mr.. Feltner states that Knox and
Laurel Counties are the best agri-
cultural Counties in the mountains,
or will be when developed. Earl
Mayhem said that Knox County is
pronounced the best that Mr.. Camp
bell, field agent Of the International
Harvester Company has seen thru
the mountains.
Mr.. c. F. Heidrick of the c. & NJ.
also sees big possibilities for Knox
County, but we must get together
and work for it's development.
Let us try and realize that every
new piece of development that is
done in the County, every new in
dustry giving employment to our
people, every mile of good road that
is built, adds TO the comfort and pro-
sperity of all. By approaching these
matters in a, spirit Of brotherhood
A., only, with a desire to benefit every
man, woman>and child among us. in
Guiding the one who has lost the VI
sion and spirit of community help
fulness, can we be successful. Self
ishness gets nowhere, neither with
God or oneself. A money atrophied
soul is the most pitiful thing in life
or death and should awake our pro-
found sympathy. rather than scorn.

was greatly appreciated by the Epis-

Saviour as an example of one who
had attained to this perfection. not
only thru His temptations in the Wild

Bishop Burton expressed his
warm appreciation for the use of the
Presbyterian Church and also to
others who had assisted. Among
these was the Christian Church
which very kindly lent an organ for
the service, and members of the
Methodist Church who helped with
the singing. Mrs. John A. Gray had
