thanksgiving

The people .. Des Arc surely had
much to be thankful for this year
God has showered so many blessings
on the people of this town. So many
souls have found Christ, our soldier
boys are all home nee more, the aw-
full "Flu" of the last two years has
not visited our town this year and SO
many other things that make life
worth while have been our lot, we
scarcely can find words to express
our thanks to our Heavenly Father.
The ladies of the w. q. 7. U. had a
Thanksgiving service at the home of
Mrs. Robert Drury on Tuesday after
noon aid there was so much that has
been accomplished the past year in
this wonderful work. The goal set
for Is, 900 members for 1920 has been
safely passed, the "Bone Dryn en-
forcement law passed by a majority
of over 81, 200, Is dry county repre-
sentatives out of Is were elected this
year, also our W. @. T. U. has a
member on the Executive Committee
of the Woman's Legislative Committee
and will also have lobby during the
next assembly. Numbers of other
things have been accomplished this
year, including % new members be-
ing added to our own local Union,
one of whom was added last Tuesday.
We surely can sing ''Praise God from
whom all blessings flow" We r
planning for greater things for 1921.
Then the public school of Des Arc
had a splendid Thanksgiving pro-
gram Wednesday evening. The teach
ers deserve much credit for their un-
firing efforts and splendid success, al
so the pupils showed great tact and
ability. We are very proud OF our
school.
On Thursday morning all the bust
ness houses closed and Bro. O'Oon-
ner, pastor of the Baptist Church,
preached a Thanksgiving sermon at
l1:00 O'Clock. 1t was a union service
and members of all three churches
were present, including the pastors
of each church. Also Rev. V. E.
Patterson was a visitor with US. We
were so glad to have him with Us
again.
1t was a very spiritual service. God
has SO wonderfully blessed us this
year. Tears of joy and gratitude ran
down our cheeks as we tried to praise
and thank Him in our weak way for
His wonderful goodness to us. Then
in the evening Bro. Jones, pastor of
the M. E Church, preached and what
a time of rejoicing! Our hearts were
made glad and u cup runneth over.
How we thanked God again and again
for unity of heart and of SERVICE!
We are so glad that the people Of
Des Ara will all come together and
worship God in spirit and in truth.
How l praise Him for his great love
to the children of men.
We r. so Thankful for the souls
that have been saved the past year,
for the Sabbath Schools and for real,
consecrated christian people to as
sociate with.
Let's all look up, take new courage
and do more for our Master this COM
ing year than ever, for the day is
far spent and the end draweth nigh
and many, many souls are yet un-
saved. Our Father, l do pray that
you will help us to SO live each day
and hour that when we stand before
you we will not come empty-handed,
but have sheaves to lay at thy feet.

LEARNED AT THE FAIR
Bobby and Betty Marvel at the Feats
Achieved by Nature and the
Farmer.

Mrs. Blake had taken Bobby and
Betty to a country fair, and the chill
dren we're enjoying the sights of huge
pumpkins, large ears of corn and other
rewards supplied by bountiful and ap-
preciative Nature to her industrious
sons who faithfully till her soil. The
immense specimens of natural products
were very interesting to the children
as they are sights they did not often
see in the city.
"Who would have imagined a pump
kin could we grow 10 larger" ex-
claimed Betty, pausing before an i'm
mense yellow beauty. "Why, 1t Is
almost as large as a washtub"
$50 it is, my DEAR" replied her
mother. "But look at that immense
a Of corn that Bobby is trying to
point out to you. I never saw such
a big carp
"Come closer and look at 1t, mother"
called Bobby. "Just to think of get
ting that great a from one grain Of
corn. That would be some interest on
your investment, now wouldn't it?"
Mrs. Blake smiled. "There may have
been two ears on the stalk, Bobby
there frequently are-and, in that case,
the farmer got twice that much from
his n grain that he planted. But,
Of course, it cost him more than one
grain Of corn"
"Why, what else did it cost"
swell, there's the interest on the
land that was required to grow the
stalk, and the fertilizer to help the
ground, and the value and feed of the
horses while they were blowing and
planting, also the value of the farmers
time until the corn was laid by"
"What do you mean by laid BY,
mother?"
until the cultivation is all done
the blowing and hoeing, then it is laid
by, and nature does the rest until time
to gather it. But, of course, Bobby,
you are right about the great returns
on the small investment when you plant
corn and properly care for it. Your
returns are immense, ven counting
everything about the cost at top notch"
II wonder how many grains are on
that ear" said Betty.
ga thousand or more; probably
more" replied her mother, $50 you
see, counting all labor and cost, to get
back a thousand times what you plant
ed is a manifold return Of net profit
and as I said there were probably two
ears which would be a t~wo-thousand-,
fold return"
Mature is surely wonderful" said
Betty. {
"She is the universal mother" re-
piled Mrs. Blake. "Old Mother Earth
takes care of every creature and pays
wonderfully when she is treated right.
She never fails entirely. Sometimes
there are ~off-years and short crops;
but even when crops are short she
produces many times the investment. 1t
is always wise to rely on nature"
"But everyone cannot farm" said
Betty.
mo, my dear, that is quite true,'ri
replied her mother. Everyone cannot
farm, and, next to nature, Uncle SAM
Is the best security-neither fails-you
are sure of returns from either source,
and the successful farmer puts his
savings just where you have been put
ting yours"
"In Treasury Savings Certificates"
laughed both children.
"Well, I guess that is a team that
will never be beaten, Nature and
Uncle Samuel"

The old Puritan Father in Israel,
Cotton Mather, called Roger Will
liams "a madman," and proclaimed
that he had "a windmill in his head. -
This because Williams advocated re-
hgious liberty and the separation of
church from state. Unfortunately
for the welfare of the world, the
breed of Cotton Mathers is not ex.
tinct. If they had their way in mat
tiers of religious faith you and 1, dear
reader, would disagree with them at
the proper peril of goods and person.

HERE Is 1000 Tor thought anC
prayerful consideration in the follow
ing, taken from that sterling publica-
ton, Liberty" a journal devoted to
the absolute separation of Church
from State:
A Good Christian should follow the
dictates of his conscience, and to this
no n objects. If he chooses to go
to church often and to pray fervently
that Is his privilege; by SO doing he
can bring much good to himself and
do no one else any harm, if he will
only stop at that; but if he ceases to
be a true Christian and becomes a
fanatic, as such he is dangerous to
himself and to the world at large. 1t
is this class which today is endanger.
ing the liberties of the world, under
the same methods and under the same
tactics as those practised by the
fanatics of old who hanged women
for ~witchcroft, and murdered one an
other because they differed in relig-
ious opinions.
1t required ages to bring woman to
a political and domestic equality with
man; yet we find woman today doing
her best TO deprive herself of that
privilege, by allowing some man to
do her thinking for her and to dictate
to her how she should use her vote
not the man who ages ago was term
ed "the head of the house ,"-her
husband,-but some strange man
preaching from a pulpit or advocot-
mo a hOhhU mr. annnn AfLn. -a1- l.
believes that the church should mo-
nopolize Sunday and the Sunday
show business to itself. And herein
is where the danger lies.
Now that woman has been given
the vote in all the several States.
what is she going to do with it? Will
she exercise her own calm, sound
judgment in matters upon which it
ls her privilege to vote, or will she
accept the judgment of her preacher r?
Win she continue to enjoy the liberties
obtained for her by the political man
OF the past, or will she be deprived
OF them by the political woman of to-
day?
These r important and serious
questions; for not only does woman's
liberty depend upon them, but also
Sthe liberty Of man as we'll. In other
words, are we to enjoy our religious
rights as we have enjoyed them in
the recent past, or are we, through
w6man's vote, to return to the
fahatical past, when men were com
PEELED under penalty to attend church,
and when women we're mere chattels
in the hands of men, subject to pub
Tic punishment as ''scolds," or hanged
by the neck for w~itchcraft? Will the
right of franchise elevate woman to
the plane of man mentally, or will it
be used to reintroduce fanaticism in
to the world, with all its disastrous
results2

THIS Is from the daily press: "The

Is assuming formidable proportions in
Washington according to reports.
United States Senator Wesley Jones

words, the Hon. Wesley Jones and the
"Rev'" E. Q. Dinwiddie would make
us by law conform to their notions of

PAUL REVERE
 RIDES AGAIN

Boston, April 1s-Paul Revere rode again today. [
 While the state celebrated with of ficia1 holiday the battles of Concord and Lexington. while Revere's Ride preceded, a horseman in the garb of revolutionary days went over the route travele5 by the patriot with his midnight warning of the British ap- proach 145 years ago. At the same time the less famous ride of William Dawes, who carried the same message over a different route. was repeated by another rider.
 The holiday was almost generally observed. Cities and towns along the route Of Revere and Dawes made the passage of the rider the occasion for formal exercises. The stock eE- change, banks and business places were closed. Newspapers suspended publication in this city and in most other places in the state. Sporting events were numerous in this first out of-doors holiday of the season. and the forerunners of the summers beach crowds made their appearance
