SEEKS TO AWAKEN
CHURCH MEMBERS

! Compassion" was the theme Of the
sermon delivered Thursday night by
Rev. E. P. J. CARROT at the First
aBptist church revival services. The
attendance was the largest of any
night this week, and the interest was
intense.
The pastor presented the Savor's
compassion for men and women anc
children in very simple and yet in.
tensely impressive form. He took the
New Testament story of Christ's deal
ing with individuals and the multi
tude, and clearly presented the great
truth that the Savior's love for all of
us is so strong that no one need be
lost in eternity.
Rev. Carrot is directing a large
part of his teachings to the awaken
ing of Christians and in an effort to
arouse church members to the per-
Torrance of the great responsibility
that is resting upon them. He be-
Iieves that revivals are necessary to
arouse Christians as we'll as to con-
vert the unsaved. He made it clear
that church is drifting and not &C.
complishing the Masters work when
its members are not responsive to the
Bible truths which every Christian
must understand and adhere to if he
is to stand right before God.
The song service was exceptional
ly fine last night. The large choir
filled the auditorium with heavenly
melody and George Reynolds sang
another solo effectively. His mag
netic presence and universal good ma
ture grips the audience and promptly
puts every one en- rapport with the
service.

GRIFFITH AT THE IDEAL.

The heroic sacrifice of an American
youth in permitting himself to drown
rather than risk the lives of his fell
low-members of a submarine crew
forms one of the most unusual and
dramatic incidents in "The Greatest
Question: D. w. Griffith's latest pro-
duction which will be seen at the
Ideal Theatre, Saturday.
This most unusual occurrence, how
ever, is but Griffith's method Of lead
ing up to the thought Of his power
full drama which is sweetly simple,
yet profound inquiry into the study of
occultsm and the nature of the here
after.
Probably there is no more agitated
and discussed question in the world
today than the subject of mysticism.
Griffith handles the subject in man.
ner that cannot be misunderstood.
Eschewing an involved detour into the
scientific nature of his subject, he
selected story of farm folk who are
deprived of the support of an oldest
son.
The producing genius of FINLAND

plains clearly to an audience why a
mothers faith in the hereafter is
shaking. Through the life-like de-
velopment of his plot, he enables the
audience to see destroyed fathers

that rewards the good and Furnishes the
evil Then, with his master stroke,
he brings the conclusion of his remark

ton.

Your Eyes Do More
Than Earn Your
Living

Your eyes earn your living,
but they do more. They are
more than "the windows of
the SOUL" they are the doors
through which nature sends
her messages to the mind; they
are the portals through which
enter the messages of life it.
self. The eyes are your great
est source of comfort of inspir-
alton, of happiness. Without
them and their marvellous func-
tons of sight, man loses his
most precious physical posses
sion.

TAX ON WHISKEY

A bright light of the week was the
practichlly unanimous passage by
the House of Representatives ]. Wood
vance's Bill, levying an additional
tax of fifty cents a gallon on whiskey
now in bond in Kentucky, all of the
money to go to the State Roads Fund.
Mr.. Vance, who is a young Democrat
from Barren county, who has repre-
sented that district in the House
since 1916, estimates that his bill,
which refers to double stamped whis-
key, will yield in time $40, 900 to
the State. He made an earnest fight
for the adoption of his bill, got the
support of the Governor, had the
rules suspended, and after the bill
passed, reported it personally in the
Senate, where its passage seems a
matter of course.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-02-24

ply the want of it then with a well
cultivated mind, and with DISPOSE
ton to frugality." To his sister he
said; 'Harriett has sense enough
but no disposition to industry nor
to be careful of her clothes. On De-
cember 10, 1899, four days before
his death Washington sent an ad-
vertisement to the Alexandria pa.
pers asking that all claims against
him be presented to his agent James
Anderson before January 1, 1900,
chat l may wipe them out and start
anew"

GEO. WASHINGTON AND THE
HIGH COST OF LOVING
How tie Father of His Country Was
A Firm Believer IN Thrift and
How He Conserved.

The Father Of His Country had
just as much trouble with the High
Cost of Living and with the prof.
teers as do his country's sons to-
day. He applied then the same rem
edies which they must apply now.
He both used and preached thrift,
saving, wise buying and safe invest
ment. And no profteer ever took
advantage of Washington without
beng reminded that the first presi-
dent knew he had been victimized
and had no intention of having it
happen again through the same man.
In his early years, the planters of
Virginia were forced to order near
ly everything from London, and they
frequently were victimized. In re-
gard to one bill, Washington wrote:
II shall refer you generally to the
bills you have sent me, particularly
for a prompadour suit amounting to
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-02-24

10 pounds 8 shillings and 6 pence
although without embroidery, lace
or binding-not a close fine cloth
neither-and only a gold button that
would not stand the least wear"
To his bootmaker he complained
that the last two pairs Of dog skin
pumps lasted scarce double as many
days. While he liked good clothes,
he believed in taking the best care
of them and it is reported that but
short time before his death, when
his horse unseated him as he was
mounting, that his first act was to
brush off his clothes.
Although against ostention in
dress, he observed good taste. Writ
ing as to uniforms he said to the
Secretary of War. 81 am against
all embroidery but if it is on the
cape, cuffs and pockets Of the coat
and none on the big waistcoat,
would it not have disjointed ap-
oearance.'
Nor was he unmindful Of the de-
nands Of fashion for Mrs. Wash
ngton. In 1874 he wrote his agent
n London: ''Mrs.- Washington
would take it as a favor if Won will
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-02-24

direct Mrs. selby to send her fash
ionoble summer cloak and hat,
black silk apron, one piece Of penny
and one Of two penny ribbon (white)
and a pair Of French bead earrings
and necklace"
The lack Of thrift by his mother
was constant source Of worry to
him and according to S. Wier Mitch
ell she unable to resist the tempta-
ton to borrow and run in debt. In
1857 he wrote her urging economy
suggesting: "a man, the maid,
phaeton and two horses are all you
would want. For the support of
these would not require IA Of your
income"
The condition Of the money mar
ket and of exchange affected the
First President as severely as those
same economic conditions affect
business men today. To his neph-
ew Fielding Lewis he wrote in 1884:
"You very much mistake my circum-
stances when you suppose me in a
condition to advance money. made
no money from estate during the
years was absent from it and
brought none home with me. Those
who owed me took advantage of the
depreciation and paid nc OFF with
iix pence on the pound"
The First President was not less
careful in conducting the economic
management Of the executive man
sion during his tendency than he
was at Mt. Vernon. Samuel Raunce,
the well known tavern keeper of |
New York was made chef de cuisine
but was dismissed by the president
for extravaganza.
On profiteers he wrote to Gouver-
neur Morris in 177s: "Can we carry
on the war much longer? Certainly
not unless some measures can be
devised and speedily executed to
restore the credit of our currency,
