PROBLEM OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
Becoming One Of Increasing inpor.
lance Because Of Changes In
Methods Of Travel.

The road problem Of the country IL
becoming one Of ever-increasing Impor-
lance, largely because of the changes
In methods Of travel which enable the
city man TO reach farther and farther
into the country district. He does
this first from a business or economic
standpoint. and. second. from a pleas
ure-seeking standpoint. In an exactly
similar manner. the farmer is getting
fully aroused to the importance OF
better and better roads. They enable
him to get to the city markets with
his produce. whether that produce
may be something requiring frequent
trips. such as milk 10 creamery. gar
den truck 10 market. or staple prod
ucts to be hauled In their proper sea-
son. The better the roads, the cheap
err he can haul his produce and the
quicker he can DO NO. resulting In a
saving Of time. and the better choice
he has OF market conditions.

ROBERTS FAMILY REUNION

One OF the most pleasant vaca-
tions that will be experienced by
any OF the Berea workers this year
is that Of f. L. and J. p. Roberts.
They have not left Berea, but have
the joy Of having all brothers and
sisters Of the family here. Their
father, ID. l.. Roberts, lives with
j. p. Their brother, Geo. C. and
his wife came from st. Paul, MINI. d,
and their sisters, Mrs. Mary Bush.
of Pasadena, Cal, and Mrs. ID. r.
Morse, Of Williamsfleld, o., have
joined them. Mrs. r. w. Hart
who lives in Berea, completes the
family. II is needless 10 say that
all are enjoying this reunion. which
is the first in twenty-three years.
And il might be added that there
is no worker in Berea College who
deserves a vacation more than +. L.
Roberts. No one works more
at his job, nor puts in
more time at il than he.

SHOOTS WIFE AND SELF

James Lawson. son of Sam Law
son, whose home is near Paint Lick.
short and MORALLY wounded his
wife, June 30. and instantly killed
himself with two shots through
his heart.
Mr.. Lawson had been blowing and
working hard in his fields, his wife
had been spending the morning
with her home folks. He left his
fields, went in home in the after
noon. took his car and was gone
most Of the afternoon. He came in
home about dark and seemed in a
coed humor with his wife and she
retired but he did not. About mid
night he came into the room and
seemed insane. He struck her on
the head with a gun or plank. she
could not tell which, and started
to shoot her. She struggled with
him through the house and while
trying TO get hold OF the pistol he
shot her through the hand. BY
this time they had reached the yard.
and he put the pistol against her
right side and shot her, the bullet
going through near her spine,
through the liver and coming out
on the left side. He then placed the
pistol against his own heart and
shot twice. He died instantly. She
ran out into the road, her little
son by a former husband was
screaming for help. Mrs. Lawson
was hurriedly brought 10 the Robin
son Hospital. where her wounds
were found to be very serious.

BABY FOUND IN WELL

Last Friday a party Of women
getting apples near an abandoned
we'll on Mr.. Cornelison's farm at
BobtOwn, looked into the we'll and
were Mortified TO see the naked
body OF an infant floating on the
water. The authorities were hastily
summoned and il was found the
child was a new born babe. II had
been dead several days. DR.. NJ. NJ.
Robinson, Public Health Officer,
after due examination, decided il
had probably bled TO death before
being thrown into the well, as it
had not been properly attended to
after birth. The child was disfig-
ured by being in the water so long.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

A rush Of other matters pre-
vented a report OF our Home Com
ing day from appearing In last
weeks issue OF The Citizen. II
was the greatest day perhaps In
the history of the church. Geo.
l.. Snively. Of Lewistown. ILL., came
to our assistance and in the morn
ing we succeeded in raising over
$4,000 in pledges for the new
church building. AT noon a bounti-
full dinner was spread on the church
lawn and all seemed TO have a good
time, and plenty TO eat for all,
which had been prepared by the
good women.
AT 800 p. m, memorial services
were held TO the joy and delight
Of all present. After another call
for pledges. resulting in several
hundred dollars more, Brother
Snivley made a talk, followed by
Judge Smith Of Richmond, Brother
r. q. Hutchins Of the Union Church
and J. w. Herndon OF the Glades
Church.
The Union Church dismissed their
services for the day and met with
us. which all Of ms appreciated
very much. But for the fact that
the Baptists and Methodists had
already arranged special programs
for the day. they would have been
with us also.
As minister Of the congregation,
want to thank the people of Berea
for all courtesies and I hope that
the day proved a blessing TO all.
Regular services for the next
Lords day will be held as usual.
The pastor had a pleasant trip last

METHODIST CHURCH

Those who heard Miss Frances
Scott on Tuesday evening OF last
week, thoroughly enjoyed her talk
She has been a missionary in
India for % years and is well ac-
quainted with conditions and Gus
toms there.
II might be interesting 10 the men
TO know that the Hindu whips his
wife at least once a year. This is
a custom. II he thinks she needs
it. he performs. the ceremony as
often as he thinks il necessary.
They believe il a child dies be-
fore she is engaged, which usually
occurs during the first year Of her
life, that her spirit will be evil
and returning. will torment her
parents. Therefore they build
shrines TO these, where they wor-
ship and offer sacrifice. When the
owners Of these shrlnes become
Christians and tear them down,
great crowds often gather 10 wit
ness il. expecting the new Christian
to be struck with deafness, blind
ness or some awful disease.
Some Of these things seem rather
amusing 10 us. but when we hear Of
the people measuring their lengths
in the hot sand. on the way TO the
temple. TO get rid Of their sins.
and realize that many never live
TO get there and those who do. re-
turn with the same sins, il becomes
serious thing. Probably the most
serious thing OF all is that so many
are held back on account OF not hav-
ing enough Christian workers 10
teach them after they have &C
cepted Christ, and they are so very
ignorant OF even the essential things
of the Christian religion that they
must be taught.
The Foreign Missionary Societies
are doing great work. but when
we realize what needs TO be done.
we begin TO feel that they are only
the edges. They need the
help OF every one who cares.
Seven new members came into
our society at this meeting and we
want others who are interested in
this work.
July 4 was celebrated with two
good patriotic sermons, not the kind
we sometimes hear as substitutes
FOR the Gospel, but real Fourth OF
July messages from the Bible.
The sermon next Sunday morn
ing will be on the subject Solo
mons Sin-God's Mercy" Text,
Did not Solomon, King OF Israel,
Yin by these things? Yet among
many nations was there no king like
him, who was beloved OF his God"
Nehemiah -: 26.
