WHAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD
DO TO KEEP FROM BACK
SLIDING.

At the close of his sermon
Sunday night, Rev. Bob Jones
said there were five things
Christian should do, namely: .
1. Read your Bible at least
ten minutes each day. =
2. Pray in private three "
times each day.
8. Testify for Jesus every
time you get chance.
a. Go to church every time
you get a chance, but do not
miss prayer-meeting.
5. Don't worry about feel
ings, but trust the Lord and
do your duty. 4"
i * y.
The evangelistic meetings which
began in Starkville, October 17th,
came to close last Sunday night,
the final service being held in the
College auditorium with vast as
semblage of people present to hear
the closing message of the Rev. Bob
Jones.
1t may be said that never before
in the history of Starkville or the
A. & M. College has there. been such
genuine religious awakening and
the amount of good accomplished
cannot be estimated. The student
body, residents of the campus and
the people of the city are unanimous
in their praise of the work of Rev.
Jones and his capable song leaders,
Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Jones. The
preacher was at all times absolutely
fearless in his denunciation of sin
in it's every form. His sermons were
beautiful in their simplicity. No
one could question his earnestness
or sincerity. His reasoning was
faultless and convincing. His illus
trations timely and appropriate. No
man or woman who heard him thru
this series of meetings can say that
he did not make plain the plan of
salvation. His delineation of sin and
its consequences unquestionably
made an indelible impression on the
hearts and minds of his hearers.
Hundreds of college men who have
been drifting with the tide of world
liness renewed their faith and Pied
ged anew their loyalty to the Cap
tain of their salvation. At least $50
students decided for God and the
right during the various meetings.
A large number gave their names
for church membership.
The cause of righteousness in the
community has received mighty i'm
petus. Ideals have been raised to a
higher standard. Conscience has
been quickened. Men have been
made to see sin in all of it's hideous-
ness. We have seen the result of
the expulsive power of new affec-
tion. The things we formerly en-
joyed, or thought we enjoyed, have
now become obnoxious to us. 1t is
the fervent prayer of every christian
man that the great moral victory
which has been won may never be
turned into defeat by the forces of
wrong.

The flyless city is a possibil- ity that some towns have real- ized. Why not make Williams one of those cities. It can be- done if all the people of Will Hams will join in thorough cleanup. Without filth there can be no flies. Now is the time to kill the flies, before they appear. One fly prevent ed from matching now meana that thousands will not appear later. Eliminate the filth, and make Williams a clean and a fyless town. The town team will haul away your tin cans and rubbish without charge, if you have it boxed and set in the alley on the 2Oth of May.
 Crash that can be burned should be burned as the city team will not haul away this class of waste.)

Agricultural Land? Well, Yes!

 Out in Red Lake Valley there are many we'll tended farms which are now producing ex- cellent fields of wheat, oats, po- tatoes. That is not all but it is enough. The country which can produce these crops is des- tined to become a great farm ing section. Have you stopped to reflect that there is no sec tion of the United States, that raises any finer potatoes than this valley, and that only by irs rigation is larger yield pro- duced, and then of an inferior quality? Sixty bushel oats were raised by a number of farmers in this valley last year there are very few sections, if any, in the great farming states of Nebraska, Kansas and Mis- souri, that can beat this. Kan sas boasts bumper crop when her yield of wheat averageS from fifteen to twenty bushels to the acre. Red Lake Valley did this well last year. So did Putnam Valley, Spring Valley. Government Prairie, Garland Prairie and the remainder of our farming districts. Kansas is noted as one of the greatest wheat states because she can produce such yield. The day will soon come when this farm. ing section shall be noted for wheat, oats and spuds. Here Tn lies a great future for Will Hams and vicinity. Every resi- dent of Williams can help tc hasten that day.
 / The homesteaders are com. ing. They are clamorng for more land. Some land is vet available, but more land should be opened to them. Add your voice to the demand that thi1 land shall be opened.
