Fire Engine Arrived.

From the earliest days of Edgefeld
down to a few weeks ago Edgefeld
has been at the mercy of the flames
wherever fire broke out. For the size
of the town Edgefeld has had some
as disastrous fires in the years gone
by as almost any other place in the
State. But things will be different
from now on. The town is equipped

A Very Worthy Cause.

Our fifth page is devoted this week
to setting forth the needs and suffer-
ing of humanity in remote portion
of the world. Read what is said and
you will be convinced that our peo-
pie should share what they have with
those so much less fortunate. Mail a
check to the treasurer of the fund in
Columbia and you will find more joy

to the least of one of these is serving
in most acceptable manner Him
whose birthday we are soon to cele-
brate. The NEED is GREAT. Give

For Boys and Girls.

Some of the ways they may learn
to be happy in this life and the great
future. These are four words of four
letters each, if you will learn them
and use them.
will tell you what they are. First
one is Love, second, Obey; third,
Help; fourth, Pray. There are many
great thoughts we may gather from
them. Love is, the first one you learn
ed. 1t was. at mothers knee. Do you
love her now as you did then? Our
parents are first in our love; do we
prove it by what we do for them?
How often do we make their eyes to.
sparkle, their face to show the ex-s
preston of joy? Doubtless there are
many days in the future Of your life
with opportunity every day to prove
to them your love. The more you do
for them, the more you will love to.
do, the more you will see to do.
If you love your parents you will.
not look for the pleasures of life for
yourself alone, they must have a
share. Brother, sister and friend, a
share of your love.
There is One other you must not
forget to love, that is Christ, who
gave His life that we might live. He's
gone to prepare place for those who
love Him.
Then we come to the next one,
Obey. This sounds like a hard word
to bring in with love, but obedience is
one of the laws of heaven. Let US be-
gin to learn it here. The boy or girl
that obeys is seldom reproved. Pa
rents and teachers count on you
when they want something done. You
add to your parents joy and happi-
ness. 1t will add to yours after a
while. Every one should learn to obey
Gods commandments. Gods word
teaches us. that it is better to obey
than to sacrifice.
The third one is Help. Everybody
can tell what help means. The girl
and boy must learn to help in the
home and then they can help: each
other. A joy comes into the life Of
everyone who helps a friend, a neigh
Dor or an enemy, into the path of
life. God wants our help each day.
Think once, twice and every time it
is your duty to help Him and all
whom you come in contact with.
God expects you to help, the world
needs your help, and the help you
give to God and the world becomes,
a JOY in your own life, reward for
you in the great future.
Our last word is Pray. Do you
know it's meaning? A poet gives the.

,est i know. 1t is this:

best know. tits this:
Prayer, the simplest form Of speech,
That infant lips may try,
Prayer, the sublimest thought,
That reach the Majesty on high"
Itis the duty of every one to learn
to pray, not to say prayers, alone by
the mouth, but with the heart and
mind and that sense of feeling that
we are talking to God. To everyone
that prays thus, there comes a joy
that is unspeakable and full. 1t will
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1920-12-22
make YOU i want to come again,

In repentance we want to know
how to pray. 'Tis then I'VE seek to
know how we may make peace with
God; 'Tis then we put forth our best
efforts to please Him; It's then, when
we offer our whole life to do as best
we can for Him that He gives us the
Joy that has no equal. 1t will thrill
our life as never before and will con-
tinue to be our greatest joy as long
as we are willing to trust in Him.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1920-12-22

The conclusion is this: If we do
not in this life learn to love and obey,
to help and pray, God will have no
use for US in heaven.
Shall we not learn the four little
words that mean so much to each
here in this life and in the future
life? Peace, joy and happiness
through all eternity.

ar FOXs house, but he told them he
was too busy to stop and get the
honey just then, and they could call
again.
They were good-natured little fell
lows and did not mind, but when they
called another time and Mr.. Fox gave
another excuse and no honey, they
made up their minds he did not intend
to give them anything for getting the
grapes.
One morning Mr.. Fox had his grape
wine all made and poured into bottles,
which he placed in the window to cool
while he made his jelly. Billy ana
Teddy saw the bottles and back home
they ran, When they returned they
brought big jug filled with vinegar
and. emptying the wine out of Mr..
Fox's bottles, they filled them with the
vinegar, and off they ran.
Not long after, when Mr.. Fox had
finished his jelly he thought some cool
grape wine would taste good, so he
sat down by the window and. tipping
up the DOtClc, DeSdH 10 uIlllh'
He took a good. long, deep drink,
and then he dropped the bottle ana

Teddy and Billy Bear had been
waiting to hear this noise and they
came running up to the window. Did
you call us, Mr.. FoX?" they asked
very sweetly; "we thought you want
ed to give us the honey"
But Mr.. Fox was jumping about on
his hind legs and holding his stomach
and making so much fuss he could not
answer.
WHAT is the NATTER Mr.. FOX?
asked the mischievous little fellow;
were those grapes sour like the ones
your eat-great-grandfathe did not
get?"
Mr.. Fox did not reply; he was FAR
too unhappy just then, but later, when
he felt better, he looked under the win
dow where the bottle stood and saw
on the ground a big dark spot. and he
wished he had been honest with Teddy
and Billy Bear and not treated them
so badly.

If your hands are naturally cold,
get a blood tonic, and take a lot of eX-

gloves, corsets, shoes, nor belt pinch;
these often stop the free flow of the
blood. Try to keep your hands
warm, and be sure that you meet an
outstretched hand with a clasp that
is firm and cordial, not limp and life

MIR. FOX & THE BEARS

NER. FOX could not climb; he could
1Vl take long leaps and jumps, but
of what use would jumping be when
he wanted to gather grapes that grew
high in tree where the vine had
tWined around the branches.
"Such fine grape wine and jelly as
those wild grapes would make if only
I coulds climb" thought Mr.. Fox, look
ing up at the grapes far out of his
reach.
Just then he saw running along
through the woods little Billy and
Teddy Bear, and he knew that they
could climb.
"Come here, youngsters, and get
these grapes for me and | will give
you some honey when I get home" he
said.
Now Mr.. Fox did not have any
honey and he had no intention of pay
ing the little fellows anything, 'fOr."
he said, "they would climb anyway

just for fun; why not climb and help
me?"
Up the tree went Teddy and Billy
and soon Mr.. Fox had his big basket
heaped with grapes.
"When will we get the honey?'
asked the little fellows.
"Oh, some day when you are pass
ing stop ill.," said Mr.. Fox, all care

Meat Substitutes.

Meat, though wholesome and well
liked by the majority of people, is not
essential to a well-balanced meal
and many housekeepers who are in
terested in lessening the food bill, sub
stitute some other foods equally or
more nourishing and at less cost.
Foods to take the place of meat should
he rich in protein and fat. Cheese is
q staple food with which everyone is
familiar and one which may be used
in a variety of ways.
In substituting cheese or any food
for meat, especial pains should be
taken to serve dishes which are well
liked by the family.

Age
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

IT is only as we recognize the Min
Il ute upon Minute, Hour upon Hour,
Day upon Day, philosophy of Time
that we are able to enter into the serl-
Gus lesson that Age has for us all. For
Age has no philosophy excepting the
philosophy OF accomplishment, as 1t
natures. Even as you think, you Age.
And yet in Aging you are liable to real
ize the full meaning of every breath
that you Breathe and of every single
Effort you make.
In the Sunset is reviewed the glory
of the day.
Age is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Age
is Initiative-wOrked out. Age is the
Dream-come true Age is the Tree
full grown. Age is the Business Sue
cessful-a power in its area. What you
are is the sum of your days in Age
Averaged.
In your Success is reflected the prod
uct of every one of your hours.
Age is not the mere piling up OF
Years, for many a man is Old at thirty,
and many a man is young at eighty.
For Youth is as elastic as Age, and
Age is as elastic as Youth. Let the
Experience of Age ever be teacher to
YOU. Let it Admonish as well as En-
courage you.
