BLESSINGS

| have so many blessings |
cannot count them all, and For
tunes soft caressings upon me
daily fall; the sun is busy shin
ing. all clouds have silver lin
ing; yet | find time for whining
and putting up bawl. 1t takes
a lot of hunting to find a good
excuse for waving crepe-hued
bunting and weeping like the
deuce; but l am most persistent
though sorrow may be distant
and almost nonresident. I'll
rope it with a moose. I've all
a guy could wish for, I've health
and roubles, too; the fame | used
to fish for now spreads to far
Wahoo; done are the strife and
straining, sweet boons are on me
raining. and still | sit complain
ing, and raise a howdydo. My
car is out of kilter, it seems to
lack the power; the milkman
ought to filter his juice-it's
turning sour the man who sells
me berries and pies and pink
canaries-his system never va
ries, he stings me every hour.
For these and other reasons /
sob beside the sea, although,
throughout the seasons, the gods
are good to me; their gifts they
are bestowing, their goodness
ever growing; and still, my
teardrops flowing, l moan, ooh,
hully chee!''

charges that the company adopted a
policy of refusal to sell sugar to
prospective purchasers unless they

lPORTANT MATTER
 BEFORE BAPTISTS

The session of the Ala abama Baptist convention to be held in Decatur in No- vember, 16-19 will proba bly be. the most important session of that body ever held. This importance is due to the constant increasing and enlarging work of the Baptists of the state.
 During the past few months there has been considerable agitation with refer ence to the removal of Howard College from it's present to some other location in Birmingham. The removal is favored by some and opposed by others. The con- vention will doubtless be called upon to act upon the matter.
 A commission from the convention has been at work for a year on building a hospital in Alabama. This commission will report it's findings at the convention and ask for further directions. Several cities are seeking to obtain this institu- tion
 The Baptist Orphanage at Evergreen has already been authorized to be moved to-Troy The actual work of moving and buildingNa larger institution at Troy will be settled at this convention. The committee on programme for the convention has just had meeting in Birmingham to perfect it's work. Dr w. II. smith of Birmingham is president of the convention and Rev. w. M Murray of Brewton will preach the convention sermon.

fellowship and their activities The young people have also organized an orchestra, and furnish delightful music for Sunday school.
 Now this religious school of Temple Emanu-El is the same that has the day school in the south. The plan, as outlined by Doctor Newfield, has been I followed by religious schools in many other parts of the country GRADED SYSTEM
 "We have adopted the graded system, ,' said Doctor Newfield with 12 grades beginning with the Cradle roll, through the Senior Bible class and the grown peoples class. Though the latter is not Q part of the Sunday school, it is af- filiated with it.''
 With Dr. Newfield as superintendent,
 the religious school, enrolling mem bershp of 256, members as it's teachers: Miss Delian Karples, in charge of the Cradle roll; Miss Walpot. teacher of first kindergarten Miss Ida Gelders. teacher Of second Kindergarten and director of lower grades.
 The first primary class is taught by Miss Johanna Friesleben; the second by Miss S. Krentzman; the first inter-
 mediate by Miss Hattie Kaplan; the second by Mrs. Ed Ople; and the third intermediate by Miss Hortense Jacobson
 Mrs. E. Ruhenstein is teacher of the junior class; Prof Chester Sandman is in charge os the confirmation klass, while Mrs. Avery Joseph has the junior Bible class. and Mrs. M. Lenk directs the work of the senior Bible class. The srper-memorary teacher of this wide awake school is Mrs. Chester Bandman Miss Edna Wald Is instructor for the Hebrew grade.
 Among the prominent 1aymen who are manifesting loyal interest in the religious, educational and philan- thropic work of the temple are the able president of the congregation, Mr M. V. Joseph. and the vice president, MT. Leo K. Steiner.
 One of the most enthusiastic mem bers is MT. simon Klotz, while the old est in valiant service is MT. Ben M. Jacobs, one of the founders of the con-
 gregation. Other active workers are Ben. Leader Leo Oberdorfer, Ike Adler, Morris Adler and Sam Blach. Through the untiring service of MT. Blach s3O,- 900 was raised as the balance neces- sary to take up the mortgage on the temple building. Neither should the name of the secretary, Mir. E. Gres- field, be left out in any roster that numbers the faithful members of the temple.
 Our friends will be welcomed to our services on Friday evenings at s o'clock and on Sunday mornings at 10:30 to visit our religious school, was the last word and cordial invitation of Dr. Newfield
 And the friends of the congregation will doubtless accept this gracious in- vitation. as an opportunity to express appreciation of the nilsson that Temple EmmanuEl is fulfilling in Birming. ham.

Let Us Go to Work

 Summers over. Let's now get down to work with our coats off, our enthusiasm reinvigorated. our determination doublel. The best season for making a mark and winning promotion is now here. Advance ments in salary and in position usually come on January 1. But they have to
 be earned before then. Now is the time , to start earning them with greater vim
 and vigor than ever before. Things are getting back to normal after their long war-caused upheaval. Business in most lines has now to be gone after. This Of. fers opportunities to win spurs. The slackening trade pace calls for greater energy and enterprise and intelligence. The lull in many industries is bringing wedding of workers Incentive to do
 ones level best exists in unusual measure
 Most of us have had some sort of a rest, some sort of vacation, some sort of
 let-up. Rests and vacations are designed. not to afford surfet of pleasure but to re-enforce, reinvigorate our vital ity of body and mind for the .c coming years work. This year there is need to work. Any stacker, any sleepy head. and drone could get by during the last
 two or three years, when help of every 1 kind was at a premium But conditions have changed. Competition is being re- ! stored, competition for jobs as we'll as l for orders. There are now both necessity and opportunity for the exercise of every ! ounce of energy and ability we possess. | The earnest, able, conscientious, cour- ageous employee welcomes matching nls or her ability and output against the
 whole field. Employers are now taking {, keen note of those who can deliver the goods and of those who cannot. If not before, the end q the year is certain to 1 bring many changes in the personnel or I the unworthy will be let out.

Too Much Side-Stepping

Charles Aubrey Eaton, in Leslie's. We are deeenerating into a nation of side-steppers Everyone is looking for
 an easy job with big pay. People resent the necessity of working, and express their resentment by stacking on thelr jobs, or breaking and wasting like bull in china shop.
 The thing has passed beyond the big organizations of labor and become gen eral. The laundress and housemaid, the hired man on the farm, clerks and office boys, street cleaners and ditch diggers, you find the same ugly spirit every where. ITO he'll with it'' is the slogan of the new freedom.
 This attitude of moral imbecility con stitutes our chief national problem. II is idle to legislate upon a fair day S work for fair days pay. No legisla- ton can change the souls of men. I'm proved conditions of labor: increased pay. collective bargaining: open or closed shops-none of these will amount to hill of beans so long as men look | upon their work as hateful drudgery l rather than as privilege and service. This side-stepping state of mind did
 not develop in day or a year. It is the result of a process extending over a l long time
 l Hosts of parents whose early life was l hard have been filled with the benevo- | lent notion that they did not want their }chldren to have as hard a time as they did. The result is a generation of young | people reared in idleness; smeared over with thin veneer of cheap social re- l finement accustomed to the selfish ex- penditure of money which they did not earn and could not earn, ignorant of | the process of toll which must lie be- ] hind every dollar in the world and I trained to side-step anything in life real ] ly hard.
 i Thus selfish septimentality on the par,
 of parents ends in producing breed oi
 moral weddings out of material as good | as the world contains.
 1 Then our educational system starts the children with the notion that study is play-indeed that all life is play. It is not surprising to find that such educa.
