Schools and Morals.

The public school is the corner
stone to the foundation of the gov
ernment. 1t is the one thing that
will prevent the usurpatiOn of power
by the corrupt. 1t is the builder of
better citizens.
Morgan county has established
county high school at this place and
has secured a corps of teachers that
can not be excelled anywhere, and the
people of the county are taking Il
keen interest in the growth and sue
cess of the school, A commercial de-
partment is planned later and it is
the hope of those interested in the wei
fare of the children of the county that
we can make this school ample to meet
! the needs of all the children in the
county.
But the one cloud that hangs over
it is the outbreak of the mOonshiner
and the bOOtlegger. Unless this damn
| able traffic can be checked to degree
| that it will be negligible the school
will not be patronized as it should be-
The county at large is interested in
the matter, and the selling of liquor
is spread all over the county.
Neither schools nor churches can dc
good work for the community il the
bootlegger is allowed to ply his ne
farious trade.

The Lords supper is a reminder of

CD Salvation, like this bread, is n
gift of Gods love. (2) We are remind
cd of Christ all he was, and did and
said-of the bondages of sin, the IL
tonement. 1t holds up the broken body
Of Christ, his shed blood for us; for
in him alone is the forgiveness of sin.
So we must partake of it by faith as IL
will be of no avail. We are taught to
distribute 1t to one another. 1t is the
great Central blessing that brings all
the Christian world together. Paul
made mention of it when he saw the
Christians at Antioch dividing.
When we look ut the Lords supper
from strict Bible and true religious
sense II must be for every Child OF
God, Baptized by the one spirit into
the one body for we must all come tC

LORDS SUPPER.

The words which thus describe the
great Central act of the worship of
the Christian church occur but in one
passage of the New Testament: l Cor.
11-20. It's institution.
1t was instituted on that night when
Jesus and his disciples met together
to eat the passover, Mat. 26: 19-Mark
IA: 13, probably on Thursday evening,
April 6, A. d. 30. 1t was probably in
stituted at the Bird Cup (the Cup of
blessing) of the passover. Jesus tax
ing one Of the unleavened cakes used
at that feast and breaking it and CIV
ing it to his disciples with the Cup.
The narratives Of the Gospel show how
IstrOngly the disciples were impressed
with the word which had given Il new
meaning to the old familiar acts. They
looked on the bread and the wine as
memorials of deiiN.rahe from EsyEt.
They were told to partake of them as
Il remembrance of their Lord and
Master" The words This is my
body" gave the unleavened bread a
new character. They had been pre-
pared for language that would other
wise have been sc startling by the
teaching of John 6: 81, 5S and they
were thus taught to see in the bread
that was broken the witness of the
closest possible union and incorpara-
ton with their Lord.
The Cup, which was the New Testa-
ment in his blood, would remind in
like manner of the wonderful prophecy
in which that new covenant had been
foretold, Jer. 81: 81, "a.
Gradually and progressively he had
prepared the minds of his diciples ia
realize the idea of his death as a sac.
rifice. He now gathers up all previ
Gus announcements in the institution
of this sacrament. The festival had
been annual.
No rule was given as to the time
and frequency of the new feast thai
thus supervened on the old, but thu
command do this as oft as We drinl
It," / Cor. IL 20 suggested the NOR,
continual recurrence of that which
was to be their memorial of one whom
they would wish never to forget
Luke in the Acts describes the bap
tized members of the church as con
tinuing steadfast in or to the teachin,
of the Apostles in fellowship witt
them and with each other, and il

BULGARIAN MILK FOR BABIES

Miss Reep, who is doing such
good work with the Baby Fund at
the Hospital has made arrangements
to keep Bulgarian milk throughout
the summer. She will teach the
mothers how to prepare the milk
and will keep the culture always on
hand. Those who are able to pay for
the milk will be asked to contribute
dollar to the Baby Fund, but those
who are in reduced circumstances
will be given the culture. Bulgarian
milk has been found to agree with a
greater number of babies than any,
other food and Miss Reep's help and
the access to fresh culture should
prove of inestimable value to the
mothers of the county.
The Baby Fund is a fine charity
and is most competently managed
by Miss Reep.
