CHURCH CHURCH COLUMN
M. E. CHURCH SOUTH.

The Sunday school is well attended.
Considering the unusual hot spell OF
weather the school is keeping up its
record attendance equal TO the past
years or better. The church services
are well attended and last Sunday at
the morning service Mrs. Johnson and
Mrs. Sullivan favored us with a duet.
II sounded like old times TO hear Mrs.
johnson and Mrs. Sullivan sing. They
sang sweetiy Sunday morning which
was much enjoyed by the congrega-
ton. We had several strangers to
worship with us Sunday morning.
Among them Prof. Ward OF Paints
Vile and NJ. c. Kirk also OF same place,
Mr.. Green OF Frankfort. KY, was q
worshiper and we are informed that
he is the Sunday school superinten-
dent OF the NJ. L. Church South. Sun
day school OF that famous city
Rev. Bell used for his text Sunday
morning the 3rd verse OF the 17th
chapter Of John.
And this is life eternal that they
might know thee. the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
hast sent" 5r
II were TO say that Rev. Ball de-
livered one of the best sermons from
this text he has yet preached In LOU
lisa ! would not miss the mark very
far. II was a soul stirring message,
with no room for skepticism. and that
no man would ever know God by wis
dom alone. stating that religion was
not heard or seen. but only selt. The
membership Of the church that missed
hearing II lost much. Only a few more
Sundays OF this conference year re-
main. Rev. Bell is preaching better
ali the time and each service you miss
is an opportunity forever gone.

Calf, "and that's been a long time,
for I'm now in my sixty-eighth year.
Il remember when l was q child !
was kept on a strict diet of lime
water and milk for weeks and l have
been in constant distress all these
years. 1 suffered terribly from bloat-
ing and had to be very careful of what
ate. Il became so weak and nervous
l could hardly go about my housework
and was in a miserable condition.
About two years ago my husband
got such splendid results from Tanlac
he insisted on my taking it and the
medicine wasn't but little while in
Kidding me of my troubles. 1t gave
me splendid appetite, and I could
enjoy a good hearty meal, even things
hadn't dare touch before, without
any fear of it troubling me.
-"Then 1 had the influenza and be-
came dreadfully sick and weak, but
my stomach kept in good order and it
only took four bottles of Tanlac to
build me up again to where I'm now
feeling better than at any time I can
remember. l have gained eleven
pounds in weight, too, and words can't
express the gratitude 1 feel toward
Tanlac. I keep Tanlac in the house
all the time now, for l know it is q
medicine that can be depended upon"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.-Adv.

BOBBY WANTED THAT AGATE
II Persistency Could Have Got 1t for
Him, We Must Admit He
Deserved 1t.

The older boys were playing mar
bles. Three-year-old Bobby wished
some agates like his brother had and
asked father for two cents to buy one
with. The money was given to him
and he Immediately wished to go to
the store to make the purchase. So
persistent did he become that father
said:
eff you don't keep still about that
agate I will take those pennies away
from you"
"What will you do with the pennies
If you do take them away?" he asked.
"Why, I'll put them back in my
purse"
"Will you take them uptown when
you go to the Officer"
Eyes; WILL"
After a few moments reflection,
Bobby came back with:
"And will you buy me an agate with
them?"

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings, Witty and Wise, That Are
Worth Being Preserved in
an Anthology.

Professor Sir Arthur CUTLER Couch,
in the course of his lively lectures
"On the Art of Reading" gives some
examples of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence,
the accent of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish r. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure we're always
laughing! That We may laugh in the
sight of the Glory of Heaven" The
writer once thought Of making an an
thology of such wild flowers of way
side speech. He would have included
in it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter in the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point
ing with his whip to an intensely blue
lake on the horizon, "Bitter as a dy-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of a ghost
implied in the words Of Newfound-,
land fisherman, There l sees 'em
warming themselves in the moon
light"

BUSH Velvet BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn as 1t
Does Not Make Harvesting
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators of tl,~
United States Department of Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean in
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three-fourths of
those reporting consider the bean a
market success, and over half of them
believe it to be superior to any other
variety, everything taken into con-
sideration. Two uses of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise First, is its use in corn,
where its nontwining habit Is very
desirable, as it does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult,
as do the twining varieties. Second,
it Is found ideal as cover and green
manure crop in citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer
tilizer bill for citrus orchards.
