DR.. PINER breaches
SPLENDID SERMON ON
SUBJECT OF TITHING

One does not expect a large con-
gregation on a Monday night, even
Billy Sunday uses Monday as his
rest day. Myrtle Street Methodist
Church was we'll filled last night, the
whole of the main auditorium being
taken up.
DR.. Piner's sermon was no Blue
Monday effusion. 1t was sharp and H.
the point. The interest is growing
and there is no doubt but that there
will be a crush the remaining days
of the week.
The sermon was taken from the
narrative of Ananias and Saphira who
were stricken dead for lying in the
days of the Apostles. The subject was
keeping Back Part of the Price. y
The evangelist said in part: Il be-
lieve in tithing, that is giving directly
to the cause of God tenth of my in
come, but it is a mistake to imagine
that only one dime in ten belongs to
HINT is all His. Pay your debts
end you are doing the will of God, the
same when you feed and clothe your
children. You are using Gods money,
and you will have to give an account
of every penny of it. The money you
give to the church is tainted" Here
followed an earnest exhortation to
give the whole man to God, not nine
tenths of him, but all of him.
At the invitation of the preacher, a
number of persons publicly acknowl-
edged Christ by coming to the front.
There are several more candidates
for church membership.
The meetings will continue all this
week, commencing at 1880. 1t will be
wise to be there before that time.

At about half past five o'clock
Monday afternoon, Mr.. Baro de La
loire, brother of Mrs. Francis De-
Blanc of New Iberia, was struck dead
by a flash of lightning, near his
home in ST. Martinville.
1t seems that he and his twin bro
Their, Liable de Laloire, were walking
together from their work in the rice
field, going toward home. They were
but about five feet apart, and when
the stroke came both were knocked
to the ground, but Liable was able to
rise almost Immediately, but he found
that Baro had been instantly killed,
his hat and overalls having been
stripped into shreds by the flash.
Bero de Laloire was twenty three
years old, and son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. B. de Laloire of ST. Martinville
He is survived by his parents, four
brothers and five sisters, being Liable,

Get Yours.

Those who are still wearing blue
goggles and toddling along with the
Hard Timers can relieve themselves
of much useless worry by reading
the following signs Of better times
dug right out of the book Of facts:
GOOD TIMES COMING.
The net income return of railroads
for July, now available, climbed to
$40. OOO,O 900, which is no less than
S17OOO.OO better than the previous
month. The South is looking up and
getting busy with cotton advancing
to q cents with good chance Of its
going to a quarter Of a dollar. Idle
freight cars decreased more than
$4,000 during the closing week of
August. Wheat exports during the
same month were four times what It
ever was before in any pre-war Aug
ust. Corn crop experts are predicting
a huge crop, which will serve to bal
ance the general grain shortage. Pig
iron production increased notably.
Shipments of automobiles also in
creased over the July totals, contra
nv to custom SO did postal receipts,
building and construction work, and
sales generally The leather and tex
tile industries report increased activ-
ity, and the liabilities attaching to
commercial failure register notable
decrease.
And most significant of all signs
the general downward trend in the
prices of stocks and securities, as we'll
as wholesale commodity prices, has
been definitely checked in favor of
decided upward tendency all along
the line.
This can only mean that the BUY
ers' Strike" is over, and that money
is on the roll once more.
Of course it is not going to start
up full blast all at once, but the in
crease in business will be steady, and
will naturally go to the man who
goes after it the hardest.
The worlds greatest Mail Order
House, Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chi
cago are going hard after the new

business all over the United States.
They have opened up new de-
partment Of their selling force,-a
department that does nothing all year
round but read copies Of local week
ly newspapers, that they get from
all sections of the country.
Whenever they notice paper that
does not carry good number Of adj
vertisements for local business hous-
es, they know that paper is publish
ed in a town that will be good terri
tory for their Mail Order Business,
and they at once flood that town
with their catalogues.
1t costs that company a fabulous
amount of money to subscribe for
and check over all these weekly pa
pers, but they are shrewd business
men, and they have found that it
pays them to do this. They have also
found that they do not get much
business from the towns where the
local merchants advertise regularly
in the town papers.
In other words, "The Mail Order
House is not competitor Of mer-
chant who advertises, but makes its
millions off from the business houses
that do not use regular space in their
home town papers"
In spite of the very evident fact
that the merchants who advertise in
New Iberia are the ones who are
getting the gravy" there are still
some men in business here that say
1T doesn't pay" forgetting the old
saying that Sin the Land of Doubt
the man who dares is King"
There is no such thing as losing
your business. You lose your head
and loss of business follows inevitab-
ly.
Don't sit down and wait for boom
times. Start a little personal boom
Of your own.
The man who says it is no use, and
acts it, is the one who will have to
pay his share of profit to the man.

does.
