 Enjoys Fishing Trip
 pr. Hendrix returning to Birming- ham for few days to officiate at the marriage of MT. John w. Sibley and Mrs. Florence Warner, then went down to Camp Walton, Fla, where he found delightful environment for his favorite pastime-fishing- living in the great "out-of-doors." !,

 T have found two facts more and more defining themselves in the sea- sons of vacations in recent years.
 Memory carries me back more tenderly to what had been buried treasures and I find myself happy in the possessions that never can be lost The memory of the loves that hlest my childhood and youth and the efforts put forth to do things worth while in those years spent in lifeis hinterland. can never perish, These are mine while the strange things we call my, personality. shall endure.
 Then I am reminded that my air castles were all too small and too near the earth, Providence has led me far out beyond my youthful dreams. and 1t doth not yet appear what we shall be. Vacation affords an occasion for yisioning the things yet to be.
 The world is growing more beau tiful, life has an intense meaning and a nobler goal to the man who has time to quit for awhile his place in the arena of struggle and sit in the balcony awhile and look at the pro- cession moving on.
 ITO the minister a vacation Is a necessity and to his flock it ought to be a boon. Physical energies re- newed, mental elasticity regained and spiritual horizons rearranged, fit him to take up the old tasks in a new way. and to put a new accent into the old, old story.

about four feet long, set up on end,

One morning when | went in to
make call, the family of dolls was
asleep in little white bed. The

meal. Everything was very neat,
showing their good housekeeping.
Altogether it looked very inviting.
The children of the kindergarten
have a lot of fun playing their

put away; and when soiled are

A large portion of the great Whit

an important crop, were little used,

an ample supply for winter. They

carrots and potatoes followed the
beef at the appropriate time, and,
best of all, pudding. No boiled
