IMPORTANCE OF RELIC
IOUS TRAINING.
By Mary Collins Terry.

No little child should be with
out religious training, for it is
as essential to the balance and
beautiful growth of his character
as tine proper food is to his body.
This training can be given in the
home and in the Sunday School.
Both are excellent means, and
should supplement each other,
for it is when these two institu-
tions work together that the
child receives the highest benefit.
Because of the ease with
which the child learns, and the
capacity to retain even unto old
age what was learned in child
hood. religious training should
begin early. Do not say, "Oh
when my boy is old enough to
decide for himself | will let him
choose his church. I" You do
not leave his manners until then,
so why his morals? High ideals
and a good moral code are most
easily formed in his plastic years.
The child is naturally an i'm
itator and hero worshipper.
The stirring stories of the Bible
heroes and the application of the
truths of the great old Bible
stories go far toward helping
him formulate the rules which
are to govern his own actions
now and in later life.
The parents in the home are
the ones whose high privilege
it is to begin their children's
religious training. 1t is a pity
that so many, through thought
lessness or. neglect this sweet
duty. The Sunday School next
should next take up and help to
broaden aud develop the child's
religious experience.
There are several ways in
which the Sunday School does
its work a, little better than the
same work can be done at home
In the first place children are
drawn to other children. They
naturally tend to work or play
in groups; to be with other chill
dren initiating or joining in their
activities. gives incentive to Sum-
day School work.
The Sunday School carries on
regular and systematic course

Siamese Twins Die.

The death of Josefa and Rosa,
the Czecho -SlovaKian twins in a
Chicago hospital, recalls the
residence in this country of the
original "Siamese Twins" who
were exhibited both in Europe
and in this county for scores of
years and lived to the good age
of 63.
Chang and Eng, as they were
known, were born at Bangesau,
Siam, on April Is, 1911. They
were brought to the United
States when 18, and they were
exhibited in various parts of the
country and later were taken to
Europe. When they tired of
the show business they settled
at Mount Airy. N. c., and there
they died on January II, 1874.
The Czecho- -Slovakins, sisters,
who have been referred to as
"Siamese Twins" were discove-
ed by a theatrical manager a
quarter of century ago and they
have been exhibited throughout
Europe. Fifteen years ago
Rosa married and one son was
born to her. Her husband, an
Austrian, was killed in the
World War.
The sisters had amessed a con.
siderable fortune and they were
prepared to retire from the
stage. They came to the United
States a few months ago in tine
hope of finding a surgeons who
could separate them.
Their search was in vain as
the X-ray showed that the sis
tiers had complete individual
systems with exception of the
lower stomach, which they
shared in cornmon They vere

believing that economy of time

be enhanced through longer

selves to a minium term of

We recommend the appoint

of Bible study, adapted to the
ages of children, and presenting
the most suitable Bible material
in an attractive form.
: A visit to the live modern Sun
day School in the average church
would be a means of enlighten-
ment and surpriseY TO many.
Hand work. simple songs, and
rhythm for little children; and
home work, class competition,
and even dramatics and pageant
ry for the older ones, have been
the means of making Bible study
delightful, attractive. and abso-
lutely indispensable to our child
rem.
There are ways in which we
parents can and ought to cooper
ate with the Sunday School
Our children can learn to be
punctual and regular. We
should show our interest in their
progress and experiences. How
proud they would be if father or
mother would also go to Sunday
School, perhaps to the adult
Bible class "A little child shall
lead them" Then let US have
faith in the old Bible promise:
Train up a child in the way
he should go: and when he is
old he will not depart from it.

Republicans Endorse Nation.

tratiOn.

of Jackson County in mass con
vention Monday.
The Republican executive com
mittee of Jackson County Tenn
essee, congratulates President
Harding. on the work of the con.
ference on disarmament calico
by him some months ago anC
which met in Washington. with
representatives of all the great
nations of the earth. The agree.
ments reached by that confer.
ence insures reduction in the
Navies and armies of the world,
and will mean lessening of the
burden of taxation to the Amer
lean people of several hundred
million dollars each year and will
insure an era of peace for the
world.
The problems facing the Re-
publican party on the the as
sumption of the reins of govern
ment of March 1921. were great
er than those ever faced by an
administration at Washington,
involving legislation to meet all
the purplexing questions of re-
CONSTRUCTION following the world
war. The statement like man.
ner in which President Harding,
and the republican majority in
in Congress have met these
problems gives promise of rap
i'd read justment, a return to
normal conditions and an era of
prosperity for the whole country.
Endorcing Governor Taylor.
We congratulate Gov. A. A.
Taylor. on the statewide ap-
proval of his administration of
the affairs of Tennessee, and
predict for him an emphatic en-
dorcement at the polls of next
November. His vetoe of the
8 per cent law has the unquali-
fled approval of the republicans
of this county, and of a large
majority of the people of the
State.
Gov. Taylor. stands for re.
organization of the state gov
ernment by the ablition of use
less offices and the consolidation
of departments for economy and
efficiency in administration, has
the enforcement and approval of
the people, and if put into effect
would lessen the burden of taxa.

We unqualifiedly endorce Gov.
Taylor. in his stand for a re-
vision of the tax and assess
ment laws of the state, so as to
equalize the burden of taxation
on all the people, simplifying
the laws on the subject and
eliminating the evils of the
present back tax system. His
fight on the back tax evil and on
tax grading schemes of every
kind and character has the en-
dorcement of the people. We
now, call for the election of
members of the next general
assembly who will back the Gov.
enor in his demands for these
reforms. and who will fulfill pre-.
election pledges they will make
to the people.
We appealed and futher con-
graduated Gov. Taylor. on his
attitude and position in favor of
and for the betterment of the
agricultural condition and need

State.
The education of its youth is

there are more arrested cases of tu-
berculosis from this institution than
are obtained at any like institution

Superintendent Of rohce Black

knowing how many OF them have

While the matter was thoroughly
discussed last Thursday night. and
Council expressed itself as favoring
the collection OF these taxes, so far
no one seems inclined TO hell the
