}sfFaith and works are the two
oars. by pulling which. and both
at the sape time. The Christian
successfully rows his boat safely
across the blllowy river of life.
Ifsbut one oar is pulled. the
boat whirls round and round,
floating all time, down toward
eternity; but when, with an even
stroke, the oar of works does its
part at the same time that the
oar Of faith continues its steady
pull, then the boat rides safely
across the broad river and the
soul is at last landed on the ever
green shore, all through the
abundant grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The apostle James says, what
doth it profit, my brethren,
though a)man say he hath faith,
and have not works? can faith
save hlm?----For as the body
without the spirit is dead, so
faith without works is dead also"

OUR BORDER LETTER
BY S. M. Funderburk- .
Continued from last week.

Ydut 10 say Ill SOHuSStio"
with what, l have already said
about Mr.. Beaver, that he is a
wonder in every sense of the
word. He has one Of the most
remarkable memories OF any one
that it has ever been my pleas
ure to meet. 1 do not believe
there is person living or one
that has died in that section 0t
the country, whom have known
many years since he lived there
that he can't talk and tell Of. who
they were and who they married
To tell the truth, l think he can
take a sheet of paper and pen
Gil and draw complete map Of
that country, which was SO fa-
miliar tonne. and which ! knew
so we'll as a boy and young man.
1t was very refreshing to me to
hear such vivid and accurate de-
scriptions of the old settlement
in which we were both brought
up. Now 10 the great surprise
of many who are now living
there who knew Mr.. Beaver is
that he and his good wife are
both members of the Baptist
church. and are consistent Chris
tians. He informs me that he
greatly detests any form Of by
: pocracy and believes that any
one who processes to be Chris
tian should show it by, his every
day life among those whom they
live. There is no put on about
him. Every action of his life is
original in its character. Again.
I repeat he is a wonder.
Mr.. Beaver by hard work, in
and out of season, rain or shine.
day or night. has accumulated a
fortune. and az he sold me 1ha,
when he and my own aunt be-
gan planning for life, they de-
cided 10 work and -saye until
they had enough to live out theiI
old age without becoming bur
den TO any of his own connec.

that now but still persists in his
ideas, and says that if he should
live to be as old as his mother
who liked only nineteen days OF

speak. His mind is so clear on
subjects connected with the war,

that he had to 90 through with,
that it was astonishing to sit and

he cannot read a line and that il
was all from memory of what
, really happened, l could but
reach one conclusion, and that
was. what pity that such a
wonderful mind could not have
been given the advantage of an
education. He says he has seen
the!need Of it thousands of times;
that it would have aided him so
much in a business way,
Now l will ask a personal ia.

He tells me that ii would be a

writer he will answer any and
all correspondence. Now let me
beg all liberty loving kinsmen
who well remember him, to, not
forget him and the manhood he

1t was arrogantly and supercil

He could not, Of course, wipe out
the record he had smudged across

not, of course, recall the purchase

tribute it as a conscience fund to
some charity. But he could and

HELP FOR Russ1A's STARVING

The County Committee of the

are making comprehensive plans to
carry out.a relief campaign right af-
ter election, in which grain, money
and clathing will be gathered to aid
the famine stricken Russia. These
relief supplies will be distributed by
the Quakers who have had workers in
the famine area for over a year, and
who were doing relief work in Russia
for three years before that. Christ.

Greater attention than ever before
is being given to athletics in the, Lin
ton schools. Basket ball is engaging
the attention of many of the students,
both boys and girls. This p step
in the right direction. It is good
thing in two ways: First, it helps to
build mp the students physically and
to teach them the elements Of good
sportsmanship. Secondly, it builds up
school esprit de corps" The stu
