several months, is at home now en-

Saturday night but was able to be

Uncle Johnnie Densten is booming
the Sunday school at this place. He
is distributing testaments to all those
who will, in public and before him,
repeat three scripture verses. Those
who have received testaments so far
as we know, are: Isabel Golf, Verna
Adkins, Lunta Golf, Anon Adkins,
Lola Mae Golf and Elmer Adkins.
We notice that no adults have offered
to come forth and recite their three
verses and claim a testament. The
testaments are bound in red material
and knowing the animus of all Chris
tians against the socialistic doctrine
of Jesus Christ, we presume that to
be one of the reasons they do not
strive to possess themselves of one of
Uncle Johnnie's testaments.

to judge whether it was in season

CHURCH
ANNOYING

First Baptist Church-Rev. w. N.
Swain, pastor.
Two good audiences greeted the
pastor of the Baptist church at both
services last Sunday, the church au-
.ditorium being almost filled to it's
capacity. At the morning service the
pastor spoke on prayer and at the
evening service on future punish
ment. A free-will Offering was taken
at each service to help equip our
Florida Baptist children's home at
Arcadia with modern steam laundry
plant and building. About $40 was
realized for this most worthy cause.
There will be no preaching service
at the Baptist church next Sunday
morning, owing to the pastor being
away filling an engagement at the
fifth Sunday meeting of the Peace
River Association which meets with
the Baptist church at Gardner.
Sunday evening there will be given
the regular monthly sacred concert
at 1850 o'clock by the direction of
Mrs. j. H. Topper under the auspices
of the Woman's Missionary Union.
BY special request one of the songs
rendered by the choir at the last con-
cert and the ladies quartet will be
repeated Sunday evening. The full
