Mississippi's Wealth.

One of the most inspiring lectures
on the American platform il Russo
ii. COnweH's Acres of Diamonds.
He tells how the owner of certain
parcel of land became restless and
dissatisfied and wanted to get rich
by finding diamonds. and of course,
never thought to look on his own
place. He cold his little farm and
went off to a far country to hunt
diamonds. In a short while the
richest diamond field the world has
eyer known was found on the little
farm this diamond hunter had sold
when he started out to hunt dia-
monds He tells about the man
who sold his place and went and
invested in oil prospects and later
the farm he sold became the center
OF a great oil field. He tells how a
man In one of the northern states
sold his place out and went west TO
work in the silver mines and soon
thereafter silver was discovered on
the place he left. His application
L.. That we often have acres of dia-
monds and don't know it. This
brings us to the point of reproducing
an editorial that recently appeared |
in the Neshoba Democrat and is as
follows:
Not mauy weeks ago we over
heard conversation between a Mis- |
sissippian and an Albanian in a |
smoker. The Mississippian was
complaining over the fact that Mis-
sissippi had no natural resources
when compared with Alabama, and |
that the Lord had distributed His
wealth a little bit unfairly. The
Albanian answered: My dear
friend, you are very much mistaken.
You are looking for your diamonds
in the sky. while they are scattered
under your feet Mississippi, too.
has natural wealth. And he took
from his pocket a portfolio fat with
papers. and said that it contained
leases to valuable deposits of min
eral that would be used if Ford came
to Muscle Shoals. and that the min
eral be referred to was in Mississippi.
And is it not strange that men
leave Mississippi looking for dia
monds in the sky, when a little
scratching under their feet might
uncover acres of diamonds.
Now, we may not have literal
diamonds by the acres in Missis-
sippi but we have many advantages
and resources that we may turn to
our own advantages in way that
will enable us to own our diamonds
and many other things if we but
take advantage of the golden oppor-
tunities that are fitting by every
hour of the day.-Ripley Sentinel.

Methodist Sunday School.

And a little child shall lead
them ''-the truth of this was again
confirmed in the program given by
the primary department in our Sun
day School Sunday. March 18th.
About 200 were present, and every
one who voiced an opinion, said it
was decidedly the most impressive
program that had been given. The
numbers were called by member of
this department which consisted of
songs, recitatiOns. an orchestra Sc
lection, Bible readings and three
prayers which were offered by three
of the little girls The way in which
each of these little girls offered her
prayer seemed especially to impress
each one and those who missed a
single number of this entire program
have most surely missed something
worth while.
Don't let another opportunity
pass unnoticed. We haye pro-
gram each Sunday morning. Ten
visitors were with us last Sunday.
We hope that many more will be
with us next Sunday, we are always
glad to have you. Mrs. Jim Shells
class will have charge next Sunday
We are looking forward with pleas
ure to bigger and better things in
the future. We are working togeth-
er in the same great cause. Your
part may be small or it may be
large, but you can at least aid with
your presence at $3.50 next Sunday
morning. We will be looking for
you. Don't disappoint us, and don't
miss another such program as we
had last Sunday.
