PASTOR SAYS MORE
RELIGION NEEDED
IN u. S. CONGRESS
Rev, MearS Makes Plea to
Take Sin Out of All
Business.

1T is seIf-evident that our Congress
at Washington needs more of the old
fashioned religion If we are to judge
from the reports" the Rev. Charles
c. Means, pastor Of the Rainbow
Ridge Baptist Church. said Sunday
in preaching on THE Soul Life Of
America
He named the twenty-one separate
investigations and inquiries that are
now in progress in Washington. He
said there were thirteen in the, Sen
ate and eight in the House.
There has not been" he said. "a
time in the history of our nation that
as many Investigations and probes
have been in progress at any one
time than at this moment. No won
der, I say that Jesus Christ is the
greatest need of America now. 1t Is
the truth. It cannot be disputed.
The Need of More Religion
WHAT our national and domestic
life needs most is more religion. More
Of the religion Of our mothers is need
ed everywhere, from the halls Of
Congress at Washington down the
line 10 the very smallest business en-
terprise More religion is needed in
the store. in the factory. in the shop,
I'm the office. in politics, in fact. more
religion is needed in every phase OF
the American life.
1T is one thing to talk about plans
and politics. but plan or policy with
out a religious motive is like a watch
without a handspring As I view it.
one OF the greatest needs as some
would say. but as I say. the greatest
need in America today is Jesus Christ.
Too many folk are trying to hatch
chickens with sterile eggs. America
should pay more attention to the
real germ OF life-the Soul life OF
the country What would it profit
America if she gained the whole
world and Est her own soul in the
process?"
Take "Sin" Out of Business
America should take the sin out
of business. Have YOU ever realized
that the word sin occurs in the mid
die Of the word business The peO-
pie of thtis great Nation need to re
turn to the ideals of business life that
Abraham Lincoln had. It is said that
Lincoln made a intake one time in
Weighing some tea. 4 customer called
for pound Of tea and Lincoln gave
him one-half pound instead and
charged him for one pound That
uirhf aS the storv eroeS 7 lincoln
walked several miles to deliver the
other half pound OF tea. Oh. for
more men like this good man in the
grocery business, yea in all kinds Of
businesses and professions. ne said.

WORST FORM OF
INDIGESTION
Disappeared Under the Fruit
Treatment aFuit-a-tiyeS"

People are often amazed when they
hear OF a case like Mrs. Hammond's.
Yet it is the most natural thing in the
world to eat plenty of fruit for Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia and otherstomach
troubles-and to try and overcome
Constipation and Biliousness by
eating figs and prunes.
"Fruit-a-tives -, made of the inten-
sified juices of apples, oranges, figs
and pruhes combined with tonics, will
relieve stomach and bowel troubles.
Mrs Z. G. Hammond, 2lS Sykes St.,
