ARTISAN WE'LL <
 TO SUPPLY CITY
Fort Payne's Fear Of Shortage
 Allayed By Water Company

FORT PAYNE, Ala, Nov. 29.- (Snecial. )-The Fort Payne Water con3bany has consumated real estate deal whereby they have become own CTS of what was originally known as the old Fort Payne Furnace company property, the vendor in the transaction being H. NJ. Lyons of this city. The real purpose of the purchase by the water company is the presence of an artesian we'll on the property. This well was drilled in the boom days of the nineties, when big blast fur race was erected and the deep flowing well was needed to furnish water for the big enterprise. ,:1
 It is said that the well is about 1000 feet, being ten inches in diameter, and having. an almost inexhustible sup ply of aqua pura. The purchase of this property at this time is due to the fact that the prevailing drouth has caused no little inconvenience and fear among the people that water famine here might become imminent at any time. With this auxiliary supply from this artesian we'll it is the opinion of experts that the water supply pro. blem for the city of Fort Payne has been solved for many years to come.
 The railroads have been greatly incon- venienced for some weeks as trains were denied water However the big spring which has been the source of supply for all these years, has never run dry.
 Work on the artesian we'll is now under way, and before long it is ex- pected that tile proper machinery will be installed and the additional water supply will be pumped into the big reservoir for the people and the indus tries of the city.

DIR. NJ. B. Hyde, pastor of Grace NJ.
E. Church, in his sermon Sunday on
THE Cost of Religion" said.
There are at least three elements
which determine values. Not only
the time spent in production, but
the period of time in which the arti-
Gle was produced.
THE place and conditions are de-
termining factors. In speaking, how
ever, of the cost of religion, we are
not thinking in terms of dollars and
cents. though religion has great
commercial value, which is recog-
niZed by all who think. and all
should share in proportion to their
ability in the financial support of
the causes of religion in the COM
munity.
THE great cost is in the moral
nerve required. In the light of com
munity needs and world needs there
is here tremendous challenge. The
Savior set it out under the head of
the pearl of great price. the su-
preme thing to be sought. Paul

TEACH CHILDREN
GOOD MANNERS.
SAYS PASTOR
Rev. FackIer, in Sermon,
Urges Parents to Set
Good Example,

Every one of US have that much
respect for ourselves that we want
to conduct ourselves properly" Rev.
L. c. Fackler of St Matthew Evan
gelicaI Lutheran Church said Sunday
in a sermon.
See that you teach your children
manners and insist that they OBJ
serve the teaching" he advised.
Many times we are puzzled about
what is the right thing to say and do.
This same condition confrOnts
every Christian. There is not one
that is gifted with knowledge and
insight that he will at once know
what to do. Through SHINING we
have lost the image of God. We do
not possess that original righteous
ness and holiness. Now we are puz-
zIed concerning the proper attitude
that We ought to take toward the
continually arising conditions. For
that reason the Lord tells US, not
only in this text, but throughout the
entire Scriptures, concerning a Chris
tian's attitude.
First of all, a Christian should be
properly deposed toward himself.
THAT may seem odd that We need
to be taught how to deal with our
selves. but that, too, is necessary.
You have heard people say that they
did not care what happened to them
selves. Such have lost all respect
for themselves. Such are danger
=
Look at Yourself
Look at your position and condi-
ton. You are the dearly beloved of
God the Father, who has made you
His own. He loved you to the great
extent that He sent the Holy Spirit,
who is trying to sanctify and keep
you in the true faith.
You are beloved of man, who has
respect for you. Your actions have
a bearing on society and the lives of
others.
''Of all sins there is none more in
furious to the soul than f1eshly lusts,
carnaI appetites, lewdness, sensual
ties. An adulterer who is stepped in
sin says: What is the use or caring
for myself? That is the way Of one
who has no Christian respect in his
soul for himself. What is your at
titude toward yourself? Your soul?
By the power of God keeping your
selves unspotted before the world
If we free ourselves from the
power and guidance Of God, we are
no longer free in the glorious liberty
of God. but slaves unto the devil,
who seeks our curse.
What is your attitude toward
Cod? Are you obedient as a child
of God, fearing God, believing God,
obeying God. worshipping God? Then
you may enjoy the eternal liberty OF
God in Christ Jesus our Lord" the
