Christianity of Mr. and Mrs. Wells.
We have heard it said "Some one
always rises to take the place of the
fallen" Allow us to say that those
who take the place of these folks
have a mans and woman's job in
the full sense of the term.
George Dingey of Kansas City
was calling on old friends here last
week, and brought flowers for his
mothers grave in the local ceme-

While we regret the fact that The
Society of Friends is getting so
weak that the meeting house and
grounds of these good people at
Pennsville, can no longer be used
for religious purposes, we are glad
for the big heart of a former resi-
dent, j. w. Embree of Chicago, who
has purchased the grounds and ap-
pointed a park commission and is
financing in a lavish way the trans
formation of the grounds into what
will be one of the most beautiful
parks in the country. The park will
not be for tourists, but for the peo-
pie of Pennsyille and surrounding
communities The old meeting house
will be fixed up for a rest room for
the aged. All in all we are pre-
dieting that this will be monu-
ment to Mr.. Embree which will re
main after marble and brass have
crumbled and fallen.
The protracted meeting continues
at the Christian church. Services
announced for each evening this
week up to and including Sunday.
The ordinance of baptism will be
administered after the close of the
services.

While we are always glad to sell
you fruit trees, shrubbery, flowers
and so on, we have always felt
there are other companies and
agents just as honest-but take
this advice from one who has heard
the wall of many victims, buy from
someone you know or whose refer
ences are known to you
| In behalf of Rural Dale folks. we
want to thank the good people of
Chesterhill and surrounding com
munities for their presence at the
show May 27. Your scribe staid and
canvassed and visited in the village
Thursday. We heard nothing but
words of appreciation of the play
II you ever get a chance, hear them
In our conversation with our
Presbyterian church friends, we are
convinced there will be no division
Of the church in Morgan county.
Somehow it seems to us the mod
ernists are forcing Jesus Christ out
of the church. If man isn't an
infdel, atheist and 50 on, before
he starts through theological col
lege, he will have to have his chains
on with the tighteners adjusted. if
he doesn't slip Thirdly-church
papers used to be printed for the
benefit Of the readers; today they
are printed as a money proposition
| Please remember this is our column.
We are expressing our belief, not
necessarily the belief of the editor,
Our job with this paper ends when
We can't do that. If You want to
take exceptions to any of our re-
marks, remember they come from
Meigs, Star route.
While the Meigs church is wit
hn
years, yet we can count 40 who do
not belong to the church, who
naturally would unite here if any
where, besides quite number who
are not throwing much dust by their
fast running in the Christian race
Just on an average with other com
munities many Of them prac-
tice what some folks preach and
fail to practice. Many churches are
being closed, not on account of a
lack of people-but lack of Chris
