l am taking this public means Of
asking all my friends and cooperators
to please not call on me for any

Yesterday a large number of far
mers asked me for information and
requested small favors, none of which
would require much time, but all Of

> METHODIST NOTES

Two hundred and ninety six were
present last Sunday at the church
school, and large audiences were pre-
sent at both preaching services. The
writer does not mean to boast about
figures, but the church cannot grow
without attendance, therefore figures
do mean a sign of growth. The church
schools of the town are reporting
good attendance which means growth
all the way around. Let's not forget
our slogan: "Boone at Sunday School
every Sunday"
The Presiding Elder Rev. Seymour
Taylor, preached to large congre-
cation Sunday morning. Quite a mum
Der of churchmen from other denom-
nations were present, which fact is
appreciated, to hear the Presiding
Elder. Brother Taylor measured
up to his usual forcefulness in pre-
senting the truth.
Mr.. J. H. Toylor, one of the best
men in this country and who was
known by everyone to be a good man
died Sunday and was buried Monday
afternoon at Fairview Methodist
Church. He left no millions to give
to the world, but he left good name

grand children and great grand-chil-
dren that has no equal in the know
ledge of the writer.
Boone is popular place for prea-
chers and their families. | have found
six or seven preachers of my own
denomination about here for real rest
and sightseeing, and several of 9TH

or five other Methodist preachers who
will come to stay for a short while.
All Of my knowledge are married,
so | can't contribute their coming to

DR.. HINOHARA SAYS JAPS HAVE
DOFFED MILITARY ATTIRE

Lake Junaluska, Aug. 3.-Japan
has DOTTED her military attire with
Yper militaristic spirit in favor of
>citizens' clothes and desire for un-
iversal peace; even the children have
stopped playing with toy soldiers,
and trumpets and other miniature
symbols of war, and young men and
women have stopped singing warlike
songs.
This in substance, was the declara
ton made to several thousand peo-
pie here, by the Rev. H. Hinohara,
in an address lauding the Christian
religion and its contributions to ia
pan. One of the greatest benefits
that has come to his nation through
Christian influence, he declared, was
the changed attitude of his people
/ toward war. Heretofore, Japanese
Christians have been prosecuted when
they preached the doctrine of peace
but now the attitude of the average
Japanese is in favor of the spirit of
peace and universal brotherhood.
The recent world war was national
lesson. The Japanese, although par
ticipating in the war, were so far
removed from the seat of the fight
ing that they were able to read the
rapidly transmitted news with rea-
soning minds. They could find no
reason to fight each other with such
destruction of life and property. 1t
left them as cool as ice."

Methodist Episcopal Church in Kobe

manager says that with experienced
help enough to run to capacity there
is no reason why the mills should
not be paying proposition here, but
it seems that they are unable to pro-
cure it. Of course the town is very
sorry to have this enterprise leave
but the owners cannot continue to
operate on non paying basis.
