CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP.

We feel confident that all who
earnestly desire to aid in the further
ing Of the Kingdom heard with de-
li0th Of the meeting held by the
women of the four Protestant
churches Of Charles Town, for the
purpose of mutual helpfulness and
better fitting themselves for service.
It is the best evidence of progress
in the churches of Jefferson. County
that the writer has ever heard Of.
More power to them.
This however, has given the writer
an idea, something which he rarely
has. Why not have a like meeting
of all the churches in the county,
represented by both clergy and lay
members. to be held in one Of the
churches, or at new time picnic, a
meeting where sincere fraternalism.
hearty handshakes, sweet songs,
short talks and big lunches would be
distinctive feature, where the. spirit
of unity would be practiced and that
of tolerance upheld, as essentials in
the make up of the victorious life
and triumphant church.
A meeting that would be helpful
to those of us who would wake up to
the fact that our own denomination
is not the only apple on the market.
That there are other people, who
live. move and have their being. A
meeting where the effort would be
not only to overthrow the forces of
evil, but to strengthen the powers of
good. To not merely destroy the
Citadel of Satan. but to build up the
walls of Zion.
Possibly the good Citizen League
will undertake to engineer this
movement, and they are competent
to do so, and are anxious to do
good work No, the writer is not a
member Of this organization, but just
an ordinary, sinful

CRIME TO MOVE AUTO.

Under the existing law of this
state, it is felony for any person to
move an automobile from the point
where it was left by its owner or
legal custodian to any other spot
with the purpose of depriving the
owner of its use
Formerly the law made it nessary
to show that the taking of an automo
bile was for the purpose of convert
ing it to the use and benefit of the
taker, and it was difficult to deal with
persons of the "joy rider" class who
took cars temporarily and abandon
ed them after a time. The amend
ed statute strikes directly at this
class and makes the offense a felony,
punishable by from two to ten
years in the pen.
