This oral and independent story
dovetails in some points with Mr.

the state museum in the old capitol

is as darkness; they know not at
what they stumble One who has
INDUCED in the evil for some time
becomes unconscious of the wicked
ness of that evil. Those who drink
are not aware of their own handi-
cap.
VS.. 20, 21. 'My son, attend to
my words; incline thine ear unto
my sayings. Let them not depart
from thine eyes; keep them in the
midst of thine heart" Life must
be motivated if it is to have any
power, hence words of truth and
power must fill the mind and touch
the tap roots of desire.
V. 22 "For they are life unto
those that find them, and health to
all their flesh" A man of right
eousness regards helpful instruction
and wisdom as most essential to life
and health of soul and body. How
few really care to attend temper
ance meetings today Why?
V. %. keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are the is
sues of life" The word keep means
to guard. There is no effectual
guarding unless God guards. What
the life is will be determined by
what the heart is. The joy Of life
as well as it's success depends upon
what enters the heart. No one can
afford to allow the base desire for
drink if he wants a life worthwhile
V. 6. Therefore let us not sleep
as do others; but let us watch and
be SOBER" Spiritual watchfulness
and sobriety are essential to a good.
ly life.
v. Z. "For they that sleep sleep
in the night; and they that be
drunken are drunken in the night. y
One who is not watchful is not
aware of spiritual danger and acts
as one who knows no better than to
do evil.
V. g. "But let us who are of the
day be sober, putting on the breast
plate of faith and love; and for an
helmet the hope of salvation" One
needs to be spiritually armed with
faith and love and hope.

The Relation of Temperance to
Character, Proverbs 4:1O-23;
Thess. 5:6-S, for Sunday, Aug. IA:
In the Book of Proverbs much is
said of wisdom, especially in the
first three chapters preceding this
lesson. In Gods wisdom there
. comes character. In the study of
this lesson we think Of the general
principles of life that make char
acter and then we think of spe-
it's on character. The temperance
lesson for this quarter as based on
this lesson naturally points TO
liquors debasing effect on char
acter.
v. 10. "Hear, o my son, and re-
ceive my sayings; and the years OF
thy life shall be many This verse
contains the thought of the preced-
ing nine verses. He who observes
words of wisdom will likely have
the longest life.
V. II. Il have taught thee in
the way of wisdom; have led thee
in the right paths The wisdom OF
this verse refers to moral discern
ment and right attitudes. 1t is at
this point where instruction is most
needed which includes the knoWl-
edge of the evil effects of liquor.
V. 12 "When thou goest, thy
steps shall not be straitened; and
when thou runnest, thou shalt not
stumble" The wise person is able
to go on unhindered and unimped-
ed by that which interferes with
ipf
mans progress.
V. IS. Take fast hold of instruc-
ton; let her not go; keep her, for
she is thy life." Here instruction
is considered so important as to be
personified. The advice of a good
mother has saved many a child. No
good mother advises her child to
drink.
V. IA. 'Enter not into the path
of the wicked, and go not in the way
of evil men," 1t is the part of wis
dom to deliberately choose not to
allow an evil habit to the point or
disassociating ourselves from those
who indulge.
V. 16. ''For they sleep not, ex-
cept they have done mischief"
Those who willfully engage in evil
will not rise to the higher level of
moral men and women, but will do
their utmost to drag them to their
level
V. II. "For they eat the bread
of wickedness and drink the wine
of violence Those saturated with
evil will use any means to satisfy
their debased appetites and desires.
The present liquor control system is
failing to control because of wrong
methods. Drinking is disease
which calls for preventatives and
cures.
v. 18. "But the path of the just
is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more to the perfect day.
It is a law of life that walking
righteously becomes easier as one
proceeds.

Character, Proverbs 4:10-23;
Thess. 5:6-S, for Sunday, Aug. IA:
What stand should one take on
the question of social drinking?
How many can you count who
lost control of their lives because
of drink?
What are some of the chief caus-
es of short lives?
What are the benefits of sober
living?
What are some things which in
terfere with sober living and how
overcome them?

origin OF Protestant Denomination

Methodism originated with a
movement started in Oxford Univer-
slty IN 1929 by John and Charles
Wesley and others. The movement
soon became widely known as the
"Methodist Movement"
Modern Baptist bodies trace their
origin to the Protestant reforma-
ton. Early in the 18th century the
first Baptist churches arose in Eng
land.
I h e distinctly PRESBYTERIAN
church of the United States trace
their origin chiefly to Great Brit
ain.
The Lutheran church was found
ed IN 1855 on the principles ex-
pressed by Martin Luther. Luther
anism was introduced into America
by Dutch colonists who settled on
Manhattan Island.
The Disciples of Christ originated
in movement for Christian unity
and reconciliation which arose in
American Baptist and Presbyterian
circles at the beginning of the 10Th
century. The church was formally
established in 1882.
The American Protestant Episco-
pal church was permanently estab-
lished in 1907, when the Rev. Rob
ert Hunt celebrated the Holy Com
munion on May FL on the banks of
the James river in Virginia. How
ever, services of the Church of Eng
land in the American colonies were
conducted much earlier by the
chaplajns carried with various fleets.
Congregationalism is regarded as
an outgrowth of the Separatist
Movement which developed after
the reformation 1t was brought to
America by the Pilgrim Fathers
(162O) who, driven from England
in 1908 had found refuge in Hol-
land.

Trump End.Play

North's three-heart bid was rather
optimistic and in addition Mr.. Harri-
son certainly bid the full strength Of
his hand.
West opened the king Of clubs and
continued with the queen and small
one, which Mr.. Harrison ruffed and
now led his singleton spade. West
ducked. Mr.. Harrison went up with
the king and now looked things over.
In order to make his contract he could
afford to lose but one trump trick.
The normal play. Of course. would be
to lead from the ace of hearts to the
queen and If West had the king he
would lose but one trick in this suit.
However, obviously If West held the
king Of trumps, he would have gone
right up with the ace Of spades.
Therefore Mr.. Harrison realized that
East must have the king. In spite
OF this, the declarer worked out the
following unusual play to make his
contract. He first ruf1ed . spade in
his own hand and led diamond to
dummy's jack, led another spade and
ruffed. cashed the ace Of diamonds.
led a diamond to dummy's king, ruf1ed
another spade In his own hand and
led the thirteenth diamond. West
desperately put up the jack Of hearts,
but 1t did him no good, as Mr.. Har-
rison simply discarded dummy's re-
naming club. Now West led the eight
Of hearts, whereupon Mr.. Harrison
played the nine from dummy, forcing
the king and fulfilling his contract.
Truly magnificently played hand!

Persons On WPA Are Available
For Farm Employment

Persons now employed on WPA
can be made available for farm en-
ployment, according to information
obtained from the office of the WPA.
This policy is effective Immediately, it
was stated.
Any persons wishing to hire a
worker employed on a WPA project,
is asked to contact the foreman and go
to the project and select the persons
he wishes to hire.
According to information obtained
the WPA will terminate the employ
ment of any worker who is offered a
job and who refuses it, unless there
are extenuating circumstances. The
WPA, however, will not release a
worker unless he is offered the pre-
vailing wage for the type of work he
is expected to perform.
The prevailing wage for farm work
will be determined by survey of a
number of farmers throughout the
county, it was stated.
