man, until the Son Of man be risen

secret of his presence. There are
Christian experiences too sacred to
be publicly cast abroad Such ex-
periences might not be understood
by others.
come to the multitude, there came
to him certain man, kneeling
down to him, and saying, Lord, have
mercy on my son; for he is a luna
tic, and sore vexed; for ofttimes he
falleth into the fire, and oft into
the water There was work to do
down in the valley. A deranged
child needed treatment. The fathers
approach brought divine attention.
When you hear one pray for mercy
you know there is sincerity and ear
nestness
v. 16. "And I brought him to
thy disciples ad they could not cure
him. There are so many social
and economic problems today that
call for treatment and cures to
which the church ought to give at
tention. The world needs a cure for
war. Christ commissioned the church
to go into all the world with his gos
pei, the cure of all international
difficulties.
V. II. ''Then Jesus answered and
said, o faithless and perverse gen
Grafton. how long shall I be with
you? How long shall I suffer you?
Bring him hither to me-" Not only
the disciples but the Scribes and
Pharisees were included in this re-
buke. There is no impossible case
for the Lord, who now calls for this
son with strangled soul.
V. 49, "And Jesus rebuked the
devil; and he departed out of him; !;
and the child was cured from that
very hour" This was an amazing
miracle which can not be explained
on naturalistic grounds. Transfer
nation of character brought about
by Christ today is the miracle OF
miracles.

Meigs

If you have never hunted for a
date, you won't appreciate the fact
that we have for several years been
trying to make our writing of births
and deaths record-thus, died Dec
II, 1888, rather than died Thursday
OF last week, and buried Saturday
afternoon
We called on Mandy Smith Mon
day. We find the Jenkins, her ma
ternal grandparents came from
Wales. Her grandfather was born
six weeks after his parents arrived
stay there, they came direct to Nor
gan county. AT one time the Jen-
kins' name was borne by many in
Bristol, but today only L. T., his
wife Ora, their son, Carlton, and
daughter Winifred, claim the name
We also called on Mr. and Mrs
George Roberts and at the Perl Lin
dimore home We found Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts-(we wanted to say
George and Ib) in their usual
health. Perl was out in the country
helping butcher. If it wasn't for
the color of Alma's hair we would
say she is younger than Perl-but
we have to be careful what we say
in ink

whatever the joys we want to share.
and whatever sorrows, give us grace
to bear.
The last day of the old year was
sad for Dean Wogan, who lives in
the Garner Dickinson tenant house.
He received word of the death OF his
father who lived near Chesterhill.
The series of evangelistic meet
ings held here by the pastor, Rev.
w. S. Mowery, and ably assisted by
Rev. F. B. Gilhousen, of Byesville,
closed New Years night with some
accessions. AS long as we can re-
member, it has been the custom and
expectation of most church people
to have the minister preach two
weeks, use UP lot of his sermons,
exhaust his energy before re-
vival is expected to start. Every
man and woman within the sound Of
any church bell today knows what
they ought to do. If there is h.,
Hades, and we're taught there is
if not, we think there ought to be,
yet, SO far as we know, not per-
son expects to go there. But We
didn't start out to preach, argue, or
exhort. However, we do not think
any revival effort is lost, or ends in
defeat. But for some reason, they
90 not measure up to our expecta-
tions. Perhaps it is because we do
not lend as strong hand as we
should. Not as many members OBJ
tanned, not as many heads of fam
lilies converted not as many back
sliders reclaimed, not as much hos
tility and animosity, Eyes these are
in the church where such things
are not supposed to be-, patched, or
healed up and forgotten, not many
habitual drinkers, who may become
confirmed drunkards, rescued, and
yet the conditions in this country
are the worst we have ever known.
The Roman Empire fell,-and so
will we. The revival just closed is,
as we are told, the beginning of a
religious campaign, working on a
new plan, and is called the enlist
ment crusade. Will it catch fish?
Here's hoping it will. While on this
subject of revivals, and knowing
that people in general think there
must be a certain amount of excite
ment, attend such meetings before
any results can follow. We might
say that one of the services here
bore all the ear-marks of high
pitched excitement even if it was
lacking somewhat of religious fer
vor. 1t was not the glory like
cloud, that filled the house, as was
| manifest at the dedication Of Sol
omon's Temple, neither were the
worshipers like the Apostle Paul,
said of the Romans, "having zeal
but not according to their knowl-
edge,'' for in this particular case
their knowledge was fully equal to
their zeal as they knew at once
how to act and to act quickly when
the big hot Burnside stove toppled
over and the old rusty pipe came
tumbling after and fire and conster-
nation, smoke and exclamation, Hal
lelujah and glory and Rora ",

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 16.-
The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, whose forefathers fought
in the War Between the States,
heaped rebuke today upon Winston
Churchill, first lord of the British
admiralty.
Mrs. Walter y. Lamar of Macon,
Ca, president general of the U. D.
c., referred to "the gratuitous in
suit" contained in a recent speech
by Churchill.
She quoted Churchill as saying:
Britain may take good heart
from the American Civil War when
all the heroism of the South could
not redeem their cause from the
stain of slavery, just as all the
courage and skill, which the Ger
mans show in war, will not free
them from the reproach of Naziism
with its intolerance and brutality u
That insult" Mrs. Lamar said
yesterday before the U. D. G. Con-
vention, Ito the best part of Amer
lea shows both ignorance and STU
pidity; ignorance of historical facts
and stupidity in that it antagonizes
a large part of the country he would
least desire to anger. by comparing
the Southern States with Hitler and
his policies"
Copies of Mrs. Lamar's speech
will be sent to Churchill and Lord
Tweedsmuir, Governor General o1
