growing this crop is quite an exten

four acres the latter part of Febru

Up to this time they have harvested

splendid new thoroughfare should in
spire our people to modernize other
highways in the country-but let's
do it on a less expensive scale.

has also been a steady increase in the
interest taken in the services. Mr.

close to the people, never driving
them away by abuse and severe crit
icism. As a choir leader Mr. Jenkins
makes the services pleasing and ef
fective. The meeting is reaching all
ages and all classes. Friday morning
a special service will be held for the
old people of the community. Satur
day afternoon the tent will be given
over to a service for.the colored peo
ple by Mr. Bridgers;

THE WORLD'S BIBLE.
Annie Johnson Flint
Christ has no hands but our hands,
To do his work to-day; .
He has no feet but our feet
To lead men in his way;
He has no tongues but our tongues,
To tell men how he died;
He has no help* but our help,
To bring them to His side.
We are the only Bible
The careless world will read;
We are the sinner's gospel,
, We are the s?offer's creed;
We are the Lord's last message,
Given in deed and word;
What if the type is crooked
What if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy
With other work t?an His?
What if our feet are walking
Where sin's allurement is?
What if our tongues are speaking
Of things His lips would spurn?
How can we hope to help Him
And hasten His return?
Father And Son.
Edgar A. Guest.
Be more than his dad,
Be a chum to the lad;
Be a part of his life
Every hour of the day;
Find time to talk with him,
Take time to walk with'him,
Share in his studies
And share his play; '
Take him to places,
To ball games and races,
Teach him the things
That you want him to know;
Don't live apart from him,
Don't keep your heart from him,
Be his best comrade,
He's needing you so!
Never neglect him,
Though young, still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride;
Show him his error,
But be not a terror,
Grim visaged and fearful,
When he's at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It's easy to learn to
Be such a father
That when troubles gather
You'll be the first one
For council he'll turn to.
You can inspire him
With courage, and fire him
Hot with ambition
For deeds that are good;
He'll not betray you
Nor illy betray you,
If you have taught him
The things that you should.
Father and son
Must in all things be one
Partners in trouble
And comrades in joy.
More than a dad
Was the best pal you had;
Be such a chum
As you knew, to your boy.

farmers with tired teams worrying about

better plowing job but for one that showa
greater accomplishment at a less cost
