WORD FROM IREV. A. M. SIM-.
MONS CONCERNING UNION
MEETINfGS.
I see that we have five fifth Sun
*uys in this year, and that will give
five union meetings if we have
'e every flfth Sunday.
'9As I talk to our brethren about the
union meetings it seems that none of
mr churches are anxious- to invite It
'" meet with them, 'and when I 'ask
?1o reason why, they say it has get.
the meetings are not intereting to
:de people, as the: sole purpose seems
obe "muoney," and it seems'that we
live left Christ and Him crucified
"it of outr work and gone after the
rods of Baal. And I am obliged to1
ocknowledge that it is so, I mean too<
tr~uch so.
Of course we know that it takes I
ooney to finance the Lord's 'work,
but 'I feel like It is time for us toj 1
'ake a change, and I will suggest a I
ogram fr- (r commIttep. to conl
A Visit Fronri o1
"Well," remarked the eminent Col
mel J. Wallington Potts, as he wiped
he mud off of- his shoes on our im
)orted Brussels carpet, eased himself
nto .that handsome chair reserved
'or the most distinguished visitors
nly, leaned back and lighted one of
)Ur $1.25 gold-lined Havanas, "I see
;hey are going to send all the likker
nakers, sellers and drinkers to jail,
tad not let them pay out. What do
rou think of it?" 6' ~ M
"Well," we replied, "we :been so
>usy trying to make enough coin to
ay our past due taxes that we haven't
od time to think about it.- Whit
. you think about it?"
"I '+ nk,'- said the Colonel as he
lIed the air full of high priced f ra
rance, "it's a damn poor plug.
.hcse here luke-warm prohibitionists
ire too kind-hea Y! they aIr: too
>roadmin(dod and eas'y, they take half
way measures -and k don't; go far
mough. I have thought this thing
:ver and have evolved an ideal plan
f settling a perplexing problem. No
ran who makes likker, sells likker,
:oted likker, drinks likker, or who
ooks like he wants a drink of the
lamnable delight of the devil should
be allowed to breathe the sac-red air
of this religious nation. He should
be shot and shot foi'thwith."
"But, Colonel-"
"Don't 'but' me," retorted 'J. Wall
ington, digging the point of.our $47.80
fountain pen into the table; "I know
what you are going. to say; but I
tell you I've got it all figured out
and my plan will work. pf will empty
vur jails, asylums, jpor houses and
reformatories, reduce our court ex
penses to nothing, and fill our public
treasury so full of money that we
wvill have to find new ways to spend
it. It will le'ngthen the lives of our
people to' such an extent that when
I person (lies under 200 years of age
he papers will refer to iG as an
untimeily death.'
"I admit it will decrease the pop
dtticn considerably, but it will re
m'C ye only those heathen who (o not
aigree with us and who are unlit as
4oint's fo. us best people, and will
make this. portion of the old terres
tial sphere a fairly decent place to
dwell. My plan will absolutely stamp
out the demon rum, sometimes re
ferred to by the lower class as John
Barleycorn, and will therefore have
the support of all the best people.
"I know you are thinkin'. that no
jury would condeni to death a per:.
Imenee at ten o'clok with song and
prayer sc'vice and lhave one. hour of
spiritual service led by some spirit
filled man who can tell 'the peopl(
w'hat the Lord has done for his poor~
ioul and who is not ashamed to tell
he poor' sinner that he wants him to
enve the ways of sin -azd come to
Thr-ist. Then at the 11 o'clock hour
eht us have ani old 'time gospel ser
non by sonme man- filled, with the
pirit. Then give abl the afternoon
f~ that dlay to the dliscussion of the
est way for the Lord'i feople to
nance His cause. Sun'dtay morning
it us meeot ot ten o'cleck 'for song
ud prayer service led by sonme spirit..
lIed man for an hour, and at 11
'clock have a sermon by the pastor
f the .hurch where the meeting is
eld. My reason for this' is that
great many times-'we haves a'miss
mary sermon by som~e man from far
way and the sole object of his ser..
non seems to be money. The peo

IHE IS "FUILL 0F

Why is a girl popiubir? Look around

seek themi out and ask themi to parties,

notice that it is not the doll-face

nill simply take Gude's Pepto Mangaq
mntil she has put her blood in goi

iappiness.
Try Gude's Pepto-Mangan and see
mow much better you feel. Doctors

J. Wallington Potts
son found with a small amount of
likker for his own use, but right here
is where one of the beauties: of any
thoroughly~ through-out plan. comes
in. On'- of the weak points: i-this
other proposed plan is that few juries
would send to the chaingang an
otherwise half-decent citizen just
because he had a small phial of the
essence of home-made fertilizer on
his hip. Under my plan the culptit
would never get to a jury. Trials
are -a useless expense, anyw&y, and
undeir the jury system some guilty
devil might escape his just deserts.
A jury might argue that anybody
who drinks the kind made these days
ought to be in the asylum instead
of on the chaingang.
"All officers being the very high
est type of citizenship, as you well
know, under mny plan they would be
I empowered to shoot, or otherwise
execute, any person found or sus
peeted of making, selling, toting,
drinking, or asking about the afore
said damnable delight of the devil,
cr-mmonly called likker. And any
person so executed would be auto
matically fined $100 for the county,
$200 for the. state, $300 for the Unit
ed States, and if executed in 'town
$100 for the town, and. the executing
officers should receive one-half the
fines so as to make it unnecessary
for him to execute more than one
person a week to make expenses.
"I tell you, man, I've studied it
all out and ,it will work. Put this
plan to working and we, will clean
out all the undesirable trash and us
better class of people will have some
peace and a chance to maintain our
dignity. What do you think of it.?
"Why, Colonel," we replied, "you
know we couldn't have any such law
I as that; it would violate the consti
tution.''
"Constitution!" roared the Col
onel, jumping up and banging the
table with such force that a piece
of plastering fell from the wall;
"what the h are you talking
about-the frigate,. Constitution or
the Atlanta Constitution ?"
"The Constitution of the United
States," we meekly replied.
"Another one gone wrong," mut
tercd Colonel Potts as he walked
over to our platinum plated telephone
and called for a certain number;
"Say, officer," he said, "sweep out
padded cell No. 17; I've. got a man
here who thinks the Constitution of
the United States is still in force."
