"shingle" together in Johnson City as
the la wfirm of Taylor & Burrow. As
young men with a promising future be
fore them Bob Taylor and Robert Bur

friendships that Senator Tay'.or enjoy-!
ed until his death and that are still
cherished.by Judge Burrow. '

DON'T DELAY
Some Cookeville People Have Learned
That Neglect is Dangerous.
The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked. It's the small, ' ' neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney uilments. That pain in the
"small" of your back;' that urinary ir
regularity; those headaches and diz
zy spells; that weak, weary, worn-out
feeling, may bo nature's warning of
kidney weakness! Why risk your life
by neglecting those symptoms? Reach
the cause of the trouble, while there
yet Ms time begin treating youi kid
neys at once with a tried and proven
kidney remedy. No need to experi
ment Doan's Kidney Pills have been
successfully use ' in thousands of cases
of kidney trouble for over 50 years.
Doan's Kidney Pills are used and rec
ommended throughout the civilized
world. Convincing testimony follows :
Rev. D. P. Hart, Dowelltown, Tenn.,
says: "I was troubled for .years by
disordered kidneys. I had such terri
ble pain in the small of my back that
1 couldn't rest well. The kidney se
cretions were irregular in passage, be
ing scant at times, then again profuse.
Doan's Kidney Pills Wire finally brou
ght to my attention and I began using
them. They soon relieved me and con
tinued use benefitted me in every way.

impulses for godly living. From the
Sabbath school altars are coming the
men and women who are to mould and
shape the des'inieg of the nations of
this world. By far the larger per cent
of those coming into the church today
are trained up in the Sabbath school.
It is the church school,- and ' the
church's strongest auxiliary. No oth
er religious institution has ever been
planted in so many destitute places.
and served so well as an entering
wedge for larger tbigs. No other re
ligious institution has ever touched so
many young live3 and quickened them
into forces for the building up of God's
kingdom. How awful tho cr.'me of any
who will impede the progress of this
God-honoring, soul-saving institution.
Strange, indeed, that there are pro
fessed friends of the Sabbath school
who prove to be its active enemies.
There is a prevailing custom in this
section that has destroyed more Sab
bath schools and decoyed more people
away from 'the stud yof God's word
than any other influence the devil has
yet Invented. I refer to the Sunday
decoration and the Sunday all-day
s'nging. This custom Is all the more
dangerous because it poses as a very
pious affair. Why, they sing songs of
praise to God and decorate the graves
oi iovea ones, oesiaes tney nave a
speech or sermon on the occasion.
Yes, and the "dinner on the ground"
you promise the public and the other
attractions connected thereiwth serve
to decoy the unthinking and careless
ones away from the Sabbath school
Sunday after Sunday, until they lose
a if interest or break the habit of going
to Sabbath school, and as .a result
many of the schools are destroyed or
so crippled in their work that little
good is accomplished. A little obser
vation will convince any one, with in
telligence, that 'here is an all-day sing
ing or Sunday decoration in reach of
almost, if not every. Sabbath school in
this section throughout most of the
year. From early spring to late fall
there Is a class of people who race
from place to place Sunday after Sun
day in search for the loaves and fishes.
or to see the crowd and be seen. The
remainder of the year the roads are
rough, the weather bad and they re
main at home. So these people (and
they are many) are lost t othe church
and Sabbath school. Ridiculous as it
may sound, it is frequently the case
that the officers and teachers of the
Sabbath schools leave their post of
duty and follow the crowd. Sometimes
the pastors will "call in" their appoint
ments for these things and deliver the
whole thign over to the devil. Satan
has had many thousands of years ex
perience fishing for Adam's fallen chil
dren and he knows just how to bait his
hook. So he contrives to have some
"jack-leg preacher" or some old brok
en down public speaker, who can't get
a crowd any other way, to go over and
Bugarcoat the performance, or flavor it
ace which he piously calls
religion, ,
I concede there may be some who go
to worship God in song or to plant
flowers on a grave in loving memory of
friends departed; but who has any
right to steal God's day for a decora
tion just to save a week day? Who
has any right to rob God's church of
her school even though it be to sing
good songs? Can we not sng these
same songs around the Sabbath school
altar just as acceptably to our God?
Why select the Sabbath school hour
for such a spread on, and invite the
whole country to leave the post of duty
to revel in these things? Why not
have the singing or decoration on
some other day and thus add to in
stead of subtract from the church of
God? But do you say they won't
come on a week day? Then the heart
is not n it and it would be best left
off. , Truly yours. Fount Smith.
