MAIL TRAIN SERVICE
FROM NASHVILLE
Lions Club Making an Effort for
Another Nashville Train.
At t meeting of the Lions Club
last Tuesday Messrs. Claude Walker,
Bob Isler and Percy Jones, of Hick
man, were present as guests of. the
club in the interest of anextension
of service on the N C. & St. L. Rail
way, from Nashville to Unipn City
and Hickman.
Before the war the night; train
on the Hickman branch of the N., C
& St. L. Ry. was discontinued. Re
peated efforts sfnee the war nave
been made to restore the service
without reeults.
Mr. Clem Burdick is chairman of
a committee who have been working
thru the Lions Club to reach the of
ficials of the road to get a bearing
on this matter. The officials have
always been kindly disposed and
thoroly courteous, but declined for
the reason that the service requested
could not be granted on the grounds
that it would entail financial loss to
the road.
At the meeting last Tuesday it
was proposed to organize all of the
towns along the oad west of Hollow
Rock affected by this service and
with a systematic effort seek out and
' assemble proof of existing and pros

It was while Dr. Hughes was en
gaged some years ago in his late
work that he heard the call from the
a serv
ant of the Lord.
The Baptl3t Church was crowded
last Sunday morning to hear the
evangelist, a former citizen and well
known by his many friend's as Ship
ter Hughes.
The subject of the text was "The
Call of tho Age3." Dr. Hughes was
introduced by the pastor, scev. Mc
Gehee, and he proceeded with a per
sonal reference to the effect that he
left Union City a servant or the devil
and returns a servant of God. He
spoke of his conviction and conver
sion without reserve saying that God
had always been with him and that
many of the temptations with which
he was beset had boon entirely re
moved. '
Beginning with the text, Dr,
Hughes quoted that Samuel had mis
understood the call of God for the
call of El, and that Samuel appeared
before Eli three times before he real
ized that God had called him. And
after he had received God's message
Samuel was afraid to tell his friend,
Eli, because Eli had two sons who
had defiled the temple of God. But
he did take God's message to Eli, and
the motive behind this act was in
spired by God andnot by man.
The sin of the world is the call of
the world and not the call of God.
Men are not saved until they put
aside the call of men and listen to
the call of God.
The churches are filled with the
creeds of men and the denominatlon-
lism of creed and not of Christ is
the curce of the age.
Not that we do not need the
churches, God knows that we need
them moro than we ever did, but we
need Christ before we do creed.
There lo only one salvation and that
is faith in God thru the blood which
flowed from the side of Jesus on the
Cross.
The great Dwight L. Moody heard
the call of God and he carried the
message of simple faith to the thou
sands of unsaved who fell on their
knees and worshiped God.
Billy Sunday moved thousands with
tho message that he carried from
God. i '
Gipsy Smith paused between the
call of the will and the call of God
and the call of God prevailed with
the work of evangelism.
The religion ; of Chris , Is neither
a religion of culture n creed. It
is not the religion of" but the
religion of God. , f ,

Hon. Austin Peay Announces.
'To the Democrats of Tennessee.
I am constantly being asked if I will
be a candidate for Governor next
year. If my personal interest and
Inclination were solely consulted,
might not undergo the effort and
sacrifice of another gubernatorial
contest. The glare and notoriety
which are inseparable from the gov
ernorship do not attract me, and for
the jsham and bluster of politics I
have a genuine dislike.
'Other considerations have con
trolled my decision. For the dignity
and responsibility of the State's first
office, my respect is profound and for
the opportunity which it opens for
earnest 'and high minded service,
covet it. The call to its citizenship
from State and nation is for contri
bution to government in patriotic
and unselfish thought and labor, that
its frightful cost may be reduced and
junior san,ty and economy prevail in all its
anairs. My views on tne matters or
first consideration in this State are
known to the people, and are un
changed since I last expressed them
In the belief that in the event of
my election, I can render a construc
tive benefit to the State, in reorder
ing its fiscal interests and in such
readjustment of the tax burden as
will lift its weight fiom our produc
ing class, and further, in purging the
State ofe the mischievous politic
,which has too long beset it, I havj
determined to again seek the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor.
"In due time, as in my last contest,
I will take my candidacy to the peo
ple. The primary does not occur un
til next August, and it is now too
early for any detailed statement. My
only purpose is to set at rest my
course in view of the repeated in
quiries on the subject." f
