(Bj W. fl. nugdale.) HOW much would that charity which "Beareth all things, en dureth all things and hoped all things," smooth away a lot of the sorrows of this life and add to our happiness, if we would only- apply it in its true meaning. It is a di- vine injunction ap plicable to us all. It is a repose from the perils and storms of the world; but to se cure all the benefits to be derived from charity we must pave theway with good intentions and it must not stop here; we must carry out to a finish our prearranged plans to accomplish something worth while. If our life be one of toil and suffering, if the world outside be cold and dreary, what a pleasure to re turn to the sunshine of happy faces and the warmth of the ones we love and remember the wise man's eyes are in his head but the fool walks in darkness. Knowledge is the light of the world; to provide it requires a lot of study, thought and application of mind to produce any degree of knowledge that will do us any good.

He will calculatel the cause atid efiecT or ctfrjp1r&ebts; from dates and prophesies as re corded in holy writ; he will apply every quotation that will meet with his requirements and weave the whole into a very plausible story and will tell it with as much sincer ity a? if it were all a gospel fact. In fact these fellows tell these yarns so much and so olten that they really bejieve it themselves and they are a dangerous class of people they do not disturb the tranquility of a developed mind, nor da they have any effect on the progress of Christ's teachings, but they do gather about them a class of people who, having no other source of light, not from necessity but from choice, and into their receptive minds pour the ven. om of their doctrine. This makes them dangerous. While they do not disregard the teachings of the meek and lowly Nazarene, they do mis lead in the conceptions of his inten tions. Such teachings should not be tolerated or countenanced in a Chris tian community. Of course this be ing a free country, and assuming the guise of a religious sect, it is not so easy to stamp it out, unless it could be proven that it had a direct influenoe in corrupting the minds and retarding the spiritual develop ment of the people, who have come in contact with its teachings. Can any man, brought up in this enlight ened age, with all the advantages of a knowledge of a soul to save and a heaven to gain, with a divine prom ise that "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am ye may be there also;" then the invitation, "Come unto me ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" and hundreds of other equally ood and divine promises, which we can all receive. And with faith and tenacity we can get them all we do not need any new doctrine nor do we need any new interpreta tions of the scripture ; the same old book has been our grandfathers guide, our fathers' guide, and as a heritage it has been handed down to us; it is good enough just as it is. What we do not understand we have Mo&es and the prophets. Let us hear them. Every church has a Moses or a prophet in the pulpit ready and willing at all times, un der any circumstance, to set any man straight if in doubt as to Christ's meaning when he said seek ye first the kingdom of heaven., and all things will be . added," so it is a very plain proposition, awfully easy of acceptance and worthy of all con sideration.

The Council of the Boy Scouts held its annual meeting last evening iu Supt. Marr's office. All the old officers were re-elected and plans were made for greater progress this year. Thirty dollars were conirib uted to the Boy Sccut propaganda in America, to secure one million members. A plan is on foot for the various churches to organize Boy Scouts patrols and thus materially increase their numbers. The merchants should carefully Jteep these farmers' certificates to halance against their next purchase J?f flour from jobbers or mills. The great importance of preserving these i certificates will be realized by read ing ths following rules by the U. t. Food Administration: (a) MILLERS; (b) WHOLESALERS AND JOBBERS Rules 26 and 29. No licensee nanufacturing or dealing in. wheat flour at wholesale shall, without ihe permission of the United States Food Administrator, sell or deliver wheat flour to any retailer or consumer thereof, unless the buyer purchases at the same time, or the licensee sat isfiedhimself that the buyer has purchased one pound of wheat flour substitutes for evary pound of wheat fl iur purchased." 7 Therefore, as the mdler or - jobber cannot sell wheat flour to the merchant without also selling the substitutes, etc., and as the merchant may sell to the farmer without the substitutes (under conditions above stated), these farmers' certifiates become important as the merchant may present the certificates to the miller or jobber and secure flour with no substitute- Of course the rniller or jobber retains these certifi cate for his own U3e higher up. Example If John Jones, merchant, has on hand certificate? show ing that h?

SIXTH LYCEUM NUMBER The sixth of the lyceum attrac tions will take place at the school auditorium Monday night, Feb.25th, at which time W. Powell Hale,-one not Set Aside the Law - of had his head and shoulders crusneorTJNatural uraerv V written for The Review by W.A.GattJ Pdster T is the natural law of the floral, or botanical, world that like produces like. Whatsoever we sow that of its hke kind shall we also reap if we reap anything. This is biblical teaching and we know it's true. ' It is in obtdience to a Divine' mandate, and not a man-made -law. With this immutable law of order all will readily agree to it's beauty and jus tice and then many will foolishly pursue an opposite and contrary course, blindly expecting things to work out right in some way in the end. But he cannot do it and a disastrous failure is the reward for this mistaken course. ' There is in every production- in the material world the similitude of that which produced it as well as the germ of its own likeness; by which it may be further reproduced in the progeny 'of its own image, however different in many ways one j may seem from the .other. If a, grain of corn be planted and there be reproduction there can be only corn as the increase or grain repro duced. Conditions of the soil, the season and the cultivation of ; the young plant are all vital factors in its growth, development and mature ity, but in its'reproduction there can be only one kind, or species, of grain, the kind like that which was planted. And thus it is in the moral and spiritual world as in the material, or plant kingdom. We cannot plant one thing and from it reap another of unlike nature and we need, not try to set aside the Taw of natural order, or of cause and effect. Wrong does not produce a right, neither can. goodness be the father of evil. Like follows like as truly as day succeeds the night , and darkness-give3 way beforfrthe effulgpt light of the ris iogjpn.' If we commit' ajnjmklnd act ftr doa kind one, and either falls on the fertile and proper "r-"Ml of the recipient, we can only receive in return of its like nature as the reward of such an act, if there is any reproduction at all; We may sometimes receive evil and suffer wrong from some entmy of the right scattering tares where we had sown good grain, but we should see to it that it comes not from our . own planting. While happiness is a universal de sire of the human heart, a condition of life for which we toil (and live its presence is always incidental and dependent upon a condition. If we are happy it is because of something we have, have had or hope to have as well as what we are. It is an ab stract quality, inherent in and pro duced by something in our hearts. Thus its presence is felt and is de pendent upon two conditions, some thing to create it and a place in which to live and impress itself. In seeking happiness one beauti ful fact should not be forgotten that it comes most to those who try most to carry it to others, and' so is reflective. To bring the blessings of happiness into the lives of others is good seed sown in fertile soil to spring up and yield in rich returns; of the same good seed and abundant harvest to bless and enrich the sower. From thia logical fact none will dissent, but many there are, to their own sad loss, who refuse to make it a consistent example of their lives. . Beautiful in theory ? Yes, but more beautiful in practice. "It is more blessed to give than id receive" is biblcal teaching and we readily agree that it is true, but there are many who would prefer to let others do the giving while they, would rather seek the blessings by some other .route, contenting them selves with onlv the receiving,, and then when it does not measure fully -with their expectations, complain of the cold selfishness of human ha ture. Our needs may" be few but our -wants are many. The human mind is ever reaching out and seeking for things new and different. Pleasures are fickle and taste uncertain. The heart may grow cold and tired" of things of long familiarity and asso- . ciation and we find it difficult to make bur wants; or the things we so ardently desire, harmonize with the conditions that alone can bring us happiness And in the conflict between the reality and the imagin- ; ' (Continued to last Page) Big John Still Living John Alexander of Pomona wrote a letter saying he would drown him self in th Yadkin river, .but John is still living.
