C The Junius Daniel Chapter U. D. C. will meet on Thursday, Nov. 8th instead of Wednesday, Nov. 7th, with Mrs. R. S. Travis as hostess. Let all the Daughters be present and hear the report of delegates to annual meeting. Mrs. Ida Wilkins, Pres. Mrs. W. C. Allen, Sec. Sake in the Boat. Those housewives who put in much lime during the past summer laying up provisions for the winter have no reason to Feel worried. Whatever comes, they will have what they have preserved, and if need be will be able to sell some. It was thrift and patriotism to can everything worth while. The Golden Rule. What is known as the golden rule in mor als, is the rule laid down by Jesus in the sermon on the mount, and stated by him to be the law and the prophets. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. 1:U. The Waysof a Mule. A per son who harnessed and unharness ed a mule for months may forget himself and stoop for something at the animal's heels. Then the mule, docile for so many days, be gins to kick. When the luckless driver regains his senses he imag ines the mule had been waiting craftily all those weeks just to get a good opportunity to kick him. Week of Prayer. The ladies of the M. E. Church will hold their annual Week of Prayer services in the Baraca room of the church on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next. Let every woman of the church try to attend these meeting'. The times demand that we make sacrifices and let us examine our selves and see if we are doing our part. Mrs. H. C. Spiers, Pres. W. M. S. Apples Valuable as Food Apples should be used in our diei as ofien as possible They are easily obtained, reasonable in price, lend variety to the menu and are of value as a Food and as a preven tive of disease. Nothing in all our varied and fascinating ranee of fruits holds quite the same quality and qualifications as ihe apple. The more apples we add to our dietary the clearer brain and clearer skin we are likely to have. A new, ripe apple at its best is digested in 85 minutes. IN THE CHURCHES, Special Prayer Were Offered for , a Speedy Successful Peace. The services at the different churches on Sunday last all par look of the spirit of the day as re quested by President Wilson, Spec ial prayers were offered for a speedy successful peace, and atten tion called 10 ihe Food Conserva tion program. Mr, Shaniburger preached on ihe duty of Christians in witnessing for Christ to a large and attentive congregation. The music was good and at the close, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" was sung with much spitit. At night the service was specially interest ing, the subject beiiiR, "The Readiness of a l-'aiher to Re ceive a Prodigal Child," the third in ihe series of sermons Mr. Sham burger is preaching on ihe parable of the prodigal son. His preach ing is always attractive and con vincing but this sermon was de cidedly the best of the series. At ihe close, requests of prayer were given by two persons. Miss Kate Tilghman sung as a solo, "Abide With Me" as an oll'enory. At the Episcopal church in the morning Rev. N. C. Duncan used the subject of the day for a theme and spoke on the parable of the loaves and fishes, showing Jesus as the greatest conserver of food in history, dwelling especially on the fact that one great reason for the world-wide war is that the na tions of the earth, especially Ger many, had turned away from the true God and must be brought back to a realization of their lost condition when such is the case. At the Baptist church Rev. J.G. Blalock held his usual services. His sermon at night was from the text "an honest man the noblest work of God." This congregation is now install ing a handsome organ which will add greatly to the beauty of the new church. Idleness. "Idleness is the badge of gentry and the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naugh tiness, the stepmother of disci pline; the chief author of all mis chief, one of the deadly sins, the cushion upon which the devil chiefly reposes." ShouldBe Stopped. Inexpe rienced boys and girls con tinue to drive automobiles in the face of the law which says ex pressly that they shall not, and ac cidents continue to happen. Few officers have the nerve to report a pretty little girl as she sits in a big car and threatens to run down some hapless pedestrian. Many policemen feel as if they were play ing with their jobs when they "pull" ihe very youthful son of a local celebrity as he speeds about town greatly to the danger of the citizens. But this practice of al lowing children to run automobiles should be stopped before some ter rible accident happens. To Make a Merry Christ mas.
