THINKS IT BOUNDEN DUTY
Pclxer, S. C., Dec.. 18. ? Sunday

the campaign against tubercoloeis.
To help this along, General Secre
tary J. M. Way has sent a letter to
the- A mar Iran* Tuberculosis Bxhlbt
tlon, in which he says:
\ "# shall be very glad indeed. If our
Sunday School workers shall see
proper to agitate the important ques
tion of taking care of the- physical
man an well as the spiritual. No mat
ter how spiritually inclined the fu
!ure generation of boys and girls may
be, when the* reach womanhood and
manhooff they cannot do the Impor
tant work which an ihmnlpotent God
may &B8ign therii unless they shall
have cared for their health as to
develop a perfect physical manhood
and womanhood. It is undoubtedly
a duty of Christen men and women
to regard in the most careful man
Mt tiio wsUatloa ft" nn
example. Christian people always re
fer us to the history of God's chosen
people an recorded In the Old Testa
ment 6criptureH, and it would be- im
amplo of health. Tbey seem to hanr

?of their-bodles and their ruTeB of

necessary rules for the care ol the

as any nationality has evey observed.
"It is my opinion that a Sunday
Softool "teacher, when striving to pro
pare a >oy or girl for God'ti service
In the future, should kccp,jCflnBta.i'

strong miud in order fo render the
