Some reporters who would have half sense if they had twice the brain they have are making msrrj over the fact that the name oi William Edward Hickman one upon a time appeared on a Sun day school roll book. That is jus another manner of scoffing. Ther are many young bloods in this da and time who wear their broeche bottom upwards and who past their hair hard against their pate who think that it does them cred it to criticise institutions that gen eraions • before them have praiset They delight in barking at th Sunday school and the churcl rhey doubtless do receive the ap ulause of their kind. KI l ies Or HIE ( HURUH. We arc* being: treated to a whole sale criticism of the church, the ministry, and all reform move ments. Any man who sets oift to reform anything* now may as well prepare to be vmacfe the butt of •idicule. That watchfulness on the :>art of the enemy is not alto gether against us. When they come >ut with their criticisms then we :an detect our weaknesses without iny trouble about personal invert - :ory. As T see it the worst foes of the church are not these boys on ;he outside who are throwing brick )ats through the windows. They ire not even those on the inside vho say “doggone it’’ and who lare to take a drink of buttermilk, rhe worst enemies of the cause ire those on the inside who are tarrow, and bitter, and selfish, and squ'eamish, and sectarian, and un charitable. One of the prophets saw a' future day when my Lord will walk down the aisle of his sanctuary and one of the worship pers will say, “Master, whence lie the wounds in thy side and in thy hands and feet?” Then wil le say, “These are the wounds with which f was wounded in the house )f my friends.” -- VIV NEW YEAR S RESOLUTION The custom of swearing off Tom some custom is being assail ed as an unnecesary and feeble ise of the new year. It may be so, >ut it has served many people a means of reform which thty did lot find elsewhere. There is one yood turn it serves, it shows us :hat the best way to manage our selves is to decide on a proposi tion once for' all. If you have to lecide each day what you are go ng to do about some frivolous mbit, then that little habit will b your master and cudgel you at wffil. The*' best way to start this year is to see to it that we have run all the dead-head habits iri or the siefe' tracks' and that we have reserved only the main line foi constant use. It is the man who lets the trifles Sidetrack him who spends his life building toadhouses and playing mumble-peg. As for me, i am more determined' than ever that my ministry shall have to do with only^those things that count for most* MEMBER RECEIVED SUNDAY. | Miss Mary Lou .Wescott joined by certificate last Sunday. Miss Wescott was formerly a member of this church and this constitutes a home-coming for her. We are glad to w.elco'me her back home. METHODISTS MOVING TO TOWN. j Several Methodist families have recently moved to Smithfield and reports have it that there are sev eral more, on the way. To those who have already come, we want to extend a most hearty welcome to our church and to all its priv ileges. It is a time for all of us to see how attentive we can be to these new-comers. SMITH FIELD AND THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Count the white people of Smithfield and then size up the Sunday school rolls and you dis cover that not one half of the white people of our town are en rolled. f wonder if those who are not attending would vote for the discontinuance of these Sunday schools.' Then another thing, I wonder if those of us who do go believe that these schools would-be good for our neighbors and their children. All of us live near peo ple who do not get the advantage of the means of grace supplied by Bible instruction. Most all people will tell you that the Bible is the greatest book in the world and that Almighty God expects us to study it. This is doubtless true and it carries with it another great truth which is God is best pleased with those who give their support to these Sunday schools. Every church >n, this town thata has a Sunday school has seen to it that the quality of the school is such as to be a decided benefit to those attending. The teachers* the best available, arc- giving theij* time and talent for the blessing of the community and the saving of the people. -+ THEBE ARE 3 BIG THINGS. In the big- business of the Sun day school there are three greac aims regarding the pupils: 1. Teach them the word of God. This is trite, but the exhortation is needed. Teach them and keep on teaching. The Bible is differ ent. Jesus says the Word is the seed it is life. Sow it, and the harvest is sure. It never becomes stale, and you are mistaken if you think you can exhaust it. Continue steadfastly in the apostles' teach insr. ! d. Win them to Christ. Youth I; the high time for decision. Jesus is adorable, and^He will win the hearts of the children if you will prpeare the way. Do not shift the constant obligation to a kind of‘ai’ “decision day.” Make it the nat ural, the regular and the most prominent feature of the school, bringing the members of the school to Christ, to membership in his church. 3. Put them to work in the church, and for the church. Church members are church builders. Real ly the phrase, “Inactive church ■si members,” is, or ought to be, an absurdity. The school is a good place to begin. They tell us that - 80 per cent of all church mem bers come from the Bible .school. Then, what’s the matter with the school? Failure to'teach and train this wonderful army of young ;r people for actual service in fbu,, church. , . Teach them, .win them Uj . "ijf set them to work. - Y. :■ "v I ||VT , « — _ -J “Cf«£» ' Mow kind of you/' said fhdf girl, "to bring me the lovely, flow-, , ers. They are so beautiful and fresh. I believe there is some dew • on them yet." “Yen,” stammered the young ■ man, “bu tl’m gonna pay it pff tomorrow.” THE CALI, OF A UNITED CHURCH. From an address by Dr. Adolph[ Diessmann, of the University of Berlin, at the World Conference1 ori1 Faith and Order, Lausanne, Swifa, h, orland. So long as the church preaches the Gospel from the narrow val-r leys and deep abysses of mutual suspicion and isolation, her mes- • y sage does not penetrate to the world. It dies away piteously' oh,!1! the hard, rocky walls; it away in the shadow and cold mist of the valley bottoms.' But if thi'Wi united churches together mount, as the Zion of today, to the topmost heights of the holy mountain, and-tv. call aloud from there to the world as ambassadors on behalf ot‘ ‘ Christ, “Repent ye, for the King-, dom of God is at hand,” “Be ye reconciled to God,” then indeed that Gospel which in the age of the , Roman Caesars gave a new direc tion to men’s lives and even to the^ ! Mediterranean world as a wholp, will do today, for a world grown (vaster, that for which, in the mis ery of its pride and bestiality, of its hatred, its guilt arid its per plexity, it is hungry and athirst.
