If Jou have any doubt about it, come Sunday night. THE SMITH FIELD HERA! I) Amorist the things that are on the upgrade about. SmithfiekI is the Smit'hfield Herald. The issues for .. my nnnu, neen a great, improvement in stylo and content. The ho*l issue that has appeared since I came, to Smith field is tile one for Tuesday of this week. The editorial page of that ropy lias to do with our economic, religious and social life. The ar guments are light jam-up and con lain real cornhread and cabbage. The editor must he reading the Methodist Bulletin. ARE WE ON THE JOB? The business of this church is lo make bad men good and good :nen better. The harder of these two propositions is found to be in the latter. It seems to be our style to rest whenever we discover that we have attained something. Henry Ford says that the efficient work men give him most concern be cause they are less likely to im prove. So is it with us, Henry. But I started out to say that the church has one two-fold task in tho com munity. We once thought that the way to get this jcib over was to have a big mass, of feed just in side tho gap and, when the sheep come peeping through, to send ■>ur personal workers out to grab them. \\ e have learned by exper ienee that while we are getting oui hands wrapped in the wool of one sheep, the others turn and flee The first thing to be sure about that we have the proper feed with in the gap. The next thing is to be .skillful in letting down the bars and turning the sheep in. There has been complaint that in this second particular we have turned in too many that were not prepared for the fold. That is not so dangerous if the proper influ ences can be found in there after they come in. Most of my trouble with my new ntembers is that too many of them become like some bad ones that I already have. The Master said that ' the program should be to first prepare the feast and then go out and bring in those that need it. We must be about these two projects or not call our selves a church. - ♦ NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. We will have the same chapter for next Wednesday night that was announced for last Wednesday night. This chapter contains, 1: The crime of the unwashed hands; The Commandments of God and the traditions of men; 3: Licking jp the crumbs under the children's THAT NEW EPWORTH LEAGUE The new league that was organized j three weeks ago is going like a house afire. At the last Sunday' meeting they had an impromptu debate on capital punishment. Some i who listened in on the arguments I expressed great surprise that those j so young and timid should have ' such wisdom. Donnie Ward, Re becca Royal, Ruth Johnson, Grace I Johnson, Corbin Young and Sta-1 ton Boyette were those who spoke i on this subject. -* CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN. There are twenty-three denom- 1 inations of Protestants in Japan. I Jo the Japs that represents twen-1 ty-three brands of religion. If we ‘ tell them that the religion is all the same Christian religion, then they want to know why these Chris tians cannot get along together. When the Japs . reason that way ithey show, that they are kin to mo —that is the way I think, ft-ia as confusing to me over, here to see 228 denominations as it is for . them to see. 23 over there. OUR OWN KIM YUNG HAK. I have been rather timid re garding the claims of our mis. sionary this year because of tho ravages made by the boll weevil, the tobacco fly, and the silk worm! Receipts show $395 paid in during the year including fifty recently sent by the Missionary Society. This month completes a year'on this pledge. If anyone wants tu contribute to this fund please get the amount to me so I can send it before the month is gone/1' ' DR. HOOKS GETS ME A REST. When I came back from Confer ence with this little speH of scia tica, Dr. Hooks told tap that the only way I was going to cure it was to stay off my feet! I thought I would wear the trouble out; and then show the doctor how it was done. But I have thought it over again since then and I figure that this is the chance of my life to get a good vacation.
