Firet, it is our duty to be
cbeerful because we owe it to
onr homes. To-^ay doty plays
a great part in- this world.
I'tic I tic tvoiG cugiii is a
duty word. Wc ought to
go to school, so wc do. Wc
ought to work, therefore wc
work. We ought to be cheer-
fii) in our homes, aud know
mg this it should help us to
culiiv.'itc a checilul disposi
tion, Cheerfulness is the very
sunshine of the home, and if
w e let it die out, the home
will become so cold and damp
that nonecanceciipyit. Who
ever is not cherrful in the
home is doing violence to him-
self and his home.
Often people think that
whin they are in the home
they can do any way, sav
what they want to, go where
they choose, talk cross to
their parents or brothers and
sisters when strangers are
not around. Their highest
imbiiion is to appear well
when away from home. I’ity

learned to be cheerful in the
honjy, for it is one of tbedcar-
est places on earth and wc
have not done our duty until
wehnvp I’ivcp Tinr viLur#*
sunshine in that home.
Another great hindrance in
being cheerful is borrowing
trouble or worrying over
things we cannot change, for
getting that life is too short
to take care of things that
are not helpful or which can
take care of themselves. We
should live now, be happy
now. Just think of others,
and by so doing wc will be
busy as well as cheerful. Our
loved ones in the home ex
pect our help. If you enter
the home with a bright face,
you will be greeted by a hap
py one, but, on the other
hand, take a cloudy face into
the home, and then you will
be greeted by oue, oh, so dark
Second, we cught_ to be
cheerful for the sake of the
society in which we move
in th? home, buti they reach
out to our neighb>rs and to
the community about us.
Since society furai hesus with
the way of travC,'! i^ucation,
news, varlety-ofpiastre, and
opportunity, it duty to
give our very bc^ Io society.

Third,’ we pi ht tb be

purpose. He crerteil iis in
his image. All o us jknow
that his counlen?»j,^e is not
dark, but bright a: J radiant
instead; ye8^.,ev;’) brighter
than the glpnous sun. Now

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
"Jd Itst week’s issue I read
the following headed, “Some
Why.” I will not undertake
to recite the whtde piece over
again, bat will cover every
question with only one an-,
swer.
Why do Christians mark
clic wold, hat^ ‘-.vt*aiiJy n-ot-
ship only when the preacher
is present?. Answer. Chris
tians do not such things, but
hypocrites do. A Christian
man or woman born of God,
does not live or act that way.
God’s Cbild'reo are not
ashamed of him or his cause,
but are always ready and
willing to promote bis cause
^id kingdom. Hypocrites
always are the most ready to
put on airs when the preacher
is around, consequently they
being members of some church
are called by the^,>ame name
and the word Chiistian is al
ways used. Now Bro. I will
ask only one ([uestion to an
swer yours, Why do minis
ters pray before their people
for God lovirg and God serv
ing men to rule over them,
and go to the poles and
vote for the wickedest man
in the stale to rule over them?
Why do ministers pray for a
removal of ail intoxicative
liquors and vote for whiskey

DOING HIS BEST.
A ministeroflongexperience
one time said “that a preach
er before bis audience should
do his very best” He then
added, “A man cannot do
his best very long; some can
do their best for forty minu
tes, and now and then you
will find a public speaker svho
can do bis best for an hour,
or even iouger.” Paul had a
lesson ofthis^haracterin view
when he . told Timothy.
“Study to show thyself np-
nroved unto God, a workman
th',t needefh hot to be asham
ed.” 2 Tim. 2: 15.
The gifted apostle wanted
TimothV ^o do a work that
he need n6t be ashamed of,
and this he could not accomp
lish without careful prepara
tion. What was good advice
for Timolby should be good
for us. Too many ministers
go into the pulpit without
any preparation for the mes
sage they are to deliver, and
noiv and then they take the
pains to tell their earnest and
intelligent audience that they
came to the house of God
without any special prepara-
on. f
Dccasionally a gifted man,
urdcr these conditions, may
deliver an able discourse.—it
may be one of his best. But
this is the exception and not
the rule. The man who pro
poses to do his verv best must
get himself ready lor thetask.
He must study the Word,and
he ought to study it well. He
should know how rightly to
divide ihc Word, so as to pre-
111 it ailglv.'v ti»f people.
He should study his people.
He ought to know his people.
He ought to understand their
needs, then he may be able to
feed them with the spiritual
nourishment which they re
quire.
Having accomplished this,
let him, in the fear of God,
deliver Kis message in a way
that he need not be ashamed
of his effort There will be
times, in spile of the best pre-
para,ion that he can make,
when the honest man is sure
to feel dissatisfied with his
best efforts. Audit may be
good lor him to have this feel
ing; occasionally. It will re
mind him of his weakness,
and you
Then ask h«)w can G(^d an
swer such prayers that fall
from such blasphemous lips.
God is not mocked, and what
men sow they shall reap
Coniidence is lost even among
members of the so called
rhurches. -Nine tenth of the
preachers arc more anxious
to get the news paper every
Sunday morning, than all the
Bibles in the land. We need
not look for better days un
til the church shakes herself
loose from all such men as
we have today, trying to
preach the Gospel of Christ,
and at the same time will
over ride the will of God to
obey the mandates of any
party that is ruling the
church and states today.
Can Christians be so awfully
blinded when Ood says, when
the wicked rule the earth
mourns. Can't we wake up
to the will of Ood, and fill
the offices with God loving
men or let the church or

Dear Baptist:—We wish to
announce to the readersoftbe
Baptist, that a seritsofmeet-
ings has just closed here* held
by our pastor, R. I. Corbett,
who filled hisregulara^point-
ment last fourth Sunday and
continued the meeting
throughout the week. VVe
had servi«:e3 each night and
twenty'two cotffessed Christ.
We also had services again
last Sunday at 11 a, ni. Text:
Prov. 1:10. “My son, ii sin
ners entice thee ctmsent thou
not,” andagaiu,1:15. “Walk
not thou in the way with
them.” Th’S was indeed a
good sermon, of much impor-
Christians stay aw... -.rou,!'anci to our rhr.rch nieraWs,
the polls and ’...t tue Oevii run | -''“d we bc'ir-. thour-hlj- rn-
the country. II God’s minis- ‘’Y P'-esent. Sund.uy
ters on earth today cannot
unite on the safety of the
church, do let me beg you
please don’t say any more
about your drunken deacons
and non paying church mem
bers, and training children
wrong an so forth. If we
want all such stuff’ remedied
the preachers must stop lead
ing the people, and vote as
they pray. Tell me my Bro
hear and an
swer the prayers of the people
when they ask him for good
men to rule over them, and
vote in favor of bis own down
fall. Common sense ought to
teach us better. I will come
again,
Your Bro. in the work.

p. m. We attended baptism
at the usual place, sixteen
were baptized. Bro. Corbett
worked oarnesllyiu this meet
ing, and surely, bis efforts
were no,i in vain. The church
seemed iiiuch revived and a
general, interest was maiiilest.
We feel like our meeting was
justasgood held by our pos
ter as it would Jiave been
held by someone else, because
vve feel sur.e Bro. Corbett is
not a lalse prophet come to
us in sheep’sclotbingas some
times is the case, We hav'c
known ‘him from a child, be
has been brought up among
us, therefore his influence is
very gdod here. May the
Lord cvep bles him in the work.
'Yours for Christ,
Flojirnce Tuoknu,
