If so, which? • An Irishman once refused to give to missions until he “had his debts paid first.” Reminded that he owed the Lord a great deal and ought to pay him, he replied, “Faith, an’ I know it; but then He don’t crowd me like my other creditors,” Even so. The light and gas and water are shut off and service discontinued, if bills are unpaid. But because the church still stands, God still blesses us, and no one threatens The noblest question in the world is, What good may I 6,9 69 do in it? ** us, His work comes last—if at all, with many. A country editor once said in his paper: “The wind bloweth, the water floweth, the farmer soweth, the subscriber oweth, and the Lord knoweth, that we are in need of dues. So come a runnin’ ere we go a gunnin’; this here thing of dunnin’ gives us the blues.” Eight hundred dollars in the offering this morning would enable the church to meet local expenses and bring our finances up to date. Ex penses have gone on, whether subscriptions have covered them or not. Faithful officers have done all they can. Will you not help? -o HOW TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH Come. Come early. Come to worship and to receive a blessing. Come expecting great things, praying for great things and determined to do great things. If you see a stranger, welcome him. Shake hands with all you can. Breathe a prayer for the pastor, officers and each member, and for the sick. Cooperate, work, sing, pray, give and live the noble Christian life. -o The coming election is a plain referendum on the liquor question. If you have not done so, we wish you would read Governor Smith’s utter ances with reference to liquor. He puts the proposition squarely up to us who are AGAINST the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. He presents the plea of the liquor crowd with marvelous force and eloquence. He is their candidate. Raskob, DuPont and other Republican wets are going to “help” him. We must meet him and his allies and show them that this country is determined not to “re turn, the dog to his vomit and the sow to her wallowing in the mire.” We are going on with the great experiment of prohibition. It may take fifty years to finish the job, but we have no notion of turning back.—C. A. Upchurch, Supt. of North Carolina Anti-Saloon League. --o We welcome the new and old teachers back to Hyde county. Come to church.
