The rain is still fall- ^0| . ing and th.' farmers of the county ast [are getting much behind with thelrl work, though crops are good. ; ar< Much sickness and death prevail. Pr' throughout the county from time to Pr* time, the Good Lord is calling for ;occ so many of our good old people but 'ai (we are sure that He makes no mis-.?f takes. ; wh We have just recently visited your a ' county and enjoyed so much the'the sweet communion of many friends in He the Hangingdog vicinity.

Ml mday School Lesson For July 13, 1924 The twelfth year of a normal boy's is an exceedingly important one. ha? just passed throuph a year slew physical growth as if ir pre ation for the expansion ? :' hi? vers. All through the eleventh ir he has kept an enormous appeboth for books and food. He a real store house of energy and h a wonderful reserve we may well sect to have a positive elenv: nt h which to deal during tht ewlftn ir. Indeed we find that this is true, r our twelve-year-old boy i- full daring and adventure, of dash 1 go. So rowdy is he that we netimes ir. our imaginations magy his body a little and declare that liiigUrn man is performing K. fore p very eyes. He enjoys a fight h or without a cause, will hunt long periods of time, fish when fish bite ami when they will not, ilore the whole country with the Toughness of a prospector and his pockets leaded with nunier collection- taken from the forest i river. Primitive instincts s?. m be thoroughly alive and Uachers tl expect the boy at this age to iy turant with no provocation at No amount of punishment can jnpletely destroy the rial fun of ining away for him. Strang* as it may seem teamv. rk ;ins to be a characteristic of his y. Along with it comes an awaking cf social instincts. There t>cis to grow with marvelous rapidity genuine- re pect for the standards his gang. The conclusions reachby the gang are law and gospel t 11. The words of parents, teacher preacher fade into insignificance they differ from the opinion f hi nch. With it all there is d'. vcb pir.g i.ne sir.se *?f loyalty and he will ck to the fellows though thick d thin. His conception of that :ich is right and honorable and ie and iust are often distorted or least immature but these are v'rin the boy and virtues that are' his own. Th 1 ader of boys of twelve is nova made-to-order hero. One can I him what he can do ar.d the boy II have no respect for this until ho tually does the thing. It is the in who can d- things that leads the y. The Jtsus boy did something J.ru.-alent. lie- put it al! over lliv post group of men in Jerusalem, venture the suggestion that the ys with whom he played gave their qualified approval of the deed. 1 0 venture to suggest that the huin side of Jesus had more respect r the approval ? f his group than p the wishes of his parents. I dc t find it anywhere stated that Jesus ologized for leaving his parents thout asking them ;f ho could go. was a nor null twelvc-vear-old boy. Among other things Jesus had a me that gavt him genuine mental tiniug. The : Latules of God vv rc illed into the mind of the boy. He is not an indolent thinker but possed a mind that was kepi whipd into lifte by parents who knew ' value of mental training. The ;ult was that he grew in wisdom, hen he came before the best sclints of his day he had a fund of in-mation and a brand of logic that onished the :ii. It is sometimes said that preachers 1 physical weaklings. It was my vilege once to be a member of a >ach r?' football team. On cnc asion a team from an army camp ne to play us. They ha dthe best the fracas in weight. The women o came to witness the contest were bit sorry for the preachers befor: game began. But when the whisblew and we all got down to busi!? one after another of the army n were removed from the field and attention of the women were died to the caring of army player? the end of the playing period the tachers were on the long end cf a to 0 score. [ think that my* Lord did something the same sort. In fact he was ong enough physically to chase the cle business out of his father's ise when they put it to an impropusc. Hie boy of twelve experience* a n religious awakening. It is a e privilege to be in a home where ?lvc-year-old boy? speak of their rd with the same ease that they do their own parents. Cultivating bdy's religious life is a great re-nsibility that rests upon parents, ery bcry who is deprived of a spiral atmosphere in his home and a stant drilling concerning the comnd? of God until these become a t of him wil remain silent in after ! when the virtues of his parents mentioned. It was not thus with us for we find that be in his last irs made provision for his mother, tder, how is it in your home? JRPHY, NORTH CARCUWA jfc SUIT. Mr. Stanley Wood has returned from Akron, Ohio.
