By Mrs, Pearl M. Blue Reporter: John Hall church at Carthage raised $124.35 in Sunday SchOol Christmas day! The total for the church was something Uki'$190r including expenses. Rev. P. W. Toney was with us on the second Sunday and‘preached one of the most soul-stirring sermons we have listened to in a long time. Born to Mr, and Mrs. Curtis Goins a lovely daughter, Pauline Gloria, ■ Misne# Tarbel and Mattie mtWbm ,who recently at tended the funeral services of their father at Lancaster, S'. C., are hack after a trih of several day*, . Sunday past w*s. an ideal day. We were fortunate in having among our maty visitors Mr. and Mrs. Paul Richardson and children bf Charlotte. He assist ed in raising the contribution, The amount realized in the Sun day school was $61; church, $43.25. Come again, Mr. Rich ardson. Thus closed another il lustrious day, Mr. Richardson, and family were the guests'.‘of road land and on the high seas. £an; is determined to ruTe and jontrol and on the other hand, nan is- determinad oot to be *uled or contxoled, and hence a >attle. During the past five years hore than thousand men, o women and; children have g }y the shot gun neag and around t ;he places of ilKcit manufactur ng and selling of strong drink. Hie officers of the law have died )y thicrdistillersf fire; and mak ers of whiskey have been sur prised and killed too often in _ jold blood, when both the law' 1 igents and law breaker* felt hey - were doing their duties. * The etfi of intemperance IS consuming much of the ener gy of political parties #hfie reg ilations best for the people are peing agitated for their peace ind safety. The Churclroiriy is the remedy for the nation's di orama. The- Sunday schools* ahd all other auxiliary - forees working in the Church wtth kSefi riS$bn over the young, perhaps ' in four generations can* conquer foe to prosperity, an* Gh?i|-u ty. Christ commands us to * into aH the the world m tia: ye mi gads save them to; the world and t» His Father. The burden* there fore, is heavy upon the Christian Church to eradicate sin by-deal ing with the hearts and con sciences of men everywhere through the appealing persua sion of the gospel of Christ. I believe that if one-fifth of the money that is used otherwise in' trying to check the evils of strong drink could be givfeir to the 'Church to supplement the poor salaries of the preachers to forge a mighty crusade against intemperance, for more good ] could be accomplished. We read some days ago where an illit- ’ erate minister was engaged in the sale of strong drink to aug ment his'living conditions. This man had never formed any hab it of the use Of liquors, but was apparently led away by the need of the dollars which need, of course, was no excuse for his tampering. *’ ? A rounding ‘lip‘of the children in every home not missing one, by the forces of the Church can destroy king alcohol in five gen erations, applying only the pow er of the gospfel. The problem here is getting hold of the chil dren, but the' solution is!far more easy. than getting hold of the m^n byj rum raiders and other law devices. , It is the Church's battle and the1 world is depend ing upon t^q Church for sshra* tion' from' aB’ eV^s here hr this* life; foi- of a certainty we shall besafeWhenjn heaven. * ; ‘ HARBISON AGWCEI/IURAt COLLECt*KEWS. ■ By ?.R/Bi**ar 1 .*’ ’ r" *'■ >1 Although w^Kave oot written about out Bfble class in several months, wier are-proud to saytc our many frierfds ffiabtitje Bible class is still moving on splendid ly Under th*T efficient leaded ship of thb President, MrJ T.
