This sermon was indeed a masterpiece
of divine thought and study. He told
how Christ sent out the seventy dis
ciples, to teach, how he gave them
special directions about the problems
and different people they would meet
in the manner in which they would be
received in different homes. He
brought into contrast the unbelief of
the cities.and the simple faith ot those
who heard and believed the word of
Clod, and described the woridly self in
dulgent man who tries to live by him
self alone, not yielding his life to the
divine keeping of the Supreme God
As it is valuable to live under His in
fluence ami obey his commandments.
j What has the kingdom of God done for
j people? What does it promi'e? Time
has tested the truth of God's Kingdom,
i it out lasts all others, it brings bless-
mgs no earthly ones can bestow, an
other possessions may slip away, but
these are enduring, therefore, cast not
your "Pearls before Swine." This beau
tiful discourse made a deep impression
on those present.

Pecks Bad Boy.
Sharon Section.
The Sunday School at Sharon is do
ing nicely, taking on new life, as it
were.
Farmers' unions are being discussed
to some extent in this section, and we
hope everybody will become interested
in the great work.
The corn and tobacco crops in this
section are looking well, but rain is
needed to produce the splendid yield
that we have been banking on. j
The monthly meeting at Sharon
Baptist Church was largely attended
and much interest manifested. Key.
Joseph Currin preached on July 27ih,
taking tor his text "The rich man and
his money." On the following Sunday
Rev. E G Usry, of Oxford, our own
pastor, filled the pulpit, taking for his
text "Them that feared the Lord spoke
otten one to another." These two
brethren are holding meetings at Mt.
Harmony this week.
This section is satisfied with the
election of county officers so far, and
we wish them much success, but we
request the County Commissioners to
remember the bad gullies and mud
holes in our public roads. We sincerely
appreciate the road from Berea to
Goshen Chapel. It is very beneficial
to the community, and we ask the
Commissioners to extend the road
from Goshen Chapel to Trinity Church.
With these and other slight improve
ments inaugurated in this section it
would be the means of diverting a lot
of trade to Oxford.
