A Church That Live
Winter intZ a?icle by S'

Olive Chapel a country Baptist
Church with 447 members, near K
m C,Unty' North Carolina U
The Pastor Rev. William S Olive
intimately involved with the life of
mfniSryPle ty-two years of
3hG chlircl1 a vital . community
f.nd a symbol of the sturdy
lue of the people it serves. It min
isters to the folks in terms ""of better
farming and better living
Its chief self-imposed tasks to
abolish pauperism from the commun
ity, to vitalize the relation between
work and worship, and to minimize
the evils of absentee landlordism and
farm tenacy.
Not an illiterate child of school age
in the community; not a pauper in
the-vicinity; and no neighbor ever
neglected in times of illness.
The only country church in the'
state supporting a full time resident
minister; and the only country Sun
day school accredited by the South
ern Baptist Convention as belonging
in class 1..
The pastor lives a half mile from
his church. Salary $900 a vear. TTe
is a farmer-preacher-pastor. Began to
serve this people for $150 a year. A
graduate of Wake Forest College and
Louisville Theological Seminary.
Farm land in the neighborhood
used to sell at $10 an acre; now it
brings $50. Up-to-date homes have
replaced ramshackling cabins. One
crop farming has given way to diver
sified crops and livestock. A consoli
dated school has taken the place of
several small, weak, one-teacher
schools. Stubborn individualism has
disappeared.
Should the country church minister
to all the economic needs of the com
munity? Yes, says Mr. Olive with
out hesitation.
What is the relation of the coun
try church and the country school
They are twin sisters, says Mr. Olive.
Given a fruitful church and an effi
cient school, the results, says he, are
a better farming community.
Does such a country church grow?
Well, yes in 22 years, from 226
members to 447; from 141 Sunday
school pupils to 485; from a total
contribution of $172 a year to $1711;
from $13.87 a year raised for mis
sions to $463.79.
The pastor is behind every good
thing in the community pure-bred

AFTER THE GRIPPE
Vinol Restored Her Strength
Canton, Miss. "I am 75 years old and
became very weak and feeble from the
effects of La Grippe, but Vinol has done
me a world of good. It has cured my
cough, built up my strength so I feel
active and well aain." Mrs. Lizzie
Baldwin, Canton, Miss.
Vinol is a constitutional remedy
which aids digestion, enriches the
blood and creates strength. Un
equalled for chronic coughs, colds or
bronchitis. Your money back if it
fails.

Very Gallantly Said
conversation at a social affair
the other evening turned to the sub

appropriate little anecdote was re
called by Senator Thomas J. Walsh,
of Montana:
One afternoon a young woman
weighing about 250 pounds was
gracefully waddling down the street
when she stepped on a bana peel in
front of a grocery store.
Instantly the plump young person
began to choot toward the buildkig
and eventually she landed in a crate
of fresh country eggs that th jr.

excite envy and admiration. "Rnw

Those who are a icted with stom

read the following: "I have never
found anything so good for stomach
trouble and constipation as Cham-

off and now for the past two years.

the bowels but stimulate the. liver
