The pastor, Rev. B. C. Reavis, t Irought the faster message from the - text : "Come and See Where the Lord Lay. Matthew, . 28:6. Special preparation for the service was evident in the choir as they sang the' beautiful anthem: "Jesus Is Risen . Indeed," the notes of Easter joy and ; gladness, but the most beautiful and, ' impressive part pf the service came as a climax when 25 were received . into the church as a result of the meeting,' which . has been classed as one of the best that our church has ' tnjoyecLfor many years ; one of more fai-reachine influence perhaps, than ""stny previous one. The preaching was done by the pastor ana nis ser- mons we're earnest, reasonable, pes . suasive and deeply spiritual. The church was very fortunate in securing to assist, the pastor, Rev. C. P.

There were not more" than a half- dozen at prayer meeting the follow ing Wednesday on account of the pouring rain, nevertheless, the pastor . gave of his best in a splendid talk on the Psalmist's words: "I thought on -my ways and turned my feet unto . " thy testimonies." VHe said in part - that oneof the devil's main jobs was -1 to keep men from thinking, knowing ' Ahat as reasoning beings, if they take time to think things through to a log v . ical conclusion they would turn from 'his devious ways of sin, sorrow and ?

Junaluskee , Lodge No. 145, A. F and A., M. v March 29. 1926. Tokio, Japan, is nearer the western xtremety of Alaska than is Seattle Vashington. True-hearted; wholehearted; hard hearted; tender-hearted; chicken-hearted; lion-hearted, are all common and very expressive terms denoting char acter. By legend and story the heart is the fountain of life. 'Perhaps, in truth, the character of the heart does not determine the character of the individual, but most certainly the physical condition of the heart deter mines to a great extent the physical status of the individual. The human heart is little different from the hearts of animals so familiar in the meat markets. The average weight is a little over one-half pound, and it is about the size of the individ ual's own clenched fist. It is a pump which by its contrac tions and relaxations pumps the blood Btfeam through the miles of varying sized blood vessels in the body. Its action is exactly like ttat of the hand grasping and squeezing the rubber bulb of a syringe. Nor mally it squeezes a little over seventy times each minute while awake and sixty times when asleep. While beating at this rate ,the heart pumps an average of about five quarts of blood per minute. Often it is beating much faster and may pump as much as twenty quarts per minute. Would your hand get tired squeez ing the rubber bulb of a syringe if you had to pump seventy-five gallons of water per hour and force it through little tubes so small the eye could not see them? Suppose there was added to this labor the knowledge that if you stopped squeezing for even one minute, day or night, year after year, it meant instant death. When you realize all of this you get a faint Idea of what your heart must and does do. Isn't it worth a little special thought and tare to see that. such a hard working little engine is treated, fairly? Over two million people to day In this country have serious heart trouble. Is YOUR heart alright? The main causes of organic heart diseases are rheumatism (so-called), certain contagious diseases of child hood, syphilis, and improper habits of living. Very serious and permanent damage to the heart, may result from getting up too soon after diphtheria, scarlet fever,, measles, influenza and, in fact, any infection. The poisons'of these diseases are very irritating and de structive to the valve of the heart and If there is added to this the ex tra exertion of getting up in the weak ened condition, it may be the "last straw that breaks the camel's Jback." Some other causes of heart trouble will be discussed next week. CLAIMS COST OF COUNTY AUDIT TO DATE IS $19,450 (April 7, 1926.

P-A16 Jim's Surprise 4 (A Short Story) ' JIM THOMPSON seldom allowed worryWrinkles to pull his eyebrows out of shape. So it was with some mystery that we beheld him one day shufflling away good shoe leather and wearing one -o' those "I-lost-my-best-f riend" Iooks "What's up?" we hastily -inquired. "Well, I'll tell ya" replied Jim - - "I gotta sell my car, need the money in a hurry and seems I can't run across any one who wants v it. The bus is in good shape and a real' bargain." Whereupon, we suggested he try a Classified. Want Ad in THE FRANKLIN PRESS. Jim took the tip. Invested 25 cents in a five line ad. And say - you'd a-thought Prosper-' ity had hit the town over night. For, before an other twenty-four hours had worri off into history, Jim was given a regular rush --by a fraternity of buyers armed with the ready cash! It was such a suprise, it had Jim dizzy for a minute. But he gained his wits, sold the bus for more than he expected to get, sent his thanks to this newspaer and now says that the CLASSIFIED AD SECTION OF THE if anybody' FRANKLIN PRESS - - doesn't pay, we'll send him to Jim for a good hot argument and plenty of proof to the contrary !
