I 4 lit Farris Preaches At Asbury And Mulberry Churches On Sunday J The subject qf Pentecost was dis cussed in two sermons at Asbury and Mulberry churches Sunday by Rev. C. F. Farris. Both Asbury and Mulberry churches are on the Georgia highway, and many peopie attended the ser vices in spite of rain. .The pastor took the texts from the chapter in Acts describing the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. He dwelt upon the conditions neces sary for a Christian's Pentacost to day. "When the time was fully come, they were weary with self, with lack of power and victory. The time had come for a new experience," the pas tor stated and asserted '. that every Christian' must get to the place where he wants the Holy Spirit. Not By Force N "God never forces himself upon any one," stated Rev. Farris. "A person must 'hunger and thirst after righteousness.' Parents would have power with children if they possessed the Holy Ghost. Every blessing we have today is the result of an overflow of power in hearts of men. This age with all. its social reform can never be blessed , until men are filled with the Holy Spirit. It is pitiful to attempt any victory in the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. We are living in an evil day when we need Him more than ever before.". B. E. BUCHANAN aft Birthday D i n n e r Is Held Honoring Aged Citizen's Anniversary .

Mr. Conley, among whose records the composition was found, was burr ied in the Tesenta section of .this county. ' .' THE TONGUE The tongue is one of the hardest members of the human body to con trole. It was given to us for a high and noble purpose, to speak kindly to all mankind with when we come in contact, to speak of the beauties! of nature, to praise the Creator of all good. But alas! how often it is de graded, and brought down from its high and exalted purpose of, giving praise to the Creator and used in quaffing down poisonous liquors that make a brute of man and cause him to be engaged in taking the name of God in vain and cause him to be engaged in quarreling, and talking about his neighbors, in talking and tale-telling, in picking at others clothes, and books, i fault-finding with every-body that don't think as r hedoesTliis , is wronfeWe should - 6uf controle in a mannajr that wouiri -make it a blessing instead of a curse. The tongue once started "is difficult to controle. A word spoken can not be recalled. Then we should be care ful not to use the Tongue wrong, to make it prove a curse instead of 'a blessing, calculated to make others miserable when we could make them happy with a kind. word. Such use of the Tongue will make our school mates dislike us, and shun our com pany, and dislike our ways when if we could, use the Tongue in a proper manner we would be respected. Then we should use it right. To remember a word may ruin us for. a-life may break school set a neighborhood in a broil never to stop or it may make inake a family miserable for life.' All of this trouble may be caused by the imprope use of the Tongue. How often do school-mates, who should be the happiest of beings, get in to dif ficulties just for using this member of the body too hastily? One word brings on another, until conscience whispers, enough. We often debar ourselves of much pleasure, by mar ing. MAXWELL We are all very grateful for the rain. It has helped, us out . wonder fully. We just finished stacking a fine crop of oats last Saturday. It was very hot, as you will agree. Our boys got hot and tired, but the swimming hole and a ,. watermelon cutting afforded some compensation after the work was done. We have lots of blackberries and a big wood pile. The boys would like to fill orders- for their friends wood or berries if they will let them know of their , wants. School begins Monday. The vaca- tion has been all too short and there is lots of work yet to be done on the farm. The help of the boys will be much missed. We have a saw mill running on the place and hope to -use some of the output in making some very much needed repairs. ' . Come out and see us. We are al 7fcys glad to welcome our friends. i Maxwell boys have started back school after much adjusting of new overalls and. searching about .for the proper books. The canning season is on and Maxwell is still up-to-the-ears in work. Mrs. Crockett, Nancy Jane, Miss Eleanor Lucas, Mrs. W. B. McGuire and the Misses Margeret and Vir ginia McGuire paid a visit to Mon- treat and the Woman's Auxiliary training school which has just closed. Miss Eleanor Lucas is now visiting her mother at Maxwell. It has been proved beyond a doubt , that Bermuda onions are a natural crop for this section. They grew as big as saucers and were of excellent quality.
