MARY SHARP REUNION.
Many will recall with pleasure the
rein ion of Mary Sharp students held
in Murfreesboro In May, 1910, In connection
with the Commencement of
Tennessee College. At that time an
Alumnae Association was organized
and a decision was reached to make
the reunion feature an annual event.
Accordingly there was a meeting held
in Murfreesbro In June, 1911, but the
attendance was not large.
It was then decided to hold the reunion
for 1912 In dear old Winchester,
so near to the hearts of all Mary
Sharp students. The plans have been
made to hold this meeting *n Winchester
on Prldav and Saturday, July
12th and 13th. A large attendance la
fully expected. A splendid program
will he carried sut.
Each class is being urged to have
as many representatives as possible,
and the one having the largest attendance
will be designated as the Banner
Class. No more enjoyable occasion
could be anticipated than for school
friends to -meet on the old play grounds
and live over again the happy days of
girlhrcd.
i iiejr win come irom an sections and
each one will certainly find a chum of
her school days. Every person who
ever attended Mary Sharp College is
invited and urged to attend. You may

"After Fifty Years. 1861-1911" is the
title of a pamphlet containing three
fine addresses delivered before the
Synod of Mississippi In celebration of
the semi-centennial of the Southern
Presbyterian Church. The first and
longest address is that of Rev. Dr. C.
W. Grafton, on "The Heritage and
Testimony of the Southern Presbyterian
Church." It tells In language clear
and strong of the cardinal principles
on which our church was founded, in
its distinctive life, as the belief In the
Bible as the inspired word, and in the
Presbyterian system of church government
as the God-glven form of the
church's outward life. These two principles
are unfolded and shown to be
our heritage. The testimony of the
church to the ruling eldership and the

Secretary Marion Lawrence. The

$2.00 net, postage 12 cents.
In "Housing the Sunday School" we
have unfolded the House of God in History
as a means for worship and work;
the essential features of a good church
building (utility, stability, beauty), and,
of course, of en adequate Sunday
echool building; the steps necessary to
secure a new and completed building
(realise the need; create sentiment;
decide tentatively; appoint: building
committee; eneaee an architect! build
Ing committee and architect confer often;
secure a lot; count the cost; draw
the plans; report to congregation and
ask for final action; get the money; let
the contract; secure proper supervision
during construction; honorably dedicate
It to <3od's service); the four distinctive
types of church and Sunday
school buildings illustrated; the Akron
plan of building; a model departmental
building; remodeling present building
for Sunday school purposes; class
rooms; department rooms, and "My
Ideal Sunday School Building." A
marvel of multnm In parvo.
For clearness of statement, for wfdeness
of survey, for distinctness of outs,
for practicalness of design, for helpfulness
of suggestion, for thorough
conversance with needs, for meeting of
wide-spread demand, the far-seeing
author In this book puts the Chtircb
universal with Its vast Sunday school
constituency under the most lasting
obligations. No pastor or Superintendent,
no building committee whether of
church or Sunday school can afford to
be without It. Its fertility of suggestion
In building Ideas Is great.

The New Testament Law of Marriage
and Divorce. By Wm. E. Boggs, D.
D., LL. D. Pp. 68.
Few subjects are of more Interest or
Importance at this time to church and
state than that of marriage and divorce.
This pamphlet of marked scholarshlD
and ability by one of our older and
most honored ministers challenges attention.
The teachings of the Confession
of Faith on. this subject! are
brought to the test of scripture and
reason, and as the author himself declares,
"The result has been: (1) The
discovery of some remnants of that
state-church or Ch^stlan Theocracy
that ten great and good men of the
Westminster Assembly hoped, with the
aid of the Long Parliament, to set up
in Great Britain, in the civil processes
apparent in SeotioiTB v and vl of Chapter
xxiv of our Confession of Faith. (2)
Thaf in withholding the privilege of a
subsequent marriage from the "offending
party." When the marriage has
been regularly dissolved or annulled on
tho ground of adultery, our fathers
have gone beyond the proof-texts cited
by them for the procedure, and have inflicted
a penalty wholly at variance wtth
the provisions of our Book of Church
Order. (3) That In their interpretation
of 1 Cor. 7:15 they have gone contrary
to the uniform usage of the word
'bondage,' not only in our secular
writers, but especially in the employment
of the word by the tranalhtors
(695) 19
of tiie noble version of 1611, in more
tb&n thirty instances in the English
Bible; that they have in like manner
set aside and violated the established
usage by the New Testament writers
of the Greek verb douloo, and of all of
its kindred terms, as also of its usage
in classical Greek, so far as this last
has been traced with the aid of Greek
lexicons. And (4) That in claiming iho
condition or state of the Christian
partner in a "mixed marriage" at Corinth
(which Paul expressed by dedoulozai,
in the Perfect Passive Indicative,
to be occasioned or caused by the act
of desertion, which Paul writes In the
present tense, Indicative, Middle?
chorizetai.) They have unconsciously
violated the Greex syntax In a manner
that is wholly inadmissible-^in fact,
have asserted that the effect can and
does exist prior In the order of time to
its own cause, which is manifestly impossible."

The price of the pamphlet is 25 cts.,
and can be had from the Committee of

This Interesting volume is really, Its
publishers announce 4t, a supplement
to the famous work of the author's
father, 'The Land and the Book." It
is not an attempt at an exhaustive
study of the patriarchs named, but is a
most Interesting and suggestive study
of Incidents in their career and especially
as these incidents are illustrated
in the people and geography of the
Bible lands to-day. The study of the
descendants of Ishmael is of special
aiuc, aim ii in maae one of present
interest by its bearing, so carefully
shown, upon the Mohammedans.
To these who love much, muoh is given
and forgiven.
DOCTOR'S SHIFT.
Now Gets Hong Without It.
A physician says: "Until last fall 1
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the moat
had passed from the stomach.
"Last fell I began the use of GrapcNnts
for breakfast and very soon found
I could do without meat, for my body
got all the nourishment necessary from
the Grane-Nuts and since then I have
not had indigestion and ?m feeling better
and have dnci eased In weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all my patients Buffering from
indigestion or over-feeding and also for
those recovering from disease where I
want a food easy to take and certain to
digest and which will not overtax t.ie
stomach.
"I always find the results I look for
When I prescribe Grape-Nuts. F*or
ethical reasons plase omit my name."
Name given by mall toy Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful amount
of nutriment, and the easy digestion of
Grape-Nuts is not hard to find.
In the Hret place, the starchy part of
the wheat and barley goes thitough various
processes of cooking, to perfectly
change the starch into dextrose or
grapesugar, in which state it is ready
to be easily absorbed by the blood.
The parts In the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use of for rebuilding
brain and nerve centres are
retained in this* remarkable food, and
thus the human body Is supplied with
the powerful strength -producers, so
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for a week or 10
days.
"There's a reason," and it is explained
in the little book, "The Road to Wellvtlle,"
in pk(S.
Ever read the above letter! A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
