How about a clean-up week for
Reynolds? Some of our back
streets and alleys are unsightly.
The hitching places down town
are not only unsightly, but unclean
and unsanitary as well. God has
removed all traces of last year’s
left-overs, putting down a new
carpet of green and a new canopy
of the same pleasing color spread
artistically over our beautiful
frame work of trees. A little
point—a little sweeping, a little
carting away of refuse will make
the part of the grounds that we
keep harmonize more beautifully
with His. What say you, City
Father-? What say you, good
women?
Reynolds has been honored by
having in her midst some of the
leading Sunday School workers
of the Southern Methodist church.
The occasion was the S. S. con
ference for the Columbus district.
Many inspirational talks were
made by men and women who are
posted in Sunday School affairs,
and much practical data given out
that would revolutionize Sunday
School work if put into operation.
The conference was presided over
by Mr. Streyer, district president.
Mr. Therrell, field secretary for
South Georgia conference, and
Mrs. Walden, elementary superin
tendent of the same, ably assisted
by Mr. Soence, conference secre
tary of North Carolina, made the
matter of Sunday School work
look like a real issue in church life.
Next Sunday With the
Reynolds Methodists,
We could not have the regular
Sunday school sessions last Sun
day on account of the District
Conference in progress at our
church; but let every member of
every class plan to be in your
places for both Sunday school and
the preaching services of next
Sunday. The preacher in charge
wiil seek to bring you a mes
sage at both the morning and
evening services that should be
of interest to every one,the young
and the old.
The change in the time, which
the government of our country
has ordered will not change our
hours of worship, in so far as the
morning services are concerned.
We will continue to meet for Sun
day school at 10:00 A. M., and for
the morning worship at 11:00 A.
M. The evening service will be
gin promptly at 8:30 until further
notice. J. H. ALLEN, P. C.

Sunday Schools
Forging to the Front
The Columbus District Sunday
^School Conferenc of the Colum
bus District Methodist Episcopal
Church South convened in the
Methodist church at Reynolds last
Sunday morning, at 9:30 o’clock,
and for two full days the feast of
good things flowed unceasingly.
The noted hospitality of the good
people of Reynolds sustained its
reputation, and everybody seem
ed to have a genuinely good
time.
The Sunday schools of the
district were fairly represented,
though some schools were not
represented at all. The talks and
addresses made were all of a
very high order, and showed that i
much care and study is being giv
en to Sunday school work in this
our day.
Mr. W. E. Streyer, Superinten
dent of the Sunday school at ]
Lumpkin, is the president of the
; District Sunday School Con
ference, and he presides with an
ease and dignity that made the
sessions of the confence delight
fully informal, as well as helpful.
Dr. J. H. Therrell, Sunday
School Field Secretary of the
South Georgia, together with two
other trained Sunday school |
workers, of wide study, viz., Pro- j
fessor H E Spence, Sunday school!
Field Secretary of the North
Carolina Conference, and Mrs.
Sam Walden of Savannah, who is
Elementary Superintendent for
the South Georgia Conference,
rendered very valuable service
in the work of the conference.
The officers of the District Sun
day School Conference for the
ensuing year are as follows: Mr.
W E Streyer, of Lumpkin, Ga.,
President; Mr. Lester Wilson,
Reynolds, Secretary-Treasurer;
Mr. T. Hicks Fort, Columbus,
Superintendent of the Wesley
Bible Class Department; Prof. J.
A. Pendergrast, Taibotton, Sup
erintendent Teacher Training
Work; Miss Julia Johnstone, Co
lumbus, Elementary Superinten
dent.
The date and place for the
holding of the next annual ses
sion of the conference was re
ferred to the executive commit
tee. The conference will prove
helpful to all our Sunday school
work if only our people will put
into practice the many helpful
suggestions brought by the ex
cellent addresses delivered.
A Bilious Attack.
When you. have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
inflames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only eost
a quarter.
Our National Ash Heap.
America annually registers a $250,-
XIO.OOO to §300,000,000 fire loss. This
.s several times in excess of any other
tOuntry’s contribution to the ash heap.

Services Announced
It is with pleasure, as well as
nth prayers for the religious life
f the community, that I am able
o say to the people of Reynolds,
nd the community hereabout,
hat our revival meeting will be
an on the second Sunday in this
nonth—April 14. We have the
iromise of both Brothers Winr.
oiner and Tom Stanford to be
nth us for assistance in the
(leeting. These men need no in-
roduction to the community, as
hey both have labored ir, the
eligious activitities of the com-
tunity—Brother Stanfbrd, as the
’residing Elder of the Columbus
listrict, only a few years since,
nd Brother Joiner as pastor of
he chuich here, during the
ears 1914-15-16. It goes without
aying that they will be warmly
;reeted when they arrive to re-
ew their efforts for our spiritual
welfare.
It is the earnest wish of the
Reynolds Methodists, the pastor
and official board in particular,
that everybody avail themselves
of the opportunity for spitual ad
vancement that will be afforded
by the meetings now so close at
hand. Watch the columns of the
Herald, next week for announce
ment as to the hours for service,
and remember that only one time
is recognized. We will run all
services by the governmet time.
Let all the members of the
Reynolds Methodist church en
deavor to so regulate business
and domestic affairs for the two
weeks immediately following tl
second Sunday in this month
to allow themselves and those i
their employ, to attend the ser
vices as regularly as practicable.
We earnestly hope that the busi
ness houses will arrange
to close thfeir doors at least one
hour each day for the services.

Flower Hints.
Always pull the leaves off the stalks
of flowers before putting them in wa
ter—those leaves which would be in
the water, not those above it. And with
flowers from any hard-stalked sort of
shrub the bark should be peeled off
as well as the leaves.
“Barebones Parliament.”
The Barebones parliament was a
nickname given to a British parlia
ment convened by Oliver Cromwell in
1653. Its enemies gave it that nick
name from the name of one of its
members, Praisegod Barbon, a leather
dealer and Puritan preacher of that
day.

Creation is great and cannot be un

The Heart Knows.
The understanding heart is what is
needed above all else. The affections
are cognitive p were no less than the
intellect. The heart knows truth by
its affinities, as the mind verifies it by
reasoning. What we feel, we know
by a consciousness more trustworthy
than logic.—A. P. Peabody.
Daily Optimistic Thought.
The infinitely little have a pride
hat is infinitely great.
