Notes from the
Baptist Church
Here it is; what do you think of
it? Pupils on time 171, teachers
present 10, collection $44.53, dea
cons present 7. The Business Men
had the largest number, with the
Young Men following with 29, and
the Dorcas Class with 23. Far be
low what it was last Sunday week.
Our Training School for Teachers
was not what we expected, but it
was far from a failure. Sixteen
took the work. Those who took it
were enthusiastic about it. That is
always the way, people do not
know just what it means, and there
fore have no interest in it. Indiffer
ence or lack of interest has done
much harm to the churches in their
program.
The Business Men’s Class has ap- ■
pointed a committee of five to look
after the absent members during
the week. Now, Brother President,
ask for a report every Sunday morn
ing from this committee, and you
will get service. In addition, they
have a sick committee, which is fine.
Look out for something doing now,
boys.
We had a called meeting of the
Officers’ Council last Friday even
ing. The following recommenda
tions were made to the church: That
the school be graded up to and in
cluding the Intermediate Depart
ment. Recommended further, that
the church adopt the Standard as
our goal. Have an annual Promotion
Day, with special program. Supply
every teacher with maps for the
larger grades. Secure a blackboard
for the General Secretary’s report,
based on the 6-point record system.
Several have indicated a desire to
pursue the work further of training.
They have as their goal the gold seal.
Now, that is the right kind of ambi
tion for one to have, even if it
. forces us to lay aside something else.
The work of teaching the people is
by far more important than any
thing we can do.
Suppose every class should meet
on the outside and remain there
until the hour for class meeting,
what kind of Bible School would we
have? At first it was a few and
from one class. Now other classes
have caught the habit and the mem
bers of three other classes are doing
likewise. Here is the place for the
teacher to do some real work, and
it all depends on the teacher, too.
The class will follow the teacher
every time. How about it, dear
teacher, are you guilty of that?
The noise is bad some time dur
ing the hours of service. We hope
the city government will enforce the
ordinance of cut-outs on cars a lit
tle more. Occasionally some will
get a Ford doing all kinds of stunts
right in front of the church, and the
windows open makes it bad.
' Mrs. J. W. Saxon has been confined
to her room for more than a week
now with sickness. She is slightly
better at this writing, and we hope
she will continue to improve. Du-
Pont Strong is improving fast in the
hospital in Bainbridge.
The pastor will be engaged in a
series of revival services at Sow
hatchee church this week. We do
not know how long the meeting will
continue, but as long as the interest
Justifies it. Brother Bush will have
charge of the music. Pray for us.
In the services last Sunday morn
ing there were six children present.
The other members of the congre
gation were grown people. The
young people were conspicuous by
their absence. What kind of church
attendants will the future genera
tions be if they follow the example
of the present?
The Superintendent finds just
cause for complaint of the continued
absence of the children in the Pri
mary and Beginners Departments. It
might be if a thorough investigation
was made we would find absent
teachers make absent pupils. Have
you thought of that as a cause?
Now that our orchestra has taken
on new life, we suggest that we
have a 20 minute musical concert
before the evening services on Sun
day evening. How about it, mem
bers of the orchestra?
The regular services Sunday
morning and evening. At the morn
ing hour we will observe the Lord’s
Supper with special program of mu
sic. The regular evening service at
8 o’clock.

NOTES FROM PINE VIEW
BAPTIST CHURCH
The new church bulletin, “Pine
Burr,” is filling a good purpose in
the life of the church. It carries all
the necessary announcements, the
program for the Sunday services, and
the inside pages are filled with in
teresting news items of Southern
Baptists. Secure a copy of this
paper at the church and know what
is being done by our people.
The pastor is in a meeting this
week at Newton. He is being as
sisted by Rev. P. C. Barkley, of
Lakeland, Fla. Much interest is be
ing shown in the meeting. Cottage
prayer meetings have been held, the
church repainted, new song books
secured, and much advertising done
to make this meeting the best New
ton has ever had.
Be praying now for the meeting
which will begin in our church on
July 25. This meeting will continue
for two weeks. A Daily Vacation
Bible School will be held in connec
tion with the meeting for all the
young folks of the church.
One of the youngest organizations
in the church, and yet one of the
best, is the Junior B. Y. P. U. These
young people will no doubt be A-l
for this quarter. They are growing
steadily. Fine, young folks, keep
working!
The Sunday School has been
much better lately. We are urging
all the members of the church es
pecially to attend the teaching ser
vice of the church. The service
begins promptly at 10 a. m.
The deacons will hold their regu
lar monthly meeting at the home of
Deacon J. W. Anderson. They will
go there for dinner, and have the
meeting as soon after dinner as pos
sible. Several matters of import
ance will be discussed. All deacons
and members of the advisory board
are urged to be present.
The pastor will begin a series of
■sermons Saturday morning at the
eleven o’clock hour on “Paul’s Let
ters.” The first message will be on
“Paul’s Letter for the Church at
[Colossae.” The attendance at the
■ Saturday service has not been the
best. Won’t you be there Saturday
morning?
The regular communion service
will be held Sunday morning, with a
i special message on the Lord’s Sup
per. ~
The Sunday night service will
mark the first installation service of
B. Y. P. U. officers. A special pro
gram is being arranged. There will
|be several short talks and special
music. Miss Mabel McLendon is the
I president-elect. Bright hopes are

HIGH SPOTS IN LAST
MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR
Here are some outstanding recom
mendations in the farewell message
of Governor Walker:
1. Establishment of a permanent
crime commission to study causes of
crime and bring order out of chaos
in methods of handling the crimi
nal; to suggest amendments to
criminal laws and such changes in
the rules of evidence as will lessen
crime and to plan a penitentiary
system where prisoners may receive
educational and vocational training
under proper moral and spiritual
surroundings.
2. Establishment of a permanent
commission on government efficien
cy, primarily with the views of co
ordinating 100 state agencies into a
few departments.
3. An unbiased and thorough sur
vey of our university system.
4. Receipt and disbursement of all
funds by one state agency instead of
by an increasing number of agencies,
causing confusion in fiscal affairs.
5. Removal of “handicaps” under
which Governor now operates and
the mention of three remedies sug
gested: (a) a four-year term for
Governor; (b) convening of Legisla
ture one year after inauguration;
(c) a 10-day session for inauguration
and organization to be followed by a
recess of at least six months.
6. Strengthening of laws to pro
vide facilities for education, health,
and social welfare in order to ac
complish the task of decentralizing
industries and distributing factories
throughout the state.
7. Tax reforms that would enable
the state to collect from every man
an amount according to his ability
and distribute to every county ac-
I cording to its needs, rather than on
| the basis of census.
8. Reorganization of State High
way Department to permit imme
diate construction of a state system
of roads under unified management;
use of all gasoline and automobile
taxes on this system and the relief
of counties from bonding themselves
for statd roads.
9. Creation of an adequate state
equalization fund for the common
schools, abolition of the independent
municipal school system and elimina
tion of politics in selection of state
and county school officials.
10. Adoption of laws providing
adequate protection for dependent,
neglected and delinquent children.
11. Reorganization of the State
Agricultural Department. The im-
j mediate adoption of efficient tests
| for gasoline and reduction of the
expensive army of fertilizer and gas
loline inspectors.
Water, according to a medical
writer, is the only drink of which
one never gets tired. This is corrob
orated by a Scotchman we know of,
who has made a life-long practice of
I putting a drop or two of it in his
i whiskey.—Pharmacal Advance.

Was In
Misery
All Over
"I was in a dreadfully run
down condition," says Mrs. Chas.
L. Lacroix, of Montgomery, La.
”1 suffered a great deal of pain.
I was in misery all over. I
could not sit up and I could not
lie down. I couldn’t sleep and
at times I wool'’ have dreadful
vomiting spells. The aches and
pains seemed to cover my whole
body.
"One night my husband
brought me home six bottles of
Cardui and I began to take it
I could tell that I was improv
ing from the first bottle, but I
kept on taking the medicine, for
I knew that I needed a tonic
that would bui'd me up and
strengthen me where I was
weak and run-d own. That is
exactly what Cardui did for me.
After I had finished the six bot
tles I felt fine.
"I feel truly thankful for what
Cardui has done for me, for I
could not have gone on living in
the desperate condition I was in.”
