The good people of every city are
loth to enjoy their Christmas, New
Year or Thanksgiving bounties without
remembering Lazarus, Job and even the
Ishmaels of this day and generation.
Ti.me, talents and money are given to
them. Not only the Salvation Army,
the organized charities, but every
church, club and association do some
thing personal. The girls’ clubs con
nected with the Y. W. C. A. have cer
tain families that they plan for along
with their friends and relatives, and
take pleasure in going to the same ones
yearly.
One church that I know had thirty-
two sacks of flour among the bushels
of potatoes, sides of meat, piles of can
ned goods, sugar and soap, that were
brought instead of gifts to the scholars.
Othens I know did quite as much; the
members of these churches do not give
in any haphazard way. The women and
men hav^ their eyes open all the fall
and put down the names and addresses
of families, and a memorandum as to
whether actual food, as well as Christ
mas dainties and toys for the children
are needed Then on the morning be
fore Christmas he or ehe takes a basket
and fills it from the store at the foot
of the tree. The Sunday school classes
put the presents there instead of giving
to each other. There are men-’s classes
represented as well as the infant class
es, and each one decides what article
they can give. The men’s class decided
on flour in the church I am writing
about, and it was a pile too. Of course
a committee had charge of the affair,
,there must be order in all things.
< It is a sad, sad thing to find a des
titute family, and it’s pitiful to look
at a mam made in God’s image, dnd see
the ‘effects of want and destitution, to
say nothing of dissipation. In three-
fifths of the cases of destitute men,
fed at the long tables set for the home
less and hungry, on Christmas day, by
their own confession drink waxs the
cause of their downfall, one-fifth said
they could not get work because they
were too old. They failed to say why
they had not in their younger days put
aside for old-age, and about one-fifth
laid their troubles to sickness. We all
know that dissipation is a cause for
sickness 'too. So when It is summed up,
you can see what living a dissipated,
drunken life gives one.
I wondered just how many could
honestly say they ‘had no chance.’ Ce-
tainly many were th e victims of cir
cumstances beyond their control; but
think cf'the hundreds of men today in
homes of their own who commenced life
side by side with those who were fed
'by charity, yet they have kept honest
and industrious. Luck and pluck are
two cff the causes assigned, but don’t
you think real manhood a better w r ord?
I know there are men and women w T ho
seem to be pursued by every sort of
misfortune and such cases have re
ceived not only my closest attention
but my heartiest sympathy. I have
wondered where their weakness lay.
Was it lack of aggressiveness or deter^
ruination or the power to concentrate?
When I was quite a little girl I heard
one man say that another one made
good crops and when harvest time came
he lost his year’s labor by running
all over the country hunting a three-
liof* "fir*"other words, Tie never
finished his year’s wyk. Since I have
been grown I’ve seen men and women
lose more than a year’s work with all
sorts of visionary schemes. There is
hardly a reader of these lines who has
hot had a letter or an agent, telling
of some marvelous investment. The
leally marvelous investments find pur
chasers at Jiome. Don’t be tempted, the
men behind the advertisement are “fish
ing for suckers,” as they express it,
and the hook is often very cleverly
baited. Several times I have had
them to send me back my own signa
ture and tell me that the guess I made
had won a piece of silverware or cut-
glass, or a land lot a long way from
Georgia, and if I would send a certain
sum, anywhere from 60 cents to $10,
w,ey have priced it, I could get it.
New, I never “guess.” For one rea
son I am too busy to write all the let
ters I should, and another is because
I couldn’t hit the righthand if you
stood before m e and held both behind
you. A great many firms make a busi
ness of buying signatures and when
they have finished with them turn
them over to other firms. So if any
reader of this has wondered where the
various advertisers go* their names
thin may unravel the mystery.
1 sometimes think that the country
churches are not living up to their
privileges. I know that it is hard to
leave home, that roads are o£fcen bad
and that one is tired after the day’s
work, but the young people need some
where to go. The organized classes
could take time about and have pleas
ant things at the church, nothing that
would cast discredit on the house of
God, but debating^ societies, social af
fairs one every two or three months
send to some nearby town or city and
get a good speaker or musician and
keep things moving. Sell tickets if nec
essary, or raise the money as the occa
sion demands. The men’s class and
woman’s class might unite their efforts
or take it time about. And whatever
your do, don’t let class or creed come
in. Satan laughs every time that he
can stir up the class, or creed jealousy,
as some one expressed it, there must be
a navy in Christian warfare as well as
in military affairs. One never hears of
the United States sailors and soldiers
fighting each other. Unite the churches
if you can in these social affairs and
outwit Satan by winning lost souls, not
abusing the other denominations. 1
have been in neighborhoods where I
was frankly told .by some of the “crop
pers” that they were not welcome in
the community’s merry making. I tried
always, to convince them that they
were just sensitive and imagined things,
but the idea w^s there to stay unless
some of the cohnnunity proved more
hospitable; so I advise you to find all
the folks in the neighborhood, have the
church social and see that the timid
ones get there and are made welcome
and drawn into whatever is ^oing on.
Be a good mixer and your social will
help you hold the people, and another
point I want to stress is the fact that
the most eloquent* or witty individual
in Gorgia might be the speaker and the
meeting would amount to nothing unless
the people do their part. Christ’s every
day ministration was what made “the
common people hear him gladly.”
Do you remember Lowell’s picture of
the lovable, womanly woman?
“She doeth little kindnesses
Which most leave undone or despise;
For naught that sets one heart at ease.
Is low esteemed in her eyes.”
Most any of us can aspire to do the
little kindnesses, and that is what will
count in the great summing up that
must some day come to all of us. Do
you remember that beautiful remark
of Francis Willard’s? “I work like a
slave,” same discontented woman said
to her. “But you can work like a
queen,’- was Miss Willard’s reply.
Don’t let the glamour of the unusual
deceive you. make your work your hob
by just enough to do it cheerfully and
to the best of your ability and who
knows how much inspiration you may
be to your neighbor.
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.

ry Petition for Law to
State Legislature
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 7.—Has Hon.
IT. M. Elders, of Reidsville, and one of
til© most prominent politicians of Tatt
nall county, been converted to the cause
of woman suffrage? Miss Evelyn Nora-
Gon, a prominent worker ip the inter
est of equal suffrage and who is going
to start a campaign in Georgia t»
that end, says that he has. Mr. Elders
was in Savannah a short time ago an< *
met* Miss NoraGon, who talked woman
suffrage to him as she does every one
she meets.
“Mr. Elders was very attentive to
what I had to say,” said Miss NoraGon,
describing the interview, “and asked
that I send 500 woman suffrage but
tons to his home in Reidsville so that
he might distribute them among his
friends. I expect him to give me a
great deal of help in getting the equal
suffrage question before the people of
Georgia- I am going to try to have the
bill foV equal suffrage introduced at
the next session of the legislature.”
Miss NoraGon has some very promi
nent connections in Georgia and she
has interested all of them in her cam
paign. She expects to begin having Sa
vannah meetings in a short time and
to get many Chatham county men com
mitted to her new policy.

Before my marriage I lived in Evans

ivomanly trouble. I thought, at times,
that I would nearly die with pains in

THE TRAINED SUNDAY SCHOOL
TEACHER AND RURAL HOME.
The preservation of country life is a
national problems The rural home is
the center of national life; the mother
the cefiter of the home. To the perplex
ing problem, conservation of farm life,
the rural mother holds a golden key-
vision and service, but through ignor
ance and indifference it has become tar
nished and ineffective. The trained pri
mary Sunday school teacher should be
first aid in its u^e. She shares the
Master’s teleologic vision, his enthusi
asm for service. To her the call of the
country home is clear; the mother’s
need of an inspiring friend insistent; the
child’s potential good irresistible. To
aid the mother in the child’s develop
ment through home interest should be
her holy ambition, her primal effort.
Millet’s great painting, “The Angel-
us,” was at first called “The Potato
Digger,” and considered a* failure. At
last, one with poet’s soul discovered its
beauty and poetry, its name was
changed and now all know that it is
full of humble gratitude, loving faith
and worship of God.
To the average rural mother house
hold work is drudgery. She calls it
duty, commonplace and irksome. She
works, Puritan-like, through necessity,
not like the ancient Greek, for love of
work. Life to her is unlovely and
meaningless. The trained teacher
should awaken the mother’s post-soul
to a sense of life’s .divine beauty.
Through the teacher’s clarified vision,
the mother should see that the rural
home is the repository of the nation’s
real wealth—4ts child-life. She should
realize that through home duty she is
its guardian, and that the trust is
God-given. Then she would consecrate
herself to it. She would strive to prac
tice best methods of household manage"
ment and child-training learned from
newspapers, books, and acquaintances.
This would mean enlarged sympathies,
and enlightened mind. Duty would be
come privilege, service would be en
thusiastic and joyous. She would know
that heaven and earth impinge; that
willing spirit and intelligent service en*
due things thought perishable with an
enduring quality. Conscientiously do
ing God’s will, heart and life would
abound in deep gratitude, intense hu
mility, loving faith, God in Christ hav
ing become life’s center and circum
ference. Then the country home would
become a center of godliness and con
tent, the potent center God desires.
When the rural mother universally de
lights in household work and the up
building of home life, and experiences
its vitalizing power, the country home
will come into its own: It will when
the trained teacher holds the latchkey
to the rural mother’s heart. To pre
serve the country home we must train
the Sunday school teacher.

WHAT A MOTHER OF BOYS SAYS.
Dear Miss Thomas and Household: I
have been waiting patiently for the roll
to be called before coming again.
Mrs. Mills, you are right, i never in
all my life saw a mother too strict on
her children. I have been to places and
it looked as if the parents were living
with their children and they generally
had trouble. 1 was at a place not long
ago and the subject was up about pa
rents being too tight on their children.
None that are really amounting, to any
thing blamed their parents for making
them mind or making them stay at
home. One young man of the house
said: “I used to'think my father was
too tight on me; now I can’t thank him
enough for it.” '
I said: “Where do you suppose you
would have been today if he had let
you have your own way?”
He said: “Maybe in the chaingang,
or with my neck broken on the gal
lows.”
There sometimes are a few that have
been trained* up in the right way, in
their parental home, that have joined
in with bad company when they got out
into the world and had some bad end,
but they are exceptions.
Now, as for the sweetheart business,
I believe in girls and boys boih treating
each .other with politeness. I am sure
Mrs. Mills meant the little children, un
der fourteen. We often hear people tell
little children even under six that So-
and-So is his or her sweetheart and to
kiss her. It is a bad practice when
carefully followed. Among really cul
tured people there is very little of that
sort of conversation, they have other
things to talk about.
If a little child is taught to keejj- her
lips clean, that she must not let'Tom,
Dick? and Harry kiss her, there would
not be so many girls now bringing re
proach on their parents. So, with the
boys, they are actually taught to think
such conduct smart, and who is to
blame when the boundary line is over
stepped?
Engage yourself only after careful
and prayerful consideration. Let me
advise every one to marry for love, ev
ery married life has double trouble; but
with the true love you can be happy.
I don’t like to hear girls speak of
sweethearts, it disgusts boys so they
get turned against them. A boy is hard
to catch when you go to running after
him; if a girl runs from a boy he is
apt to run after her. I never thought it
required face cream and paint to make
any one look pretty. Pretty is as pretty
does. I saw a girl once that took so
much delight in using things on her
face that a good set of mustache and
sideburns grew heavily. Many a skin is
spoiled by putting all sorts of things
on the face.
As one’s heart is, the countenance is,
and mere beauty never held a single
friend.
George Eliot said, “There are few
prophets in the world, few sublimely
beautiful women, few heroes. I can’t af
ford to give all my love to such rari
ties. 1 want a great deal of these feel
ings for my fellow-men.” So does
Yours truly,
MRS. CLEO MAHAN.
God’s crowning act of creation was
man. Man is the most remarkable
creation that the world has even seen
or probably will see. There are many
things larger, there is nothing more
intricate, more complete, more myste
rious than man. And this is true no
matter what your viewpoint may be.
It is not our purpose this morning
to study man as a creation, however
interesting that study might be; but
rather to look into the purpose for
which he was created. This can prob
ably be best stated in the words of
the command which God gave man
when He created him. “Be fruitful,
and multiply and replenish the earth,
and subdue it: and have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.”
Let up stop and think a moment over
the outstanding words in this com
mand—subdue it, replenish it, have do
minion over it; what did God mean
by this?—Why did the earth have to
be subdued? why was it necessary to
replenish it? and why did God give
specific instructions that man should
have dominion over the earth, sky and
sea?
Well, the answer to ihesc questions
will be found as w^ consider again
Genesis 1:2. You will remember that
we pointed out last week tnat after
God had created the earth and the
heavens out of nothing, that the earth
became confusion and emptiness, and
that this expression was everywhere
else used in the Bible to express God’s
judgment upon sin; and that the sub
sequent verses express how God
brought order out of chads; and as the
crowning act of that rehabilitation of
the earth He created man, male and
female, in His own image, and gave
them the command as above.
The sin which God punished in this
v.ay was the rebellion of Satan and his
angels. After God had created the
heavens and the earth as recorded in
Genesis 1:1, He placed Satan, the high
est archangel in heaven, in control. He
desired independence, and later rebelled
to this end. It was this rebellion which
God punished by throwing the earth
into confusion and emptiness. As the
crowning act of His creation, He made
man after His own image, and placed
him in authority that he might subdue
the rebellion which Satan had led, that
he might replenish the earth, and that
he might have dominion over the earth
and the sky and the sea. He was cre
ated, therefore, to redeem God’s lost
heritage.
WORK WITHOUT WEARINESS.
While ail the earth wa3 good, God
showed His love for man by preparing
a garden for him which was particu
larly beautiful and which had every
thing in it thfLt man’s soul or body
could desire. It was pleasing to the
eye; but since God had created man
He knew what he needed. He knew
that happiness could not be had in Idle
ness, so He gavq him work to do. He
was ordered to take care of this gar
den, to tend and keep the garden of
the Lord. It was work that could be
done without weariness; work that he
would have real pleasure, real joy, in
doing.
Work is not a curse, but a blessing
in disguise. It is sin which makes
work hard and wearing—without sin
work is an unmixed blessing and joy.
IN GOD’S IMAGE.
This was a great job that God gave
man—it was more than a man’s job;
it was a job which a man could not
do without his helpmeet, and so God
made a helpmeet for him. Not one
that was apart from him, but one that
was really m a part of him. But
man could not have been able jto ac
complish this great work unless he had
been macle in the image of God. This
does not necessarily mean the physical
image, but the spiritual image. Undoubt
edly there were two distinct phases;
God formed his body out of the dust of
the ground, out of the same elements
that compose the plant and the soil—
carbon, iron and phosphorus, potassium,
sodium, calcium, magnesium and others.
But after the body had been formed
God breathed into man His own spirit,
thus making him in His likeness, and
not until then did man become a livin;
soul.
In the image of God this job would
not have been hard for man. Like God
he would have had no difficulty in sub
duing the earth and replenishing, it,
and maintaining dominion over it; but
the image was marred by sin and it is
only npw with great difficulty that we
subdue the forces of nature, and the
beasts of th<5 field, and -the birds of
the air. We have never yet subdued the
great animals of the sea, although the
sea itself has been made our servant.
CASTOR IA
Fot Infants and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
But, thank God, some day the image
which was marred shall be made again
—we shall sit on the throne, for God has
made us kings and priests under Him.
Even now, we’ve the privilege of royal
ty when we trust Him who came to do
for us, what we could not do for our
selves. And the time is coming when
we may work without weariness; in
fact, that time is here for those who
have learned how to put their trust in
God, and let Him work in them and
through them as He will. Do you know
that secret yet?

Dear Miss Thomas:
As the last hours of the year are
passing into history, I wish you, one
and all, a good, glad, useful New Year.
A year full of labor is ahead of we
farmers’ wives but how I do thank Our
Father that I have work to do, instead’
of seeking pleasure in a less useful
life. Householders, did you note the
thought in Miss Thomas’ prayer for us
the coming year?
In the hour of trials if we could all
remember the evangelistic advice,
“Have faith in God,” we could always
realize a brighter hour would yet come
for us.
Mrs, Mills, if we, as followers ot
Christ Jesus, adorn ourselves with
good works we will not have need of
paints and many of the other so-called
necessities of the present-day woman
kind.
A mother of Chatham county should
read and pray to understand the admo*-
THE NEW YEAR.
The New Year comes with promise
sweet,
Like some fair child on tripping feet,
And all the world a welcome flings
In gratitude for what it brings.
What doth it bring? Ah, who can say?
To some a dirge, to some a lay,
To some ‘a world of grief and care,
To others joys beyond compare.
And well it is we cannot know
The bitter grief, the blighting woe,
The golden dreams and fancies sweet
That follow fast its gladsome feet.
But hope expectant lures and gleams
Down in the future’s land of dreams,
And human hearts, all unaware,
Press on to what awaits them there.
And if the rosy dreams are dead,
And if the visions fair have fled.
Much grief is spared the’hungry soul
Until it finds the empty goal.
Then let each heart in humble love
Bow to the Wisdom from above
Thte,t reaches down to draw the veil
That hides the laughter, song and
wail.
—LEILA MAE WILSON.

ECZEMA CAN BE CTTRED TO STAY, and
when I say cured, I mean just what I say—>
C-U-R-E-D, and not merely patched up for
awhile, to return worse than before. Remem
ber I make this broad statement after putting
twelve years of my time on this one disease
and handling in the meantime nearly half of
a million oases of this dreadful disease. Now, 1
do not care what all you have used, nor how
many doctors have told you that you could not
be cured—all 1 ask is just a clmnce to show
you that I know what I am talking about.
If you will write me TODAY, I will send you
a FREE TRIAL of my mild, soothing, guaran
teed treatment that will convince you more la
n day than I or anyone else could in a month’s
time. If you are disgusted and discouraged,
just give me a chance to prove my claims. By
writing me today I behave you will enjoy more
rc-al comfort than you had ever thought this
world holds for you. Just try it and you will
see I am telling you the truth.
