Mr. Morris though well past til-
allotted three score years and ten,
took the pulpit and after reading
the morning lesson, the chapter
containing his “golden text,"
preached a sermon that held his
Apdjance Interested for over ar
hour, making use here and there
of many personal Incidents of hi*
long and useful life.
HIS “GOLDEN
TEXT" GIVEN
Mr. Morris said that over fifty
yarn ago he picked out his **g.»ld-
text" nnd that the 5th and 6th
Verses of the third Proverbs hnd
served as tills text. They read ns
follows: “Trust In the Lord with
all thine heart; nnd lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all
thy-ways acknowledge him, and h«
Shall direct thy paths.’*
-His text was taken from the first
Chapter of John, "What manner of
Child shall he heT* This subject he
treated under three heads, first,
what we receive from nature, sec-
on, what we receive from educa*
tlong and third, what wo do with
what* we receive.

Emaciated many personnl Inel*

He showed that many of our trnlts

Pay One Dollar
And Insure the
Life of Your Dog
If you, Mr. Athenian, ©alue tho
life of your dog you had better
put a collar on it—preferably a
ollar with your name on it and a
tag.
W. H. Bruce, Athens dog catch
er, states that he is on the job now
looking out for homeless dogs.
Since Fidos can’t speak for them
selves he has to judge by looks
alone.
Therefore if you let your dog
go around looking like a canine
ragamuffin you are exposing him
to the danger of being made into
soap—for rumor has it that pound
dogs are made into soap. If you
have lost your dog and want to be
sure that you don't wash your
hands in his blood, call Mr. Bruce
at “Mrs. Alman's Store,” or the
V. C. Fertilizer Co., and inquire.
But don’t be too worried because

POPULAR STAGE
PLAY ON SCREEN
“Little Church Around the Cor
ner” Palace Tuesday.
'The Little Church ATound the
Corner,” coming to the Palace
Tuesday is a screen adaptation
from tho well-known stage play of
Charles Blaney. Clare Windsor
has the feature role and heads an
all-star cast.
The making of this picture by
Warner Brothers was done on a
stupendous scale and involved n
great,expense of money. A mine
was specially constructed at a cost
of $25,000, an exact reproduction
of a Pennsylvania mine; so real
istically was it reproduced that it
is said to deceive even the prac
ticed eye of mine engineers. It is
a workable mine save for the fact
that no coal beds are to be found
in the Hollywood lot adjoining the
studio where the scenes w,ere
taken.
“The Little Church Around the
Corner” is the story of David Gra
ham, who ministers to thq
and the girl he loves, Leila
ton. Leila is the daughter of a
millionaire mine owner who re
fuses to improve the. conditions of
the workers. David Is thrown into
a quandary, being tempted by his
rich associations to renounce the
poor, to whom his heart is bound.
A great strike, and a mob in an
ugly mood, bring on a dramatic
climax; so does an odd coincidence,
by which David is arrested for the
mur«r of a man who was Leila s
suitor. . • „ .
It Is a picture in which “the
course of true love never Tuns
smooth.” Claire Windsor's sup
porting cast Includes Kenneth
Harlan.
