The address dealt with the vital matter of Christian Education in several phases of its modem adapt ations. Not only the Sunday School, and the church, its Sab bath day ministries, bUl the larger application of the Kingdom forces to all days, and all situations, en* gaged the thought of the meeting. Many communities are now pro jecting the principles of Christian ity i into the week-day life of itt young people, and regard this ad*, vance as absolutely essential to any proper response to the needs and claims of this generation of i r youth. A&er full consideration and due counsel, it was aecided to defer the formal organization ‘ of the movement tiH next Sunday after noon, at • $ o’clock. At that time all the Sunday School workers of the Athens Methodist churches are called to meet at the First Methodist church to hear more about the movement and to con stitute formal organization of the Sunday School forces, for the work contemplated. It is earnestly urged that all the Sunday School workers designated shall make a special effort to be present and iake part in the vrganization, and get in line for the aggressive Sun day School movement in whose interest the 1 meeting is called.

(Mr. Holden has been in Augusta but 18 months, yet dur ing that time has placed his busi ness on such a substantial footing that it is recognized as one of the largest and most thriving concerns in Augusta. The Howard >Holden Motor Com pany owns a large plant on the 500 block of Broad street, where in addition to the large show rooms where Fords are exhibited, an up-to-date garage is operated. The' garage handles authorized Ford parts, and Is a fully author ized member of the big Ford chain. The show rooms and large dis play windows are attractive with the various displays of Ford cars apjl Fordson Tractors. ‘ His ability as a salesman and an automobile man is evidenced by the constant ly increasing business enjoyed by the Howard Holden Motor Com pany.

The market was 10 to 12 points oft fro mthe best around 2 o’clock wit hlrading quieter but the tone steady. Plead Guilty to Big Liquor Sale NEW YORK — Morgan E. Wil liam A.
