Each wants to win one of the three prizes offered by Winder National Bank for tlie first, second or third best essay written by the children under eighteen of the public schools and sub mitted not later than April Ist. With a subject so stirring and so sig nificant as "George Washington” some masterpieces will surely result, and the Judges will have the usual difficul ty in selecting the winners.

LAW ENFORCEMENT, DEMONSTRATION Five Hundred People Plralge Them selves As In Favor of Upholding The Law. ,* A remarkablq demonstration took place at the close of the Methodist church, when over five hundred people pledged their support to the enforce ment of tlie law, especially the eigh teenth amendment. The serviee itself was full of thrills, and a great congre gation that filled the auditorium, with many unable to gain admittance, lis tened to tlie stirring appeal of the pas tor, Rev. L. W. Collins, in his second sermon on “Wake Up, America.” The speaker said flint the worst men ace to American life to-day was not any new or erroneous belief, but the lack of any belief whatsoever. “This nation, which should be the bulwark of Protestantism is of little service to the cause of Christ because of the indifference of the great mass of the people. We are becoming a nation of pagans. “The two great characteristics of pa ganism are lawlessness and immorality. The cave man respected no law outside of the law of force, and took posses sion, as he was able of anything that tic coveted. The pagan wallowed in sensuality, and lived entirely for phy sical enjoyment. When tlie Roman Em pire forsook its gods, lost faith in iis rulers, departed from the simplicity of tiieir early days, and grew luwless and corrupt, they became weak and were easily overpowered by the northern bar barians.” In scathing terms, the preacher com pared these conditions with American life to-day; the loss of respect, for tlie law, the carnival of crime in our cit ies that had earned for us tlie title of “the most lawless nation on the globe.” “Crime has increased four hun dred per cent in nine years and these conditions will not right themselvPN. The Christian forces must unite to see that those responsible are restrained from destroying the republic. Immor ality is increasing at an alarming rate. If we are not as bad as the ancient pagans, we are going in that direction with tremendous velocity. The sug gestive movie, immodest dress, tlie modern dance, and lack of parental con trol over unformed lives were given as some of the causes. “Is there no reason here for alarm?” asked the preacher, as he plead for a revival of righteous liviitg and of a return to the altars of God. “Pagan ism's worst crime is its rejection of Christ, without whom we cannot hope to retain respeet for law, virtue, or the altruistic spirit. The neglect of ttie Bible is perhaps the reason for all our woes.’ r The sermon concluded with n strict appeal for the enforcemqpt of tlie pro hibition law. The speaker rehearsed the evils of the saloon and told of the overwhelming vote that secured its banishment. Suddenly lie called out for every man, woman, hoy or girl who' would promise lo uphold this law, now the law of the land, and to aid ill its enforcement, in the presence of Al mighty God, to rise to their feet. It was an electrical moment. There was not the response of a few, nor any hes itation, whatsoever, hut tlie great con gregation rose as one man to the sing ing of "Am Ia Soldier of the Cross” and the National anthem. The challenge had gone out thru the week that if any dozen men in the churches would openly staud behind the officers of the law, that the boot legging could lie banished from tlie county. Here was a magnificent an swer to this question, not a mere dozen but a great multitude pledging to God and each other their determination to •<>• this thing through.” Practical measures have been proposed in the request for a mass meeting of all the men's clubs of the city at an early date, in an effort to mobilize the sev eral hundred men of the churches for the backing of every good cause in Winder, and the support of law and order throughout the county. This series of sermons will be con cluded next Kunday night with a con dition of the subject, “The Foes of our Own Household.” This sermon will deal especially with the enemies of the American home, and the pastor considers this the most important of the entire series.
