Some time ago we said that the only way you could get Cash Baggett into a garden was to blindfold him and back him in. Some time after that he told us that if we would come down and look at his Irish potato patch he felt sure we would apologize for what we said about him. We told him that if his potato patch was good as he said it was, we would bei glad to apologize. We admit Cash has a good patch, and were about to apologize, when we found out or good authority that he hasn’t done a single thing towards that pota to patch. We can prove by the very best evidence that Mrs. Baggett bought tin! potatos, that she planted them, that she has worked them, and that the only thing Cash has done was to eat his full share after they were cook ed by Mrs. Baggett and put on the ta ble. It's a plain case of “We killed the bdar.” A Great Catastrophe At Camden, S. C.

The Cook or the Book. “Hear the truth: The early church prayed in the upper room, but tin twentieth century church cooks in supper room. Today tlie supper room has taken the place of the upper room. Flay has taken the place of prayer, aim feasting thd place of fasting. Then 1 are more full stomachs m tlie chuuh than there are pended knees and brok en hearts. There is more fire in the kitchen range than there is in tlie church pulpit. When you build a fire in the church kitchen, it often, it not altogether, put out the fire in the pul pit And ice cream chills the fervor of the' spiritual life. The early Christians were not cooking in tin* supper room the day the Holy Ghost came, hut they were praying in the upper room. They were not waiting on tables, but they were waiting on God. They were not waiting for the tire from tin* stove, but for the fire from above. They were de tained by the command of God. and not, entertained by tin* cunning of men. They were filled with the Holy Ghost, and not stuffed with stew or roast. Oh, we would like to sis* the cooking squad put out, and tin* praying band put in; less liam and sham, and more heaven. Less jie and more piety. Less use of the cook and more use of the old Book. “Put out the fin* in the church stove, and build it in the church altar. More love and more life. FGwer dinners, and get after the sinners. Let us have a church full of servers, serving God and waiting for His dear Son from heaven!” , , —Christian Index.
