BULL'S EYE
Krditor and Qentraf j*onager
Wf* 1 WILL ROCERS
Another ‘Bull’ Durham adver
tisement by Will Rogers, Zieg
feld Follies and screen star, and
leading American humorist.
More coming. Watch for them.
I WANT it distinctly under
stood that this is an ad.
"What’s more, it’s one of my
first attempts. Of course,
the logical question is what
does Will Rogers know about
writing an ad? My answer
is simple—everything!
The first thing any ad
writer has got to know is
how to get paid. I found
that out. The first letters
of the alphabet I learned
were P. I. A. —that means
Pay in Advance.
The real truth about why
I started writing ads for
these people is that I got
a family kicking the toes
out of lots of shoes daily and
I read where my employers
sold enough of their stuff so
that if the bags were laid
end to end they would
stretch further than from
Oklahoma to Yokohama —
and that’s some stretch. So
I think this looks good to
me. That’s why I signed
up. I hope it turns into a
steady job. At any rate, I’ll
have another piece here two
weeks from now.
P. S. I like to forgot to tell you what I
was advertising. It’s ‘Bull* Durham. I
don’t smoke it myself. I don’t smoke
anything, but somebody does or else what
happened to all those bags?
IT’S MORE ECONOMICAL
of course, but the real
reason thousands of
he-men swear by good
ol’ ‘Bull’ Durnarn is
because forsheer good
ness of flavor, you just
can’t tie it.

PARABLE OF THE ROSES
We returned after we had been ab
sent, and we came unto the home of
the daughter of Keturah. And she
and her husband and her children
were glad to behold us, and we also
were glad. And there was a ring at
the door, and a lad stood there with
a Box of Roses. And within the
Box was a card that said, These are
for Keturah, because we love her.
And there came another lad with an
other Box of Roses. And within was
a Card that said, There is no woman
that I love more, therefore do I send
to Keturah these Roses. And there
came yet another lad, with another
Box of Roses, and there was a card
that said things like unto these.
And Keturah said, Every' day do I
thank God for my Friends, and I
thank Him for the love of those who
sent these Flowers.
Now I walked abroad for an hour,
and when I returned the Roses had
been placed in Vases, and stood in
Various Places. And the Little Sis
ter of the daughter of the daughter
of Keturah took my hand, and led
me from one to another of them.
And this is what she said:
Grandpa, see what Santa Claus
sent me for a Birthday Present.
Now it was not the time for Santa
Claus, neither was it her birthday,
but her reckoning of the joys of life
Despiseth Chronology. And the
Roses had been sent unto Keturah,
but that fact troubled the little dam
sel not at all. Santa Claus had sent
her those Roses for her birthday.
It may be there are some Stupid
Folk in the world who suppose that
I ought in Strict Accuracy to. have
informed the Little Damsel that the
Roses were not hers; but they are
mistaken. The Roses were none the
less Keturah’s for being also the
Birthday Gift of Santa Claus to the
Little Sister of the daughter of the
daughter of Keturah.
Oh, beloved, learn if thou canst to
enter the Kingdom of God as a Little
Child. Limit not thy possessions to
the meager hoard which the Tax Col
lector can discover as belonging unto
thee. All things are thine. Paul and
Cephas and Apollos and every good
thing is thine. And every day is thy
Birthday as a child of God, and Santa
Claus doth still visit good boys and
girls at any time of the year and at
any period of their life if their eyes
be not holden by the Meager Proba
bilities of Ordinary Existence.
Beloved, this Parable I send unto
thee as a Rose for thy Birthday. All
things are thine. —New York Watch

Resolutions on the Death
Of Mrs. L L. Adams
Mary Ella Harris was bom Octo
ber 18, 1891; joined Antioch Bap
tist church in 1910, under the pas
torate of Rev. W. U. Kendrick; mar
ried E. L. Adams in 1910; died De
cember 3, 1924.
It is with deep regret and sore
hearts that we recognize and record
the death of our sister and co-labor
er, Mrs. E. L. Adams, being loved
and esteemed by all who knew her,
and her going will remove from our
church a most loyal and effective
unit. She never failed to respond to
the call of dutj, being in her sweet
and modest way an inspiration to us
all. Words are inadequate to ex
press our sympathy to her bereaved
husband and six children, whom God
in His infinite mercy had placed in
her care.
Therefore, be it Resolved,
Ist. That in their agony of grief
we can only point them to her Sa
viour to trust as she did and smile
through their tears and meet mother
beyond the stars.
2nd. That a copy of these resolu
tions be recorded on our church
record and a copy be sent the News-
Gazette for publication.
Respectfully submitted,

A GREAT SURGEON
AND SCIENTIST WHO
BRIEVES IN THE BIBLE
Can a really scientific man believe
the Bible? Dr. Howard A. Kelly is
entitled to answer. His scientific
record and standing today are
equalled by few living men. After
a brilliant career as Professor of
Gynecology at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and surgeon of world-wide
reputation, he is now giving himself
to special research while continuing
as Emeritus Professor at Johns Hop
kins and conducting his personal
practise. With degrees from sev
eral universities, including Aberdeen
and Pennsylvania, Dr. Kelly has been
honored by scientific societies
throughout the civilized world, is an
authority on radium, and is Honor
ary Curator in the Division of Rep
tiles and Amphibians of the Universi
ty of Michigan. He is an honored
member of scientific or medical so
cieties in Scotland, Ireland, Italy,
Germany, France, Roumania and
Russia. He is the author of stand
ard works in surgery and medicine,
and of hundreds of articles in medi
cal journals.
And Dr. Kelly believes the Bible,
because he has tested it in rigidly
scientific ways and finds that it meets
every test. “I have never in my
whole life met a man who really
knew the Bible and rejected it,” he
says. He gives from one to four
hours a day to his own Bible study.
He conducts a large Bible class every
Sunday in Baltimore. •
Some years ago he was seriously
troubled by the Higher Criticism.
Then he studied his way out of it by
making the Bible his text-book of re
ligion exactly as he would use any
text-book in science. Today he
knows that the whole Bible is the
very word of God, and its every
precious doctrine vital to life and
happiness.
The full, personal, intimate, auto
biographical testimony of such a
scientist is deeded today as never
before. The “Science League of
America,” recently formed, is de
nouncing the Bible and saying that
science alone is the “savior of man
kind.” It declares: “We must have
a confidence in the natural that will
not leave room for one jot or tittle
of faith in the supernatural.” Dr.
Kelly knows otherwise. At the in
vitation of The Sunday School Times
(1031 Walnut Street, Philadelphia)
he is preparing for that journal his
own full confession of faith. He
will begin by telling how he came
out of his uncertainty concerning the
critical attacks on the Bible into his
present unshakable convictions, and
will then give his reasons for believ
ing in the Great Doctrines of the
Christian Faith. Thus he will write
the following seven articles:
How I Came to My Present Faith.
Why I Believe the Whole Bible is
True.
Why I Believe that Jesus Christ h
God.
Why I Believe in the Virgin Birth
of Jesus.
Why I Believe in the Blood Atone
ment.
Why I believe in the Bodily Resur
rection.
Why I Believe Christ is Coming
Again.
There has been no contribution
like this from any other outstanding
scientific leader in our generation.
It is an event of stupendous import
ance in these days of confusion, un
certainty, and outspoken denial by
men who command respect in every
thing but their faith.
Dr. Kelly’s testimony cannot be
ignored. It cannot be discounted. It
cannot be ridiculed. Those who re
ject God’s Word will disagree with
him. Those who believe God’s Word
will rejoice that he was raised up
"for such a time a3 this.’’

As the number of subscrib

Pine-Tar and Honey
Still Best for Chest
Colds and Cougfaf
Our mothers and grandmothers would
never be without pine tar syrup in the
house for coughs, chest colds, etc. This
was many years ago, but modern medi
cine has never been able to improve on
this time-tested remedy. Doctors say the pin*
tar is hard to boat lor quickly loosening and
removing the phlegm and congestion that are
the actual cause of the cough. At the same
time pine-tar and honey soon soothe and heal
all irritation and soreness.
The kind that has been used with never fail
ing success in thousands of families for year*
Is that known as Dr. Deli's Pine-Tar Honey.
This is scientifically compounded of just the
right proportions of pine-tar, honey and other
quick-acting, healing ingredients which the
best doctors nave found to aid in quick relief.
It contains absolutely no opiates, narcotics or
harmful drugs, so can be given to young chil
dren—fine for spasmodic croup. It tastes good,
too. If you want the best, a medicine that often
slops the severest cough overnight, be sure
you get L>r. Dell's Pine-Tar Honey. It costa
only 30c at any good druggists.
