nr * v flhe 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.

Ta - . , , 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 man-Examiner. Resolutions on the Death Of Mrs. L L.

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.

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.’’ HEADS BIG CHEWING GUM CORPORATION Mr. P. K. Wrigley has been elected president of the Wm.

The Bank of Service ers must install additional switchboard and other facili ties that these new subscribers may be served. . : As the number of subscrib ers increases, the service grows in value and in scope, and the plant additions per telephone cost more each succeeding year. This growth leads ulti mately to a plant investment that must earn a higher return in revenue per telephone. That telephone subscribers receive more for the money they spend for telephone serv ice than for any comparable service or commodity is due to the efficiency of the Bell Sys tem organization in Georgia and elsewhere.
