A Syrup Marketing Organization Last week we published an ar ticle by ‘.‘Citizen”, calling attention to the importance of some organi zation to provide a better market for our Georgia Cane Syrup.

HAUL VISITS GRADY COUNTY An Appeal to the Chiireh- ss of Christ in America. A message that has just been sent out by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America is startling with, facts relative to conditions in those countries that have been devastated by the Eur opium war. No adequate concep tion is had by our people of the really horrible state of privatation to which millions of [Jeople in thou* countries have eoine. We would be glad for all our readers to have access* to the figures that have been gathered at first hand by the men that have been sent over to ascertain the situation. In Belgium Northern France, Serbia, Poland and East Prussia there are possibly t wenty five million people that are facing the direst privations, and many of them will be saved from actual starvation only by the timely assistance of .those on whom the horrors of war have nof fallen, The. Federal Council of tho Churches of Christ in America be lieves that in the present. situation that American Christianity, hus an opportunity, and a test. The need is a most urgent one, and they be lieve that if our churches meet it in the true spirit of brotherhood, that it will prepare them to pay the vital part that belongs to them in t he Period of Reconstruction and Reconciliation that must follow the close of tho war.; Next Sunday May the 28th has been fixed by the. Federal Council as a day on which they have asked tlie churches to take up tho matter of bringin the necessity of the situa tion.before tho congregations. They state that any offering made may be dircctcil to go to the sufferrs of any one of tho countries desired. Judge. W. M.

He stress ed the importance of unselfishness andhoroic service on the part of the young men and women.
