Election Day Next Wednesday
The fact that our county officers are to be nominated
next Wednesday without opposition is no reason
anyone should not exercise his, or her, right to vote.
In voting for those whom we desire to govern us we
have a privilege which few nations enjoy today and as
we vote we should once more give thanks to God there are
no soldiers around the ballot box and no dictator to have
us shot or imprisoned if we should not vote the way he
desires, or commands.
Our own country is one of the few places today in
this world where we can still vote the way we. desire and
also one of the very few places in which we can express
opinions of our own without fear of prosecution.
In view of this we should he pleased that we will
have the privilege of going to the polls next Wednesday
and placing the stainp of approval upon our county offi
cers who have served us so faithfully in the past.
The fact that they are without opposition is undis
puted proof of the efficient manner in which the affairs
of our county have been conducted. That there is no
taint upon any of them is proof of their honesty and in
tegrity so, as we approach the nominations of our county
officers let us each and every one, wherever possible, vote
and place our stamp of approval upon them.
As we vote we should also say a little prayer of
thanksgiving that our country is free of radicalism, dic
tatorship, and a 11 'its associated horrors.
Nothing lasts forever any more except the "tempo
rary” taxes levied by the legislature.

tianly got in the wrong pew.
New Water System
The Mayor and Council of Covington are to be con- i |
gratulated upon the steps they are taking to improve the
water supply in our city. This is a vita! system in regards
to health and sanitation, to say nothing of increased bene
fits for fire protection.
The proposed plan calls for a maximum of 1,800 gal
lons per minute where formerly only 800 gallons per min
ute was the capacity. It takes very little figuring to
show this will mean much where a large capacity for fire
is needed, also lack of pressure has handicapped many of
our homes for years.
Covington is growing and has added many homes in
the past few years and our consumption of water has in
creased materially. One addition was made tw’o or three
years ago but this has now been found inadequate to
continue to supply water for the increasing demand.
Lack of pressure in homes where upstairs bathrooms
are used has been a source of annoyance for a number
of years and the present plan calling for a reservoir built
on the highest point in the city will relieve this iq^onven
ience to a considerable extent.
This is indeed a forward step and we take this means
of expressing our compliments to the Mayor and Council
for this needed improvement.

Our Church And Fraternal Life
picture shows, radio , and other mod
The automobile, church
era inventions have been a serious threat to the
and fraternal life of our city and nation. Where formerly
churches and lodges of all kinds were attended by large
crowds the present day attendance is disappointing.
Some of our leading fraternal organizations are hav
ing mg a a hard naru time time to lu get a a sufficient x iv. number of members
present to put on the different degrees. Our churches , ^ are
• little more fortunate in that they nre fairly "ell at
tended, but not to the degree they deserve.
We believe in fraternal organizations. Any place
where men can gather and take on ties which bind them
closer together in ties of brotherhood is a good place for
a man to attend- All fraternal organizations in which we
have ever held membership place the belief in Almighty
God as one of their requisites for membership and as long
a<= fraternal organization.* are founded with this as one
of their cornerstones, there is very little fear of any harm
they may do.
We admit we have become lax m our attendance
as has everyone but w T e do hope we will soon be able to
once more resume our interest in and attendance upon
fraternal organizations in which we hold membership.
We attended Pace Masonic Lodge at Porterdale
Tuesday night and witnessed the conferring of the Master
Decree upon two candidates and as we watched this com
petent organization confer th,s degree we could not he p
but regrt that we have missed so many opportunities to
have our soul refreshed by the beautiful lesson it portrays.
After all there is very, little that can take the place of
b gathering of men together in a fraternal organization
which binds them in the ties of brotherhood. When we
ualize we have let ourselves stray we realize the amuse
merits of the world are but sounding brass and tinkling
cypkhel * compared to the benefit* derived.
Me need closer touch with our f llotv man and in
no better way can this be secured tfian attending these
gatherings.

Golden Text: This do in remem
brance of me. I Corinthians 11:24.
The Lord's Supper is the most sac
red symbol of our faith, the closest
approach to and fellowship with our
Lord
We here tread on holy ground and
should study and partake of this
ordinance with the deepest rever
ence and tenderest love.
The preparation for the
is instructive. On the first day of
unleavened bread (Ex. 12:18-20) the
disciples asked Jesus where he would
have them prepare the Passover
Jesus kept the ordinances of the
church down to the very time of his
death.
Ordinances are the body in which
the spirit of religion is incarnated,
and we are not likely to have the

inquiry. He sent Teter and John to
find the place in Jerusalem, yet did
not tell them definitely where it
was but told them they would meet
a man bearing a pitcher of
and they were to follow him
14:13). Jesus may have made such
an arrangement with a friend and
there were doubtless reasons for
such caution and secrecy.
The incident is a beautiful illus
tration of the method of divine
guidance.
Their course was partly revealed
and partly concealed, and it was
only by following what they did
know that they could find out what |
they did not know and thus reach
their destination- This is always the |
method of providence.
We can ever see our path before
us only a short distance, perhaps
only a single step, and then it is lost
to view But when we go as far as
we can see, some sign-board of
providence indicates the course we |
are to follow.
God always has a man bearing a j
pitcher of water waiting to show us
our way. Obedience today will open
our way tomorrow.
In the evening the little com
pany gathered in the appointed
place and the Passover meal began
As th y were eating, the disciples
were startled by the sudden dec
laration of Jesus, ’Verily I say un
to you, that one of you shall betray
me.”
This totally unexpected announce
ment filled the disciples with alarm.
Such baseness excited their horror
And they began to say one to an
other It Lo rd ?” The form of
their question was good. They did
not point the finger of suspicion at
one another and say, “is it you?”
but “is it l?” “is this baseness lying

The cross has a blood-red heart-
TYie broken bread represents the
broken body, and the poured-out cup
the shed blood of Christ.
The supreme instance of sacrifice
is the crosc of Calvary, on which the
Father offered the Son and the Son
freely gave himself.
Another great idea in this ordin
ance is that of food for the soul.
The bread passes into the blood
and is assimilated into tissue and
reappears in the strength and beau
ty of the body.
But man cannot live by bread
alone- The soul has its mental and
spiritual hunger and must have
bread or die. Christ is the bread of
life that cometh down from heaven
He satisfies all our spiritual needs
and gives us life everlasting. His
spirit passes into our hearts and is
assimilated into our spirits and re
appears in the strength and fruitful
ness and beauty of our lives
It is the “communion'’ of the
Lird's Supper, communion with him
and wit hone another. “We, being
J many, are one bread and one body.”
^ world over ’ eatin « bread to :
! gether is a sign and seal of fellow
ship, and when we receive this bread
| we hereby proclaim that we are no
longer enemies but brethren and
children in the household of God
The closer we get to Christ the
closer we are to one another, as the
radii of a circle converge and touch
rt the center.
This bread and cup may seem
common and insignificant to the
hopes that the world cannot give or
take away.
The ordinance also has in it a
gleam of prophecy. It looks back in
precious, suggesting memories anu
world, but to the believer they are
that day when I drink it new with
retrospect, but it also looks for
ward in prospect as Jesus said “until
you in my Father's kingdom.” It
thus links Christ’s first with his i
final coming
These symbols are also shadows
of things to come which eye hath
not seen and ear hath not heard.
Every time we receive this ordin- j
ance we are bidden to cherish the i
hope of “some sweet day” when our
Lord will come and take us home
“And when they had sung a hymn,
they went out to the mount of Ol
ives.” Having instituted and partak- |
en of such an ordinance it was fit- j
ting that they should sing.
Right, under the shadow of the
Cross, And Jesus should planted a song blossom- j !
we go forth from this
feast to sing song of praise.

heart of stone and give man a heart

world is not in attempting to cure

The writer has often said the
trouble with the world is not sins

sin- Some of these branches are more
hideous than others, but they are all

the sight of God sin is sin- His holy
eyes never looked upon sin with the
least degree of allowance. His Holy
Book teaches that if any man of

one law or sins against God in one
particular, that man is guilty of
breaking the law of God and over
his head hangs the awful penalty,
the wages of sin is death. The con
sequense of one sin as far as this
world i concerned may be greater
than the consequences of some other
sin, but as far as eternal conse
