No wonder so many people in the South serve Merita
Bread regularly! Have you tried it? Then you have a treat
in store. Merita Bread is proclaimed the finest in the South
land—and more than a million people buy it daily in prefer
ence to other breads or home baking.
And why not? Each slice is a store house of energy—
crammed with delicious goodness that builds sturdy health
and revives jaded appetites. Merita Bread is made of the
finest laboratory tested flour produced in the United States.
Pure vegetable shortening is used to make it easily digested
and rich creamy milk gives it a wonderfully delicious flavor.
It is baked to a “King’s taste” in moisture saturated ovens
and comes to you with all of its original goodness. Try it to
day-then serve it regularly.

REVIEW—REHOBOAM TO NEHE
MI AH
GOLDEN TEXT—"Righteousness ex
altetli a nation: tint sin Is a reproach
to any people."—l’rov. 14:34.
PRIM AKY TOPlC—Selected Stories
of the Quarter.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Main Events of the
Quarter.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
lC—Chief Persons of the Quarter.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—From Kehoboani to Nehemiah.
Three methods of review are sug
gested :
1. Modern Application of the Out
standing Teachings of the Quarter's
Lessons.
For adult classes qualified members
may be asked a week ahead to present
the teachings of the quarter along the
following lines:
t. Patriotism. It should lie pointed
out how the nation suffered and was
utterly ruined because of the lack of
patriotism.
2. The need of real education. Be
cause the people were not imight
about God they went into idolatry.
The real need of the nations of the
world today is to ho taught about God.
3. Evils which afflict society, such as
luxurious indulgence, tampering with
the occult, necromancy, etc.
11. Oiographical.
This met laid is always interesting
and can he adapted to all grades. The
most outstanding men in tiie history
of Israel and Judah appeared in this
quarter's lessons, namely, lielioliomn.
Jeroboam, Allah, Elijah. Elisha. Amos.
Hosen, Athaliah, Hezeklnli. Isaiah, Jer
emiah, Nehemiah. etc. These can lie
assigned to different members of the
class the previous week to present the
outstanding lessons associated with
each character.
111. The Summary Method.
This means pointing nut the cent fa i
teaching of each lesson. The follow
ing suggestions In that end arc offered:
Lesson 1. The kingdom so gloriously
administered in David's time reached
its climax under Solomon, but liecniljse
Ids heart was turned from God through
the influence of his heathen wives Gad
determined that the kingdom would lie
rent from him. Hehoboam’s wicked
stupidity in refusing the counsel of ex
perier.ced men caused the work of two
generations to he undone in a moment.
Lesson 2. Elijah's struggle with Han!
proves that the Lord is the true God
and that because He does respond
when called upon in sincerity lie alone
is entitled to lie worshiped.
Lecson 3. The proof that Elisha was
chosen by God to succeed Elijah was
that Ids anointing of the Spirit was
discernible by the sons of the prophets
and that he did similar and even
greater works than Elijah.
Lesson 4. Those who give themselves
up to the practice of sin will ulti
mately come to ruin. The wages of
sin Is death.
Lesson 5. Israel went Into exile be
cause of her sins, according to God's
announcement through Amos. God's
word cannot fail.
Lesson 6. In spite of Athallnh's
wicked purpose to destroy the seed
royal, Jonsh of Messiah’s line was {ire
served and elevuted to the throne. No
purpose of God can eventually fall.
Lesson 7. Hezckiuh, when threatened
by the Assyrians, resorted to God’s
house and sought the prophet of God.
God's house is the sure resort of His
people when in distress and his minis
ters are best qualified to give help.
Lesson 8. Because Jeremiah faith
fully declared God's word, God deliv
ered him from his enemies.
Lesson 9. Judah, like Israel, went
into captivity because of ber sins. God
never forgets the faithful ones nor
falls to punish the wicked.
Lesson 10. Thong’ll Israel’s leaders
failed, and their failure Involved the
nation in ruin, the Good Shepherd will
eventually come und delNer them and
exalt them to their'pfoper place among
the nations.
Lesson 11. When the period of the
captivity was fulfilled God caused a
remnnnt to return. God never forgets.
He can even move the heart of a hea
then king to fulfill His purpose.
Lesson 12. Through the rending of
God’s Word the people were revived
and they put away their sins. The
only way to bring a revival In right
eous living Is to biing the people to
know God.
Rejecting the Truth
Has God predestinated some to he
lost? Certainly not. There Is no such
thought In Scripture. The reason why
some perish Is their own deliberate
rejection of the truth. “Because they
received not the love of the truth, that
they might be saved."
Will Not Accept
God will not accept the oily words
of new thought fer the sacrifice and
atonement of Christ. —The Living
Word.
The Controversy
A controversy with one who preaches |
the word of God. Is with God—-not
the preacher.—The Living " >rd.

MANY OLD PEOPLE IN LA

The infirmities of age are many.
Most old people have a bad back.
The kidneys are often yenk
Or worn out with years of work.
Backache means days of misery,
Urinary troubles, nights of unrest, j
Doan’s Kidney Pills have helped
' to make life easier for many.
They are doing so for old and
young.
LaFayette people are learning this.
Ask your neighbor.
Mrs. Mary A. Johnson, Magnolia
St., LaFayette says: “i had never
been sick a day in my life until kidney
trouble came on and I was in a bad
fix for a long time. Sometimes I had
to go to bed for a few days and work
was out of the question. I just moped
around tho house, hardly able to malk
across the floor, my back was so weak
and lame. Sharp pains cut through
me and felt ns though my back would

MRS. ALICE OWENS
Mrs. Alice Owens died suddenly on
J the night of Dec. 28, 1923. God sent
j His angel and called our dear sister
i to dwell with himself and the angels
in that beautiful city.
She was born May 27, 1888. In ear
ly girlhood sihe gave her heart to God
I and united with the Baptist church at
Trion. She was married to Newt Ow
| ens Dec. 24, 1911 and to this union
J were born four children; three boys,
1 Grady, John and Raymond and one
| girl, Mary. Mrs. Owens lived a Chris
tian life. She was a kind mother, a de
voted wife and a true friend. She al
ways spoke a kind word to everyone
and was ever willing to lend a helping
hand to all. It is hard to realize that
our dear sister is no more and that we
j will never again see her sweet smiling
j face or hear her kind gentle voice on
I this earth again.
It is so sad to know that she is gone
| never to return but if we live right
| we will meet her in that world not
j made with hands. She will be greatly
| missed by relatives and friends but
I oh how much more she will be missed
j in the home where they are so lonely
! without her. But we know her
sufferings and cares are past and she
j is safe Home at last.
She leaves her husband, 4 children,
j parents, three brothers, three sisters
| and a host of relatives and friends to
I mourn her loss. May God help us all
I to live every day as though it was our
last one, so when we are called to go
we can reach that evergreen shore.
Written by her sister, Mrs. Lizzie
Goodson.
MRS. MARTHA M. BOWEN
Mrs. Martha Bowen was born Aug.
111, 1818 and died Feb. 23, 1923.
She was a consecrated Christian wo
! man, one who loved her Lord, and
: served Kim in her quiet sweet way.
She gave herself to God early in life
j and loved her Lord with all her heart,
I and always spoke of his loving care
j and nearness to her. She was a regu
| lar attendant at church until her
health failed, but she did not cease to
work for her God. The cheering words
and sunny smile for her pastor and
friends made each one stronger and
happier for having known her. We
miss her but as we think of her now,
we think of a life well-spent in the
Master’s service and she has gone to
her reward.
Therefore be it resolved, That it is
but a just tribute to the memory of
our sister Bowen to say that in her re
moval from our midst we mourn for
one who was in every way worthy of
our love.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympa
thize with the children and commend
them to Him who doeth all things
for the best and whose chastisements
are meant in mercy.
Resolved, That this heartfelt testi
monial of our sympathy be sent to the
children and be spread upon the min
utes of our church.
