SUINTDAT, AUGUST 3G. " Helpfulness Is Productive of Happiness It has been demonstrated, over and over again, that it is for man’s best interest to observe a day of rest; he needs it for relaxation from the cares of the week and for refreshment for the labor of the week to come. In the Bible we are exhorted not to forsake the assemb ling of ourselves together. Moreover we are urged repeatedly to worship the Lord in his courts; “Let us come before His presence with thanks giving.’’ “I was glad when they said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” “The Sabbath was made for man; not man for the Sab bath.” “A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content;” that is a Sabbath spent in the proper way—and that includes, of necessity, church attendance—prepares us for what we have to do during the coming week. Many of the most useful people of the world have been church goers;believing in the services and profiting physi cally, mentally and spiritually by them. The captains of big things find in church services rest and change, refreshment and uplift; and the new duties to be confronted during the week are easier because of the rest of the Sabbath day. Augusta Church News At a Glance Or. Reavis at the First Presbyterian, The Firrt Presbyterian Church has made arrangements to hold a series of out-door services this week.

Sensational Caillaux Trial Has Given Many the Impression That France is Not a City Where Common Sense Abounds Paris.—l have been wondering what your impression is of the French as a nation, aftsr you have read columns of newspaper articles on the sensa tional Caillaux trial. Vivid word pic tures of the scenes in the court, I guess have given you an idea that Paris at least is a circus and not a city where cold common sense abounds. It would be a thousand pities if you judged France by what you have read of the great cause cele bre. To understand, you must know the French and their temperament; their methods and their way of reas oning. A court trial is no true index to the nation. It is merely a question of prevailing method. The American is better able to appreciate the true situation than even the phlegmatic Englishman who lives so near to us. Different. A trial by judge and jury in France differs irr every particular from every other court in the world, I imagine. The whole attitude of the court is vastly different from that one known In America, In England and in Ger many. The big trial here has all the elements of a first-night and can you wonder that we claim to be the dra matists of the world —masters of stage technique? Had you seen and heard the Caillaux affair you would have understood. The Judge and lawyers do not call the accused "the prisoner”. It is Monsieur or Madame. You might compare "Madame” to the leading lady In an emotional drama and the words of counsel are such that you might imagine they had been framed to bring frenzied applause from the denizons of the gallery. Appeal Emotion. The one object Is to appeal to the emotions. And every sort of extran eous matter is admitted. French Juris prudence seeks to evoke the atmos phere, to build up probabilities. What is the mentality of this person? Is she capable of committing a crime, and what are the motives she would be likely to have? And so the re motest facts are brought in stray re marks, conversations of years ago. From the prisoner’s viewpoint the French system is preferable to all Others, Here we have the unwritten law with a vengeance. I verily believe that you could select an impression able Jury, who would forget a vile murder under the bewitching gaze of a beautiful virago. Even the male prisoner always has a chance of some Intervention In his favor. He can make appeals to the human side that is uppermost in the most judicially minded Jury. On the other hand the prisoner's permlsalpn "do tout dire" may result, and often does In harm to his cause. He has said too much. A eelebdated English Judge is said to have praised the French system on that very ground that one was more likely to learn the whole truth.

His nature inclines to service to God, to helpfulness to his fellowmen, to being more human and humane in his attitude towards life, and to being and doing that which will benefit others as well as to benefitting himself. Church services therefore are essential to big and little; to the physically strong as well as to the physically weak; the word appeals to the mentally strong and the mentally keen; the essence of religion is uplift of soul and spirit, the increase of understanding of the laws of God and man; the betterment of the world in general. No church has all the workers it needs; no congregation is so efficiently organized as to be beyond the need of more helpers. There is a niche in the moral life of the community in which you will just fit; where you can do what you desire for the uplift of those about you. The churches of this community therefore want your in terest in the services pf Sunday, your help in the work the church is doing week after week and month after month. They need you! Will you help?

BUILD WITH BRICK GEOP.GIA-CAROLINA BRICK COMPANY aIIOUSTA. - QEORQIA AUQIJSTA, PRESS NOW DOING WORK OF REVIVALS The characteristic aspect of the go-to-church Sunday 1h that It is a newspaper enterprise. It derives its original Impulse and much of its propulsive power from a newspaper or several nowe papera. It Is a new note sounded In (he closer co-operation of the two great forces for social regeneration—the pulpit and the press. * It is this phase of the euhject that is worth more than passing notice. Hlowly the church has awakened to the power resident in printer’s ink. when that power Is set In motion by broad intelli gence and kept moving by aggressive thought. The press has real ized that the church is a medium through which it can most readily accomplish the several reforms for society to which it has address ed itself. There is no reason In the world why these organizations should not co-operate and many why they should. Newspapers have filled stores with customers, have filled banks with dollars, have filled schools with scholars. What reason why they should not fill churches’with people? It is necessary first to get people into the church before they can ho Influenced by the things the church teaches. The world may yet see accomplished by proper publicity what has been done by Billy Sunday and other evangelists The medium of newspaper eo-operatlon Is at the door of almost every church In the country. Spectacular evangelists are few and far between, their cost, prohibitive to smaller communities and their value disputed in large ones. It may be that, go-to-church Sunday Is the forerunner of a new order of things In the Christian church. —Exchange.
