Frier, pastor of the Bamberg church, sends us'a large list of renewals and new subscribers, and adds: "I hope to send others a little later. I preceded this effort with a sermon on 'The Printing ? Press as a Force in Denominational Life and Work.' It seemed to break up the 'fallow ground,' and the work was easy. We are doing what we can to relieve the State board this month. Bro.

The Sunday-school was not so cc largely attended last Sunday morning, but what was lacking in attendance was made up in contribution to cc State missions. Every organization tc of the church lent a helping hand in the effort to relieve our St^te board ^ of missions of debt. The pastor preached Sunday morning on how to meet our financial obligation to God. It was a scriptural w argument for the tithing system as n< God's financial plan or system; show- in ing how he. the pastor, was led to cc adopt it as his individual plan, and ti< that he had Dracticed it ever since. ?< It will be a bright day for our church- cc es when we get to meeting this phase sc of our christian duty in God's way. The sermon of the evening was the first of two sermons on "drifting;"? tc the possibility, the danger, and the remedy. w The committee reporting on a fclan ^ of finance for the year was requested e(; to make a fair apportionment as possible among the membership, so that an adequate amount may be raised to meet the demands during sc the coming pastoral year and sub- ti< mit to ^each member for approval; S* same to be paid monthly if possible. The pastor and family had a nice pounding Thanksgiving ,day; for in which, to the kind and thoughtful donors, they are grateful. May the blessings of him who said, "Inasmuch as ve have done it unto the ar least of these, ye have done it unto me," rest on each contributor.

Morris, who lived in. the th Clear Pond section of this county, th died last Saturday, after an illness th of only a.- few days. We under- re stand that he was affected with some- it thing like paralysis. He was- well fo and hearty Wednesday night, and got ye up early Thursday morning and, built or up a fire..- Soon afterward his- wife te called to. him to know what time it was and he did not answer, and she at once ^rose and found him so he could not speak. He was once put to bed and physicians summoned, but he gradually grew worse until, the end came, never recovering from the stroke. The funeral took place Sunday at Bethesda church. ^ Mr. Morris was nearly sixty years old, and leaves a wife and several ci children, as well as brothers and sisters. He was a brother of Mr. W. H. S1 Morris, of Danforth, Ga., and Mr. J. al R. Morris, who lives in the same sec tion of this county. Mr. Morris was well-known and had many friends, <s and his sudden death will cause sor- T row to many hearts. NOTICE.

Every 3 fort for its enforcement is being gi ade. ? Iowa's anti-cigaret law went into 5 feet July 1. Nebraska, Washington, ?S ichigan and Mississippi have also ?5 gislated against the vile paper g pes. Pennsylvania and New Jersey i w-makers are considering the evil, id all over the county public senti- gj ent is turning anti-cigaretward as H-pr hefnre. ?9 Rear Admiral Schroder recomends that no cigarettes be carried || ith our naval supplies. Council- gE an Betz of Baltimore is doing fine g| iti-cigaret agitating in the big Mary- | \ nd city. Mayor Lewis, of Wilkes- g irre, Pa., has forbidden cigaret gf coking among the policemen. Disict Attorney Small, of Pennsyl- gE tnia, is getting after law-breaking ialers, and L. T. L., W. C. T. U., ? nti-Cigaret League and Y. M. C. A. gE orkers are busy in the right direc- g 3n. All of which means that many o^ing boys are going to be saved gg om the clutches of the wretched gJ garet habit. "There is no doubt," says the Min- gj japolis Tribune, "that the law has gg good effect, as there are smokers ho thought it impossible to stop ie use of cigarets, and having been lable to accustom themselves to a pe or cigars, have stopped smoking together. ^ The Philadelphia Rapid Transit impany, August 25, announced that d would hereafter refuse to re-em- I oy any discharged motormen or ^ mductors unless they would sign a * >tal abstinence pledge. General P anager Kruger declared that no ex>ptions will be made. Texas has only twenty-four totally ^ et counties. County prohibition ?uj ow prevails in 157, and is in force IP i large parts of the 64 remaining ^ >unties. In the northwestern secon of the Lone Star State, there are ) dry counties in one solid block, / >vering an area of nearly 75.000 jjl luare miles. South Dakota requires all saloons f post in conspicuous place over teir bars a placard bearing the ords, "Public treating is forbidden r law."

L ve till the wqrld grows cold! *1 CANADA'S LAW WORKS WELL. p Canada has been trying the enrcement of a law prohibiting cigaret loking by boys, and, judging by the ade returns, the result is strikingly ? >parent. The number of cigarets " aoked in Canada since the first of e year shows a decline of more an 30,000,000 from the figures for e twelve months Drecedine.-- This suit is the more remarkable when is recalled that the law was in rce for only eight months of the sar. Canada's law forbids, the sale ? gift of cigarets or cigaret ma^ial to minors. WHEN IT STRIKES HOME. ' Several storekeepers of a laTge city ere recently taken to court for sellg cigarets to minors. One was an alian, who asked mercy because he . . id a large family and needed the ft oney for their support. .11 /'Do you let your children smoke figarets?" asked the judge. I The Italian was very angry. "No, V r!" he exclaimed. "I would never / low it!" "So I thought," said the judge. Still you don't object to selling mokes' to other people's children, wenty dollars and costs." Tj In my thoughts I always liken the 'Oman's Christian Temperance Ci nion to Joan of Arc, whom God H Lised up for France. But evermore tr; ie heard and heeded heavenly A )ices, and God grant that we may Cc *ar and heed them evermore! To ip. martvdom of nnhlir rphnkp and at iticism they will surely lead us, a W icrifice not easy for gentle hearts i bear; but following where they re ad, we shall steadily pass onward om the depths of this world's pain Sc i the heights of eternal peace, and sst of all we shall help to lift Huanity, so weak and so bewildered ?arer to the law, the life, the free>m of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
