Roughly estimated, the total ti number of votes cast, up to C time of publication last week, w for all the candidates combined, t1 was 1.0660,525. If the number he had been prorated among the 01 39 .contestants, each one would w have had practically 27,347. Any one of these contestants, by getting three 5-year s'nb scriptions, could bring their lo standing up to this prorata fig-. fr ure; ten 2-year subs ptious co would give .them_______ while six 8-year 'iisi-ptions would give them practically the same result, with a few of the free coupons thrown Ill. Contestant, don't you know of six people, either in your community, or out of it, who could be interested in your race sufficiently to put you in the running? The only hard part is to get your first 25,000 votes; after you pass this point it is easy sailing. The leaders, now, all had less than 5,000 the first issue in April, but they deter mined to make a showing, and they have done so. April 6th issue, when they entered the race, Miss Sheriff had 7,000, Miss Chastain 21,000, Miss Bates 21,000, Miss Suther land 49,000. They all deter mined to make a good showing, and as soon as they passed the 25,000 mark, the balance was easy. A little time, effort and con centrated work will put all these candidates, that are now be hind, up in the running. Don't expect others to "tote" you, for you will have "to get up and walk about sonie" and encour age them to help you along. Are you going to sit idly by and see these prizes carried off by some one else when a little effort on your part might turn them your way? The race is early, and there is plenty of time for the hindmost contestant to get to work, catch up and pass the present leaders. Are you willing to make ,the trial. That is what we * ait to know. Will you dO ifs the kind ness to at o ybinfori us whether you n' i to stay in the race or not Unique Ceremonv. O Sunday, 23d ult., as the Wa i was fast traveling toward the western horizon and the officiating officer was sitting on his porch enjoying the salubri ous breeze and meditating over the "ups and downs" of this life, his attention was drawn ,to two pedestrians some three or four hundred yards away. As they drew nearer the offi ciating officer noticed that they seened much fatigued and were very dusty, By the time the couple had reached the house the yard was full of other peo ple---some riding and some walk ing-some of whom looked bet ter and some worse, "who had followed- this worried couple through mere curiosity. All were invited in and given seats. -As the officiating officer .s always on the alert, he waited pitiently to be apprised of the wvhy and the wherefore. But wvhethier through excitement on >eholding such a crowd or vorn-out from the long walk, ho spokesman for the couple coemed to be slow to make Enown his business. After a while, and with the Lssistance of the officiating flicer in asking questions, it as made known that Mr. ~awrence Rochester, of Salem, nd Miss Belle Nix, of Six Mile, vanted'( to be mnade, man and vife. After his honor had inquHired nd learned that this worn, rorried and dusty couple had ralked about 12 miles to obtain achi a privilege, he decidedl that awuonco had legal ground(s >r such an act, and now it is [r. andl Mrs. Rochester. Come on. boys, those of you 'ho wish to marry. J.

The an swer to the questian was, "To lift up Christ in our lives." 2. "Why are the years be tween 12 and 20 the most im portant years of life?" The dis cussions on this subject were good. There weie five other queries discussed, which were all helpful and instructive. one of which I will mention: "Can a Sunday school be successful when pupils differ in their an swers to same question in les son." The convention from start to finish was one of union and brotherly love. All present seemed to be interested in Sun day school work.
