The Advertiser shares in the prac

that will let in the sunshine of pros
perity.
The officers of the Presbyterian
Sunday school will give a Christmas
tree at the church next Wednesday
?vening for the children of the Sun
day school.
Not a sack of commercial fertili
zers has been moved this fall and it
is not likely that any will start early
in the new year until there is a con
siderable reduction in prices. With
the present outlook for. 1921 farmers
can not pay high prices for fertilizers
or labor and make ends meet next
fall.

of the McKendree church,' was a vis
itor here Monday, having accompa
nied Mr. F. P. Walter to Edgefield.

two of the best members of McKen
dree church but two of the best peo
ple in the county. Mr. Tucker serves
two other churches besides McKen
dree.
A Very Worthy Cause.
Our fifth page is devoted this week
to setting forth the needs and suffer
ing of humanity in a remote portion
of the world. Read what is said and
you will be* convinced that our peo
ple should share what they have with
those so much less fortunate. Mail a
meek to the treasurer of the fund in
Columbia and you will find more joy
in the Christmas season. Giving aid
to the least of one of these is serving
in a most acceptable manner Him
whose birthday we are soon to cele
brate. The NEED 'IS GREAT. Give
as liberally as you can. .

From the earliest days of Edgefield
down to a few weeks ago Edgefield
bas been at the mercy of the flames
wherever fire broke out. For the size
of the town Edgefield has had some
is disastrous fires in the years gone
oy as almost any other place in the
State. But things will be different
from now on. The town is equipped j 1

For Boys and Girls.
Some of the w^ys they may learn
;o be happy in this life and the great
"uture. These are four v. ords of four
etters each, if you will learn them
md use them.
I will tell you what they are ! First
)ne is Love, second, Obey; third,
Oelp; fourth,. Pray. There are many
rreat thoughts we may gather from
;hem. Love is the first one you.learn
ed. It was. at mother's knee. Do you
ove her now as you did then? Our
parents are first in our love; do we
prove it by what we do for them?
?ow often do we make their eyes to
sparkle, their face to show the ex
pression of joy? Doubtless there are
nany days in the future of your life
vith opportunity every day to prove
;o them your love. The more you do
cor them, the more you will love to
lo, the more you will see to do.
If you love your parents you will
iot look for the pleasures of life for,
yourself alone, they must have a
mare. Brother, sister and friend, a
mare of your love.
There is One other you must not
forget to love, that is Christ, who
jave His life that we might live. He's
jone to prepare a place for those who
!ove Him.
Then we come to the next one,
Dbey. This sounds like a hard word
;o bring in with love, but obedience is
me of the laws of heaven. Let us be
nn to learn it here. The boy ov girl
chat obeys is seldom reproved. Pa
rents and teachers count on you
when they want something done. You
idd to your parents' joy and happi
less. It will add to yours after a
while. Every one should learn to obey
Sod's commandments. God's word
ceaches us that it is better to obey
han to sacrifice.
The third one is Help. Everybody
:an tell what help means. The girl
md boy must learn to help in the
lome and then they can help each
ither. A joy comes into the life of
iveryone who helps a friend, a neigh
)or or an enemy, into the path of
ife. God wants our help each day.
Think once, twice and every time it
s your duty to help Him and^ all
vhom you come in contact with.
God expects you to help, the world
leeds your help, and the help you
rive to God and the world becomes
i joy in your own life, a reward for
fou in the great future.
Our last word is Pray. Do you
enow it's meaning? A poet gives the
I

ose of Optimism. Forgetting the
ce and business losses, let us press
is and recoup losses that we may

You need the money,

You can get the money

price if you hedge with

livalent amount of future cotton,

'Prayer, the simplest form of speech,

Prayer, the sublimest thought,
That reach the Majesty on high."
It. is the duty of every one to learn

In repentance we want to know
how to pray. 'Tis then we seek to
know how we may make peace with
God; 'Tis then we put forth our best
efforts to please Him; 'tis then, when
we offer our whole life to do as best
we can for Him that He gives us the
joy that has no equal. It will thrill,
our life as never before and will con
tinue to be our greatest joy as long
as we are willing to trust in Him.
