C. CLINTON, S. C., DEC. 8, 1927 8 PAGES WINDOW SHOPPING Store windows, now suggesting Christmas, are more than a gentle hint to make early purchases for the day of gifts, still three weeks in the future.! Whatever the urge in that direction j may be, store windows, Christmas! dressed, are an appeal in themselves. “Window shopping,” always an allur-, ing occupation, never is quite as de-1 lightful >as it is in the days w hen there is an atmosphere of expectancy, the 1 spirit of cheeriness aqd the glow of benevolence that somehow work their marvels at this season of the year. No matter how matter-of-fact we may be 11 months of the year we all be come more or less sentimental with the approach of December, and the gay windows, the rich windows, even the plainly dressed windows, brave or sedate in their Christmas attire, sing to us a siren’s lyric that is a challenge to pass them unheeded. And who gets the most fun from window shopping, the juveniles or the elders? Silly question! The more mature, of course. Even those win dows dressed especially to appeal to the children are so crowded with adults at times that a poor youngster has little chancfc of seeing what there in is! These, of course, are the more shameless—glorying in their shame. Others who envy them their brazen ness pick up a youngster some place, and push to the front, thinking, like a man who takes a kiddie to a circus he wants to see himself, that he has acquired merit. What foolishness! How much more honest he would be if one such would just acknowledge to himself that he hungers to see the window show and to justify himself with the reflection that there will be plenty of time for children to see such spectacles after they grow up. Yes, we oldsters have not too many Christ mas fetes ahead of us, so we hasten to take advantage of what opportunities we have. What is the impelling motive?

A rural congregation gm- barking on such an undertaking is confronted with a job that requires faith, liberality and hard work, and yet the task was successfully accom plished. The Yorkvill Enquirer inter estingly tells the story, in its news col umns. After every conceivable source of donations and pledges had been tapped, it was discovered that the con gregation jyas still several thousand dollars short of the goal. Then the unique plan was suggested and adop ted that members of the congregation last spring at planting time set aside; an acre or more, a special plot, in cot ton, the proceeds from the sale of the plot to go to the building fund. This was to be known as the “church patch.” More than 20 members agreed to the plan. So The Enquirer recounts: “Twenty bales of cotton totalling 8,766 pounds., grown on a score of sep arated God’s acres, set aside last spring to raise money to fill a deficit in the funds to finish paying for the $25,000 church, were sold by the Bowl ing Green Presbyterian congregation Tuesday and raised over $2,000 by the reqiarkable project.” The cotton was conveyed to the church and sold at auction,, being bought by a Gastonia buyer, bringing 22% cents per pound. One member of the congregation who had agreed to donate a sum equal to the amount the heaviest bale brought made good his pledge, and several mothers donated As a matter of cursed prohibition placed the United States industrially in the forefront of the world.
