GOOD
ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Instance Cited of Virginia Community
Where Great Progress Has Eeen
Accomplished.
That flood roads are closely related
to prosperity there is no question of
doubt. Only a few years ago this
section of Virginia had hut one niacad- I
am road, one creamery, which went |
to the wall, and a mere handful of
pure-bred dairy cattle, writes C. C.
Conger, Jr.. of Virginia in tlie Practical
Farmer. One not familiar with'
tlie many blessings good roads bring
about might wonder in what way good
roads would affect creameries and
pure-bred cows. Let us take, for*in- |
stance,- Rockingham county, and see j
just what good roads did in this section
in the dairy business alone, to
say nothing of the prosperity good
roads brought about in various other
ways. Previous to our good roads the
one creamery did some business during
the summer months, when the dirt
roads were at their best, hut business
dwindled to nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads to deliver their milk.
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time a
mere handful of progressive farmers
began a movement for better roads
calling a meeting at a little village
centrally located in the county, xne
attendance was good, and a great deal
of "good roads" enthusiastn wa> i
aroused. It was the first step in better
roads that gained impetus by leaps
and bounds. Today, iu a few short
years, we have a network of fine macadam
roads throughout tiie entire
county. Following good roads cann |
creameries. They sprang up over nighlike
mushrooms, till today the count>
is dotted with creameries, the sight ot
which does not look much like elos
ing down for the lack of milk, particularly
during the early hours of the
day, when auto trucks are pouring in
from the country, bringing milk from
every nook and corner of the county.
Pure-bred cows came with the creameries.
till today scruh stock no longer
dominates our farms. Ask any farmer
why he disposed of his scrub cows, replacing
them with pure breds, and he
will tell you the creameries did It.
Stretch of Hard Surface Road in Virginia.
Ask liini what brought the creameries,
and he will tell you better roads.
While milk has slumped somewhat at
times in this section, it has never
halted the dairy business, and farmers
are now reporting fair profits in
dairying. The wealth that good roads
has brought to this section in dairying
alone is astonishing. We are
Striving for more wealth and prosperity
by building still more good
roads. Kxperience has taught us that
good roads, wealth and prosperity go
hand in hand.

PRIMARY TOPIC ? Tentmaking and

JUNIOR TOPIC ? Paul Working and
Preaching In Corinth.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
?Teaching and Tentmaking in Corinth.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Paul in a Commercial Center.
The establishment of the church at
Corinth is an example of missionary
endeavor for all apes. The method
employed, which resulte-l in success
then, will result in success now.
I. The True Missionary Method
(w. 1-3).
Paul came to Corinth a stranger in
a strange city. He did not have an
advance agent to do his advertising;
neither did lie have his photograph
put ii: the daily paper with sensational
announcements, upon his arrival
In ( orinth. lie did not have a trained
singer with him; neither did he have
his salary guaranteed. His method in
gaining a foothold in Corinth was as
follows:
1. Finding a home (v. 2). This he
found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews
who were recently expelled from
Borne by the cruel edict of Claudius.
Ileing Jews, he found natural affinity
with them.
2. He toiled ffcr his daily bread
(v. ft). He was of the same craft
with them, being tentrnakers. Every
child among the Jews was taught
some trade by menns of which he
could gain a livelihood should occasion
require. One of the rabbis said
thnt he who failed to teach his boy
a trade taught him to steal.
II. Preaching In the Synagogue at
Corinth (vv. 4-8).
1. Though compelled to toil for a
living while getting a foothold In
Corinth, he did not lose sight of his
main work (v. 4). He reasoned in
tbp svnnrnirup every Sabbath, parseding
the Jews and Greeks. In this respi-ei
lie was like William "Carey, the
cobbler. When Carey was asked what
his business was he replied that
preaching the gospel was his business,
but that he cobbled to make expenses.
While the missionary should not be
above honest toll when necessity
arises, he should not allow toil to
interfere with the preaching of the
gospei.
2. His activity was Increased when
Silas and Timothy came (v. 5). This
resulted from three causes: (1) They
brought good news from the church at
inessaionica u 'mess. a:uj. in near
of the steadfastness of tltose who had
confessed (tirlst under our ministry
puts new vigor Into our labors. (2)
They brought pecuniary >rifts from the
Macedonian churches (Philip. 4:15;
II Cor. 11:0). Heine relieved from the
necessity of toil for a living, they now
| could devote more time and energy
to the preaching of the gospel. (3)
Silr.s and Timothy became assistants
to Paul in the work, thereby strengthening
Ids hands so ns to enable him
to accentuate his efforts.
8. Paul opposed (v. 0). His Increnseo
activity was met with increased
opposition. This can always
he expected.
4. Paul announces his purpose to
turn to the Gentiles (v. (?). P.eeause
of their hlashphemy and opposition he
ceased to work among the Jews.
There is a time when good judgment
causes one to abandon work where
efforts huve been fruitless, hut it Is
difficult to know Just when to do it.
5. He did not go far away (v. 7).
He remained sufficiently nenr that
those whose hearts God touched could
1 easily find him. It is likewise true
that although Christ is obliged to depnrt
from the soul that refuses Him
entrance. He lingers with yearning
1 love around that 1 cart:
C. His success (v. 8). Crlspus. the
j chief ruler of thd synagogue, was converted.
Perhaps the severity of his
j action In turning away from them
moved Crlspus to action. Pressure
for immediate decision is helpful to
some?they realize It Is now or never.
Many otners followed the example of
Crispus. Paul varied from his ustinl
custom and baptized Crispus (I Cor.
1:14).
III. Paul's Vision (w. 0-11).
Ilis experiences since coming to Eui
rope were very trying. lie needed encouragement
at this time. It is just
: like the I.ord to come at the time of
I tiie servant's greatest need. .Note the
i Lord's words to him:
1. "He not afraid." When one Is
i executing the commission of the Lord
he need not he afraid.
2. "Speak, and hold not thy pence."
The one who lias henrd the voice of
Clod cannot refrain from speaking?
cannot he still.
3. "I am with thee." The Lord Is
with everyone who faithfully carries
out his commission.
4. "No man shall set on thee to hurt
thee." The one sent by the Lord to do
a work Is immuno f. am danger and
I harm until rus worn is u??ur.
i B. "I have much people in tliis city."
I It is most encouraging to know that
In the great cities the Lord luis His
own people and that the one who poos
In His name shall have fruit for his
service.
Those Three Good Men.
The word of the Lord came apain
unto me. saying, son of man, when
the land slnneth against me by trespassinp
previously, then will I stretch
out mine hand upon if, and will break
the staff of the bread, thereof, and
will send famine upon if and will cut
off man and beast from it: thouph
these three men Noah. Daniel, and
Job were In It, they would they should
deliver but their own souls by their
righteousness, salth the Lord.?Ez#

days when we meet our best friends

cause in the endless variety of hats
there is one for every type of face?
one that enhances its good points, is
kind to its faults and has a charm to
lend to its wearer.
The majority of shapes for fall are
medium or small and they are graceful
and spirited. Ilats reveal much
hand-work and employ many materials
and trimmings. Among materials,
duvetyn and similar fabrics rival velvet
and there are familiar and unfamiliar
trimmings, the latter including
small metallic and cellophane ornaments.

His Holdings?In Same Families
for Many Centuries.
London.?England's great estates
are crumbling under the weight of
taxation and death duties and one big
landed proprietor after another among
the nobility is dividing and selling his
holdings, many of which have been in
the hands of single families for centuries.
The latest indication that peers are
finding It necessary to seek smaller
homes comes in the announcement of
the duke of Portland that he may have
to abandon his palatial mansion,
Welbeck Abbey, in Nottinghamshire.
This is only one of tlie residences of
the duke, who owns some 200,000
acres in England.
Duke Expresses Fears.
"For centuries past landed estates
have been handed down from generation
to generation." said the duke,
addressing his tenants on the occasion
of the coming of age of his son Lord
Francis Cavendish. "Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection. I fear, however,
that the state of things is passing
away, for with the present weight of
taxation and the extremely onerous
death duties, the future may become
