The presence of Admrial Beatty, a real sure enough seaman with many years • of experience in almost every position on a boat and in the navy, served to bring real close to tho people one phase of th? war. and his earnestnesa and know ledge of war conditions convinced many that this is no picnic.

"I have n«ed Chamberlain's Lini ment for pains in the chest and lamene«« of the ehonlders due to rheumatism, and am nleased cto snr that it has never failed to give me orompt relief.” wr'teM Mrs. S. N Finch, Batnvla, N. T. * Clergymen are urged to talk in their churches on the Liberty Loan. A suggestion for one type of brief sermon follows: Luke 18:18-24. And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit life?" \ And Jesus said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? None is good save one, even God. Thou knowest the commandments. Do not commit adultry. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not bear false fitness. Honor thy father and mother." And he said, "All these things have I observed from my youth up." And when Jesus heard it. He said unto him, ‘'One thing thou lackest yet; sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard these things he became exceedingly, sorrowful, for he was very rich. And Jesus seeing him said, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God.” Through the ages this young man has stood before the world as a tragic failure. Werank him with the Gadarenes, who pre ferred Vheir swine to Christ, and with Nicodemus, who was too timid >(o come out openly on the side of the Master. And yet he wasn’t rfuch a bad sort of fellow; the test put to him was one that not many people in this church could stand—to give all to the poor. He had kept all the commandments from his youth up. he was a seeker after the truth, he had run out after the Mas ter, and yet he failed in the final test—he preferred' his riches to the call of the Master to become one of the company of Peter, James, and John. He went aw ay, sorrowful, for he was very rich. To-day the rich young nation, America, stands in the pres ence of an imperative ideal that commands it to turn its amassed wealth into channels of justice and liberty. If we fail, we will not be ranked with the rich young ruler, or with the Gadarenes, or Nicodemus, we will be ranked with Judas Iscariot. The test put to us is nowhere near as severe as that put to the rich young ruler. He w-as told to GIVE;’the appeal to us is to IX)AN, and to loan on good security at a good rate of in terest. We take no risk, the security is gilt-edged, and the best in the money markets of the world. The rich young ruler was told to GIVE ALL; we are asked to LEND but a SMALL PART of our national wealth. In the Mark verison it says that “Jesus, looking on the young man, loved him," but if the gentle Jesus who said, “Let the little ones come unto me,” looks to night upon the graves of the starved babies of Belgium and Poland; if the Christ who was merciful to the harlot is conscious erf the outraged womanhood and mother hood of France, with what utter scorn and contempt must he hxik upon that American citizeri'calling himself a follower of the lowly Nazarene, who, having the means, still refuses to buy these bonds. Through the centuries Christianity has slowly, painfully, and through the blood of its martyrs and the toil and struggle of Christian men and women, built up a civilization. It has wrested the world from barbarism, and savagery; womanhood has been lifted into reverence; childhood girded about with protection; the slave has been freed; for the sick, the hospital; for the wounded, the Red Cross; for the ignorant, the schools; for old age. rev erence and protection. Nations were bound in the strong ties of international treaties of good will. Even war softened under the touch of Christianity, and international law sprang up which pro^ tected women and children, and the aged, and the wounded, and unarmed merchantmen, and guaranteed to prisciners of war hon orable treatment, and to hospitals and Red Cross nurses protec tion. Each returning Christmas brought ns nearer to* the reality of the angels’ song "Peace, good will to men.’’ Then the Hun came; at one blow he struck down the neu trality of Belgium and cast the treaties, the work of centuries of l’Kristian statesmenship. into the wastebasket as useless “scraps of paper”; Red Cross nurses were fired upon on the battle field; prisoners forced to prepare ammunition to slay their own com rades; Christian priests imprisoned; women and children and the aged slain. President Wilson asks you for the sake of your cour.tr>’ to buy these bonds. I ask you jn the name of your religion to buy them. President Wilson says it is a struggle for democracy against autocracy; it is also a struggle of Christianity against Prussian kultur. Ex-President Taft says "if the Kaiser wins. Rpnker Hill and Valley Forge are wiped out of our history.” but I say to you if the Kaiser wins the Lord’s Prayer is idle rhetoric. Gethsemane a farce, and Cavalry a grim mockery. - Men and women, we call ourselves Christians, and our Chris tianity has been profitable to us. Under the protection of Chris tian ideals and Christian civilization w’e have found liberty of thought and liberty of action, and we have turned this liberty into wealth such as the world has never before known. Sud denly we find ourselves facing a situation which is testing the purposes and ideals of men as they have not before tested in our generation. We have kept the commandments; we have not killed; we have not stolen; hut we are willing to sacrifice just a little for the things we value highest; for our civilization. We sing. “Jesus I my cross have taken, nil to leave and follow thee”; in the greatest crisis in the history of Christianity will you Toan $50 or $100 to make liberty, humanity, Christianity safe?

' • -• Think of it. While we have been sitting at this service enough Christian men to fill this church many times over have been hurled into eternity, and still we hesitate and haggle as to whether we can afford it. or whether we many not need the money later on. You can not keep your money and your self- respect. You can not be a tightwad and a Christian at the same time. If Christ rules the world, the Christ spi^t is lost. As you value your Christianity, buy these bonds.

I?-® A GOOD BEGINNING The tefrchinK of practical asrricu!- ture to one thousand school pupils in elex-»n counties of South Caro ling marks an Important advance in educational methods in the rural districts of the State. Verd Peter son, State superintendent, of aeri- cultural instruction, in a statement to the press, declares that the scho >1 teaefiers and the public of the var ious communities in which the work has 'been started have Riven the thirteen teachers of farming and gardening most encouraging co-op eration. He savs that the boys who are being taifght are planning to grow this year five hundred acres of corn, forty acres of wheat, thiity acres of war gardens, fifty acres of potatoes, three hundred and fifty acres of tobacco, which gives con vincing evidence of the practical re sults to be expected from the new course in the schools. Twelve train ed agricultural teachers, who were reared on the farm, are engaged in this work the year round, living in the community in which they teach and dividing their time between the various schools of the groups which employ them. It is stated also that quite a number of the farmers themselves have shown a marked interest in the instruction and are getting the benefits of expert ad vice. The possibilities of agricultural instruction in the country schools of South Carolina, began year befor-' last, are so great that the course should be instituted in e%-ery coun ty. and school boards should begin making preparations at once to have their schools organized into groups ready to begin the new course next fall. The boys and girls who are given an intelligent insight into the mysteries of plant growth are bound to look upon farming with a new understanding, and the problem of keeping them interested in the soil, to the end that they make th*dr homes In the country instead of in the overcrowded cities, will be much nearer solution. Agricultural in struction in all the rural schools of the State offers the best opportunity for smashing the one-crop system, which has been one great obstm W in the way of better farming. And the work of instruction will neces sarily he progressive. leading on from problems of the soil to prob lems of rural life and ways to make country life attractive as it has e*-- ery right to he. -Charleston Even ing Post.
