The mill -village demonstration work is to be resumed in Bauth Car olina under the leadership of James L. Carbery, the originator of the plan to improve conditions..In mill vilages. The work was begun several years ago at Roci Hill by Mr. Carbery. When the Smith-Lever act went ito effect the appropriation was cut off . by the United States. department.of agri culture on, the ground that the work could not be classed under the head of agrieulture. ..From Rock Hill the work. spread to 20 mills in the state. Following the withdrawal of fed eral support Gov. Manning in a mes sage to the legislature urged that a state bureau of'welfare work be creat ed. Bills were introduced in the house and senate.' The house bill passed without a dissenting vote and the measure was sent to second read. ing in the senate. Before the bill was finally passed the legislature ad journed. The measure was to- have been taken up at the last session of the legislature,' but word came that federal aid was to be extended and that the state bureau was unneces sary. When the federal government with. drew support from the work Mr. Car bery went to Beaufort as county farm demonstrator. Several weeks ago he returned tQ Rock Hill and -is actively engaged in organizing the clubs in the mills of South-Caro'ina. The objects of the mill village dem onstration work are as follows: Home gardens, summer and winter; home canning, horticulture, fruit, shrub bery, flowers, planting and propaga tion, landscape work,- home sanita tion, elimiination of breeding places of flies and mosquitoes, club work, jun fors from 8 to 18 years of age, sen iors over 18 years old, Irish potatoes, corn and pig, plant diseases- and in sect pests. The allied. interests are: Illustrated lectures, agricultural schools, field meetings, night meet ings and mill village fairs. The gov. ernment is prepared to furnish ex perts on the above subjects for the behefit' of the people of the mill vil lages. Several prizes will be offered to the members of the junior tomato club work. Two Cavalry Troops for State. "It is hoped that it will bo possible for the state to proceed with the plan of organizing two troops of cavalry," says Gen. A. L. Mills, chief of staff of the division of mnilitia affairs ir. the war department, in a letter to WV. W. Moore, adjutant general of South Car olina. Petition~s have been filed by cavalry troops from Charleston and Columbia and the militia council several days ago recommended that both be ac cepted if possible. The letter from the, war department gives assurance that' bothi troops will be mustered into the service, provided they have piroper local backing. ,"If a troop of cavalry is to be author ized in Columbia, the people must give the proper financial support," said *Adt. General Moore, "and personally I will contribute 810 toward ,the sup port of the troop." "2While 'oply one troop is alotted to South Cartolina," said Gen. Mills. "the war departinient will be pleased to have .the State organize and main tain two troops; the Nin-th militia di vision of.'which .the organized' militia of fSouth Carolina forms a part, is do ficienti in catairy, and a remedy for the defiuteney coming from any stat~e will be, looked upon with favor." The letter from Gen. Mills cont tinues: "Your inquiries under paragraph 3 of yotar letter are answered as follows: "Pending legislation . conternplates the issue by the federal government of not t6 exceed 32 cavalry horses to each troop.< "Full equi'pment will be furnished to each troop from usalloted funds; the equipment to inclfide everything needed for- field sergice.

After finding lodgings. they repaired to the synagogue on thea Sabbath day, Here they coud iet the people and would be given oppo-p tunity to speak of Jesus. Paul put himself in the way of opportupity an4 opportunity to beckoned to him. They did not. demand this privilege because they were Christian . workers. Their participation in. the service and .other actions commended .them to the re spect of the leaders of the synagogue, which was the great democratic forum of the Jewish nation. 11. Paul's Sermon (vv. 16-41). Paul r began' his remarks, even as Peter didf at Pentecost, by quoting the Old Tes a tament -and referring to Jewish his. tory, using the same to lead up to his e testimony about Jesus. (Matt. 5:17.) s "It is ours to show wherein Christ ful filled the law, the obligation resting upon us by reason of his coveiant of grace, and the blessings which Iegue 1 therefrom.' This is one of Paul's three ,I recorded misgionary sermons (see also' I Acts 14:.16-18;; 17:22-31). The last two were to Gentiles only. This Is, a scriptural discourse. (1) Messiah's r people and ancestry (17-23); (2)' Mes t siah's forerunner (24, 25)'; Messigh rejected (26-29); (4) -' Messiah' risen from the dead (30-37); (6) Jesus the Justifier (38-39); (6) the application, a word of warning (40, 41). There must have-been some evidence of rest lessness In his audience, hence his' sharp warning (41). til. Paul's DecIsion (vv. 42-47). After' the separation of Jews from Greek proselytes the latter besought Paul to continue hiss testimony literally "the Sabbath between," perhaps at the mid wea3k meetings. Questions and .discus-. sions were. the order in the breaking up of the synagogue service, and as Paul and his company departed they, were accompanied by some who' had ' believbd '(v. 43'. Knowving the testing which would follow, Paul and Bauna-' bas did personal work with these, cx-' horting to steadfastness (John 8: 31, 32; Col. 1:23) in the' grace of -God (v. 38. 39; Rom. 3:24; IEph. 2:8). It is only in grace that any are able to 'continue" (Rem. 5:2; Gal. 5:1, 4). It is personal work :which. gathers a. crowd and . such was the method,. of. Paul and . B3arnabas during the inter-. vening week, So well was the work done and so great was the power of* their testimony that "almost tho whole city" gathered~ th9 next Sabbath to "hear the Word of God." Such evident, interest in this new teaching aroused the jealousy of the Jews. Years of Jewish piroselyting had never secured' such a result' as this 'one address of a' doubtful-stranger produced. But back-' of 'this jealousy was the greater sin of unbelief. To hear the Word -of God.. (Ii Titus 4:2; 1 Thoss. 2:13) does hot. necessarily produce obedience and 'faith-. (Luke 8:5-'7); .pot always the greatest number of. hearers will pro-, duce the greatest,.niuibor of. conver sions,, To interrupt S. ppealter is not unknown in synagogues. today.
