She spoke of Soith Carolina's record in the past, and especially of Pickens county, in re gard to the Liberty Loan, but the greater part of her talk was given to the organization of our county for the coming drive.

S Read the Special Notice column From A. M. Simmons The religious condition of the churches of today is not what it should be as I she it. And why? First, most of our churches need a more strict die- A cipline, for in many of them it is al most unknown. If there is an institu tion that should be kept clean it. is the E church of Jesus Christ. R My reason for writing this article is F this: Several members of different V churches have asked about using my 0 name for pastor another year. and I V advised all who asked me this question M to drive slow along this line as I am J seeking no pastorate. If any church N wishes to use my name in that way I A would be glad to make this request: E First, I want you to be united as much J as possible. Second, I want you to A pray over this matter earnestly and V thoughtfully, for this is a sacred ques- J tion-calling a man to lead the people. I For God's Word tells us that if the I blind lead the blind both will fall into S the ditch together, and for this reason b I ask the people who want to use my j name to go a long way toward it on I their knees with your eyes on Jesus, C and then I feel that you will make no j mistake. , Now I will give you my views: , First, I believe all our churches should have preaching twice a month and our ij pastors should do all their power to see ] that our churches have a year-round ] prayer meeting and a year-round Sun day school. If our churches would have preaching twice a month-say first and third Sundays-and preaching the first Saturday evening at 5 o'clock, then the church should go into confer ence and should call for the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, and when adopted call for the peace and fellowship of the church and see whether all was in shape for the trans action of business in God's house to gether; this to take place once every month and just preaching the third Sunday and if it is possible the pastor ought to' be there for Sunday school and prayer meeting. I will give you my, plans. Meet at 10 o'clock in song and } prayer service for 30 minutes and then take up the Sunday school lesson and I let preaching commence at 1-1:30 and close when the Spirit said close. My reason for connecting prayer meeting and Sunday school together is that our prayer meetings don't last but a month or so after August meeting is over, and any church without a good prayer meeting and good Sunday school is in a general way spiritually (lead. And if it is ever my privilege to serve a church in my weak way I expect to do my ut most to keep both running the year r 'mnd. And one other thing I believe will 1!p to keep our churches in good run ning order is to give an invitation for people to conic forward for prayer every time we have a meeting, and then we can have a revival every time we meet and not wait till August, for it I will be a revival the year around, and in my judgment our churches will never be any better, off spiritually till people repent. I am going to pass this all-irmportant atter everywhere I go. So, brethren ia~uded by the Spirit. - A. M. SIMMoNS.
