I see that we have five fifth Sun *uys in this year, and that will give five union meetings if we have 'e every flfth Sunday. '9As I talk to our brethren about the union meetings it seems that none of mr churches are anxious- to invite It '" meet with them, 'and when I 'ask ?1o reason why, they say it has get. the meetings are not intereting to :de people, as the: sole purpose seems obe "muoney," and it seems'that we live left Christ and Him crucified "it of outr work and gone after the rods of Baal. And I am obliged to1 ocknowledge that it is so, I mean too< tr~uch so. Of course we know that it takes I ooney to finance the Lord's 'work, but 'I feel like It is time for us toj 1 'ake a change, and I will suggest a I ogram fr- (r commIttep. to conl A Visit Fronri o1 "Well," remarked the eminent Col mel J. Wallington Potts, as he wiped he mud off of- his shoes on our im )orted Brussels carpet, eased himself nto .that handsome chair reserved 'or the most distinguished visitors nly, leaned back and lighted one of )Ur $1.25 gold-lined Havanas, "I see ;hey are going to send all the likker nakers, sellers and drinkers to jail, tad not let them pay out. What do rou think of it?" 6' ~ M "Well," we replied, "we :been so >usy trying to make enough coin to ay our past due taxes that we haven't od time to think about it.- Whit . you think about it?" "I '+ nk,'- said the Colonel as he lIed the air full of high priced f ra rance, "it's a damn poor plug. .hcse here luke-warm prohibitionists ire too kind-hea Y! they aIr: too >roadmin(dod and eas'y, they take half way measures -and k don't; go far mough. I have thought this thing :ver and have evolved an ideal plan f settling a perplexing problem. No ran who makes likker, sells likker, :oted likker, drinks likker, or who ooks like he wants a drink of the lamnable delight of the devil should be allowed to breathe the sac-red air of this religious nation. He should be shot and shot foi'thwith." "But, Colonel-" "Don't 'but' me," retorted 'J. Wall ington, digging the point of.our $47.80 fountain pen into the table; "I know what you are going. to say; but I tell you I've got it all figured out and my plan will work. pf will empty vur jails, asylums, jpor houses and reformatories, reduce our court ex penses to nothing, and fill our public treasury so full of money that we wvill have to find new ways to spend it. It will le'ngthen the lives of our people to' such an extent that when I person (lies under 200 years of age he papers will refer to iG as an untimeily death.' "I admit it will decrease the pop dtticn considerably, but it will re m'C ye only those heathen who (o not aigree with us and who are unlit as 4oint's fo. us best people, and will make this. portion of the old terres tial sphere a fairly decent place to dwell. My plan will absolutely stamp out the demon rum, sometimes re ferred to by the lower class as John Barleycorn, and will therefore have the support of all the best people. "I know you are thinkin'. that no jury would condeni to death a per:. Imenee at ten o'clok with song and prayer sc'vice and lhave one. hour of spiritual service led by some spirit filled man who can tell 'the peopl( w'hat the Lord has done for his poor~ ioul and who is not ashamed to tell he poor' sinner that he wants him to enve the ways of sin -azd come to Thr-ist. Then at the 11 o'clock hour eht us have ani old 'time gospel ser non by sonme man- filled, with the pirit. Then give abl the afternoon f~ that dlay to the dliscussion of the est way for the Lord'i feople to nance His cause. Sun'dtay morning it us meeot ot ten o'cleck 'for song ud prayer service led by sonme spirit.. lIed man for an hour, and at 11 'clock have a sermon by the pastor f the .hurch where the meeting is eld. My reason for this' is that great many times-'we haves a'miss mary sermon by som~e man from far way and the sole object of his ser.. non seems to be money. The peo >le have; got worn out liy 'this kind >f preaching and they say give me 3hrist and Hini' &ricified or emeuse ne from union meetings. After 11 'clock' service one hour for dinner, mfd Sunday afternoqn givei ~iirely ;o son'g service. - :N ia ''" :. Your brother for the pvrg gespel mnadulterated, A. M: Eimnmons. IHE IS "FUILL 0F . PEP" THIEY'HAY She is Good-h~ooking and Gay and Is Always Rteady for' a Good'-Time. Why is a girl popiubir? Look around andl see what a good tIhis'the good looking ones have ali the thnte. Men seek themi out and ask themi to parties, diances arnd entertalieiets. And notice that it is not the doll-face typeO i'eal men like mdst,'butthe red blooded girl with "pep' and happy good natui'e. Any girl who is tired und languied and hasq a poor co 1 ex.. on and dull eyes dan dzipre -her sondition and be far happier if she nill simply take Gude's Pepto Mangaq mntil she has put her blood in goi iondition. Red blood means "full o.f Ife" and "full of-life" usuilly meaN iappiness. Try Gude's Pepto-Mangan and see mow much better you feel. Doctors inve, used it nearly thirty years for reak, run-down people. If helph the/n J. Wallington Potts son found with a small amount of likker for his own use, but right here is where one of the beauties: of any thoroughly~ through-out plan. comes in. On'- of the weak points: i-this other proposed plan is that few juries would send to the chaingang an otherwise half-decent citizen just because he had a small phial of the essence of home-made fertilizer on his hip. Under my plan the culptit would never get to a jury. Trials are -a useless expense, anyw&y, and undeir the jury system some guilty devil might escape his just deserts. A jury might argue that anybody who drinks the kind made these days ought to be in the asylum instead of on the chaingang. "All officers being the very high est type of citizenship, as you well know, under mny plan they would be I empowered to shoot, or otherwise execute, any person found or sus peeted of making, selling, toting, drinking, or asking about the afore said damnable delight of the devil, cr-mmonly called likker. And any person so executed would be auto matically fined $100 for the county, $200 for the. state, $300 for the Unit ed States, and if executed in 'town $100 for the town, and. the executing officers should receive one-half the fines so as to make it unnecessary for him to execute more than one person a week to make expenses. "I tell you, man, I've studied it all out and ,it will work. Put this plan to working and we, will clean out all the undesirable trash and us better class of people will have some peace and a chance to maintain our dignity. What do you think of it.? "Why, Colonel," we replied, "you know we couldn't have any such law I as that; it would violate the consti tution.'' "Constitution!" roared the Col onel, jumping up and banging the table with such force that a piece of plastering fell from the wall; "what the h are you talking about-the frigate,. Constitution or the Atlanta Constitution ?" "The Constitution of the United States," we meekly replied. "Another one gone wrong," mut tercd Colonel Potts as he walked over to our platinum plated telephone and called for a certain number; "Say, officer," he said, "sweep out padded cell No. 17; I've. got a man here who thinks the Constitution of the United States is still in force."
