provide a cash thank offering at
the approaching Christmas season
of $2,000,000. The' proceed! will
be appHed toward the retirement
of heavy debta upon the Home and
Foreign Mistlon Boards and several
other agencies of the Convention.
Combined debts of approximately
$6,700,000 are now owed by the
various Southern Baptist Conven
tion boards and institutions, these
debts having accumulated over a per
iod of several years because the reg
ular receipts from the churches have
act been sufficient to maintain the
work of the various Institutions as
expanded a few years ago when the
churches were supporting missions
and benevolences more generously
than they are today. A portion of
the total Indebtedness is bonded

man in another state has announced

the Southern Baptist Brotherhood,
an effort la being made to enlist
all the large Baptist business men

several hundred thousand dollars is
expected.
In Its appeal for the success of
this cash offering, the Executive
Committee of the Southern Conven
tion Is asking Individual Baptists
throughout the South to loin in giv
ing sacriflcially to this purpose
through the elimination of unneces
sary giving to one another and mak
ing their Christmas gifts to Christ
and his causes instead.

One can learn many things about
beauty, if one’s life be consecrated to
the serious study of so greet a sub

There is first tha knowledge of the
power that beauty gives. A little
htter the knowledge that, to keep
beauty “clear and fair," it must have

the experience of victory over the
foes of beauty which are—wind and
weather, neglect, improper diet, lack
of exercise—even mom than age.
And now I am invited to meet you
and talk to you about beauty. We
should have many profitable chats
together, you—the hurdmis and
thousands of women in every State

years have studkid, experimented,
practiced and taught the subject of
heauty in ajl corners of the globe.

shall share with me the beauty secrets
that life has been good enough to

I do assure you that in dedicating
these columns to you it is with the

It was a beautiful Thanksgiving
morning when Br’er Rabbit started
out for a walk before he had the won
derful dinner which his wife was pre
paring for him and the bunnies.
Bye and bye he came to where Mis
ter Jay Bird was seated on the limb of
a hickory tree and he sat down for a
few minutes to talk to the bird.*
“Do you know,” began Mister Jay J ® y mt T l '
Bird, “I can’t see why you haven’t a

waking up when the sun had started
down hill.
“Merry mel" exclaimed Br’er Rab
bit, when he awoke. “I’ll be late for
dinner.’ 9 He rushed toward! his
home and arrived just in time for the
*nxanksdwing meal He took his
place at the head of the table and whs
surprised to hear all the bunnies
snickering. “What’s the matter,” he
asked, in surprise.
“Look at your ta, : <l!” shouted Bus
ter Bunnie.
“Gracious!” exclaimed Br’er Rab
bit “I wanted to make my tail like
Mrs. Squirrel’s, so I tied it up as
tail like Mrs. Squirrel. With those
Icvely ears of yours and a large
bushy tail, you’d be the handsomest
animal in the forest.”
“I really think so myself,” replied
the rabbit.
“I tell you what yon can do,” said
the bird. “You take some pawpaw
bark and tie up your tail real tight.
You’re going to have Thanksgiving
dinner, aren’t you?’V
“Yes,” answered Br’cir Rabbit.
“Well by the time you are ready to
eat, your tail will be as large and as
bushy as Mrs. Squirrel’^.”
“It will take longer that that, won’t
it?” inquired Br’er Rabbit, anxiously.*
“No it only takes a short while,
that is, if you tie your tail tight
enough. But he sure to take the
bark off before you get home.”
Br’er Rabbit disappeared and soon many telegrams and letters Jiave been
was winding his tail with a piece of received at the hospital from all por-
pawpaw bark, fie wound it as tight tions of the State.
“You know Mister Jay Bird is a
joker,” langhted Mrs. Rabbit. “Next
time be your own sweet self-^we like
you better. Now ask the blessing.”

every woman must take.
The First Step.
Fjrst after correctly washing the
face she should give back to it the
vital elements that have been tem
porarily removed. A soft, rich pas
teurised cream that is gently pene
trative should be applied as a lubri
cant to smooth out tired lines and to
revlitalite the skin. This should not
be a “greasy” cream, remember—but
a cooling, refreshing compound that
leaves no trace of oil.
The Second Step.
As a corrective of aallowness, tan
or discoloration a stimulating, reg
ulating cream that clears, purifies and
whitens the skit.' should be used once
every day. And for the woman whose
skin has become clogged with powder I
or unsuitable cosmetics a cream of
this type is doubly necessary. ,
The Third Step.
Then to give the fatigued tis.-ufus a
bracing tonic, the skirr needs a third
treatment in the form of a mild as
tringent that will firm the contours
and impart a delicate bloojn, a delight
ful smoothness. /

An Yjssential Ally
f |
a course you know that
the banks of every
community are built
to aid and to abet the progress
and success of the territory that
they server
Your local bank might well
be termed the most important
business institution in town—
for around its many financial
responsibilities are woven the
wholcfabricof community credit
and community thrift.
Without this ally—business
could never extend beyond the
limitations of barter and sale.
Without the bank—trade with
outside places could.be handled
only in the most difficult and
inefficient ways.
With no bank in which to
deposit savings—a community
would be deprived of the use of
the working capital that is made
available in large amounts by
the accumulated deposits of
thousands of small savers—and
progress would be subject to the
money influence of the wealthy
few.
, ■ y ■ P •W' mm ■ J ■
After the school and the
church—the bank is the most
influential agency for commun
ity advancement in the whole
body politic—and, by virtue of
the important part that it plays
in the scheme of living, is en
titled to the confidence and sup
port of the community it serves.
Get to know your local bank
—to be on friendly terms with
its officers. Take advantage of
its varied services and use it as
a tool in promoting your awn ad
vancement and success. Look
upon your bank as the best ally
that you can have in working
out the financial problems of
i
your life program. You will
profit by such a relationship in
proportion to the confidence
and patronage you give.
