It has been well said that the Church is the force, but the world is the field. There is that in Christianity that makes its ap|K*al to share with’’ others, as is evidenced in no other religion. It is not a question of propor tion to obtain a world mastery but to give that others may enter into like precious joys and blessings. The Bible is still the greatest missionary book. The selected portions for intensive study this time are (tencsis 12:1-3; Deuteronomy 8:17,18; Jonah 3 1-10, Malacht 3J-L2; M.atthew .28.18-21D 4-:S 8; i3:l-3: 2ft 12-20; Romans 1:14-16; 1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15; 9:1-9 '1 l*ooks for farther study covering each portion of the title, are “< 1 rising Foreign Missions,” Clcland B. McAfee, and “Money, the Acid Tc" ’ James McConaughy. Ai raham was a great foreign missionary as he journeyt*<l from Mrs potamia to Canaan and began the life of the Israelites in Palestine. Hr followed the call of Jehovah and had Imsic part in l>eing the Father of thr Faithful and no race can compare in with the Hebrews in their contribution to the world. Moses can well Ik* classed with Abraham, as he led the nation from !>ondagr to the borders of the Promised I .and. Jonah distinctively a missionary Imm>k as it records how his preaching led the Nmcvitcs to repentance. Rapid developments come with the closing of the earthly worked Jesus Christ.

As they were «tf*edient they were promised “l.o I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” The Acts of the Apostles is a history of the fidelity of the early Church in <4trying their Lord’s command. Paul Inrcamc the mighty apostle to the Gentiles. It costs to accomplish any program. Giving is spontaneously an act of worship. This is recognized in every religion of the earth. P»ut no work can lx* maintained by s|tasm<»dic gitts. Today wc talk aUiut making a budget and this surely applies in connection with our contrihuti<tns to help make the Great C ommistion effective Throughout the Old Testament wc find that the Hebrew practised the principle of tithing. Malachi asks that the "whole tithe" !*■ given over. This means honesty in administra tion But thr Hebrew did far more than give a tenth. He added many free will and thank offerings It is calculated that the Pharisee con tributed at least one fourth of his earnings. We must give both proportionately and systematically, l^rt thr tithe be tht minimum. I-ist week a man said to the writer that hr planned to give for the Lords work at least as much as he sjx’nt on his home and personal expenses. Paul taught the principle of weekly giving fr«xn the anwnmt already laid up in store. This apostle was always taking up an offering for the i>oor saints in Jerusalem and he was a blessing to them each time he hel;»ed them share with others less blessed. One said that Personal consecration means “purse and aJl" consecration. r % — KOKU VKI>-LOOM.\<; PLOPLE V-!LI.

A contest and “kids” games were played for an hour or so bringing Havana, Cuba.—Mystic voodoo rites practiced In many parts of the United States have been linked by recent in vestigation with the cult of Xanigoism In Cuba. Comparative analysis of African sacrificial customs have furnished un usual evidence that both had a corn- men origin in the Congo jungles and that voodoolsm reached the American continent by the Importation of slaves from Cuba and Haiti. “Obenh,” a mild form of voodoolsm. Is practiced In Cuba and the British West v Indies with virtually identic corflinonion^ Xegsoes who came ur Ta- back to the minds of the guests their happy childhood days. Sandwiches and Russian tea were served. The Williston School Improvement association met at Williston grammar school Tuesday afternoon with a splendid attendance. Miss Celeste Kent presented the first grade in a number of songs, recitations and a delightful play, “The Dolly Show.” Mrs. T. C. Hair is visiting relatives here and at Elko. Miss Lois Hollis spent Sunday with her sister, Mrs. Smith, at Fairfax. Misses Grace DuVernet and Ruby Clark spent Saturday in Augusta. G. C. Matthews attended federal court in Columbia Monday as a juror. bor In Cuban sugar cane fields have brought to this Spanish-speaking Is land not only the Oheah but also the far more terrible and sanguinary rite of Xinilga. The high priests and priestesses of these cults have shown great powers of resistance to the sup- presslve measures of the police. Cuba has dealt severely with voo- doolsfti, and it is believed that its more ghastly forms have fK*en eliminated. It was largely In connection with the government's campaign against Oheah- Dm and X.inigoism that measures were adopted curtailing the Immigra tion of Illiterate workers from Haiti and Jamaica. Takes Criminal Aspect. Oilba has been particularly con cerned because yimhIooDiii here takes on a criminal aspect entirely exclu sive of the porfsibility of human sacri fice. In • province, whicil lies , nearesl Haiti, the voodoo priests of that Island wield large (towers. In other (tarts of the Island Xanigtdsm Is dominant ttimmg the negnte* wlto take their religion In this form. Xanigoism Is a combination of devil woraMp ami gang spirit. Its priests promise occult (towers to hrw break ers. and iiiemltors of this cult are pledged to render nil possible protec tion and assistance to each other. .Vs far as can be learned the sym bolism of tlie cults Is very similar. Ajl Include the sacrifice of roosters, black cals, goats and other animals. Cuban police records show cases where the perpetrators of murder in conncH’tion with voodoolsm have been brought to justice, but It is claimed that this type of sacrifice has been eradicated. Havana newspapers continue to chronicle cases of Xanigo outrages committed against those who have in curred the enmity of the gangsters. It has been found that there is always some one willing to carry out the priests’ orders, because a Xanigo neophyte fails of membership unless he lias one capital crime to his credit. At Xanigo funerals a black rooster Is slaughtered in the home of the de ceased.

One of the strangest superstitions In the Haitian cult is that a certain bone in a black cat’s body will confer invisibility to its possessor. The rite Misses Willie Bush Deason, Julia Lemon, Frances and Nell Moore ,of Winthrop College, are spending the Spring holidays with Barnwell rela tival takes place in the presence of three witnesses,, and the cat is thrust into hot water. It is related by voodooists that supernatural manifestations, such as thunder and lightning, are an ac companiment of this process. In the early years of the Nineteenth century Jean La Fitte, famous pirate of the Spanish Main, frequently brought slaves to Cuba and the United States. His principal market in the United States was New Orleans and this fact is now being used to explain the par ticularly close similarity between the voodoolsm of Cuba and that of the lower Mississippi valley. There is a tradition that La Fitte’s entourage included several African “conjur doctors.” The successors of these doctors to day have considerable knowledge of herbs and the curative properties of plant Juices. In general they are em ployed to effect cures, but with other herbs the doctor-priests qge said to her able to cause temporarj^or perma nent loss of memory to theirynemles. Thlf belief appears substantiated by the recent discovery by United 'State* marines in Haiti of a colony (k pe- groes, dazed or hypnotized, wonting under their task matters on a pi a tlon.

To us, for whom coconut means iii*-:• • i\ a jjuifectloii, oV. if we be a little more‘chemical minded, oil for soaps and butter substitutes, it is hard to bring home the lm|K)rtunce of coconuts for the brown people of the UacifU*. To them the coconut tns* means both food and shelter, fre quently rope* mid rlotliing, and in ad- diUon, towadays, white men’s trade goods. Tin* coconut lias been called the most useful tree in the world, at least certalnjy It is the most useful tree in the tropi<*s. So when the innumerable sluglike caterpillars of the moth culled levu- anna began to eat ail the leaves off the coconut tree in Fiji, and threat ened to spread over the whole South Pacific area, there was consternation. The insect had a host of natural enemies, but they did not seem too be able to make any impression on its swarming numbers. Then one day the tiny flies of the family tachlnidas, a species known as ptychomyla remota, was brought over from the Federation Malay states and turned loose. The tachinids have a pleasant habit of laying their eggs in the eggs of other insects, and There was no real pleasure In living said Mr. R. E.

For three years 1 had suffered with terrible agony in my stomach. Everything 1 ate caused me dis tress. No matter how careful I tried to be my food would sour, ferment and form gas. Some doc tors said it was due to my nerves, others said it was caused by the liver I took a lot of medicine, but It didn't do me any good.
