Strawberry growers with years of fertilizing experience, tell us that several applications of fertilizer makes much better berries than does one application all at one time. • Remember—too much -stable man ure makes the berries grow fast and makes them harder to keep. Plenty of phosphoric: acid and potash with very little nitrogen is the ideal fer tilizer for strawberries. Berries are always a wonderful ad dition tto tanyone’s table, and the beauty about them a£ a crop, is that both the city man and the country man can have them. They even make a nice border for flower beds, but you must keep the runners trimmed.

It*a Final arrangements for the stag ing of the Willistcn-Elko Community Fair Friday, November 7th, haye been completed. Plans for the ex hibition of cattle, poultry, farm pro ducts, garden and field vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, fancy work, art, antiques, etc. etc., are well under way. The local schools and other schools co-operating in the high school project will have booths. The officers, directors and committees feel that a Fair worth while will be held. The Annual D. A. R. Flower show held at the same time this year will be a most attractive feature. While the recent cold weather has damaged outside flowers considerably, those in charge of this show are sure that some very beautiful flowers will be shown. A small admission fee will give admittance to both the flower show and the fair. . v The ladies of the School Improve ment Association will serve dinner on the grounds.

The name Thomas means “a twin.” His alternate name, Didymus. means the same. From the linking of his name with Matthew in the listing of the disciples, It Is commonly inferred that Thomas was a twin brother of Matthew. . Thomas is constantly presented !n the Scriptures as a man of skeptical mind, yet of unquestioned character. He was an honest doubter. The Lord is not displeased when nieji put him to the test. No ^honest sceptic has ever been left in darkness. The truth of Christ’s declaration still obtains, “If any man will do his will, he shall know” (John' 7:17). I. The Fidelity of Thomas (John 11:14-16). When Lazarus, the beloved brother In the Bethany home, was sick, the distressed sisters, Mary and Martha, sent for Jesus because they had come to know him as more than a jnere man. Jesus, after a strange delay, •went to Bethany. He knew, and ap parently the disciples knew, that going to Judea at this time meant death. His mission in going unto Judea was twofold: to strengthen the faith of the disciples (vv. 11-15), and to restore to these sisters their dead brother. Jesus fearlessly discharged his duty, though his life had been threat ened. He plainly declared that Laz arus was dead. Thomas was skeptical as to Jesus’ ability to raise Lazarus from the dead. In spite of this fact, his loyalty moved him to cast his lot with Je'hns. II. Jesus, the Way to the Father's House (John 14:5-85. Jesus asked the disciples to trust in him even as they trusted in God, assuring them that he wtfs going to the Father’s house and would come back and escort them to heaven. Christ asserted that he is: 1. The Way to God (v. 0).. Jesus is more than a mere guide to the Father’s house or a teacher, lie is the way itself. 2. The Truth (v. 6). He is not merely the teacher of truth, but he is the truth incarnate. In him we have the truth about man, what lie is and what he ought to he and what he shall be in the future. In him especially we have the truth about God. Only as Christ reveals God can men know him (John 1:18). 3. The Life (v. 0). Christ is not merely the giver of life. He is the very essence of life. III. Thomas Makes Absolute De mands (John 20:24-29). 1. Jesus manifests himself to the PYTHIAN LODGE TO HA} E PROMINENT SPEAKERS It has been announced that the Barnell Knights of Pythias lodge will have several prominent Pythians at a meeting here tomorrow (Friday) night. Among them will he Past Grand Chancellor C. A. Edwards, of Columbia and Grand Keeper of Rec ords and Seal C. D. Brown, of Ah- beville.

The ladiea of the Baptist Church will aetve an oyatet supper in the room of the church during the to any that Mrs. G. M Greeae and her able corps of efficient disciples, Thomas being absent (vv. 24, 2o). 1 He was absent at Jesus’ first ap pearance after the resurrection, just why, we may never know. IIis absence deprived him of a vision of the Lord. Absence from the assembly of believ ers always occasions loss. The other disciples went to Thomas with the glad news of the resurrection, but he did not believe their testimony. His stubborn disbelief was such that he doggedly declared that unless he saw the nail prints and put his finger therein and thrust his hand into the Lord's side lie would not believe. 2. Jesus manifests himself to the disciples, Thomas being present (vv. 20-29). ()bserve: (1) The Lord's kindness to those who have difficulties (vv. 26, 27). Thomas deserved rebuke, but the Lord quietly supplied the evidence demanded. (2) The Lord reveals himself to Thomas (vv. 27. 28). Upon this revelation of himself Thomas was transformed from a doubter to a confessor. 3. The superior blessing of believ ing without sight (v. 29). Having patiently furnished Thomas with tangible evidence of his resur rection, Jesus instructed him that to believe in him without such tangible evidence as he demanded was a higher and better state of mind than his.
