An UnpleatanfSubJect AH of the functions of life are nqt pleasant to consider. Perhaps this is why some mothers refuse to think that flesh, flogers in their children, can be eausedby round or pin worms. Many mothers nave-proven, however, thata few doses of White's Cream Vermi fuge, that sure and harmless worm expellant, will make these symptoms disappear. You can get White’s Cream Venzufuge for 35 cents per bottle from STROMS’ DRUG STORE ! P r ® ach ® d: & \ 1 and John Once upon a time some soldier boys, who had been on a long bike for several weeks, arrived at Glasgow. The next day being Sun day, several of the ooys went to church. All of them had a prayer oook except one. This one boy had a deck of cards. A private by the name of Rich ard Lee was taken before the may or cf Glasgow for playing cards during the divine service, and the account of the trial is'as follows: , A sergeant commanded the sold iers at the church, and when the parson had read the prayers the text was taken next. Those who had a Bible took it out, but this soldier had neither Bible nor pray er book, but pulling out a pack of cards, he spread them out before aim. He looked first at one card and then at another. The sergeant saw him and said, “Richard, put up those cards. This is no place for them.” “Never mind that,” said Richard. When the service was over the constable took the soldier a prison er and brought him before the hiayor. “Well, what have you brought the soldier here for?” asked the v i ■ mayor. - “For playing cards in church.” “Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself?” “Much, sir, I hope.” “Very good. If not, I will punish you more than ever man was pun ished.” “I have been,” said the soldier, “about six weeks on the march. I have no Bible or prayer book. I have nothing but a pack of cards, but I hope to satisfy your honor of the purity of my intentions.” Then spreading the cards before the mayor*he began with the ace: “When I see the ace it reminds me that there is. but one God. When I see the deuce, it reminds me of the Father and the Son. When I see the trey, it reminds me of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. When I see the four, it reminds me j of the four evangelists that Matthew, Mark, Luke “Things I Ate Hurt Me” "I had a severe case of indiges tion,” says Mrs. Beil Buckheister, 7 River St., Piedmont, S.

I would be obliged to eat a little, then it would hurt me "A friend said to me: ’Why don’t you take Black-Draught?’ "I was just too weak then to do my work.

I Look After The Forage And Hay The time for spring seeding of forage and hay crops is rapidly passing, says Thos. W. Morgan, county agent, who has been busy for the past several weeks placing orders for seeds of such crops as velvet beans, soy beans, sorghum, and Sudan grass, for summer and fall forage and hay crops. The high price and scarcity of cowpeas for the past several years has brought the velvet bean and soy bean into prominence in Mc- 3oimick county, and, according to Mr. Morgan, this is a blessing in iisguise. for more hay can be made from the right varieties of these Street tax for the year 1930 is crops than can be made from cow- due and payable at the office of seas.

I. The King Foretells His Death and Resurrection (vv. 17-19). 1. Tile King on His way to Jeru salem (v. 17). This is His last journey to the be loved city. He took the twelve disciples aside from the traveling pilgrims to make known unto them what was be fore them. As they journeyed, lie went ahead of the disciples. The courage thus shown by the Lord amazed the disciples who were following in fear (Mark 10:32). 2. The betrayal and deaUi foretoith (vv. IS, 19). He went forward, fully conscious of the awful tragedy of the cross. He for the third time since the transfigura tion tells the disciples of His ap proaching sufferings and death. Hut they are so filled with their ambitious schemes that they do not understand Him. The treachery of Judas, the fierce persecutions by the chief priests and scribes, the unjust judgment, the de livery to Pontius Pilate, the mockery, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross, the hanging between two malefactors, the nails, the spear—all were spread before His mind like a picture! Though He knew all this. He pressed on, not of necessity, hut de liberately/ The joyous outlook upon the victory which would he accom plished by the shedding of His blood led Him forward, lie went courage ously, for He knew the time had come for the accomplishment of His Fa ther's will. 3. The resurrection foretold (v. 19). Truly, tills would have been a dark picture had the resurrection not been made known. The resurrection life beyond is always seen as the issue of the cross. The blessedness of the life beyond tills “vale of tears” should induce us to press on. Christ is (he grand example. (Heb. 12:2). II. The Ambitious Request of James and John (vv. 20-23). 1. Tlie request (vv. 20.21). This request was made by mother. The request was for a of prominence in the kingdom, not wrong for mothers to be ambitious for their boys, but they should know that life’s pinnacles are exceedingly dangerous. It is desirable that parents should get places for (heir children near to Jesns, but the vain ambition of the world should not bccupy their minds. 2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 22,23). He spoke directly to the men, not to their mother, declaring that they knew not what they were asking. lie showed them that the way to this position of glory was through suffer ing. 'Hie cup whicli they were to drink was of great agony. The way to the places of glory in I he kingdom of Christ is by the patii of lowly and self-forgetting service. ill. How to Be Truly Exalted (vv. 21-28). 1. The angry disciples (v. 21). When the ten heard of the request of James and John, they were filled with indignation against them. Their displeasure did not arise from the fact that they were free from the same self ish spirit, hut that these two had thrust themselves to the front. 2. Greatness among (he heathen (v. 25). The rule of the world has always been by the strong hand. The stand ards liavr; not been moral excellence, but worth, station, and power. 3. Greatness among Christ’s disciples (vv. 20. 27). The standard here is in sharp con trast. The way to the place of promi nence in Christ’s kingdom is the way of self-abasement. To give is greater than to receive. To he serving some one is much better than to be served. There will he degrees of rank in Christ’s kingdom, hut this rank will be character, not position, or author ity. The spirit of Christ substitutes “the greatness of love for the love of greatness.” # 4. Christ is the supreme example of greatness (v.28). All who will bo great should study and imitate Christ. Let them forget self and serve others, even to the giv ing of their lives. The London naval conference i meeting with about as much s"c cess as would a conference to Cl - arm bandits.
