We hope the friends of The Record,
when they come to town to do
their trading.will patronize the business
houses that advertise in this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
of subscription would be at least $3
a year for such a paper as The Record.
You'll find, as a rule, that the
men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This applies not only j
to Kingstree, but many live and up- j
to-date business men of Lake City, j
Scranton and Greelyville recognize;
- the pulling power of an ad in The

BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED
Jeremiah 37?Aug. 20
"Blessed are ye uhen met i shall it rile you and
persecute you and shall sou all manner of ml
ayuiiut you fui+tiy fot sly uake."?\Laithttf

person or thing perse- utoj
possessed some qualities <>r
powers that are feared. When
the persecution is for religion ir proves
that the persecutor realizes his owe
weakness to meet the argument in a
more rational way.
Today's study draws our ntteu#!?fu to
the persecutions endured by one of the
Lord's faithful rrophets. lie was :

nation. He was of course misunderstood
by the king and his counsellors.
They did not like him because he told
the truth, fearlessly?they preferred
prophets who would tell them of their
own wisdom, greatness and the success
of their policies.
At the time of this study Zedekiah
was on the throne. He was a vassal
to Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Chaldeans,
whose seat of empire was to
the north. Hoping for assistance from
Egypt on the south. Judah revolted,
contrary to the warning of the Lord
through Jeremiah. The Chaldeans laid
siege, and the Egyptian army started
for their deliverance.
Tet Jeremiah persisted in declaring
as at first that the end of the kingdom
was near, that they would be swallow
ed up In Babylon.
Faithful Jeremiah Persecuted
When the Chaldean army had withdrawn
from the siege, Jeremiah concluded
to cast his lot with some of the
nation living outside the city walls?
in the portion of the tribe of Benjamin.
Attempting to do this he was
arrested on the charge of disloyalty?
that he had given himself over to cowork
with the Chaldeans against the
interests of his own land. Although
he denied the charge he was put Into
prison.
Jerusalem was honeycombed with
underground cisterns and vaults, arched
overhead, and these were called
"calrtns." They were designed to be
reservoirs for water in time of drought
or of siege. The bottoms of these
"cabins." or cisterns, after the removal
of the water, were frequently
deep with mud and slime. The next
chapter tells us of the terrible condition
of the dungeon into which Jeremiah
was put. We read. "They let
down Jeremiah with cords, and in the
dungeon there was no water but mire;
so Jeremiah sunk in the mire." When
finally they drew him out they took
"old cast ofT clouts and rotten rags
and let them down by cords iuto the
dungeon to Jeremiah." who put then
under his arms and was drawn up by
the cords. In this dungeon the Prophet
remained "many days."
Blessed Are They Who Are Persecuted
For Righteousness' Sake
We are reminded of others who were
put In prison for righteousness' sake.
Saints Peter and
John. Sulnts
Paul and Silas.

The kin0?pr.,itt con- hnn(ls nn(j fwf
fa^t ln the
stocks, they were yet able to sing
praise to God for tlie privilege they
enjoyed of suffering with Christ, suffering
for righteousness' sake, and :
thus filling up a share of the afflic- j
tions Of Christ. Such characters we ;
are to emulate. We are to understand I
that such joy and peace in the midst j
of sorrow and persecution can come j
only from the Lord.
The Master's words iu our text ap j
ply yesterday, today and tomorrow?s<> j
long as the reign of evil is permitted
"Blessed are ye when men shall re- j
vile you and persecute you. and say i
all manner of evil against you falsely i
for My sake." But to be worthy of !
this blessing, and to receive it means
to develop and possess a character
which the enemies of righteousness
would deem worthy of persecution.
The Scriptures declare that persecution
will be the portion of the faithful
people of God through this Age?until
the establishment of the Kingdom
of Messiah. Under the new regime
suffering for righteousness will not be
possible. Mark the Master's words.
"Whosoever will live godly in this
present time shall suffer persecution."
To live godly means, not merely to
abstain from vicious and overt sin. but
to be a hero in the strife, a defender
of the right and an opposer of the
wrong?n servant of righteousness, a
soldier of the cross.

he.aequireth a suit of clothes turned
up at the bottom two furlonps above
his feet. He displaveth a pair of
noisy sox. with purple background

lowcut shoes and a preen tie. He
