In His generosity, has seemed to realize that if ever again there is to be peace on earth and good will to men it will be through the intervention of the Cnited States, and has blessed this country with one of the most remarkable harvests wc have had in years. Every ounce of food that can be se? cured and saved will be needed. It is almost Impossible, even for those closely in touch with the demands of war, to fully realize the miraeulou? means that must be brought into play to meet the bare necessities entailed by the world's war. The government August crop report and the general rains throughout the country during the last few day: bring cheer and comfort to the Unit Id States and to the allies. The corn promises to exceed, achording to fed? eral estimates, by 60,000,000 bushels the greatest previous crop, that ot 1912. The potato crop, while not so prosperous in some sections, is, ac? cording to the government estimate the greatest in the history of the country?104,000,000 bushels above the five-year average or a total of | 407,000,000 bushels. The oat crop Is the second largest on record in thi> country. The wheat crop, howe\ er. has fallen somewhat below expecta? tions. From the facts and figures submit tad by the department of agriculture: there has been vast increase in near? ly every department of the farm, j Interest has quickened throughout the country. It may be said that this merely marks tho beginning. In a year another story will be told. Farm land that has been idle for years will be rejuvenated. Already the States of ! New England have gone back to the j agricultural industry that won for the (colonies their freedom years ago. The necessity for food has kindled a determined spirit in the heart of the former to meet this demand. If vve have done exceptionally well j this year we will di still greater things next year. In the meantime we must be ever' ! on the alert and must avail ourselves of every opportunity. The days of autumn lay before the farmer ami must not be wasted. The work of i i the spring and summer must be sup-j j plemented by still greater work of i i autumn. It is a matter of congratulation that the. bountiful crops of the country earns just at the tints whan T' v will be most needed and most < .eclat? ed. For this we will have reason to give thanks in November. HurtsMllc Scouts Arrive. About twenty members of the Hartsvllle troup of Boy Scouts, i:-. ? barge of Scoutmaster McLood arriv? ed in the elty this morning over the Seaboard. They have pitched their tents at Pocalla Springs and will re main there about ten days, Arrange? ments for their encampment were made sometime ago through th Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Beck tiff proprietor of Pocalla Sprint s. The boys are expecting a good time and the local troop is assisting them in their preparation for pleasure. Mrs. W. F. Forehand, and son. Raymond, ot Savannah, Ga;, are tin guests of Mrs. R. B. Wilder on Weal : Liberty St. Angust Meeting or tin* WonntU's Mis? sionary Noelety of the Paxvllle M<'tii'idist church. Became of thin meeting ruining in the heated Bcuson ?pedal effort was put forth by the president, Miss Jes? sie Curtis, to make it an attractive one. Jt was held on the lawn of Mrs. s. B. Curtis, on Wedncsduy af? ternoon, August 1st, which bad been made very attractive by the use of Hags floating gaily among the trees, and other Bhrubbory. Beautiful pot plants and yases of cut flowers were tastily arranged about. The Bubjeci for the month was: "Th; Kingdom of ? '.od In Homo Mission Schools. The Kingdom of Cod In Brar.ll." The president opened with tho beautiful Bible lesson, "Following Christ iu j Seeking the Lost." At Jesus' feet we must learn the art and mystery of soul winning, to live with Christ is the best education for usefulness. Live With Jesus, follow Jesus, and lie will make you fishers of men. Live in fellowship with Christ and there shall he about you an air and a manner as of one who Ik s been made in heart and mind apt to teach and wise to win souls. The member? ship joined in the singing of hymns 396, 402, accompanied by Miss Vivian Curtis on the violin. Special prayer was made for the teachers in home mission schools, and for the mission? aries in Brasil. The secretary report? ed the issuing of invitations to the Plnewood and Andrew Chapel socie? ties to meet with us on tin:- occasion, it was the regret that there was no response by presence from either so? ciety. Under the head of business was the election of Mrs. Alex 1 Rey? nolds for secretary, and Mrs. W. K. Keels OS treasurer, to serve Indefinite? ly. Next Thursday afternoon was des? ignated as "Clean up Day" for th< church and premises. Miss Bthol Corbett was asked to arrange a liter? ary and musical program to be given in the near future for the benefit of the church piano fund. Th subject being "Educational Evangelism," the two leaflets were presented by Miss Ethel Corbett and Mrs Joe Minis, Jr. Tiie first of these ''Educational Evangelism in Brazil," previously oslgnod to Miss Corbett had been carefully studied and she gave the gist of its contents in a short talk. She had made, also a directory of all who are doing educational evangelism for the Council in Brasil, and located the different schools, by placing gold stars upon the map out? line. Our missionaries and all who have studied conditions in our sister republic are convinced that educa? tional evangelism is necessary to cor? rect Roman Catholic error and to plant deeply in the ' a of Brasil the faith of the risen living Christ. One of the great opportunities for educa? tional evangelism in Brasil would re suit from the establishment of an in? stitution for the higher oducntion of young women In Rio do Janeiro. This beautiful city, with Its population of more than a million, oilers an ideal location for a girls' college under Strong Christian control. "Educational Evangelism In Our Home Mission Schoo's" was presented by Mrs. Joo .Miras as a symposium of ten ssho )ls conducted by the Council in our own land. She made the opening spec ^h in a very impres? sive mann? r, and introduced the prin? cipals of the several .schools as fol? lows, placing stars upon the outline raited States map, as the different schools were presented by members o fthe society who represented these principals.

Voshtl Industrial School and| Paine Annex (our negro school) nt Augusta, Ca., were assigned Mrs. Wash Keels, but lac k of time only mention was given them. The monthly bulletin was distributed in slips to which was attached n white rose favor. there the numbers rend in turn. As tho offering was being made Misn Vivian Curtis sweetly ren? dered the violin nolo "Traumeii." . The program was concluded with a chain of prayer for Braxll and our home mission schools. A nodal half hour was spent, during which several phonograph selections were enjoyed. Refreshments consisting of ham am! chicken sandwiches, ta on Ires peaches, and iced tea were served bv some young ladie s of the auxiliary. Mrs. T. W. Gunter, Publicity Superintendent.
