When Everybody' Works
A movement seems to be
spreading over certain sections
of the country, notably in some
Uf the southern states, which has
great possibilities when proper
ly pushed. ,
The idea is to select a certain
roadway, for instance, which is
is need of improvement and is ,
of vital Interest to all of the
people. The next step is to ar
range for a holiday pn a certain
date, at.which time the people
turn out by the hundreds and
take off their coats and pitch in
and-build the road, or whatever
the object sought may be.
Often the ladies declare a pic
nic and go along and take the
dinners for the men and cheer
them with their presence. It
has proven a success in every
case that has come to our know
ledge. And if it is successful in
other places, why not here. " I
Why can't we of this town de
clare three or four such general
holidays and everybody turn out
and make some improvement
that is greatly needed in our
midst? - .
Why,; can't we do something
that will make this a more at
tractive place for thecommunity
around?
Why can't we do something
that will be of commercial and
civic value to our community?
We need a few get-together
picnics and we need plenty of
improvements and we know of
no better way of getting them

'There sever wee a time when

The ministry, unsophisticated and
confiding, Is no match lor the poli

skilled in deceit, and It Is the duty of
the laymen to protect the ministry
against the onslaught of these wolves
la sheep's clothing and drive the poll
Helens from the pulpit with the lash

problem to keep the mthlatry free
from unholy alliances, for It U said
on divine authority that we are our
