White in his sermon last evening said many things with which we agree but the one outstanding argil- * inent with which we have long co- , ineided is that the church like every - , other btislmwe and organization fol i "over organized." There arc too i 1 many side societies ami dubs and or 1 I’ gnulzations imaging on to the main ' I , body. These sap the life from the parent. The same thing is true In the average business, in the lodje. in * | the community. One of the old lodges ; which used to do a great good now has, ' a dozen side Issues each of which r t ‘ 11 takes some thing from the main one. 1 1 1 Nearly every < hurch has several sub- ■ , organizations and the membership's 1 1 interest is then divided. Rev. White p said if he was a pastor of u local 1 church he would have two organize- r v 1 tions other than his church and two only, Sunday school and a Missionary r society. You can kill any good busi-|r nes.s or any organization by too hueh supposed efficient y which really taks away your opportunity to serve. Some times it seems we devote so much of-. fort to being efficient that we lose track of the main thing for which we, ire striving and Rev. White is the first man we have heard who has the courage to say it about the churches. r=r-. ’ * Little Christmas tree, they-vc slumped yon out in the back yard,—thrown you away And you look as lonely, lying out, there ( As once you looked happy and gay.

or more years, back in the centuries when King Tut constructed his own tomb, he revealed a great desire to prepetuate the memory or his dynasty. Selfishness is paramount in Paganism. Whether it be an Alexander C'aeser. Napoleon, or a Kaiser you will find the brute force in man when left /'on his own." Such men as these arise in their might aud blacken the pages of human history. Every since man has tried to chronicle current event the records have shown the failures of man. The capacity of man's mind is not i broad nor deep enough to conceive, . nor hold a forinuhi comprehensive enough for either an individual or national life. Man's work like his own life is of short duration, but when he listens to the Voice tiiat comes down from "The Rock of Ages” a gleam of light shoots across his Near four thousand /ears ago there was a man of Ur of the Uhalilees that forget self and began Jo lay the foundation upon which posterity could build.

ThU was a small beginning but the plan is divine and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it- Whether this plant takes toot in the hearts of men tn Asia, Africa, Europe or the Americans, the hearts of men will produce the fertile soil and the fruit of the tree will be "Peace on earth and good will toward Men." The brutality ot tnq monarch, the fire and aword of the dark ages, nor tin- subtl lity of his satanic majesty hus'stopped the growth. Neither will the con. troversity between the Liberals and the fundamentals interfere. These men may feel strong enough to carry away the gates of the city like unto Hampson but If they do not help cultivate this tree so that it will bring forth fruit, they like Sampson will soon find themselves fighting with nothing but the jaw bone of an ass and their wind will be discord. We cultivate the tree far Its fruits ami not to talk about its fundamentals. Joseph the great, graud-son of the man of Ur did not stop to talk fundamentals but at once proceeded to save the day for the Hebrew race, jjta showed the pratlcal side of his religion. On next Sunday, January 13th, the teachers of the M. E. Sunday school will try to explain the attitude of Joseph toward his brothers. Bather and the Rharoh of Egypt as guided |>y Divine Wisdom.

J Rahbit Hunting Season 1 Ended In State Yesterda? , Yesterday was the last day of the season to hunt rabbits. From now until spring, any P<‘ta"“ I kiting a wild rabbit is subject to a ■ II heavy fine und the game wardens are 1 said to be keeping a sharp watch. It has seemed that fewer rabbits , were killed this year than lust year. 1 probably due to the fact that there ' has been little «now and since the , snow of a few days ago the weather has been too cold. 1 i There should he many rabbits in the country next year. The plentiful- ’ ness of rabbits depends largely bn ’;thc amount of rain. Many rablilts are drowned, for the rabbit, un-i : like n»bst wild animals has a habit 1 of liullding its nest in low land and ' does not go deep enough to escape ’ water. • rO- ' — Making Plans For State T.
