A Very Happy Birthday. On Thursday afternoon, June IS, Geraldine Mairie Sudduth, of near Murray, was made very happy when a group of little girls and boys came to her home to help her celebrate her Sth birthday. With surprise her lit tle heart leaped with joy as her beaming eyes viewed the nice little gifts each presented to her. The afternoon was spent most joy fully by the little folks; playing out door games and eating popcorn, af ter spending the few hours in games, they were invited in to partake in the pleasure of the birthday cake, consisting of a large angel-food cake bearing eight pink and yellow cand les, after which they entered the dining room with great delight to enjoy eating ice cream and cake. Then as evening drew on. and they were sorry to see it come so soon, they departed fcr their homes, tell ing Geraldine they sure had a good time and wishing her many more such happy birthdays. A day to ever be remembered by Geraldine and her little friends. Those present were: George Thompson. Gwendolynn Hansen, Jimmie Hessanflow. Gladys Vantine, Arduth Reed, Billy Reed.

Are Building; a Cistern The old cave which has been used at the resbyterian church some time since as a place to house their gas lighting plant and which with the coming of the electric lights, was no longer needed for this purpose, has been torn down and the brkk cleaned by the Rev.

Billy Sunday is a great evangelist j and has done seme wonderful work i in the line of holding revivals all ' over the country, and as well has I made much money out of conducting! the work of rounding up the out casts and making better people out ot them. He is a benefactor to his race, and is entitled to recompense here as well as hereafter. But Billy Sunday, the evangelist. is not in it along with Peter the I:ock, the disciple with a message to' i i.o entire woria. lr.e .Master nau commanded Peter and the rer-t of U.e disciples to tarry in Jerusalem 1 1 ';ntil thev should be given power from on high. This came at Pente cost. (Read the second ?a?ter Acts of the Apostles.) There were g 3.000 converted at the be ginning of i the establishment of the church. S This made a working membership and from that time until now there! has been work a plenty for all mem bers of the churches to do. How ever hard they may have worked. there has always been need of more work. Following but a short time after! "5 er i n of S the establishment of the first church, John and Peter were into ; i Solomon's temple, when they noticed . cripple at the btautiiul gate of the temple. The cripple expected to re ceive a bit of money from the mis sionaries, but instead be received a cure for the troubles which he had had all his life and salvation from idns with an opportunity t' in herit everlasting life. These- two men were practicing their Christianity. In the early church all fared the same and many who were possessed of lands sold them and ga'-e the pro ceeds into the church, which pro vided for their temporal needs as weil as their spiritual ones. Anna nias and his wife Saphira thought they could get the honor of the same thing which Joseph had dore and when the found an opportunity to sell their land, they CAi so. but pu; away a portion of the money, while they took the rest and pretended they were giving the full price of the land to the church. For this attempting to lie to the Holy Spirit they were stricken dead and the name Annanias has come down to us of the present day as one denoting h liar. I', was the aim to keep the early church rure and free from graft and aouble dealing and this instance had !ts effect for a long time. Oh, where would many be who are now mem bers of some church body merely for the purpose cf what it might bring them in politics, business or a posi tion in society. Real Christianity requires a sterling honesty of pur m?i at this time as well as in the car!y days of the church. The early hurch had is persecutions and as rin instance. Stephen was stoned to Jeath. while later James, the broth er of John was beheaded, in order that Herod might please the Jews. ?.nd these two murders were used for the advancement cf people in a political sense. In politics good people should cote for good people and all should combine for the best of all. that the best of law should be fully enforced, but no one is a Christian who uses the church and its members only for his own aggrandizement and not the best interests of the whole people. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the King's dainties and in the end won out in the Persian empire and was able to render many people the real service ot a Christian. He sure was !iot a booiiegsrer. and would not have been at this day. Phillip took the message of the Master to the Etheopian and after teaching him in the way of the Christ, sent him on his way and he also became a missionary for the Master. Just following this a most notable event occurred. Saul cf Tarsus, who v.as a most able man, and also a per secutor of the early church, having wunessed the killing cf Stephen, con- iuded to go to Damascus, there to turther continue his relentless war r.n the church, and it locks like he was in the same boat as Jonah, at tempting to run away from his own .onscience. While was thus en gaged he was stricken at noonday, ..n the way to Damascus, and was converted, ever afterwards making a most earnest ai d ardent worker for the church, working even more en thusiastically for the new church than he had against it before. Peter, who had views of his own as to what was reeded, was hard to convince what was required by the; Master when he established Chris- fruity and it took three visions to convince him that he was to preach ! the gospel unto the entire world. In ' the lesson of last week we get a 1 vision of the mission of the church, when the members prayed for the preservation of Peter, and in this there was a live, working, prayerful and faithful membership of the church, when they were all working for the good of all and for the mem bers. When any church becomes fully awake to the purpose and real aim of salvation they become mis sionary in nature. For what would be the enjoyment of one in heaven, when he should realize that he had lived a life of ease and indifference, not doing anything to show that he was grateful for the gift of eternal life, and not eternal commendation. People are saved for a purpose so that they may be instruments In the aalvation of other.

' Is yuiir father a Christian?'' The lad replied. "Sure thing, but he is not working at it now." This matter of being a Christian Is one which requires one to work at it all the time.
