Was married to Miss Rosa Rice, of Brookport, veal years ago and moved to Joppa, to reside, where he breathed his last April, 15. He professed a hope in Christ, Sept., 1917, and joined the Clover Leaf Baptist church. He grew in Grace and made a strong soldier for Christ and was made a protem deacon of said church. During his illness he was continually saying, he was a christian and only waiting on the Lord. The funeral was attended Monday morning by Rev. J. B. McCrary, and the body was taken to Unionville for burial. Interment in Siloam Cemetery. Rest in Peace. Unity. Ill.

Prof. McCelland Smith, closed successful term of school in Belgrade last Friday, and several of citizens attended the closing. S. S. Didactics; What, When, and How to Teach. (By E. W. Turner.) (To be continued next week.) One of our modern writers has aptly said, "The study of religion is of the greatest interest to mankind." Knowledge of it is knowledge of God. Beyond the arts, above science, above commerce, above any or all other human concernments religion is the superlative interest. Man's nature is Godlike but he has fallen and the aim of Christian society is the redemption of mankind from the bondage of sin. The time to begin to train your child is twenty years before he is born says a modern psychologist. What faults and defects are found in most children are directly traceable to hereality. The point most persons can plainly see in relation to any form of didactics is that teachers deal with pupils as they find them and not as they ought to be or as their teacher would have them. Teachers deal with pupils in fact and not in theory. The reference to psychology is made because all true teachers work for present improvement and future perfection. A word to the wise in this respect is often sufficient. Learning to learn is the chief educational function of childhood; learning to know and to do is the duty of mature thinkers. A child learns to read. A man reads to learn. Fortunately for all Sunday schools the sequence of lesson text is arranged by a body of Bible experts known as the International Sunday school Commission. Every school under control of this Commission studies the same lesson of Christs birth in August. That however, is just what would happen but for this Commission. When would be a better time to teach the lesson of the young Daniel's abstinence than to young boys and girls in the process of maturity when appetites are abnormal and habits of greatest importance are being formed? In every walk of life the way to do a thing is to do it. Then the way to teach—is to teach. In order to teach successfully one must prepare. Even the smallest pupil in the class has wit enough to know when one is attempting to teach what he does not know. To know well what he attempts to teach is the first qualification of a good teacher. No person of sound common sense would set out to accomplish a task for which he has made no preparation. Yet how often it happens that the so-called "teacher" of a Sunday school sees the lesson text for the first time when he stands before his class to "instruct" it. Then begins an exhibition of bad method and worse pronunciation by which he holds himself up to the scorn and disgust, the indignation and disrepeat of even his humblest student. With no knowledge of the subject matter, no geographical setting and no historical ref- MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Her-New Spring Bonnet JEFFER MOTHER EARTH ROUND RIGHTS DIFFERENT MONROE DOCTRINE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS LEAGUE OF NATIONS EITHER MOTHER EARTH Designed in Paris PEACE CONFERENCE erence as to time and chronological sequence, such a teacher seems to stand with an open mouth expecting Jehovah to fill it; while his Sunday school flares up for ad instant, grows weary, loses interest, gives up the ghost and dies the natural death from intellectual and spiritual starvation. The object of Sunday school teaching is to inspire a love of religious study and investigation, and the first requisite is a teacher who, first of all is a lover of the truth and a seeker after knowledge which he hopes to impart to others. He must have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter. He must be a consistent bible student and a good honest man or woman—honest with himself, his neighbors and his God. Above all things he must be able by his address and appearance to inspire confidence and respect in his pupils. He must be a student who has not ceased to study, else he has become as a Card of Thanks. We the parents, husband, and sisters, of Mrs. Mary Wyatt, desire to express our thanks to the many friends of Metropolis, who were so kind to us duing her last illness and death. We trust to be able to return the same sweet favors to you who came to our rescue in this sad hour. Mr. Waters and family. Mr. Ollie Wyatt. Read! Notice!

Centralia. III. Rev. J. B McCrary. We ask for space to say that the Second Baptist Church is doing a great work both spiritually, and financially. The funerals of Mesdames Beatrice Elliott, of St. Louis, and Carrie Bell of Chicago, were attended in this city. Rev. Carter, officiated, and the choir rendered excellent music. Sunday morning the pastor was at his best and preached a strong sermon from John 14:14. The choir rendered a grand musical Sunday evening. We are working on our new edifice and its great form can now be seen. Yours in Christ. Rev. W. H. Carter, pastor. J. Scott, Clerk. Revs D. A. Harshaw, of Harrisburg, Nailing, of Shawneetown, and McFall, of Colp, passed thru this city enroute to Brookport, to attend the District Conference of the A. M. E. connection. GONE TO HER' REWARD Mrs. Mary Waters Wyatt, departed this life Thursday, at the home of her parents, after a long illness of tubercolosis. Mrs. Wyatt was the wife of Mr. Ollie Wyatt, who is employed by the Parrish Undertaking establishment for a number of years, and lived a true wife, devoted to her husband. She professed a hope in Christ, when a girl and lived until death a consistant christian. Mary was loved by all; the day never too dreary, nor life too sad, but a pleasant smile was seen on her face. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Antioch Baptist church. Pastor Morris, officiated. Peace to her ashes. The Gazette extends sympathy. Entertained at Dinner. Mrs. L. B. Duke, and daughters, entertained Rev. and Mrs. Edgar McCrary and son at dinner at their beautiful home near the Ohio Sunday.

Understand that if you are mentally enified with skinness, old age and death, no amount of desire or affirmation can make you well, young, or long lived. To be healthy, you must be mentally in unity with health; to remain young, you must be mentally one with youth, and to live long, you must be mentally unified with life, says Wallace D.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. Take Notice To the Constituents of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association your attention is called to the fact, that the Executive Board, Minister's and Dracon's Union and the W. E. and M. Convention Board are called to meet Wednesday before the 1st Sunday in April with the Mt. Olive Baptist Churuh, Colp, Ill., with Rev. J. D. Davis pastor. It is highly important that we should meet at this time to complete any unfinished business, arrange for the coming General Baptist State Association, as well as keeping in tact our quarterly meetings. We are a great Baptist family and constitute the 2nd largest Baptist Association in the State numerically and with a little more loyalty and the spirit of Christian giving we do so easily. We have the people with the means and loyalty and the only hindrance is cooperation and a willingness on the part of the ministry is, for us to lead off in this line, tell the people what we want them to do and we will find a ready and responsive constituency. The great war is over and our army is returning home; the great plan of reconstruction is before us, with new fields opened up to us, and as Baptist we should be on the alert, and be prepared not only to send laborers into the great harvest fields but to send money to assist them in their evangelization of the teeming millions who must have the record as given by his Jesus Christ. Therefore we call your especial attention to the fact that you are requested to be present with delegate and your church, if you can't send a delegate and the amount of $2.00 from your church, allow us to urge upon you to send us $2.00 from your church and 50c from each deacon and licentiate and $1.00 from each pastor and ordained minister and 5c for each member.

Brettein, the eyes of the world is upon Illinois, lay down petty grievances, the love of filthy lucre. Let there not be one "Slacker" in our camp. Arise the emergency! Come prepared to preach, shout, sing, pray and pay and our duty will have been performed. Let our Watchword be, On to Colp, with $100.00 in April. Illinois belongs to the Baptists, let us go up and take it. The pastor and his good people will be prepared to care for us as heretofore. Let us do our duty. If you have any suggestions for the good of the cause, write us. Yours in Him. Indian Summer. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the hazy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Money Long In Use. Mindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with-milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

Olive Baptist Association and pastors, this notice comes to call your attention to an urgent call made through the columns of this paper, asking the churches to contribute ten (10.00) dollars to help pay off the remaining indebtedness on our National Theological Training School located at Nashville, Ten. It appeared that the brethern did not understand the call. Since our Ex Board held at Marion last month I am sure you now understand. A resolv was adopted that we make the Fifth Sunday in this month a District Rally day for Education, and that each church donate to that School $10.00; the amount to be sent to Rev. W. P. Washington, 1110 Casey, Ave., Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The meeting on the 5th Sunday in this month will bh held with the New Bethel Baptist church of Centralia. Rev. A. R. McKee, pastor. We are asking every church to to send the amount mentioned above if you can, if not, then send what you can and help make the rally a success. We are not expecting all the churches to be there in person, but we are asking every church to represent financially. Just send P. O. money order to W. P. Washington and your church will receive crdhdt for same. Now, my dears, please give ear to this call and let us play our part in leaving this great educational plant to coming generations of our race as a denominational legacy. Not altogether that they may call us blessed, but that they may be blessed after we have gone to our long sought Rest. I prayas as these lines are being heralded thru the district the pastors and cearches may be inspired to nobler efforts along educational lines and that our names may ring out at Norfolk, Va., with the other names of the noble helpers to make it possible for our race to have a School owned and controlled by the Negroes, not to be pulled up and displaced by our enemies, but a School that will be forever a beacon, teaching men, women and children to hold sacred the Principles and Doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ and practiced by His Disciples, with power to keep out heirecies and strange Doctrines without fear of being turned out of doors.

Little Florence climbed upon her father's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck. Father always called her "Toodles," and until now she had answered to the name. But now she looked at him in surprise "Why, I'm three now! I should think you'd call me "Threadles."" she said Thought and Kindness Best It is not written blessed is he that feudeth the poor, but he that consideth the poor. A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—John Ruskin. "Strange what a difference there is," said the household philosopher, "between things we need and things we want. There are many things we need in the house, but never can find the money, while somehow we can always find the money for things we want that we personally fancy."

Good Reason for Leaving. "Have you had any experience in newspaper work?" said the editor of a large paper to an agitated little man who had applied for a job. "I should just think so. I was editor of the Muddlesbury Mall until yesterday." "And what made you leave the paper?" "Well, it was like this: The chief of police down our way was supposed to be a dangerous man with a revolver, and so I tried to keep the right side of him. I wrote a paragraph about him, and said he was Muddlesbury's greatest asset. The intelligent compositor, of course, left out the 'et' in 'asset,' and that is how it got into the paper." Gas From Wheat Straw. One of the scientists of the University of Saskatchewan, who has been experimenting for some time with the manufacture of gas from wheat straw, has been able, by a gas bag attachment of 300 cubic feet capacity, to run his motorcar with perfectly satisfactory results. It is estimated, says the Saskatchewan Herald, that a ton of straw will generate 11,000 to 12,000 cubic feet of gas and that 300 cubic feet of gas is equal to a gallon of gasoline, so that with this bitherto waste product on his hands the farmer will be able to run his car. "I like the 'Three Musketeers.' It's a remarkable book." "And there's the sequel, 'Twenty Years After.'" "Yes; it is wonderful, too. What impresses me most is that all the principal characters still have the same servants." — Louisville Courier-Journal. HAD GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE Man in Seventeenth Century Saw Wondrous Possibilities in the Development of the World. One hundred and four years ago, at this season, the war of 1812 was practically over. Peace was signed, at Ghent, on the evening of December 24, 1814; and then things moved fast, according to existing standards. On December 26, one of the American secretaries left Ghent for Loudon, and on January 2, 1815, he left England for New York, where he arrived some time in February, and his news was immediately delivered to the citizens by printed handbills. Other cities, however, had to remain in ignorance during the time it would take a fast rider to urge his galloping horse over the roads between them and New York. The telegraph was not yet invented, although Joseph Glanvill, a seventeenth century preacher with an interest in the possibilities of invention, had told the Royal society that "to confer, at the distance of the Indies, by sympathetic convergences, may be as usual to future times as to us in literary correspondence." Glanvill, by the way, also told the Royal society that "to those who come after us, it may be ordinary to buy a pair of wings to fly into the remotest regions, as now a pair of boots to ride a journey." Recalls Wasted Time. "I happened to be late at a meeting the other day and somebody asked who Ann Brown was and I didn't say a word and I happened to think just then that somebody is always late to everything and that somebody is always early to everything. If I give a formal dinner party somebody always comes early when I'm in the dining room giving my final orders to the butler, and then again after everything is all ready I have to wait 15 minutes for a tardy guest and get real fussy but must not show it. I'll bet," says Ann, "that I've wasted thousands of hours of my young life being on time for engagements of all kinds."—Exchange. ```markdown ``` Phone 229--3 Wonderful Page Four Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance.
