BAPTIST CHURCH
(Theo. A. Binford, Pastor)
Sunday school showed up fine
last Lord's day. Had you no-
ticed that we are going in every
department? If every Baptist
were in Sunday school, or would
lend his influence toward it,
wouldn't we li«">ve a dandy? Our
Sunday school ia a religious, Bi-
ble study niteUng. We are in
for business
Next Sundry afternoon, a re
ligious census of the communi
ty will be taken to ascertain
the possibilities for all depart-
ments of our work. We hope
that a full record may be had.
This is a vital move.
The Pastor's heart was glad
dened by the fine crowd and
the fine spirit in the service
Sunday 1 morning. The subject
was: "Limiting God" from Psal
ms 78:41. It as a great hour.
During the five years of the
Baptist seventy five million
campaign, now closing, the Lord
has signally blessed Southern
Baptists. There has been a gain
in membership in all churches
over the five years before the
campaign of 66 per cent, of
Baptisms, 27 percent of atten
dance at Sunday schools of 132
per cent, of gifts to missions
and benevolence, 187 per cent.
Other increases have been in
proportion. Southern Baptists
are now the largest religious
body in its territory. They
have reached a larger percent-
age of their coveted goal than
any denomination that has had
a five year program] When the
Convention met in Atlanta in
May. we had raised more than
70 pel* cent of the 75 million
dollars. The round up this fall
will end the campaign. Every
Ilaptist ought to have a part in
this round up, for his own sake
for the sake of a lost world, and
for the sake of Christ, who gave
all for us.
Our congregation enjoyed the
visit with our Metlvodist friends
Sunda.\ light. Tire sermon by
<mr good brother lsbell was fine
We like his spirit and feel that
things will go well this year, as
they have durng the past two.
The play "Ruth" that was to
have been given Thursday
night has been posponed until
Tuesday night. Read the book,
Ruth in the Bible before then.
You will appreciate te play
more. .
The pastor will preach Sun-
day mnrning on "The Glory of
Going On." You will want to
hear it. An "Emergency Ser-
mon" will be preached Sunday
night. We reccommend this a-
bove any you have heard re-
cently. Don't fail to hear it. It
is different.
DARK AGES STILL HERE
m
Most of us probably think of
the Dark ages as a dead issue—
something that happened a long
time ago—something that we
had to study as boys—sonieth
ing wiped out today by the tre
mendous progress made by mo
dem business.
But think about those days a
minute. They were days of lost
communication—days of doubt
and mistrust—days when no
man knew his neighbor—days
when a man controlled only
what he could hold by fighting
—days when everyone was the
enemy of everyone else, because
no one understood what others
were doing.
Printing was one of the most
powerful influences in breaking
the Dark Ages. The discovery
of paper, and the development
of the art of printing from
movable type spread knowledge
and understanding through a
world benighted.
Where men have written and
reproduced books laboriously by
hand—where the only news of
the outside Isnd and the only
stories ever heard were Carried
by traveling minstrels—print-
ing now spreads news to mil
lions.
What, you ask, has nil this to
do with your business?
Simply this:
Any business today which
does not set down its ideus and
ideals in printing—any business
which depends upon salesmen
to tell its policy and to sell its
>ods in person like traveling
minstrels—is doing business by
Dark Age methods.
You cannot be known l eyond
your immediate circle; you can-
not control any more business
t::ar. you can continual' ight fo"'
voii cannot be u> derstni.6 e.\-

doing what printing can do
in days or weeks.
Crystalize your thoughts in
the printed form. Speak
through printing, to all you
should reach. Look upon print
ing for what it is—the greatest
instrument of communication,
understanding, and progress
ever devised by man. That is
what printing is. That is what
yfou should use it for.
Call on us and let us show
you the many ways to use print
ing.

Forest Fire Put Out #
by Heavy Ocean Fog
A heavy dripping fog rolled in
from the Pacific ocean and put out
effectively a fierce forest fire which
had been burning for days in the
Vlympic peninsula southwest of
l'urt Angeles, Washington. This is
the only time recorded in northwest
forestry of the occurrence of such
a phenomenon. With no indication
of rain and lacking water with
which to li ht the advance of the
flaming menace, foresters watched
the tire making progress toward the
town of Quilcene, beyond which lay
valuable tracts of big trees, when
suddenly the wet fog descended.
Like a huge gray cloud it settled
down upon the forest, enshrouding
everything. The fire fighters fled in
terror lest they become bewildered
and lost on the mountain sides.
Soon the pungent smell of cedar
and hemlock smoke disappeared and
by mid-afternoon when the fog
lifted, there remained only a few
smoking dead logs, while all about
the charred trunks of former mer-
chantable trees dripped with water
fiom the providential fire eiting-
uisher.
Greatest Coat Fields
The report of the Russian govern-
ment. commission, headed by Prefes-
sor Obrontsheff. states that the coal-
fields recently discovered in Siberia
coyer an urea of nearly 100 square
miles, containing the greatest coal
deposits in the world. The locality
also contains extensive deposits of
sulphuric minerals, possibly half a
million tors of graphite, and numer-
ous truces of platinum.
Rubber in Lignite $
"Petrified" rubber has been found
in German lignite, or "brown ooal,"
it is reported at Jena, Germany. In
lignito deposits queerly-shaped fibers
known as "monkey hairs" are noted
from time to time. Analysii showed
that these were rubber, vulcanized
over a great length of time because
of the high percentage of sulphur
present In aorae lignite deposits
the "monkey hain" re like soft
vulcanized rubber, in others like
ebonite.
Gulls' Breeding Ground
The numerous islands off the
coast of Maine are one of the prin-
cipal breeding colonies for gulls and
uere they build crude nests on the
ground and in the evergreen trees.
The young birds are clumsy, little
brownish-gray objects and are often
badly treated by the older ones. In-
deed, many are attacked and killed,
seemingly without reason, , though
this is perhaps nature's method of
birth control. Those that survive
the early weeks of life soon learn lo
take care of thenu Ives, and by tne
time tin southerly flight begins tiif
young birds are fully prepared to
fight ilie winter battle for food in
New York harbor.
