The Department of Rural Sociolo-
gy of the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, under the leadership of Dr. W.
E. Garnett and Professor C. H. Ham-
ilton, ha., made an investigation of
rural church conditions in Virginia.
™:! The result of their studies has been
a j published in a bulletin, No. 267, en-
J titled, “The Role of the Church in
Rural Community Life in Virginia.”
It is a veritable encyclopedia of in-'
formation regarding rural church
conditions in the Old Dominion. It
may be secured by writing Dr. W. E.
Garnett, Blacksburg, Va.

The State of Virginia stands very
high as compared with most states,
in the number of Sunday School
teachers who have taken special train-
ing to fit them for their work, but
even here very few have had courses.
In \ iigmia, out of 28(1 Sunday School
teachers who answered a question-
They should consult their pastor or I
write to their denominational head-
quarters to find out about the spe
cial courses which have been provid-
ed to help then? prepare for their
work. 1 hese courses may be taken
in class or by correspondence.

Sunday School workers in rural
churches should study the special
unit on Town and Country Church
Leadership. This may be taken by
correspondence. Workers in the
small Sunday Schools have problems
which are not found in the large city
churches where there is good equip-
ment and other advantages. There
are problems which are found only
in the country Sunday School. The
unit on Town and Country Church
Leadership in the Southern Presby-
terian Church, is based upon a read-
ing course, furnished by the Coun-
try Life Circulating Library. This
library consists of ten books written
by authors who are Baptist, Metho-
Although divorce is on the increase
in England, it is difficult to achieve.
Seekers after legal separation often
find it easier to find a flaw in the
union itself, thus bringing about a
dissolution on the ground that they
were not truly married in the first
place. English courts have held, for
example, that marriage by registra-
tion may be legal in Russia, but can-
not ^)e in Great Britain. In one case
a man accused of deserting his fam-
ily defended himself on the ground
that he married the girl after dark.
He was not joking. A marriage in
England outside the hours between
8 a. m. and 3 p. m. is no more legal
tiian a whisky and soda bought at a
bar after regular hours.

Woman’s Missionary Society
The program to be given by the
Women’s Missionary Society of the j
Methodist Church next Monday af-
ternoon, from the “Missionary Voice”
has been delayed due to the late ar-
rival of the “Voice.” The hour will
be given over to another Bible study
under the direction of Mrs. Wra. Dean
White. All members kindly take no-
tice and be present at 2:30 with your
Bibles for another interesting lesson.

ALL THE SIGNS
“Papa, it says in this book: ‘The
woman sobbed, tore her hair, beat
her breast and fainted. What does
that mean?”
“That she wanted a new fur coat,
my son.”
Wife (at 2 a. m.)—“Wake up,
dear, wake up! There’s a burglar in
the next room.”
Husband (sleepily)—“Well, I’ve no
revolver. You go in and look dag-
gers at him.”

Keeping-Up-Wilh-The-Joneses is no mere vagary of
the cartooner. it is an actual condition in every city,
town, village and hamlet of this great country.
• «* j
There is a Jones in every locality to set the pace.
But the averge Jones is not a rich man—far from it.
He has a good job, he dresses well, he is a good talker
and splendid company. Jones is always the gentle-
man, welcomed at business conventions, public din-
ners and social gatherings alike. Mrs. J ones is envied
as a successful hostess. Every woman in her set, and
out of it, seeks bids to her bridge parties and other so-
cial functions. Their home is cozy, tastefully furn-
ished and provided with most of the modern conven-
iences. ;
■ j * j\v
“How do they do it?” asked the neighbors. “We
have as much money as they. Socially we are their
equals.” But without seeming to try, without put-
ting on any “dog,” the Joneses set pace just the same.
They have learned from reading advertisements how
to have many desirable things at little cost. They
keep up to date on almost everything—just reading
advertisements.
•
Keeping-up-with-the-Joneses is a comparatively
easy matter—other things being equal. Head the ad-
vertisements regularly. Study them. Remember
what you learn. Then, when you are in the market
for anything, you will know, just as they do, what kind
to buy. Soon you’ll find yourself saving money, yet
having more than you ever had. You’ll find folks
wondering how you do it. Oh, yes! It’s fairly easy,
if you make the most of your opportunities.
Advertisements are opportunities .... study them
them to your own advantage.
