Dr. Giles, East Orange, N.J., Addresses W.M.8.-- High School Proceeds. ' -- Athens, Sept. 5.--Almost annually for thirty-nine years, Rev. W. W. Giles, D.D., East Orange, N. Y., has occupied the pulpit of tha Athens Methodist church prior to his de- parture from his summer home, Charleston Lake. Born in tue repub- lic at the south, he loves the land of his forebears, and the ties of af- fection are the more strongly cem- ented ag year by year he enjoys his vacation among friends and S&ec- quainfances in the Land of the Ma- ple. In the evening of Aug. 31st, the usual appreciative congregation ga- ' thered and listened with interest to this gifted divine. In his inimitable style, Dr. Giles read as a scripture lesson St. Luke 15: 11-24, the story of the prodigal son. His text was cho- sen from Acts 14:2, his subject being | "Why are people antagonistic to Christ?" He sald it was because their minds were evil, affected by preju- dice which always pre-judged. It may be small put it produces tre- mendous perversions. Bring to the quest of truth an open mind. Some reject Christ because prejudiced against the church--this is as un- reasonable as to reject democracy because of the failure of a few de- generates. Christianity is not churchianity! They are as diffarent as a sunlit observatory and a root- cellar, Let us have an alert mind, alive imagination, a sensitive heart, and accept salvation as a free gift, for it is as impossible to bring it as it is to pick up a sunbeam with automobile pliers. Jesus said things true in oratory, and did things di- vine in laboratory--hear Him, not some one else, Hear Him regarding God, regarding man, regarding our- selves. If we loved Him- and each other supremely, we would not need thirty-two thousand laws on the statute books. In spite of the prevalence of sin, the world is going steadiy to the front today. Airships fly fas.er than the birds; trains are fleeter than the deer, submarines outdistance the fish, education is going forward by leaps and bounds, disease 's being investigated and held in check as never before. If you do not see God's hand in these, they have no move significance than a mad-man"s dream. But for all these blessings we are God's debtors. Aren't you moved because of what Jesus Christ has done for you? You do not pay your grocer because of a certain feel- Ing in the matter, but because you lowe the debt.

"So he rid into town with me last Friday and attended the Oriental Grotto Picture Palace. He set right through three performances and was starting in on the fourch when the manager of the show asked him if he didn't think he was acting kinda funny, seeing the same thing over and over. "That mought be and then ag'in it moughtn't,' says the old man.

The September meeting of the Athens W.M.8. was held on the 7th inst., in the vestry of the Methodist church, and proved interesting from start to finish. The second vice-pre- sident, Mrs. H. E, Warren, wife of the new pastor, was introduced to the society and warmly wéicomed to a place on the executive. A pleasant surprise was in store, while the pre- sident, Mrs. Willlam Touriss, pre- sented to Mrs. Henry Hawking a life membership certificate as a token of appreciation of sterling qualities, the donors being the Misses Sabra, Su- san, and Belle Wiltse, Church street. Mrs. Thomas Jeffries, Oak Leaf, was present and gave an appropriate recitation in her usual capabie man- ner.

BIG BUSINESS NOW IN THE BARBER SHOPS Tonsorlal Artists Kept Busy as Result of "Bobbed" Hair Craze. My! how the times have changed in regard to many things. A few years ago barber shops appeared to be for men only; now the fair sex are regular customers as a result of the "bobbed" hair erfze. The ladies predominate in some of the tonsorial shops these days. Just the other day a man wrote to a newspaper in a small western town, pleading with the ladies to "give the men a chance," stating they could not get a chance to get shaved, especially on a Saturday afternoon, when they were very anxious to get "dolled up" for Sunday. On Thursday there was a novel sight in a local barber shop, when husband and wife "dropped in" to get service. Hubby had a hair cut and a shave. His wife wanted to have her hair bobbed, byt there was nothing "doing," as hubby put his foot down very strongly and said that he did not like bobbed hair, and just like a good wife she complied with his request and did not get her hair bobbed. Instead she called for a shampoo. . It looks as if there is great busi- ness ahead for the barbers when husband and wife go arm in arm to shops report a wonderful you can put it down for a an they are certainly drawing trade these days. Father goes for a shave or hair cut, mother to get her hair bobbed (that is providing hubby willing), little Mary has to have her hair bobbed too, to keep up with the Joneses, little Willie has to have his locks cut once in a while, while the baby must also receive attention, so there you have the entire family go« ing to the barber shop. : Yes, sir, these are days of big busi ness for the barber shops. No doubt there will be a big rush to learn the trade. The Delinquent Child, The children's courts are saving thousands of young people from drifting into serious crime, but may be doubted whether it is yet gens erally recognized how important the necessity of full investigation into the development and antecedents of the delinquent child. We recall that Dr. Macnamars cited the case of a boy who met with an accident when he was 8 years old, which retarded his mental development, go that at 17 years of age he was a youth to all appearances, but, in reality, was on the level of intelligence of young boy, with undesirable pros clivities. He had been birched, fine ed, bound over on probation, and last sentenced to three years' tion in a Borstal institution befe it was discovered that there was | simple physical cause for all the trouble.--London Daily Telegraph, A successful leader never drives.
