CHURCH OBLIGATIONS
Mr. Editor.—This is the time of
year when wfe pay, or should pay,
our preachers and church expen
ses, and arrange for next year’s
business.
Churches are of great benefit,
from a business viewpoint, as well
as from a moral viewpoint. Life
and property are much safer under
their influence than they would
be otherwise. This expense should
be considered and dealt with on
business principles. In other words,
we should pay, or assess ourselves
according to our actual worth, fin
ancially. Then, even with a small
percentage assessment, we would
hare ample funds for all church
purposes. Fifty cents on the hun
dred dollars worth of our total
property would answer all pur
poses.
From our viewpoint, wealthy
people, or property owners, al
though they may not be church
members, should cheerfully con
tribute their pro rata, because they
receive their share of the benefits.
They should remember that their
property and life would not long
remain safe without church in
fluences. A Friend.
DOES NOT LIKE FLORIDA

ed from here to Florida,“writes

BATESVILLE, ARK A SO
WILL ASK RE-ELECTION
Circuit Judge, R. E. Jeffery, has
had urgent solicitations to enter
the race for Congress at this time,
for which he feels thankful, but
he will not seek Congressional
honors just yet. He feels that he
can more ably serve his people at
this particular time in the position
which he now holds than in any
other. Therefore, in due time, he
will announce his candidacy for a
second term as Judge of this, the
3rd Judicial Circuit, to which posi
tion, we presume, he will be elect
ed without opposition. — Stone
County Record.
