MARTIN Presbyterian church delivered an excellent sermon on Sunday to a most attentive He took. bis text from Heb. lOS'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is. His subject was "Public Worship a Duty, and he gave good reasons why one ought to attend church regularly First proper regard for the Sabbath requires it Tre Sabbath was never intended -as a day of worldly recrea tion, as some seem to regard it neither is it a day for idlenesh and gosip.

It is a day of rest, not simply for the body, but for the soul as well. Soul Rest can be obtained only by waiting upon God in public and private worship. Not to attend public worship if to show a disregard for God's holy day. Second. You ought to attend church because yoir soul's highest interests demand it.

The preaching of the word has been ordained of God for the enlva tion of the soul. "It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." To the person who is physically able to attend church there is not.hi"g which will fully take the place of the preached word and the public worship of God Not to frequent the sanctuary is to do great injustice t6 one's spiritual life. Tl lrd. You ought to attend for the aike of your children. It is roost unreasonable to expect your child to make a practice of doing a thing that he never sees the parents do.

You may waste a great deal of breath telling your childern to attend church when you yourself make a business of staying away. They will be more influenced by jour conduct than by your words. You can't deceive a child, if you would love him attend church, goynurself. Fourth. You should attend became of your example to others, your going to church may be the means of encouraging: others' to go.

Your staying away will have the opposite effect. Which way do you want your influenc to be felt? Do you wish to increase the atter.Jance at church or are you willing to give your example to ease the conscience of others while they absent themselves from Gcd's? houte Remember, you are for that influence which you are able to exert. Fifth. You should attend church gular'y because the continuance of the church as an institution demands it. If there should cease to be assemblies of Christian people for public worship and united service there could no longer be a public proclamation of the Word, there could be no stirring appeals in behalf cf the Savior's cause.

The singing and praying and Scripture reading in the sanctuary would no longer have any place. The church buildings themselves would become dilapidated and forsaken. What an unspeakable calamity such a state of affairs would be, yet this would be the natural outcome of the non-attendance of people upon the services of the sanctuary. Sixth. You ought to frequent God's house because -the Savior's cause in the World demands the unit ed prayers, gifts and efforts of His people.

These can. only be realized by a faithful attendance at the services where attention is directed to the needs of the world field. The minister concluded by saying that lastly "you ought to be present in God's house that you may give him the honor due unto bis name. You honor Him by recognizing His Sabbath and His sanctuary and His preached word. You lend your voice in prayers and hymns of thanksgiving and praise.

You bear testimony before the worfd that you are a worshipper of the one true and living God. "Not to attend church is to fail to render to God your tribute of respect. "Like the lepers that our Savior cleansed, you fail to return and give glory to God for the services which yov have received at Hia hands." -ll GIVE US A TRIAL Go to the Rose Grocery, headquarters for Country butter, chickens, and eggs.

It was also observed that kitchens and dining rooms which were papered in blue or painted blue also seemed to keep the flies away. A missionary from India told Dr. Crumbine that hops were used by the natives of India in the place of screens.

The hop vines were allow ed to grow all over the little huts, and the people were never bothered with flies. Dr Crumbine and several of his assistants have set out hop vines around the back doors. The vines are growing all over the buildings, and Dr. Crumbine is watchine the vines this summer to note whether or not the bops are really effective against the flies. SOME GOOD-MEN FOR OFFICE EDITOR LEADER As the time for the Primary draws nigh, I feel more and more the importance of having men on the ticket for the county and district offices who are not chronic office seekers.

I be'ieve "the office should seek the man. 1 believe the time has come the people should cease to turn over the offices to a hoard of greedy politicians whose principal object is "The loaves and fishes." There are men in Augusta county who could and would fill the offices in an unselfish manner if they could be induced to come ou but the men who make the bdst officers are generally modest and dislike notoriety, arid consequently the best material seldom comes to the front. I like very much to see R. F. Larew before the Primary for Supervisor and P.

V. Coffey for Road Commissioner for Riverbeada District. Te ability of these men is recognized by all who know them, and if they could be induced to rrake the race, they would poll almost the entire strength of their communities. I know of many who have their eyeH on them and would be glad to have an opportunity to vote for them. A VOTER.

TANNER CO, SUBSCRIBE TO THE LEADER. NAM couit for alleged contempt in the Bucka Stove and Company contempt case, as required by Justice Wright on the recommendation of a committee! of lawyers appointed by the court to determine whether or not an apology should be demanded. In filing the answers to the con tempt charges the defandanta' attorneys presented their reasons why Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell should not be held in contempt. The court room waa crowded with labor leaders. Judge Alton 6.

Parker, general counsel for the American Federation of Labor; Gompera and Morrison and members of the committee occupied conspicuous COMMITTEE WANTS APOLOGY. The report of the committee said: "That the defendants be prepared to make such due acknowledgement, an apology to the court as may sufficiently answer the necessary purpose of vindicating its authority and that of the law.l "Should! such acknowledgement, apology and submission not be forthcoming after due notice and opportunity, the course necessary to be pursued to maintain its dignity and due r.spectj for the obedience of the law is respectfully submitted to the court for its consideration." Denial of the right of the court to require an apology, and declaration that the defendants have never been guilty of contempt of court, are included in the reply. Although the reply was fiied yesterday there will be no hearing of the case until the fall term of fthe court. At that time Justice Wright in the event of finding adverse to defendants, will pass sentence. After the United StateB Supreme Court had held that the jail sentence was not correctly imposed, Justice Wright appointed the cemmittee to investigate the proceedings, and if evidence warranted to start a new case.

This committee included J. J. Darlington, of this city; James M. Beck, of New York, and Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport, Conn. DR.

WILLI ELIMINATE Persons about Staunton interested in manufacturing are taking a lively interest in the mechanism employed at the plant of the Smith Ice and Fuel Co. for consuming the smoke from the boiler room. The device simply carries the smoke for some distance before it can escape from the flames, in this way all, or practically all, of the carbon being burned, leaving nothing but hot air to emerge from the smokestack. The poorer the combustion where soft coal is used, the more of the fuel that goes up in black smoke to deposit itself in black flakes on the clothing and in the houses of the people, thus be coming a pisance.

in most modern plants an effort is made to consume a greater percentage of the fuel, thus freeing people from the smoke nuiEance, which heretofore has been very great about manufacturing towns.

LANG Masonic Tempfe, Staunton, Va. Washington, July 17. The most drastic campaign publicity legislation ever passed in either branch of Congress was adopted by the Senate late today, practically without a dissenting vote. Using the pre-election publicity bill passed by tie House of Representatives as a basis, the Senate constructed during the day a proposed law with the following important features: No candidate for the Senate or House shall spend a total of more than $10,000 in the primary ana general election; and no candidate for the House shall spend more than $5,000. Publicity must be given to all primary campaign contributions, and expenditures.

All general election expensed must be made before the election begin-ing fifteen days before election, and making publication each six days until election. All promises of political joba must be made public. The bill further makes! it illegal to promise political places in order to secure election support; or to aid in infuencing the election of any member of a State legislature. SMALL WHEEL 1 WITIN A WHEEL EDITOR THE LEADER Another kind friend from a dis tance seeing the "nipple controversy" in your psper, has written me a very nice note, explaining that he thinks it was one of the local "cogs" of the Martin machinej who honored me with thia badge.
