' W BB NOT FAITHLESS, BUT BELIEVING. Beloved, the world, .has not gone to the dogs yet. In this time of social, political and religions upheaval one is apt to jump to that conclusion, and thousands have done so. In some re-' spects we have gone backward; there is no dorobt about that; but in others we have gone far forward. In our social life there is alarming degener-^. acy among certain classes. It i? es-_ pedally painful to observe a fearfsilack of maidenly modesty on the part ?of the young women who occupy places in so-called good society. They drink, smoke and swear with -reckless abandon.' But after all, these women do not by any means represent the rank and file of their sex. They are on, the surface and can be seen and heard by the passing throng, but the great;: deep of our modern social life is still quiet and undisturbed. The steady and substantial element will be the mothers of the coming generation. We are told by Jhose who have studied the subject that the young men are more i ?1 snoial than they were a quarter nf n . century ago. Sentiment in favor of social betterment is certainly growing stronger and stronger every day. The strong are bearing the burdens of the weak, as they never did before. . . ? "... .1 Institutions for the relief of the needy 1 k and the help of the helpless are being! supported with larger generosity than I ' heretofore.' The social order is being) steadily uplifted and the golden rule! in business is gaining ground all the time. Teapot Dome jarred the world, but the very fact that its rottenness was revealed will make it harder than it was before it was uncovered for a crooked office holder to get by with his thievery. When in human history was a Governor of a great state behind the bars unti.l. this good year of 1024? The political skies are brightening. The moral tone of the nation has been mightily lifted by the pitiless exposure of official corruption around Washington. Whoever Is elected President of the United States this year, he will not reward a rascal by| appointment to a place in his cabinet! i That dark and dismal-day has passed! j But they tell us that our religious life has lost its old time purity; that our leaders are blind followers of the blind. There are among us wolves.in sheep's clothing. Many of them live in New York city. But we had occasion in a recent issue to refer to an old shepherd who has led his great flock y?- in the heart of New York city, for forty years by still waters and in green pastures, and he is more popular and powerful today than ever before. The people ate still hungry for the gospel. Two candidates for Uovcrnor recently addressed small audiences in Thomasville. A pastor in a church a block or two away, in a revival service, preached to twice a$ many people. The politicians were distinguished strangers. The preacher is here all the time and preaches every Sunday. And yet he beat them two to one! We are writing these lines in the hope of cheering some troubled heart whose faith is failing. Look'to*the hills, friend, whence corheth youri help. The arm of the, Lord is not shortened that it cannot save. He is| keeping watch above His own, and multiplied millions have not bowed. the knee to Baal!?Charity and. Children.

A B. .<?Briant^ Sec. ' ; J A LETTER FROM M. L. WHITE. R. iF. D. No. 5, Shelby. N.-C. May M, 1924 Editor Roxboro Courier: It is taken lor granted that the tidings have been norated around your print shop that North Caolina fias two candidates for governor in democratic' party. Both are gentlemen. both aro church communicant^ in good and lawful standing. Both hare a record for party service; but there is a distinction and a difference. One ivthe friend and darling of the poor, down-trodden millionaire; while the oilier thinks that the toiling, unwashed and unterrified, toiling boys in (he trenches have a voice in a Republican form of government and their rights that should be respected. One is the plumed knight of a coterie of politicians in Raleigh, while the other thinks that the voice of the people Bhould be the voice of God. One is the creation of political slatemnl-crs; .ml this slate is sent to minor vassals who vegetate in one hoss towns who have favorite sons who covet the gubernatorial toga. "And they all said they'd take sugar in theirn." From these great men in a small way, the timbrel is sounded to (he man who js known as "doc", to the cross road merchant, to the aspiring, briefless lawyer; and these nnosiMn V>foWVlfell Kllf aru kuxu iu asauic lug iait?iui uu> untutored that the office of "sheriff", clerk, of court, register of deeds will be a future reward for party service. Every man who is, too stupid to come in out the rain and is illiterate% is promised the political grandeur or being justice of the peace. The other candidate promises nothing but good government, economically administered; and even voices the dire threat that the millionaire and the corporations must unload to the tax collect or in same proportion as the owner of land. Every political boss sees'in this a species of tyranny, and is not only against but "agin" such highhanded proceedure. According to battle cry of special privilege, the once patriotic sentiment expressed by Jefferson and Lincoln that government is of the people, by the people and for the people; is a vagary and an irredescent dream. The true slogan is, Government is by the politicians, of the politicians and for the politicians; and the people be "d?d." The image of the dollar mark is burnt into every 'soul, and the mission of the -farmer is merely to~Teed and clothe^the world and die for the flag at declaration of war. This class is "agin" the Australian ballot, notwithstanding it has been adopted by every civilized country in Christendom except North Carolina and three other states of,the Union. The party who are supporting the representative of the commoner, want Australian ballot, no let up .in the crusade for good roads and good schools; but what corporations an$ magnates to bear an equitable part of the burden. They are opposed to class legislation and to corporations not paying half so much ad valorum on princely holdings as the farmer has to pay. When people are permitted to eat the bread of industry they do not clamor for the wine of violence; but you can't fool all the people all the time. The sovereign voter can see rank injustice when it is too often perpetrated; and when aroused is irresistable A gang of time-serving politicians can't dominate the people forever; and they are no longer going to cringe under party lash. By this is not meant that there should not be party., organzation and party loy alty. This is necessary for militant democracy; but ten men in a state and four men in a county should not dominate. People not lawyers, doctors, cross roads merchants nor locust preachers can study and Interpret the sceince of government. The newspaper is the most potent factor in electing candidates, shaping policies and legislation in this country; and yet people burr incense under the nostrils of a foiirthrate spell binder as if he were a veritable Warwick. No flames have been called in this article, and no aspersions cast or character. Many rich men are benefactors of the world; and" lawyers and doctors and preachers are a useful class. Your correspondent is merely a teacher, but does not. wear a collar. ?M. L. White. j?r?:?0?*-?

JUNIOR TOPIC?The Story of a J Brave Prophet. \ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?Standing Bravely for the Right. 1 YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- , IC?Jeremiah's Message to His People. I. Jeremiah's Solemn Warning to ( Judah (vv. 1-7). The Lord commanded him to stand In a conspicuous place in the Temple and procialflFthe judgment which was about to full upon them nf . their sins. The object was to psovoke them to repentance (v. 8). If they would not repent, God would make the Temple as Shiloh (V. 6). Just as Shtloh was once the dwelling place of the Lord and now _fallgn^ato, y and abandoned, so will lt.be with the Temple. Jeremiah wus sent to speak the words which the Lord had told him and not to diminish a word. II. Jeremiah on Trial (vv. 8-11). 1. Cause of Arrest ( . 8). It was for faithfully speaking gll tl^e Lord had commanded. The one who speaks boldly what God'commands "shall be opposed. The ttme-server and selfseeker will not stand, for such a mln*. Istry. The Isaiahs and Jeremiuhs must suffer. 2. The Charge (vv. 8, 9). It was a capital crime? They said, "Thou shalt surely dle.M His guilt according tj their charge was twofold: (1) Pretending to speak for God; (2) Speaking against' the temple and the city. According to their charge he was ! guilty of blasphemy nnd sacrilege.. The one who prophesied without ! God's command was to be punished | by death (Deut, 18:20)." Blasphemy j was also punished by death (Lev. j 24:10). Both Jesus and Stephen were | accused of blespuemy. 3. The Princes Sit In Judgment (w. | 10,11). When the excitement reached I the ears of the prlnoes they came to i judge of the merits of the case. Mutters of state were not entirely In the hands of the priests und elders, but were partly controlled by members of the royal family. III. Jeremiah's Defense (w. 12-16). Threats of deatti dkl not deter him from preaching, but only made him repeat Ills message. 1. Reiterates His Id-vine Commission (v. 12). He hud nothing to deny, but to repeat what he had said. He j plainly told them that In opposing him they were opposing God, ror he wai God's messenger. 2. Ills Exhortation < . 13). He urged them to amend tllelr ways and obey God, end God would not bring upon them Judgment. 3. He Gove Himself Up (v. 14). He did not resist the powers of government (Rom. 18 51). Knowing that he i .was sent of God he was content tov trust God for deliverance. 4. Warns of FHtal Consequence (v. IS). He frankly told them that God had sent him, and if they killed him they would tie guilty of defying"God. Woe would not only fall upon them, but the nation and city would suffer. IV. Jeremiah Saved (vv. 16-24). He was ucquitted. God Is able to raise up friends and advocates from i the ranks of those who oppose us. 1. Judgment of the Princes (v. 10). They pronounced him not guHty, as he had spoken in the name of the Lord. Jeremiah's words convinced them that he was speaking the truth. , .^2. Speech of the Elders (vv. 17-23). As the princes probably represented the king, so the elders represented the people. The elders pleaded for Jeremiah and adduced several cases In Illustration: (1) Mlcah (vv. 18, 19). Mlcab had prophesied against Jerusalem, but King Hezekiah Instead of potting liim to death, repented and thus turned aside thci nunlshment which was lmnendlnz. (2) CrIJah <vr. 20-23). Urijah prophesied against- the-city and land I and thus Incurred the wrath of Jehoiaklm, who even brought him back | i from Rgjrpt whence he had fled and 1 slew him. Though all this was donfe, judgment j was not thua thwarted. Killing God's propbeta does not prevent God's Judgment, but intensifies It. In the case ! 1 of Hezeklah God's Judgments were j turned aside through heeding the words of the prophet, and In the case of .Teholnklm Judgment fell upon the nation because of refusal and maltreatment of the prophet. 3. Rescued by Ah Ik am (v. 24). Ah!-! kani must have been a man of Influence j to be uble to Interfere at such a time.

May 21st 1924 HOW MUCH FOOD \ FOR HUNDRED HENS, Raleigh, N. C. May 19. Frequently 1 the poultry grower goea into his buri- 1 ness with no conception of the amount of food that it takes to feed his | hens. JHe feeds what he has on hand and when that gives out he must buy. J Experiments conducted by poultry ir. J 'estigators at the State College Ex- j ] periment Station show that one may ] know to a reasonable degree the < mount of food needed. 1 In the experiments conducted, it ( was found that where all the feed was t bought, hens the size of Leghorns | :onsumed 80 pounds of feed each, or \ 3,000 pounds for a flock of 100 birds ; luring the year. Thirty pounds of the l smount consumed by each hen was . the mash or dry, ground, mixed feeds l ind fifty pounds was the scratch or t rrain mixture. . | MONUMENTS j| I; s AIM?

This is 9,400 for the flock of 100 birds. Of the 94 pounds consumed, 43 pounds was mash and 51 pounds, ifsain mixture. In making these tests Dr. B. F. Kaupp also studied the amount of feed it required to produce eggs. For tilth producing Leghorns, it. took 6.45 pounds of feed to produce one dozen ?ggs and for the larger breeds it ook 10 pounds of feed to produce a lozen eggs. The heavier the layer. :he mdre feed she consumed. | These tests also revealed the fact hat on a four-horse farm, between !5 and 50 percent of the feed would se foraged by the poultry, thus les-| lening the amount needed to be; lought or raised for the sole use of :he flock.
