THE PERSONALITY OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT
All the distinctive characteristics of
personality are ascribed to the Holy
Spirit in the Bible. What are they?
Knowledge, feeling and will. Any j
being who knows, feels and wills is a j
person. In I Cor. 2: 10-11, you will
find knowledge is ascribed to the Holy
Spirit. We read in I Cor. 12:11:
“But all these worketh that one and
the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every
man severally as he will.” Here will
is ascribed to the*Hoiy Spirit. (Mind)
Korn. 8.27: “and he that searcheth the
heart knoweth what is in the mind of
the Spirit.” Here mind is ascribed to
the Spirit.
(Love) Rom. 15:80: “Now I be
seech you brethren for the Lord Jesus
Christ’s sake and for the love of the
' Spirit that ye strive together with me
in your prayers to God for me.”
Here love is ascribed to the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not a mere blind,
tinfeeling influence or power that
comes into our lives. The Holy Spirit
is a person who loves as tenderly as
God the Father or Jesus Christ . the
Son of God. .
(Intelligence and goodness) Nehe
miah 9: 20: “Thou gayest also thy
good Spirit to instruct them and with
held not thy manna from their mouth,
and gavest them water for their
thirst.” Here goodness and intelli
gence are ascribed to the Holy Spirit.
(Grief) Epfi. ^:3U; "Ana gneve not
the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemp
tion.” In this verse grief is ascribed
unto the Holy Spirit of God.
The second line of proofs in the
Bible, pf the personality of the Holy
Spirit is the many acts that only a
person can perform which are ascrib
ed to the Holy Spirit.
Searching, seeking, praying. I Coif,
2; 10: "Hut'God hath revealed them
unto us by his 8pirit, for the Spirit
seareheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God.”. Prayer. Read Rom.
8: 26. Seeking, Rev. 22: 17; Guiding,
Ttom. 8:14: "For as many as are led
by the Spirit of God they are the sons
of God.” Acts 13:2; 16:6; 7{ 20:28.
Here the Holy Spirit is calling to
work, telling- them where to go and
where not to go and appointing them
to office^-Joe Dan Hackney.

SENATOR REED MAKES A
MOST pRAZEN CONFESSION
Of Course, Reed and His Crowd M ou
Like to Abolish Regulation of Spec
ial Interests, Says Oldfield.
Washington, D. C., August 1. A
magazine article entitled “If I Were a
Dictator”, signed by Senator-David A.
Reed, of Peennsylvania, was described
today by Representative William A.
Oldfield, of Arkansas, Chairman ol
the Democratic National Congression
al Copimittee as the “most brazen con
fession of what is really in the hearts
of the big business iinterests which
control this government at present
that has ever been reduced to writ
In the statement, which Mr. Oldfield
so severely Criticizes, Senator Reed
says —If I were a dictator I would
abolish the Federal Trade Commission
this morning, the Shipping Board to
night and the Interstate Commerce
Commission tomorrow.” In addition
Senator Reed ridicules the inspections
under the pure food law, the income
tax, bank examinations by the comp
troller of the currency, automobile
and ’gasoline taxes, public service com-'
missions and traffic regulations, and
then, after praising the good old days
before the “grandmotherly policies ot
regulation,” concludes:—“I say sweep
the whole awkward mechanism of re
striction out of existence.” Further
along he says:—“I strongly endorse
the policv of the party now in power,
more business in government and less
government in business.”
“Senator Reed’s article, which I
saw for the first time yesterday,” said
Mr. Oldfield in beginning his state
ment,” is cynically frank admission
of the real motives of the interests he
represents and gives a clear idea of
what they would do if they had theii
wav completely. Senator Reed is one
of the Administration’s most -depend
able spokesmen in the Senate, the
friend of Secretary Mellon, the rep
resentative of his interests and those
of the steel trust and other highly
protected industries.
“Of course, he and the crowd wnn
whom he stands are annoyed by laws
and regulations which interfere witn
their schemes. I have no doubt that
they would like not only to do away
with the boards which he specifically
names but that they would favor the
repeal of the election laws and all
other laws that prevent them from
working their free will. What he and
the people he represents want to do is
to go back to the days of corruption
twenty-five years ago, to the days of
railroad rebates and watered stocks
and wide-spread commercial bribery.
“They are getting practically every
thing they want from the present Ad
ministration and they have little to
fear from any of the commissions
that Senator Reed would abolish,
since, following the counsel of such
advisors as Senator Reed, President
Coolidge has packed them to do the
bidding of high business. But what
they do fear is' that the Democrats
will get into power and then these
commissions will begin to function
again in the interests of the people.
“It is not strange after the revela
tions regarding the Pennsylvania pri
mary, in which the Mellon and Grundy
MERCHANT FINANCIAL WRECK
“I am a financial wreck because of
the expense of doctors and medicine
for my wife. She has been a fiironic
sufferer for 10 years. Some pro
nounced it gall stones, some gastritis
and some intestinal inflammation. I
happened to read an ad of MAYR’S
and from the first dose my wife has
steadily improved.” It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intes
tinal tract and allays the inflamma
tion which causes practically all

affiliation* spent nearly two million
dollars in an attempt to buy the U. S.
Senatorship that Senator Reed has no
fondness for investigatioins and com
plaints of their large cost to the gov
ernment. Yet twenty-one investiga
tions by the Federal Trade Commis
sion, extending over a period of ten
years cost only about a million dollars
more than was spent in Pennsylvania
within a few weeks to corrupt the
electorate.
“Did Senator Reed have one word
of condemnation for Mr. Grundy, who
collected immense sums from corpora
tions on the promise that they would
escape taxation? Did he show a sin
gle sign of humiliation over the mani
fest purchase of votes? No. But his
'friend, Secretary Mellon, said that he
gave to this slush fund as he would
to a church and Senator Seed laid
i the blame for the whole corrupt pro
ceeding on thle primary system whteh
the people of Pennsylvania had adopt
ed.
“Of course; he would blame the
primary because it has multiplied the
cost of putting over candidates and
he would prefer to return to the old
days and the old system, and, under
the present Republican Administra
tion, he and the greedy, privileged
classes he represents, feel so powerful
and so secure that they are not afraid
to adopt the attitude of their kind
thirty years or so ago, which found
frank expression in the contemptuous
phrase, ‘The public be damned’ ”.
A Good Tracer
“Yes, suh, I can trace my relations
back to a family tree.”
“Chase ’em to a tree?”
“No, trace ’em!”
“Well, jes’ two kinds o’ things live
in trees; dats birds and monkeys—
anti you sho’ ain’t got no feathers
on you!”
Farmers Buy Much Machinery
Farmers of America, according to
the department of commerce, bought
155 million dollars worth more of farm
machinery in 1925 than in 1924, the
total for 1925 being §332,845,204. The
purchase of farm tractors and equip

TARHEEL SWINE GROWER
HAS THREE ADVANTAGES
Raleigh, N. C., August 9.—]How
growing should be pushed in' North
Carolina because of the three rather
striking advantages that the Tarheel
fanner has over other competing
farmers. The local grower has the
advantage of climate which permits
him to produce two litters of pigs per
year, the advantage of being near a
good market and the advantage of be
ing close to a supply of protein feed.
“The climate of North Carolina is
temperate enough that each sow may
successfully produce and raise .two
litters of pigs each year without the
owner being put to excessive cost,”
Saya Earl Hostetler, swine investiga
tor for the North Carolina Experiment
Station. “A simple house is suffix
cient to take care of.the sow and her
pigs and it is necessary if one ex
pects to produce market hogs and to
take advantage of the good prices
which usually occur in April and
September. ’ To do this, the spring
litters should be farroWed in Febru
ary or early March and the .fall lit
ters in August; or early September.
The animals need some protection
from the cold end rain in February
and from the heat :n Augnsb
“There is no place in North Caro
lina where hogs cannot be Shipped to
Richmond or Baltimore and arrive
i within 36 hours from the time they
are loaded. This is a great advantage
1 and the prices are usually above those
■
__
offered in Chicago.
“Then too, North Carolina plants
more land to corn than she does to
cotton or tobacco. About 35.7 per
cent of the cultivated land is jfianted
to corn. This lis excellent for pork pro
duction but it needs to be balanced
with some nitrogenous or high pro
tein feed. Swine growers lin the State
are adjacent to firms which manufac
tures and sell fish meal and soybean
oil meal. Both of these feeds are val
uable as protein supplements to pigs.
Tests show that when such a supple
ment as* fish meal is added to balance
the com, it is worth 147 times the
prici of th,e com used.”.
