Did you work the apple problem
that Mr. Lee Griffin gave In The
Journal? The paper had not been
out long before Mr. Griftin began to
get answers. From near and far the
answers came, and all of them were
right. But all the parties overlook
ed the important fact that Mr. Grif
fin did not ask for an answer only,
but for a proper solution of the prob
lem, promising a pint of cream to the
one who would give, not the answer,
but the demonstration. Mr. Blllle
McCauley was the only one who came
up with the goods, and he gave it to
a gnat s heel. He gets the cream.
His solution will be published in The
Journal.

AirwUJeI the Thing Sent Krum

The following letter has been re
ceived by several of the ladies of
Monroe who sent a box of clothing
sometime ago to be distributed in
one neighborhood of the mountains
where the people were made destl
tue by the flood in the summer:
"I received the boxes of clothes
and was surprised when I opened
them and saw so many and so nice.
Some of them looked almost like
new. I spread them out and called
in my neighbors to see them. Our
pastor was passing by and I called
him in. He said you all most have
given till you felt it. He said be had
never seen so many nice thingj
given. We were all so proud and de
lighted with the nice things that we
bad a little prayer meeting and asked
God to biess the ladies of Monroe for
being ao kind to send so many nice
things. I distributed the clothes
among thirteen families. They were
all so proud and thankful to get them
and sent many thanks. I wish you
could have been with me when dis
tributing them. 1 saw several little
children wrapped la tow-weksi to keep
them warm. One old lady had a hole
cut through the quilt and her head
through it to keep her warm. Some
of them would break down and cry
and ask the prayers of the people of
Monroe."

Rev. Walter N. Johnson, Secretary
of the State Mission Board of the
Baptist State Convention, delivered a
masterly address at the First Baptist
church last Sunday evening. The sub
jest of this address was the "Second
Revival," as recorded in the fourth
chapter of Acts: "Neither said any of
them that ought of the things which
be possessed was his own."
Mr. Johnson said that when a revi
val Is spoken of we usually think of
the revival recorded in the second
chapter of Acts where three thousand
were added to the church. "The re
vival recorded here." said the speak
er, "was not a revival for Increasing
the church membership, but for bet
tering the quality of that member
ship, and it was so successful that at
least two were excluded from the
membership."
The great point that Mr. Johnson
made in this address was that Chris
tian people do not "own" their prop
erty, but hold it as God's stewards,
as the managers whom God has plac
ed over His property, and as such
Christians must give an account of
their stewardship to God. Mr. John
son said in part:
"We are afraid to speak of social
ism, afraid that some one will call us
a socialist. What is socialism; So
cialism is that the Individual should
own his property for the Interest of
society. What Is capitalism? Capi
talism Is that the individual owns his
property for the benefit of the Indi
vidual. But this idea expressed here
In this chapter is neither, but that
the individual does not 'own' prop
erty, but it is God 'b and we are his
stewards."
