J.L.t kllmt COSFiM, Cfciriotta, I.C i X J N WANTED Ml J0 C2 I The Church I Her Glory and 1 4 ; i Walk 4 f 4 3 By REV. WILLIAM EVANS. D. D. Moody Bibla Institute, Chicago TEXT-Kphcsians (whole I'pisllc). The great thema of the Epistle tc the Ephesians is the Church its heavenly calling earthly life. After the greeting and salutation the Epistle sets be fore us its two great divisions: the glorious call ing of the Church, chapters 1-3; and the earthly life of the Church, chap ters 4-G. Under the first main division presented to us, the con ception of the Church in the mind ol (lod, as an invisible organism which only God can see; in the second main division, the Church as a visible or ganization, such a3 the world can see. The bringing together of these twe thoughts is the sum total of the mes sage of this book. I'nder the conception of the Church we have presented to use lirst from the divine side, the Church as it was in the mind of God, just as the plans and specifications of a building are in the mind of the architect before a sin gle stone is laid (1:3-14). Second from the human side: The conception of the Church as it should be in the mind "of the" Chruch itself (1:15-23). This division takes the form of a prayer to the Father that the Church man consciously realize and appre ciate this divine conception. The ob ject of the prayer is threefold: That believers may know what is the hope of their calling: what the riches of the glory of God's inheritance in his saints; and what the exceeding great ness of his power in those who, be lieve, which power is illustrated in the resurrection and exaltation ol Jesus Christ. Having briefly considered the con ception of the Church, let us now glance for a -moment at its construc tion, the account of which we find in chapter 2:1-22. Note here the de scription of the material out of which the Church is formed, and how this material ia described (2:1-12); dead in sin, children of wrath, ruled by Satan, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, with out Christ and hopeless, afar off with out God, and strangers to the covenant of promise. j The Church is now conceived of as a spiritual structure (2:20-22). Jesus Christ, the apostles and prophets are ; its chief corner-stone and foundation i Each believer is a living stone in the living temple; each aggregation of be-1 Hevers also constitutes a dwelling plac e cf the Spirit. The next great point to be consid ered is the Constituency of the Church, , which is set forth in chapter 3:1-21 i In this chapter are set forth the per I soi al relations existing between thfi writer and his readers. In the same connection is declared the kind ol "pecple out of which the Church is con 1 structed, not, however, as to the in dividual, as in chapter 2, but with re rard to the two great divisions of man ; kind: Jew and Gentile. The second division of the book namely, the earthly walk of the Church (chapters 4-G), is presented tc us in the following fourfold way: First There is the walk of the Church, which should be a united walk (4-1-1G). The graces that maintain unity are ! described as meekness, lowliness, long suffering, forbearance, love (4:1-3). Then those fundamental unities on . which the unity is based are describ ed: one body, one Spirit, one calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God who is over all, through all. in all , (4:4-G). The fact is further einpha-i sized that .the unity which should characterize the Church is not mo- notony. but consists in a diversity oi gifts (4:7-11). Here are described the i various gifts and offices in the posses- j sion of the membership of the Church. J all of which are bestowed by the l)i j vine Spirit. The end and aim of these i gifts is set forth in 4: 13-1 fi they are! all to be. used for the building up ol the body of Christ. Secoud God would have the world see not only a united Church, but also an unblameable memb-rship (t:l7 5:21), so he portrays tci us vividly the walk of the individual believer, which should be characterized by purity, and consistent with his profession in Christ. The old life is described; then the new life, first in general, sec ond then in detail is set before us in glowing terms. Third God would have the world see an ideal family life (3:22 G: 9) The walk of the Christian family should be one of reciprocal love anc" willing service for frach other. Here are. set before us the relation of hus band and wife; parents and children; masters and servants. Fourth The dyuamic power for the realization of these ideals is rescribed in G: 10-18. The Christian must put on the whole armor of God. which Is here delineated piece by piece. Thus armed, victory is certain. The Epistle concludes with a re quest for prayer by the apostle and with final salutations, 6:19-21 I . i TTS. , : J -I DBSIFICSW SOUTHERN FARfs' Oats Should Be Principal Stock Feed in Cotton Belt. MOST PROFITABLE IN SOUTH Plant Would Reduce Washing and Leaching to Minimum, Furnish Grazing and Add to Deficient Supply of Humus. (By G. II. ALFORD.) From October 1 to November 15, ac cording to the latitude, is the best time to sow oats iu the cotton belt ' The oat crop should be made the principal stock feed grown iu the cot ton belt. The area in oats should bo fully as large as that in com, but let us not forget the facta that as a stock feed and cash crop, oats is one of the best crops that can be grown in the south. J The chief crops grown all over the cotton belt are cotton and corn. As an average for a ten-year period of 1900 to 1909 there was planted from 10 to 15 acres of corn for each acre of oats in the various cotton belt states During the same time an" average of the oat crop per acre w as $10.09, while the average value per acre of corn was $11.02. Figuring the cost of growing an oat crop and a corn crop, we find that the oat crop wa3 the most profit able. There are several important rea sons why we should sow millions of acres of oats in the cotton belt. The oat crop would reduce washing and leaching to the minimum, furnish graZ' ing, add to the deplorably deficient supply of humus, add to the always short supply of feed stuffs and supple ment the money crop cotton. Of course, there are better winter cover crops than oat3. Burr clover and crimson clover are the vetches, : and in some cases some of the other winter cereals are better. We do not claim that oats alone or that oats and hairy vetch combined should be grown for the sole purpose of supplying a cover crop. However, in view of the fact that oats will grow on poor land poor- ) ly prepared, and it costs little to seed ; an acre, it is a good winter cover Good Oat Crop. crop for the many thousands of farm ers who have not learned to grow winter legumes. Two and one-half acres were plant ed in oats at the experiment station at Baton Rouge, La., for a grazing ex periment on September 2S. October 29 seven Poland China hogs, weighing in total 276 pounds, were put on this plat and were given ho feed but the green oats during the winter. Febru ary 17 the pigs weighed a total of 56S pounds. There was an average gain og .37 pound per pig per day for 110 days. From October 29 to January 1 45 head of sheep were pastured on this same plat. Of this number, eight ewes and nine lambs were pastured continuously there after February 17, at which date the Iambs averaged GS days old and 35.5 pounds each. Allow ing six cents per pound for the lambs, we have a return of $13.40 per acre, plus the pasturage of the sheep not considered in the estimate. The loss of humus in the soil re sults in the increasing of its power of storing up and properly supplying crops with water. Soils with a liberal supply of humus are capable of more effectually withstanding drought than similar soils with less humus. The oat crop fills the soil full of roots, and the stubble also adds much humus to the soil. The oat grain is very valuable feed, especially for young animals, because of its 'moderately high protein content and the large amount of ash and min eral matter. Pound for pound, oats are not as valuable for feeding ma ture animals as corn, four pounds of corn being equal to about five pounds of oats. However, when we consider the cost of growing the two crops and the fact that feed is always scarce when the oat crop i3 harvested, we are forced to admit that every farmer in the cotton belt should grow oats. In attempting to build up the worn out cotton lands, we must depend very largely on the leguminous crops. Now the oat crop is harvested early enough to permit the growing of a leguminous crop. The leguminous crop may be plowed under or it may be used as feed, and the manure returned to the land. If we are going to build up our land and raise good stock, we must grow oat crops and follow with legume crops. Oats are probably the best paying maU' grain crops that can be grown j over practically the entire cotton belt The same soil that will produce ona bale of cotton or 40 bushels of corn, per acre will produce GO .basheils of oats. At the average price, that has prevailed for oats during the last five years, the GO bushels will sell for from $3S to $40 and the strawr when baled, will often pay for growing the grain. It is best to plant oats after corn and peas. Cut the corn stalks and pea vines into pieces with disk harrow. The disk harrow is the best possible implement in preparing the corn and pea fields for oats. The drill will clog in trashy ground and particularly when working in uncut stalks and pea vines. When the disk harrow is used before the land is broken, the drill runs freely and easily, thuo depositing HOW CAN ! h!CREASE THE YIELD AMD QUALITY OF MY OATS? . 1 Pan and Grade Seed. 2 Seed Early. 3 Early and Medium Varieties Best. 4 Better Prepared Seed Bed. 5 Drilling Better Than Broad casting. 6 Treat Early Oats for Smut. 7 Always Sow Clover. 8 Save the Crop by Good Shock ing and Stacking. the seed evenly. After using the disk haiTow to cut the corn stalks, plow the land deep, then disk and double disk, and harrow and cross harrow until every inch of the soil has been stirred and broken as fine as possible. A mixture of 300 pounds of 16 per cent, of acid phosphate, 100 pounds of cotton seed meal, and 200 pounds of potash, followed in March with a top pressing of 50 to 75 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre is good fertilizer for oats on average soil. The best variety for fall sowing in the south are Red Rust proof type. The original Red Rust proof, the Ap pier and Bancroft are so nearly alike that no one can tell them apart if shown side by side. , The Burt oat is for spring sowing. The quantity of seed that is neces sary to sow an acre of oats is variable. If sown early in the season or sown on very fertile soil a smaller quantity of seed may be used than If sown late or sown on poor land. If the crop is planted 25 per cent, less seed may ba used than if the same crop were to be sown broadcast. There are three methods commonly practiced of planting oats, namely: Sowing broadcast,, open furrow and drilling. Drilling of the seed Is to be preferred, since considerably less seed can be used if drilled by machine; the seeds are covered at a uniform depth and come up, grow, and ripen uni formly; the small ridges made by the drill afford a slight degree of protec tion from the cold; and the yield from drilled oats is usually greater than that from broadcost oats. The seed saved, and the larger crops that usually re sult from drilled oats, will soon pay for a good drill on the farm. It is well nigh impossible to discuss oats in the cotton belt without discuss ing lespedezc, cow peas, soy beans and peanuts, as these crops are almost as much a counterpart of oats as the Siamese twin Ang was of his brother Chang. As soon as all danger of frost is past, sow about one bushel of lespe deza right on top of the growing oats, and make no attempt to cover what ever. It is advisable to divide the bushel into two halves and sow them broadcast, first one-half over the land walking east and west and the other half walking north and south. The. oats will be ready to cut in May and June. At this time the lespedsza plants will be so small as to be hard ly perceptable, though you can see whether you have a stand or not. Up to that time the oats have been taking the strength and water from the soil, but the first summer rain makes a dif ference. The weeds come with a rush and threaten to choke out the lespe- OATS.

At this time it is neces sary to set the mower blade so high as not to touch the lespedeza and top the weeds once or twice. The lespedeza begins to bloom in September and October, and is ready to harvest. It is best to cut when in bloom and all green. '" Do not cut when wet from dew or rain. Mow in forenoon, windrow and cock in five or six feet high, 200 to 00 pounds to the cock and cover with lowells or eight-ounce duck covers about nine feet square. After about three day3 open out, air is needed, and haul to barn or stack. It is, of course, unnecessary to offer suggestions rela tive toJJie growing of cow peas, soy beans and peanuts after oats. The farmers of the cotton belt have had some little experience in growing these crops after oats. The development of the diversified agriculture and the increasing of the acreage devoted to the oats and the leguminous crops will do, much to hasten the day of independent on the cotton belt farms. wmmimmmi Capital Is Taking on the WASHINGTON. "I used to think that Washington was the quiet fcot big city in the world," sighed a "good old times" person, "and I loved it on that acount. Hut now!" The sigh and the shake of the head were eloquent. If memory serves, it was Mrs. Adams, wire of the president, who complained of Washington as a wil derness. The streets, she said, were composed of mud that covered the hubs of the wheels of her carriage. . Probably, w ith such a paving there was practically no noise of- traffic l likewise no traffic. "The city protects its citizens from unnecessary noises," said Maj. Syl- : vester, "but as Washington each year J takes on more and more the attributes of a metropolis the number of neces sary noises increases." Just then a man blustered into the outer office and demanded a copy of the police regulations. "I want," he said, "to find out what we've got to submit to and what we haven't. A crowd of boys congregates in the alley back of our house. They Fewer Strong Men Found ECRUITS in the army are deterior ating in physical standards since the days of the Civil War, according to Captain Harold W. Jones and oth er officers of the army medical corps. During a recent investigation meas urements of 500 recruits were examin ed, and it was found that the per centage of strong men enlisted is by far the lowest at the present day, only 33 per cent, as against 57 per cent, iu 1875. , The men considered weak at the present time are 43 per cent, as against 10 per cent, in 1S75. At tention is called to the fact that the percentage of foreign-born recruits has fallen from more than 60 per cent, to about nine per cent. Ic is suggest ed that many of the recruits obtained years ago were hardy German and Irish emigrants of stocky build, which may account for the great dif ference in the percentage of strong men. ' "We must take the figures cautious ly," says that officer. "As I have said, I think there is no doubt that we are getting a different type of man in the service tqday from what we got years ago; he may be just as good and he may have more brains, but They Knew President Wilson as Boy "Tommy" M p life IN the throng of visitors at the executive offices the other day President Wilson found two friends of his boyhood day 3, the Misses Eliza beth M. and Ellen D. Bellamy of Wil mington, N. C. The two sisters, well advanced in age, were ushered into the outer cilices just as the president, according to his usual custom, began shaking hands with the friends of con gressmen. "There he is now," said one of the sisters; "I knew I could tell him, but bow old he has gotten. We used to call him Tommy. I am afraid I'll call him that yet." "You mustn't do that," interrupt She Proves to Husband REPRESENTATIVE Clayton of Ala bama dropped in on Postmaster General Burleson the other day and found him sweltering over some un pronounceable postoffice addresses, lie came to the rescue by telling of some of his own experiences. "One of my good frinds and sup porters in all my races for congress," Judge Clayton averred, "had the unique name of Doremus Erasmus Cadwalader Uiddlesperger. One night,", continued the judge, "I went (o a country dance not far from my home and among the dancers was a Mr. Pinkney t'ommilion. who had for his fair partner Miss Mahaly Maholy back." Mr. Burleson seemed to doubt the, veracity of the Alabama member. "That's not all," continued the Jude. "A young colored woman, smil- Trail Attributes of a Metropolis yell and howl there and play ball,' and thej' cut up the brooms that they find in the alley entrances and use them for bats." "What will you do about that?" the correspondent asked Maj. Sylvester. "It must go through the courts." "But the policeman on that beat shouldn't he have done something?" "We'll investigate that. There are regulations forbidding ball playing and disorderly conduct on the city thoroughfares." Meanwhile the irate gentleman had followed a quiet-spoken individual who had asked him to "come with me and make a statement." Then there is the tragic story of the apartment house resident the cliff dweller of civilization. One of these, wooing a greatly desired morning nap, is awakened in the young hours of the morning by the .milkman. The milk man has been awake these many hours, and has absorbed all that ex hilaration which,- so we are told may be extracted from the dawn. Having absorbed said exhilaration, the milk man proceeds to exude it again for the benefit of all whom it may concern whether the beneficiaries desire it or not. Then comes the ice man, clatter, clatter, into the alley. Certain horses must be addressed in loud and man datory tones else they will not stand just right. A swarm of boys must de liver ice in all directions, and cali across intervening space for instruc tions. But, at last, they, too, go. Among Recruits of Today he does not seem to have as much brawn. "Whether the present-day recruit would last as well under the old con ditions of hard frontier service with sanitary conditions far inferior to those of the present time is hard to say, but I think it doubtful if he would. "The high percentage of strong men in 1876 to 1879 may be due to the fact that the recruiting, at least in this part of the country, was not very active then and the army could pick its men, accepting only the hard iest and best. Finally, I believe fur ther investigation along the lines sug gested in this paper in other parts of the country might tell us whether our standard Is really deteriorating or not." ed the other. "It's Mr. President now." "You know the first time I ever saw him," said Miss Ellen, rerainis cently, ' he was riding a bicycle." "It was the first time I ever saw a bicycle, too," rejoined her sister. The two sisters told one of the secretaries how their brother, as fam ily physician for the Wilsons, was summoned to attend the mother of the future president. . "Tommy came over," said Miss El len, "to get me to stay with his moth er. He stayed around and was a very helpful boy. I said at that time Tom my would make a fine husband for somebody some day. How proud his father would be if he could see him now." Just then the president came over, the two women introduced themselves, and President Wilson said he remem bered them quite well. He expressed his regret that Mrs. Wilson and the members of his family were not home to greet them, and the two sisters went forth beaming with satisfac tion. - Her Wifely Devotion ttliSBAND 50 NAMFD On SA.8Y - TRULY mm?
