REES COMMENTS ON TOBACCO SITUATION "The continued rains of the past couple of weeks has given u " - vTonn to set tobacco. I hope they are taking advantage of the good sea sons as to my mind this is the year to Plant all the tobacco thai t . i f arm; er can conveniently take care of, slid Col. Evan Rees, when ' dcssin the tobacco situation. In the first Place there is a shortage of plants brought about by one reason or an other in all of the large tobacco grow ing centers. The Appalachian valley country is more fortunate in this res pect than either Kentcuky or Middle Tennessee, where frost, bugs, etc, cut dowS the pknt production, therefore the shortage of plants whi to a mis fortune to some sections, will be tno scar&y ot Plant, tatto large produc ing territories M a-; maStotjf 'ThVn ther7 w7re sections who last year started to gro w tobacco as an experiment and owing to their inferior crop and low prices on common tobacco, did not sow plant beds nd from all of the information ereat aemanu ; looking types of tobacco such . fa crown in this section, therefore it w bound to cause much higher prices on into type which is so easily irrown in the Appalachian section. My advice continued Col. Rees . to the , farmers of this section, is to plant every hill oi this secuun, f care 0f. tODacco . mnrA that There is no crop in the world tnai will pay so much to the acre as a to bacco crop. wonderfully du pastlwo j--g E farmers of this section to take idvanUge of 6ne of their pwy .

Mia. rirla Pnnder tOOK SUPPer wun AN APPRECIATION FOR THE ANSWERS ON DANCING By MISS MADIA GENEVA RIDDLE I want to thank those who replied to my article, "Is Dancing the Great er Sin" and I wish to say that I am not upholding, or never have, any thing that is condemned in any way in the Bible. It seems as 11 you wno replied to my article tried to inti mate that I was upholding the sin ful dancing. I asked the question "Is Dancing the Greater Sin.'" men gave my views irom a BiDie sianupoim., along with a number of questions which I wished to have the views of others on. In regard to the reference given by Mr. B. J. Ledford, I most readily agree with him that in the 5th chap ter, 21st verse of Galatians, we find that Paul pointed out different works of the flesh, revelings being among the number of them. Webster defines revelry as boisterous merry-making. He also defines boisterous as rough or rude. In the definition of rough you will find the word boisterous used the same as disorderly. He says rough and rude in reference to be haviour suggests violence, ' orderly conduct or discourtesy. I wish ,rnn wrvnlrl TlLcase lOOK up me wuiu violence. In connection with dancing or any other form 01 merry-maaing. I agree that it is a sin, proviucu . performed in a boisterous way, but I am exceedingly sorry that you did not get my point. I said that I had been taught that there was no harm in dancing provided it was performed in a nice way. Anything being per formed in a nice Way could not be violent, or looked on as disorderly cou duct or discourtesy. I know Mr. Led-tr-A that von did not make this mis take purposely. A great many times v,;i- nre have a nroblem solved V C 1,1111111 .w ' - . . i but when it is tested, it won t wora. both ways. . , , t:u, I have never lounu in tne oiuf where the Lord went to a dance, but read Exodus-15:20-21 and 2nd Sam. 6-15, where the women went out with timbrels andj with dances and sang praises to the Lord, because he deli v- ered the cnuaren out i bsjvi destroyed Pharaoh's army in the sea. j when rtnviri danced before the Lord, and the L01W rebuhed them not. 5Aa far as tne .cnurcnes re cumwu that the firreater part of them are about dead and have taken on a form of worship wnetner have dances in the settlement or not. In the 6th chapter we find tha. John the Baptist was beheaded after being confined in prison because he told Herod that it was not lawful for him to have his brother's wife. This caused Herodias to have a quarrel a gainst him, and in a general summary I believe that we could be safe m that the wickedness of Herodias was the. cause- of the death of John. the Baptist. We do nna aancinB o.. nected with it but in n indirect way. I think you can hnd m tne oiuie where it says that there is a time for all things. These are the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. . 1 "To everything mere is and a time to every purpose under the heaven." - .

I am aware oi tne iaci ,ir tw. l.riiririff.ln Rnme was sinful and Lindecent.iand I certainly am opposed to ay such dancing as that, ana i wm vou to oroughly understand tho.t 1 ... . l a.1 x T AnnAS stated in my article mat x w ed to ronnd dancing, so you need not have mentioned the modern dance in connection with w questions. I was already "Ware of tlie fact that it was a sin, and I am certainly not trying to make any compromise with sin in any of its forms and especially not with th". modern dance. . I wish to state.tha I did not siy that G 'ver authorised anyone to praise Him. with .musical instruments. I said " tlease wad the last Psalm, esoeciatlr, the fourth verse, whew it exhorts to praise God with the dance, and with stringed instruments;,' I hore you will pardoa me for be- so reclsa about tha matter put I o not wish to be exposed as trying t cirr- -te anything falsa through tvcol n of the News-Record, and t -k i would have been any more vrn f tha preacher I mentioned to h-ve p' ed aacred aongs on tha ssv-e.stri-"-,d instrument than to have rvyed -m on the .organ, andj yes, : in : j4,urcK How, could anyone normal mental ability even '"r trowed songs at being amuse-j-t - v entertainment and ft moat on a aevett atriged instruraent, or any J other kind of one and in church. I did not try to leave the impres sion that the other sins I mentioned would make dancing any less a sin. I only mentioned them in connection with question "Is Dancing the Groat- , er Sin?" . . No, I have never read of Jesus at tending a dance, or any other kind" of amusement, such as ball games, and in regard to your views of the physi cal, harmless amusement, I wish to say that harm can come from the so cial games, and does. How many ball games have you seen or heard of be ing played without hardness between the teams, the players will have dis putes over the scores, they will even fight and many people have been ser iously injured and killed over ball games and in the act of pplaying, they abuse theri bodies in playing. In cities like Detroit, Mich., the above mentioned things are happening con tinually. People stake money on the teams and in some places ball game are even played on Sunday. Would we not call such things as these evilt I believe that social games are per fectly harmless if they are performed for the purpose ot exercise ana narm less amusement but how many ball games are played merely for the ex ercise? You certainly can make harm out of dancing, and dancing can be used for the good purpose of recrea tion just the same as can any other kind of physical training exercises. I wish to say that in regard to min isters preaching for a salary I looked up your references,, and in them I fnnnH nn Ran et.inn to ministers de manding a salary for they're preach ing the Gospel. I certainly do be lieve in tne collections ior me min isters, and everyone paying them ac cording to their ability, but the Bible does not speak in favor of a preacher demanding a certain amount of mon ey to be paid him monthly or anual ly in exchange for his work for the Lord. And in case a certain church can't afford to pay the amount he de mands, he saying independently, I can't pastor your church." Notice what Paul says to the Cor itvthiana in the 9th chapter and 18th verse of 1st Cor. "What is my re ward then? Verily, tnat wnen preach "the Gospel, I may make the i e rhr-iat without charee. that 1 abuse not my power in the Gospel. "For, though I be tree irom au mm. yet have I made mysei servant nrto all, htat I might gain the more. I believe that we will receive our reward in Heaven in exenange im what we do for Jthe Lord.

"Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and Ood feeHeth them; how much more are ye bet - the fow'.s?" 1 . arc the 22nd, 23rd, - 3 ver""'. Notice the 10th chapter of c,. - '-r :?r)eciallv the 7th verse. "ami in the "same house remain, eat ing and drinking such things as they givr for the labourer is worhty ot his h'.re. It doesn't seem to mean tha' -e is worthy of the ppric? ? de mar for his service or labor, but the price that is paid unto him. There is quite a lot of difference be tween the words hire, hiring, and hireling. The words hire and wage; denn'fc the price paid for labor and the v.ord salary denotes a fixed com pensation, we speak of ministers who do r-t demand a salary as beir-.-lecteu by the churches they P-ot j 4.1.. .nea nrhn demand a salary . - ine hired. I don't believe that we have any mow w - isters. but for giving to them freely th price paid for theiw service. I am not using these remarks aa restr active citicism.
