I It is so easy to pick flaws and to try
I to pull to pieces things that do not ex
actly suit us.
There are many instances of religion
changing the entire nature of the con
vert. from a morose, silent individual the
change to a genial, friendly sort often
has made it hard for another who has
the love of God and man as deep in the
heart, but a timidity prevents the spon
taneous handshake and hearty greeting
of the other one. I have asked people
why they did not go to a certain church
in Atlanta, only to be told that it was
too cold and formal. I knew that was a
mistake, but no words of mine could con
vince some people.
I notice that, as a rule, the world is a
mirror and when you smile you see a
smile reflected. I have spoken to people
in * church only to be answered in the
briefest tones.
Again. I have met some charming peo
ple by speaking to the strangers. 1 often
want to ask people who comp:ain about
the way they are treated in churches
why they do not go ahead arid set the
better example. God's house is as much
yours as mine, if you are a regular at
tendant and give of your substance "as
the Lord hath prospered you.” Don’t
misunderstand me; I do not say that you
are to feel cramped if you go to a
church where you have paid no money.
But I do say that every one of us feel
more interested in the church we help to
support. Don’t say that every time you
go to church there is a call for money.
There is nothing that can be carried on
without some expense and if there is
always a call for money it means that
there are some in that church who have
not paid their assessments. Get your
Bibles and see how the Temple was built.
It wasn’t any cheap affair. God’s house
deserves to be the very best in the neigh
borhood. If it is not. it shows that some
body lias not been honest in his or her
account with God. The tithe has not
been put in the Lord's treasury.
How are you in your own home:’. Do
you wait for other people to come up
and speak to you? Do jdu not feel that
it is your duty and pleasure to make it
a pleasant place for others? Then in
your Father's house you should feel quite
as much at home, and feeling so, should
do all in your power to win others to
that house that stands a monument to a
Father's love.
How we should long for the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit, for the spiritual calm
that contents itself with all that comes,
if it comes from a Father's hand. There
are heavenly helps for every effort you
make in uplifting enterprises, if you keep
your heart filled with love for your fel
low creatures and expel all malice and all
uncharitableness.
Faithfully yours.

GOLDEN TEXT—“Putting away falsehood, speak ye troth one to another,
for wo are members one of another.” Ephesians 4:85.
In continuing His enunciations of
the principles which should govern
the subjects of the Kingdom, Jesus cut
deeply into the practices prevailing at
thatt ime regarding oaths. He called
attention to the fact that in olden days
the emphasis had been placed upon not
breaking an oath, but He placed the
emphasis on not making an oath. In
the days in which He lived, people had
gotten to use oaths with very little
provocation; they would swear by
heaven, or by earth, or by Jerusalem,
or by the temple, or by their own
heads, not considering jhat they had
no control over any of these. Jesus
said to those who were subjects of
the new Kingdom that they must not
swear m all, and called attention to
the fact that the heaven is God’s
throne, the earth His footstool, Jerusa
lem the city of the King, and that
they could not make so much as one
hair on their heads white or black.
Their speech was to be yea, yea, and
nay, nay.
What did He mean by this? Would
He eliminate the legal oath? Was He
giving an explanation of the way they
should live in the face of the great
tendency to break the third command
ment? Let us see. I think a close ex
amination of His own life and of other
scriptures will show that He was not
decrying the practice of making a
proper oath, but the abuse of it. Paul
called God to witness several times.
God Himself swore by Himself, seeing
that there was no greater by whom He
could swear. Even Jesus allowed the
High Priest to swear Him when He
was tried before the Sanhedrin, al
though He Himself did not swear. So
that we see that He was not decrying
against the practice, but against the
abuse. Matthew 23:16, gives us an in
teresting sidelight on the customs of
the time, and the abuse of swearing
which had grown up under the influ
ence of the Phariseesfl. They had made
all kinds of distinctions amongst oats;
those which were binding, and those
which .were not. A man might swear
by the temple' and not be bound by it,
but if he swore bw the gold of the
temple he was bound. He might swear
by the altar and not be bound by it;
but if he swore by the gift on the
altar, he was bound.
He might swear by Jerusalem and
not be bound by it, but if he looked
toward Jerusalem when he swore by
Jerusalem he was bound. The over
laying of all these distinctions which
had been made by the Pharisees was
not only absurd, but demoralizing.
Jesus called attention to their hy
pocrisy in this matter, and insisted
that the subjects of the Kingdom
should not be guilty of the same
abuses. He laid down the principle
to govern them, that their lives should
be so true that a simple yes or no
from them would be sufficient.
WHAT IS TRUTH?
There is danger in an oath; it is this:
It tends to create in (he mind of people
generally the supposition that there are
two kinds of truth—one kind of truth
which a man will tell when he is under
an oath, and another kind of truth
which he will tell when not under an
oath. Is this possible? Is it possible
to have two kinds of truth? Is truth
of such a nature that it is capable of
duplicity? The answer to this question
leads us to another; the question which
■.Pilate asked Jesus, and which was
never answered in words—What is
truth?
In the Old Testament the word which
is translated truth has as its root
meaning "building upon.” Trustwor
thy or dependable would be synona
mous terms with the root idea of this
Old Testament word. In the New
Testament the word translated truth
means “without concealing.” Think of
these words* which the Holy Spirit has
selected to convey hig idea ot us, and
see if you can give a definition of truth,
and an answer to Pilate’s question.
For a statement to be true it must
conform absolutely with the reality;
the thought must conform with the
fact; the subjective with the objective.
Before going further with our defini
cburch inenbers and few Christians accord
ing to the teachings of the Bible: but I must
not take up any more space this time. J.
Frank Snell, where are you? All of you
good writers come, let's have a reunion—a
happy one, too. Yours cordially,
BUSY BEE.
AN OLD FRIEND RETURNS
Pear Household: It ha» been a long time
since 1 visited the Household—more than a
year, but 1 have not failed to read all of
the letters. My health has been ao bad that
1 have apt felt like w.ltlng or doing anything
else, and the rough winter—oh, my!—has it
not been terrible? So hard on old people
like I am: but I see some of the old writers
still remain faithful.
The winter is past and spring has come
again with its balmy days, but, ah, much
Ink! weather that the farmers have done but lit
tle work toward gettihg their land prepared for
planting. Their crops will be late; nothing
will be planted until away in May. Cotton
crops will be’ cut down to some extent and corn
will be increased, as it should be.
During this cold winter I should have been
glad to have been with Miss Thomas in the
Land of Flowers and Sunshine. I think that
I would have enjoyed the winter very much.
We will miss Mr. Bach's genial letters. We
miss many other good letters of the writers
that used to contribute to our page, and would
be glad fn see them back again and to have a
full page again, which would make The Journal
more attractive. I do delight in reading the
Household and Mrs. Felton's good letters, both
of which are worth the subscription to the
paper.
I saw a letter in The Journal of April 19
signed •’Puzzletl Church Member.” I think a
lady wrote it. f Well. J was a puzzled church
member once. I have belonged to four different
denominations, but. like you, I waa ,not satis
fied with the creeds. The Bible does not men
tion denomination. Paul and Apollos planted,
but God alone gave, and still gives the in
crease. Christ is the true vine and we are
His branches. He says. “I am the way, the
truth and the light.” Christ loves the church
as a man loves his wife, and we should love
Him with a singleness and steadfastness of
purpose.
There are good men and women in all the
denominations. They are believing on Jeeus
the Bon of God and their names are written in
the iamb's book of life.
I am always glad to see thijs page, and
send my best wishes to all.
Borne, Gu. GEORGIA VETEKAN.
THE BUSY WIFE
Dear Houeholders: Please allow me a seat
>ver by Elspeth—she wrote such a sweet,
■hoerful letter.
1 God bless everybody that does as well a«
everybody that doesn’t take God's rains and
-tortus for the best. We have had and are
1 <'w having rain tn abundance, but have suf
eed no loss. Os course, we are behind in
iatiting our crops, but the clouds break away,
tie sun shines, the wind dries out the ground
u:-l we are ready for the opportunity to go
ahead with our part.
God always does His work well, and we
Muzuld not question His wisdom, but should be
’••oklng well to our own ways, keep our beasts
leiyi and work wkith willing hands to provide
1 on honest living and we will come out all
right. ‘
The sun is shining now. I wish every one
:of you could liear the music of the birds.
. It seems that each one is trying to rival the
other In song. 1 have Just now a spite at all
I of the hawk-kind l«ecause they are catching
my little chickens, but keep a gun loaded
rosdy for him, and one of these days he may
get hurt.
I must now get my bonnet and go to work
iin the garden. The hugs are sucking my to
mato plnuts and I must give them a dcee
of ashes. I have a few giant sunflower seed I
i would like to exchange for cuttings of roses or
ivy geranium.
All of you Come often and tell us something
t UE R. J
tion we may get some idea of the an
swer from the setting from which that
question was asked. In Pilate’s hall
early Friday, April 5, A. D. 30, stands
Jesus of Nazareth. But a few hours
before, in spite of all His love to him,
Judas had betrayed Him; in spite of
his protestation to the contrary, Peter
had denied Him; in spite of their dec
laration of love for Him, all of His
disciples, including John, had forsaken
Him. The Jews had arrested Him and
tried and convicted Him on the charge
of blasphemy. They had now trans
ferred the case before the court of
Rome and report the findings of their
court as treason. Pilate, the Roman
governor, was sitting in judgment
against Him; as though he was guilty
of the cruel deeds and injustices, and
yet looked upon to exemplify justice.
With this as a background, look at
Jesus; no word of His had ever failed;
no act of His had ever miscarried. He
was now, as He had always been, ex
actly what He had said He would be.
With this picture in mind, go back
to your question: What is truth? In
the light of this, and in the light of the
derivation of the Hebrew and Greek
words, can you give a definition now?
Can you give a satisfactory answer?
Here is one: Truth is the most unbend
ing, most uncompromising, most ada
mantine thing in the whole world. A
statement, to be true, cannot deviate
one iota from the reality. A thought
to be true must not deviate in the slight
est from the actual fact as It exists.
Truth is absolute.
In the light of this, can there be two
kinds of truth; one which a man gives
under oath, and another which a man
gives without oath? There can be, in the
nature of things, no such thing as a
white lie: nor can there be any such
thing as a haff truth. It is either truth
or not truth. Do ybq not see why It
was that Jesus Insisted that the subject
of the kingdom shoul live such a life
that his simple word, yes or no, would
be all sufficient? Swearing by everything
in earth and heaven would not a4d to
the truth of it. nor would it detract from
the truth of it. The subject of the king
dom must live so that his word is as
good as his bond, and the simpler his
words the better.
How can we live such a life? There
is only one way; The devil is the father
of Iles; he was a liar from the beginning.
His greatest delight is in deceiving us
and in making us believe a lie about
ourselves and about others. But Jesus
is the truth, and here is meat of the
cocoanut. The only way for us to over
come the devil and not be deceived by
him is to put ourselves under the leader
ship ot our captain. As we yield our
lives to Christ, and let Him live His life
in us, thus only will we be able to live
such a life that when we say yes there
can be no question, and when we say
no .there shall not be any less.

j Every Store in Louisiana Town
Flooded —People Shop
by Boat
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, May 21.—Reports
from Melville today state that every
store in the town has water over the
floors in varying depths, and the indi
cations are that before the water from
the Alto crevasse, on the Atchafalaya,
begins to recede only a few residences
will be dry. Remaining families are
moving into the second stories of their
dwellings.
Many Meville storekeepers and resi
dents built elevated walks in front of
the places, but the rising flood floated
these away and the only means of
travel is by boat. The postoffice has
been transferred to the railroad station.
Floods from the lower Atchafalaya
crevasses, the Bayou des Glaizes and
Alto breaks driving against the Texas
and Pacific right of way may force sus
pension of traffic before many days.
The engineers have decided to “tie” the
Alto break.
The Atchafalaya continues to rise at
Morgan City, and last night many of
the streets of that town were under
from 6 to 10 inches of water. Mer
chants have bought thousands of feet
of lumber for constructing elevated
floors.
Jules Freytel, aged 35, was drowned
in the river near Morgan City yester
day, when he jumped from an unman
ageable barge. A wife and four chil
dren survive him.
At Hymelia the United States en
gineers have thoroughly organized their
forces for the closure of that crevasse.
Two batteries of driving machines, each
with four separate pile drivers manned
by three crews in eight-hour shifts, are
expected to drive piling across the front
of the break, which last night measur
ed 1,200 feet, within a week. Iron net
ting will be placed against the piles and
1,000,000 sand bags dumped against the
cribbing.
$600,000 HOTEL WILL
BE BUILTJN SAVANNAH
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga., May 22.—1 tis ex
pected that the confirmation of the
contract made by local capitalists with
the representatives of the Falls City
Construction Company, of Louisville,
Ky., for the construction of a $600,000
tourists hotel here will be made to
day. In that event the new hotel com
pany which will own the hostelry will
be immediately formed. The subscrip
tion lists will be opened and a stare
made towards raising $225,000 from
the sale of stock.
The Savannah capitalists seem very
much interested in the proposition and
there seems little doubt but that it
will be pushed through. Work upon
the building will start August 1.
