But there are some that it ic well to keep almost as close to us as we do our Bibles, to me. one of this sort is this ancient vol ume.

This “Course of Time" is as true a picture of this 80th century as it was of those ancient days. The pictures of those up<<n whose ears fell the words. “Ye knew your duty and ye did it not.” is too awful not to tearh a lesson. But the lesson is not heeded now any more than when the first pair of mortals sinned. Faithful men and women of every age have oesought men and women to read and live the life depicted in the Bible. Then, aa now. “Many believe*, but more the truth of God Turned to a lie. deceiving and deceived.” From the days of our Saviour's life on earth until the present time there have been these who could not see divinity in Him nor were they true enough to give Him credit for His resurrection.

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. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU Des r HMteebeM: May 1 haw a neat by- Marion Stevena this morning ?

Could he have played at other homes if the beads of those families stood as you and I do on the card subject? The above qestion is a vital one.

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.

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.

FAIRBANK COMPANY Goes one-third Farther than Butter or Lard h ;MELYILLEPHIINEBOXES ARE ILL UNDER TO 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.
