They had Just fln’shed some nei-h --borhood business and were eating the luscious melons one of the men had brought, these six prosperous farmers, when one asked the man who lived far thest away to go home and have dinner before he turned his face homeward. "If you like plenty of meat in your pease, better not." was the laughing remark of another man. "I sold a can of lard yesterday and have plenty more where that came from." was the quick response. **! bet he's got lard in his smoke house two years old.” another said. “If be has he’d better get rid of it to a soap factor). for 1 promise you it's not fit to eat.” the oldest man in the party said. "Why. Uncle Jimmie, what's the mat ter with lard two years old. you have cotton bales more than that age?" “Cotton's cotton, son, and lard kept In Florida that long is bound to be strong.' the old man said. My wife says if lard is made right and the pigs are corn fed she will put her lard against any for staying firm. The man with lard two years old asserted. "If they buy the sort of meat we got yesterday I’ll warrant they will not want lard," said the only newcomer among them. "I cut eight slices as large as my hand for three of us at breakfast and I'll declare there was over a pint of grease and eight strips as large as my two fingers left. “Oh, that meat was killed on the de crease of the moon." one of them quick- | ly said. ''My wife wants our hogs killed that way. We are small meat I eaters. That sort seasons vegetables better than the others as a smaller piece makes more grease and that's what you need with vegetables. The meat I sell I kin on the increase for most people like to see it come out of the pan as well as go in.” "Son. if you have any to sell this year you will be among the kings of the earth.” "Tou have some you expect to sell, don’t you. Uncle Jimmie?" was the question of more than one. "Tea, yes, but you youngsters all have newfangled ways of keeping off chol era." aas the guarded answer. "I'll bet f that no two men here use the same med icine. And when his hogs begin to fall he never blames a thing but luck. Start ed Log raising on the decrease of the moon most likely," he chuckled. Then all began at once on how their hogs were doing. It developed that one has lost 36. another 70 and another 18. I could but wonder over the way that they took it. I’ve seen more fuss made over things not half as important. Those men will feel the loss, certainly, but It does not mean that their own meat supply will in any way be restricted. Crops are nothing like what they should be. but the acreape is large in corn, pea nuts. peas and the various hay producing plants.

I wonder if any other state has suffered with insects as this one has? The melon crop, squashes, cucumbers and now the beans are a prey to the devourers. Not the same sort for borers were in the mel ons. worms in squashes and bugs on the vines. The past winter was the coldest for years, yet the earth, the soli, was teeming with slugs and larvae of every sort. They seemed only waiting the plan t arrival. I heard a man say that one flock of blackbirds saved him hundreds of dollars this year. The grasshoppers had taken to his peas and the birds routed them. He said that the last bird had been killed on his land and that he meant to entice them there after this. I was delighted to hear this, for the wholesale slaughter of birds has been a crying shame. Small boys with sling shots, others with guns and the so-called ‘Sportsman’’ who shoots all in sight have decimated their ranks until the farmers are seeing the difference. A farmer told me last month that quail would be at a premium this winter. The continued rains have kept the eggs from hatching and there are almost no young birds. A nest was found yesterday with U eggs in it. They may mature, but the young birds will not And the quantity of food that they would have found if hatched in due season. The smart farmer wUI post his land and enforce his wishes with a shotgun if it becomes necessary to protect his birds that way, says this same farmer. He says that if a law could be passed that not a quail shall be killed this winter there will be some prospect of a moderate supply' after this. 1 wonder how many of The Journal readers have put any pheasants on their lands. I would like to hear of their suc cesses and failures. The failures re corded are as important to some read ers as the successes. As the little boy once said the failures of other people “teach us how to don't" There was a pheasant <farm several miles from At lanta: it was getting on finely the last I heard of it. and I want to *hear from it again. I should think that any one that can raise guineas could raise pheas ants. This summer I was strongly re minded of the fact that the “call of the wild" is still heard by the young ones. A hen had twenty guinea eggs under her. We went to see how she was getting on and found a nest full of shells but only one small bird. The hen had Been se curely boxed in. or every one supposed so. to keep the hounds from breaking her up, but a tiny hole was found and through it nine had gone at least a hundred yards, as far as their strength permitted, I suppose, and we had to run them down. They no more noticed the hen’s calling than they did our per suasive voices. When the last egg hatched they were put in a pen and the game had to be played over. They found most unaccountable places to slip out, and not a sign could be seen of them, so much were -they like the oak leaves, until they began to call. If I had any surplus flesh I lost it chasing guineas. It was sport, but sometimes I would grasp a ragged root instead of the, wild little creature I had seen there a moment before. But I got to be quite an expert and this winter when I am put to it to find a new game for the girls I may put wads of paper over the gymnasium floor and let the girls chase guineas. Some of you might take this idea and work out a splendid game. Ideas are worth something as a rule, but I scatter this broadcast. I’ve worked over it enough in the guinea field and will welcome the game as en tirely your own. Faithfully’ yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. a Letter to ponder over.

Golden Text: And he took the damsel by the hnnd and Mid unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted. Damsel, X i.ay unto thee, Arise. Mark 5:41. The day after Jesus had cast out the dumb demoniac in the synagogue, and refuted the charge of the rulers, and be gun speaking in parables, and had calm ed the storm, and had cast out the le gion of devils from the man of Gadara came back to Capernaum from the Ga.d arene side of the lake because of the urgent request of the Gadarenes that He leave their ctiy. The multitudes at Capernaum were glad enough to receive Him forever, and He had a busy day again. In the company was one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. He had seen Jesus work many miracles and had heard many of His words, but until now he had held aloof from Him. He had no doubt until now shared the popular hatred of him which the scribes and the Pharisees felt; but now that he was in great need, he presented a different at titude. He had an only daughter just 12 years old; she was desperately ill; the physicians had not been able to stay the disease, and had informed him that there was no hope for the child. How hard it was for them to do this can only be imagined by those who are not physi cians, and the desperate distress which the news caused in this father’s heart can not be imagined, but only be known by those who have also heard these words. In his distress he would grasp at any thing that offered the slightest hope. He thought of the Teacher and Wonder Worker in their city, and although he had not been willing to admit His claims. and had felt that He was a dangerous man to have in the commu nity because He was setting aside all tile popular notions and traditions of the synagogue, he was willing now to go even to .Him if perchance He could do anything for his only daughter who had twined herself' so about his heart. THE CRY OF GREAT NEED. He was one of those who greeted Jesus on His return from Gadara. Finding Him he fell at His feet, and besought Him greatly, sayitig, “My lit tle daughter lyeth at the point of death. I pray thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live.” The word “besought” con veys the idea that he kept on asking, not that Jesus did not care to go, but it was to let the man realise how earn est he had to be in his request. This prayer had in it many of the elements of power—it was humble. Jairus did not ask it because he was a high of ficer In the synagogue, but bowing as a suppliant at His it was intense, and earnest, and persistent: it was defi nite; he knew just what he wanted and asked for that. Many a request falls to be a prayer, and is, therefore, unan swered, because it fails in these points. Jairus did not have the faith of the centurion; he asked simply that Jesus say the word and his servant should be healed; but Jairus felt that the presence of Jesus was also necessary. However, Jesus honored what faith he had and went with him. He never refuses an in vitation to help. He will honor what little faith you may have, if you tell Him you are in need and want Him to help you. And as He went a great mul titude followed Him and thronged Him. THE TOUCH OF FAITH. In the crowd was a woman whose condition Mark describes with keen sar casm. but which Luke, who was a phy sician, softens somewhat. Mark says she had had an issue of blood 12 years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew wdrse. Luke says she had spent all her living upon physi cians, neither could be healed of any. No wonder Mark felt thpt way. Pliny says the treatment for this condition then was “a poultice of ass' dung and a draught of goat’s wine." Her con dition was a desperate one. Natural timidity made her shrink from any publicity, but edging her way through the great crowd, she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, saying, “If I but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole.” She touched the hem because it was as near as she could get, and also because amo?g the Jews there was a peculiar sanctity felt for the hem. They enlarged th- borders o’ how <lcar to her pme spirit w"« the land she bud eutered, all the bitterness left uie. The grief w:i* Jinn as deep., Just as lasting and it will ever be till.

It strengthens me in rny. wildest, saddest hours and Inspires •me when hope seems dead. Tl»- memory of her sweet life draws my thoughts Irresistibly to the “garden of rest,” where 1 know she is, and calmed, sweetened and strengthened.

HOW *T>OTTT THTP ’ T>ea- Household; I'm he-e tn .sav right now that Mrs. Alexander Is “only one of many." I think, though, she ought to be thankful for that good “John” of her’s. for remember, I. for one. am not. My babies (I have two>, are rot twins, but very near, and my, my. talk about “times." bur I do have one occa sionally. When my "John" comes ia and the bab'es are crying, and I tun buay. he takes The Journal and off to some eool place be goes. Now, I do not think that right, for when there was work to do in the field I would go and their garments when they wanted to show themselves particularly religious. Immediately she felt herself cured, and Jesus felt the call upon His sympathy. He asked a question which astonished Peter. When such a crowd was throng ing Him it seemed almost foolish to ask who touched Him. But this touch was different *lOlO that of every other one there —this was a touch of faith. At first sight It might seem cruel that Jesus should have exposed this timid woman's suffering to the crowd. But it was not cruel. He wanted to give her the largest blessing and had she gone away with only the healing of her body she would have been the loser. By call ing her to do what was for her a very difficult thing, He was enabled to give her the greatest blessing any man or woman may have—spiritual life and health. If you are made to do a diffi cult thing, write a letter of , forgive ness, ask forgiveness for something you have done, acknowledge a fault, It is not cruel but kind to Insist on your doing it, for without that you cannot have the largest blessing. It is worth all that It cost this woman, however, for she got more than she expected. THE WORD OF POWER. All of this delay must have been very embarrassing and distressing to Jairus. When he had left home his dear little daughter was almost drawing her last breath; every moment was precious; every delay costly. Jesus had never raised any one from the dead, and Jairus felt It imperative that Jesus get there before the end egme. But during the de lay a messenger came from the home of Jairus telling that It was needless to trouble the Master any further, for the child had passed away. Evidently the whole family were united in their ef forts to give the child this one chance; but their efforts seem now to be of no avail. F I want you to note, however, three words, "as soon as.” Jesus realised what this message must mean to this father’ll heart; He is always sensitive to any suf fering, so as soon as He heard the mes sage, not giving the father time to de spair, He said to him: “Be not afraid, only believe.” Fear always drives out faith. His delay was not only to help the woman, but to develop the faith of Jai rus. It had not occurred to Jairus that Jesus could do anything after death had come; he did have faith enough to be lieve that Jesus could do something for her if He got there before she died, even though all hope had been given up by the physicians. When He came to the house He did not allow any of the curi ous crowd to enter; He did not even take with Him all of His disciples; but with Peter, James and John, He and the father and mother entered Into the room where the dead child lay. He put out Immediately the professional mourners who were making a fuss with their mean ingless repetitions. He told them that the child was not dead but sleeping; they did not understand it and laughed Him to scorn. They had no doubt in their own minds as to what her condition was. It was well enough that this was so; it only added force to the miracle. I think I can almost hear Him as He spoke with exquisite tenderness and gen tleness to the little maid. Taking her by the hand He said, “Little darling, get up,” and immediately she arose and walk ed. There was none of the prolonged convalescence that would be requpired after such an Illness; health and strength had come at His word. The father and mother were almost wild with joj, and came near getting the things that they should have done. But although this was the greatest miracle that had ever been performed, it might have, without a great deal of wonder, created great ex citement, Jesus was as calm as if it was an every day occurrence; it was as nothing to Him, who had created the universe. So with all the calmness imag inable He looked after the little details which tn their excitement the parents had forgotten: telling them to give her food, for she was hungry. Jesus always responds to the cry of faith: all you need to know is your des perate need and His willingness to help. Be not afraid, only believe, and He will speak the word of power which will make you whole. work till lo o'clock, tlx-n conw and cook din ner and supper h<>th and go bnck and hoe till night.

I’m noi here to grumble about all these things, for I take it all fair and easy. “John” ha* not always been this way.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, survivor of the Titanic dis aster in which her husband, Col. John Jacob Astor, lost his life, gave birth to a son at 8:15 o’clock this morning. The new arrival has ben named John Jacob Astor after its father. The baby becomes a direct heir to $3,000,000 of the Astor fortune. News of the arrival of the Astor bay was made known in a bulletin issued by Dr. Edwin B. Craigin, the attending physician. The bulletin read: “Mrs. Astor has a son, born at 8:15 o’clock. His'/lame is John Jacob Astor. Mother and son are in good condition.” SON OF TITANIC HERO. The fact that his father proved himself a hero in the Titanic disaster, and that the wife from whom he then parted was his bride of only a few months, I coupled with 4he large fortune which was provided for a posthumous child, have lent unusual interest to the arrival of the youngest Astor. The new Astor boy will be one of the few children ever born with a fortune as large as $3,000,000 in its own right. Colonel Astor had provided that wheth er the child was a boy or girl, it should receive $3,000,000. Even if the stork had brought more than one child, Colonel Astor’s will covered that contingency.

BLUE RIDGE, Ga.. Aug. 13. —The Georgia Baptist asembly entered upon the second and last week of ips work for the season of 1812 and it has been by far the most successful seasofl it has known. There has been much building going on and now there are a dozen or more very neat and comfortable cottages on the assembly grounds. They are all occupied and many a weary man and woman is here taking on new life for the work of the fall and winter which is just ahead of them. Very little time was allowed Mr. George Andrews in which to arrange the pro gram, but he has succeeded in provid ing both entertainment and instruction for those who have been present. Each morning there has been a devotional hour under the auspices of the Woman's Mis sionary union of the state, and this has been followed by a lecture on conditions in Brazil by Rev. J. W. Shepard, one of the missionaries of the Southern Baptist convention in that interesting country. DR. BEALER’S TALK. Rev. Alex W. Bealer has been giving some chalk talks or picture sermons, in which he has used the blackboard and then he has been giving a daily read! g from one of the southern writers. He has read from the works of Harry Stillwell Edwards, Thomas Nelson Page, Joel Chandler Harris, Howard Weeden and Miss Will Allen Dromgoole. In addition to this he has read some original sketches. Possibly the most attractive feature of the session has been the daily ser mons on representative men of the Old Testament by Rev. Dr. F. C. McConnell, of Waco, Tex. He has spoken during the past week on Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Ja cob, Moses and Joshua and has charmed a large congregation of visitors and local people by his original interpretation of the lives of these great men. Dr. Mc- Connell Is a thinker and a very original one at that, but he is very orthodox and never departs from the old-fashioned faith of the fathers once delivered to the saints. He has been eloquent and im pressive and has stamped his personality indelibly upon those who have heard him. Every cottage on the grounds is occu pied and many have been enjoying the unique experience of living in tents. These tents are floored and are perfetet ly comfortable. The fresh mountain air, together with the beautiful mountain scenery and the fine mineral and free stone water make this an ideal place in which to spend a little season of rest and recreation. Among the visitors to the assembly this season are many of the best known Baptists in the state. Dr. S. Y. Jame son, president of the assembly, and his family are here, and so is Rev. J. E. Sammons, of Griffin, and his family, and Rev. J. S. McLemore and wife, of Dal ton, with quite an interesting party of young people from the First Baptist church. PROMINENT VISITORS.

SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. Sikeston, Mo. “For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for four or five dflys at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or I have anyone move in | the room. The doc j tors gave me medi * cine to ease me at '“Kr MH those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband’* told him about Lydia E. Pinkham’» Veg etable Compound and what it had don* for his wife, I was willing to take it Now I look the picture of health and feel like it too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me.’’—Mrs. Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg* ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.
