Dear Lord, they say that many men,
Midst all their business cares.
Before they go to bed at night
• Forget to say their prayers.
Lord, may I not grow up like that,
Though sore my troubles be.
But &lw»ys find the time to have
My goodnight talk with Thee.

Friday Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair
brought me from Madison to Valdosta
In their ear. As we left my sister's
home some of the family said we
would have to hurry or a big rain
would overtaks us. We had not gone
more than three miles before we were
in one. and it finally got to luridly
decorated with lightning that we stop
ped under a big umbrella china tree
and waited till the worst was over. I
suppose we went three more miles
and then we struck a section that had
been visited by a miniature cyclone.
There were trees of all sixes across
the road, some times we could crash
through the bushes and leave the trees
for the road gang to move, at other
places we pitched in and rolled logs,
moved stumps that had been dug out
of the road, piled lightwood knots and
limbs in ditches until the car could
get across and go around the tree that
blocked our way. Fortunately the rain
had ceased before we reached that
part of the way. or I suppose we
would have had to go back and take
another road. The national highway
through Madison and Lowndes coun
ties is in good condition, excepting,
of course, the places I mention and
the gang made that all right as soon
as reported, but between the two
counties there is a few miles belong
ing to Brooks county that would puz
xle the most experienced traveler. It's
a pity. too. for this portion of the na
tional highway is a perfect thorougn- I
fare. My vacation has been passed
right beside it. and there are few
counties in. Florida that have not had
two or three cars at a time on it. •
some going to summer resorts in the
east or central states and many only
going as far as Atlanta. There have ;
also been a great many going to Jack- I
sonville. home seekers and investors
who wanted to know just how hot it
gets in the south.
I have been amused at the questions
about insects and malaria. Some peo
ple think flies and mosquitoes abound
in numbers sufficient to take one off
bodily. I've seen them ten times as bad
560 miles farther north, and every one
has heard of or had painful experiences
with the Jersey mosquito. Florida is
a very good state for an all the year
round home. The only fault one could
find with it is the length of the sum
mer; one tires of nine or ten months
summer, but it gives the poor man a
chance to work, the cold often interfer
ing farther north.
Valdosta is a thriving place, and one
is struck by the air of prosperity that
seems to permeate everything. The
stores are thoroughly up-to-date and
there are so many of them. The school
houses are modern and the normal that
is now in course of erection will be
one of the best equipped in the state.
There is where the town and county
show their wisdom. The teachers are
leaving a lasting impression on the
men and women of the future. And if
they are not better educated than some
now drawing teachers' pay. the state
will be compelled to import some. When
one hears teachers saying “1 seen." "he
taken." “she written a letter,” what can
one expect the children to say? One
must not criticise the teachers in a
child's presence or that teacher's in
fluence is spoiled; yet who can let tl»e
children adopt such errors?
Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair and I
went to Mount Zion camp meeting. That
is a splendid location for a camp
ground, beautiful shade, a spring that
would not fail to furnish a multitude
with the bestsort of water, and com
modious houses. There was a line
crowd there Sunday and I am quite sure
they never listened to a more impres
sive sermon. In every crowd, whether

MRS. M. SUMMERS, Dep’t 327, Notre Dame, Ind., U. S. A.
on a camp ground or a political rally,
there are some who hear nothing the
speaker says and let few of those
around them listen, but on this occa
sion I was Impressed by the close at
tention.
The presiding elder. Rev. Mr. Budd,
drew some pictures that will hang on
memory’s wall as long as life lasts. He
said. "Why not call the so-called best
friends or boon companions of a man
to minister to him in his last sickness
and official at the grave?" Imagine a
man who curses and swears and tells
smutty stories being told that death
was near and his saying, ‘'Well, this is
my last chance to hear So and So tell
his latest. Send for the crowd and let
them give me a good send-off." Imagine
"the crowd" going to that dying man
and polluting the very atmosphere wiTa
their oaths and obscenity, the man dy
ing and "the crowd" cursing over pre
paring him for burial and swearing be
cause the coffin was too short. This is
all a vivid picture and one that will
never materialize, for people of >hat
soft are afraid of death and no money
could induce them to see a death, much
less handle a dead body. I must tell
you of the tombstone this preacer said
you of the tombstone this preacher said
he was puzzled a long time for a fit
ting emblem, but finally thought of a
buzzard, a loathsome bird that feasts
on carrion: a bronze buzzard cast hol
low with a head that would allow the
poisonous fumes of sulphur to pass
out of beak and nostrils, and let it
represent the life of such people.
Other vices were as vividly depicted
and the deathbed and burial made as
clear, but I won’t take you through such
scenes. I will only ask you if your time
should come today, or next week, and it
was the custom for one’s associates to
nurse one and officiate at the grave who
would be yours?. Would you be satisfied
to send for the people you see oftenost
and call your friends to smooth your pil
low and hold your hand as the shades of
death blotted out earthly scenes?
Did you ever have the misfortune to
see death overtake a wicked man? I
pray you never may, for the agony of
listening to the wails of such a man will
never leave you. They send not for
their companions in wickedness, nor for
the scoffer who turned the minister’s
; sermon into ridicule, but for the ininis
i ter and church people, and with tears
and lamentation beg for their prayers.
N On Mount Zion camp ground, as every
where else that God’s people meet, Satan
had his emissaries. These devil’s agents,
for that is all that any tempter can- be
called, had their bottles of whisky, and
thought it funny to give boys enough
to make them silly. Some one is always
ready to do the dirty work for their
master, and this occasion was no ex
ception. but there was much good done
there and the tares that the enemy
sowed among the good seed will one day
be consumed.
I have been hearing a good deal about
th* futility of prohibition, but let me
give you some figures from the brewers'
year book. In prohibition states the
whisky drank is an average nf a gallon
and a third per capita. In local option
counties it is three gallons to the per
son. and in the states where there are
no restrictions, where the saloon is ram
pant. the amount goes to twenty-three
gallons per capita. Can’t you see why
the whisky men fight the prohibition
movement and favor local option? Os
course they prefer to sell three gallons
to one. If they were allowed their way.
the saloon would be on every corner.
When they say they sell as much in
Georgia as they ever did, ask them why
they are trying so hard to get it back?
I know some communities are seeing
hard times through blind tigers, and
the women and good men must unite and
annihilate the beasts. Remember that
there was a time when every man was
expected to keep it, but that day is
•past, and so will the day of the so-called
blind tiger. There is so much in the
Bible against the stuff, yet so many read
their Bible in such away that they have
never heard of the denunciation against
"whosoever putteth the bottle to his
neighbor’s lips,” nor the fate of the
drunkard.
Plenty of people sneer at summer
time revivals, but many seed are then
sown that bring forth their fruitage of
forty, sixty and an hundred fold.
Are you doing your part? Are you
letting your light shine or are you liv
ing so that when the summons comes
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1912.
■ For August 25. Luke 4:16-30.
Golden Text: He cams unto his .own, and they that were his own re
ceived him not. John 1:11.
A visit to the old home after an ex
tended absence is an occasion long to
be remembered. How pleasant it is to
greet old friends and acquaintances
again, to visit the old places so full of
associations with the days that are gone,
to live over again in memory of the
dear dead past. There are, ot course,
many occasions for sadness in the mem
ory of those faces lost awhile, but the
gladness is always greater than the sad
ness.
Some such feelings as these must have
filled the heart of Jesus as He went back
to Nazaxeth, where He had been rearea,
even though the time of His absence
had not been long in point of time. So
many events had that it
made the interval seem longer t|ian it
really was. True to His custom He
went to the synagogue on the Sabbath
day. The leader of the synagogue call
ed on Him to read and speak at certain
parts of the service. He recognized
that Jesus had made a reputation as a
teacher, and was anxious to heart Him,
undoubtedly. Jesus took the opportunity,
and having turned to a passage in Isaiah
read the program of Christianity. It
read as follows:
The spirit of Jehovah Is upon Me be
cause He hath anointed me.
To preach good tidings to the poor.
To heal the broken hearted.
To proclaim deliverance to captives and
recovering of sight to the blind.
- To set at liberty them that are bruised.
To proclaim the acceptable year of Je
hovah.
It is no less remarkable that at that
point He stopped and closed the book.
For the very next words read: ‘‘And the
day of vengeance of our God." That
day had not come, has not yet come,
praise God. It is still the day of grace
in which you may accept Christ and
thus make an acceptable offering of
yourself to Jehovah and be accepted by
Him.
WONDERFUL WORDS.
When He had closed the book He be
gan to speak and explain the words of
the prophecy. The substance of what
He said Luke gives us, but it is left
to our imagination to fill in the outlines.
It was all fulfilled in Him, His life. His
words, His works. We should like to
have a stenographic report of that ad
dress, for it produced a marvelous effect
on the congregation. They had been
raised with Him. He had played on their
streets, had romped up and down their
hills, had labored in their m.ust, had
built the furniture that was In some of
tneir homes—they marvelled at His
knowledge, and at His ability to express
Himself.
Their hearts were warmed as He told
the good news to the poor, for most of
them in Nazareth were of those who
have little to make life easy or pleasant;
it was a hard grind all the time with
them, but in Him they would be su
perior to circumstances. There were some
present weighed down with grief over
loved ones lost, or worse still, gone
astray. To them He came with the balm
of comfort, He had come to seek and
to save them that were lost, to win them
away from tin and to a life of power.
Death Itself could lose its sting, for He
had come to overcome death.
There were those in the most terrible

LENDING TO THE LORD.
Dear lioueeludd:
'lhe Y. W. C. A. girl’s letter about Esther,
caused me to think of the letters we used to
hare on uorfavorite characters and 1 began
to wowler wbat had become of some of cue
old writeis. 1 am reading an English history
uow. Some of you tnuy think that’s dry read
ing for August, but I am enjoying It. 1 wish
1 could tell you about it, but there is some
thing else 1 must write about this time.
I went to the moving picture show last night,
a thing I seldom do, and if you could have
seen the beautiful sceuery with tne I would
have been glad, but there is always a part
of the show that makes me blusb to think that
the children of this day must see Minh. 1
must not t>egin finding fault. The ice cream
parlors were crowded from early In the night
until dosing hours. Surely no oue was thinking
Os those that seldom, If ever, get In such gay
crowds, but I couldn’t help thinking of the less
fortunate, and wishing I could do more for
them than I am doing. I’cMibly 1 had a warn
ing of a sad letter that was waiting for me
to open when I reached home.
Let me copy a few lines for surely our
Household will be interested:
“Hear Sister: 1 am writing yon to let .you
know I am sick and need a little help. I need
help to get my medicine. I want you to
write to the Household and tell them I would
appreciate anything they would send me. If
your letter is published please rend it to me.
I hardly get any mall and am so lonely. May
God bless you, an.l may you live a long time
to help others. Your friend. Emily Whitfield.”
You all know Mies Emily, sice lives in n wheel
chair. Ever since I liecame acquainted with
her, Through the Household, I have been writing
to her, and sending her a little help. Some
times I could only enclose n stamp, but she said
that It was a real pleasure to be able to send
an answer my letter. You see she Is not
hard to please. I have heard people say, ‘‘We
have poor houses for people that can’t support
themselves.” The Good Samaritan never said,
‘‘put him In the almshouse.” he said. "Take
care of him. and whatever then spendest more
I will give thee when I return.”
If we expect our reward to come from pay
ing taxes rim! keeping rhe poor, then I fonr
we will never hear those words. "In sa much
no ye have done It unto one of the lenat of
those,” for we complain too much about taxes
being too high.
Now. please don’t say this is an appeal for
help, lust sav, "Te-nel-o-pe has told ns about
one of our Household being sick and wo will
take rare of her. Her address is Finlayson,
Ga.. Miss Emily Whitfield. I sm glad some
of von bnve enjoyed my letters. When the hot
weather la over I will tell you about that his
tory.

MEDITATIONS OF A QUIET HOUR.
My Dear Household: It has been three years
since I visited you, so I’ve decided to again
knock at your door hoping to gain admittance.
Three years, yet it does not seem long; how
fast time flies especially to those who arc on
the shady side of forty.
Today my mind goes back to "home, swee
home,” where eighteen years of married life
have been spent. Leaving our home In good
hands, we moved to a thriving little town on
the A., B. A A., where wc are comfortably
fixed in another home with pleasant surround
ings. My husband and I wanted to give our
children letter church and school advantages,
hence the move.
This year has been one of disasters, ye' it
baa bronght to tie many blessings ns well. The
sinking of the Titanic wns nn awful calamity.
I believe the whole world mourned on account
of It. This disaster will no doubt serve ns a
warning In many ways to nil people. The erase
for fast speed on Innd and sea is simply alarm
ing. Man’s disregard for the Sabbath is an
other awful sign of times and still another
fearful thing Is that so many people are going
wild about pleasure, they are "lovers of pleas
ure more than lovers of God.”
Man feels too secure in bls own strength, and
tn the works and Inventions of his Own hands
and mind. He feels his own Importance too
much and thinks, knows and trusts too little
In the great Heavenly Father, the ruler of thia
world.
‘‘Who plants His footsteps on the sea.
And rides upon the storm.”
Too much preparation for high, fast pleasure
able living and too little preparation fnr death.
"Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye
think not the Son of Man cometh.”
How quickly, when danger come, was the
musle of revelry changed to sacred music, and
God was then remembered In prayer and ex
hortation.
Were there many good people aboard the ship
who nerved God and in these awful moments
helped others? The old time chivalry wns
shown in the hearts of most of the men. want
ing the women and children saved first. When
we face death how Insignificant does creed,
rank, cast or money appear. Some member of
our Household recently asked about J. Frank
bondage, in captivity to sin, slaves of
habit, or appetite, or lust or greed. He
proclaimed deliverance to them. In Him
they might find pardon and find deliver
ance. If they had not been- able to see.
He had come to remove the scales from
their eyes that the light of heaven might
shine into their souls and dispel the
darkness.
There were those who were bruised,
helpless creatures who had gotten into
the clutches of some brute who would
sell their souls for gain. In Christ they
might be set at liberty and they should
be free.
But best of all, this was the day of
their opportunity. Whosoever will may
come, and take of the water of life
freely.
This was the program of Christianity,
and it sums up in Christ Jesus. In Him
any man and every man may find all
that he needs or desires. How is the
church of Christ carrying out His pro
gram? Until recently in a very meager
way, compared to what it might do. It
has preached the gospel, and has allow
ed itself to believe that its full duty had
been performed; but there are still the
broken hearted to be healed, the bruised
to be set at liberty. The church cannot
claim to have followed her Lord in His
program until she has done what she
can to improve the physical, mental, and
social condition of men. She cannot es
cape the truth that a man is not only
soul, but bedy, and mind and social as
well. Christ came to redeem the whole
man, not a part of him merely, even
though that be the most Important part.
As a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ
what are you doing? How are you fol
lowing the program laid down for you?
WONDERFUL UNBELIEF.
The words of Jesus made the people
of Naxareth wonder. They couldn't
comprehend how He could speak so.
Was not this the carpenter? And be
cause they could not get this out of
their minds they could not receive the
depth and the richness of the maaning.
Their unbelief was so great that it
made Him wonder as much as His
words had made them' wonder. Laten in
His ministry He had another experience
that excited wonder in Him. It was the
greatness of the faith of the Roman
centurion. Here His wonder is excited
oy the greatness of their unbelief.
It must have been very great, for it
limited His power. He was able to do
great things with little faith—note His
experience with Jairus, the woman with
the issue of blood, the disciples in the
storm, and many other instances that
might be cited. But here their unbelief
was so great that He could do no
mighty works in their midst. He healed
a few sick folk, but beyond that they
blocked His almighty power.
I am greatly afraid that there are
many today In our churches that have
so great unbelief as to cause Jesus to
wonder and as to limit His power. They
see a great work of grace done in an
individual or a city, and with unholy
conservatism say very piously, "I hope
it will last.’’ God pity their unbelief.
My brother. God can and will honor
every feeble faith. Exercise what you
have. But for heaven’s sake do not
block by your unbelief the onward
progress of the kingdom.
PELHAM BOYS SCOUT
ON BICYCLE TRIP
(Special Dieptch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 21.—Joe Hand and
Hugh Lee McDonald, Jr., two 15-year
old boys of Pelham, arrived in the city
each riding a bicycle. They wore boy
scout suits and each had a box tied
behind the bicycle to carry changes of
clothing. They left Pelhain, 35 miles
from Albany, at 4:30 o’clock. They took
breakfast at Baconton about 7, stopped
there awhile after breakfast and start
ed 'for Albany about' 8. They stopped
again at Blue Spring awhile, and ar
rived here about 11.
They said they were just out for a
ride, expecting to be away from home
about a week, or "until they get tired.”
They may stay in Albany a few days,
and then go either to Americus or to
Sylvester, as the mood "pleases them.
When they get tired of scouting about
on their bicycles, they will go back to
their homes In Pelham. The boys both
belong to prominent Mitchell county
families, and are taking this scout trip
with the consent of their parents.
MILLS ARE TAXED BY
THE GOLDEN RULE
(By Associated Press.)
PASSAIC, N. J., Aug. 21. —The city
commission which went into office here
a year ago has won a handsome profit
for the city by practically permitting
large property owners to tax them
selves. Insisting that the values on the
tax rolls in previous years had been too
low the commissioner this year askeq
the mill owners to furnish inventories
of their own property. In most cases
the owners gave estimates greatly in
advance of the figures at which their
property had been previously assessed.
One company voluntarily raised its as
sessment from 3600,000 to 11,500,000.
The net gain obtained by this method
over the assessment figures of 1911,
was 35,300,000,

WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS
Dear Household: »Vbat do you think of a
man or of men who will deliberately tell false
hoods on a woman or girl? Is there a vice
more contemptible? I think a man who will
do such a thing in more contemptible than a
yellow dog. Y*ou all know of men who have
told slanderous thiugs on girls and wotnen
most of which has been without foundation;
may be the girl was innocently imprudent,
thinking nothing wrong, and the man put a
his own construction on it. the one hl 8 evil
mind Invents. A man who has caused the
wreck of a woman's life and brags about it, Is
lower than any, lie Is a thief and a rascal.
He has stolen a priceless jewel and no return
is possible. Because he is a man the world
doesn’t cast him out as they do a woman, but
in the sight of God he is a loathsome thing
and In the sight of right-minded people he is
an eyesore, nnd think he should be shunned
as a leper. I am sorry for the woman always
and when 1 see her disgusted repentant* then
God claims his own and Christ sakl. "Let
him who is without sin be first to cast a
stone.”
Perhaps I have written strongly on thles
subject, but maybe some guilty one may see
it and know there is onF woman who Is not
afraid to gay just what she thinks of sneh.
Very sincerely,

In its edition of last Sunday the New

The Herald's story makes the point
that Georgia is one of the three south

"The first woman in the United States
to be admitted to the bar of any court

not without a fight to the finish that ths
city dministrtion here saw the bill
providing for the election of the judge
of the police court of Savannah be
come law by the signature of the gov
ernor. When the bill passed both
houses and it was known that the gov
ernor was prepared to sign it, city of
ficials here made an effort to have the
governor veto it. The matter was put
up to Representative Anderson.
The governor, it is understood, would
not consent to oppose the bill except at
the request of a majority of the Chat
ham delegation. Then an exchange of
telegrams occurred. Representative Mc-
Carthy was called upon and urged to
agree with Representative Anderson,
who was making an effort to have the
bill vetoed, but Mr. McCarthy refused
and the bill was signed.
