I do hope that al! who read my an swer to the questions about woman suffrage, or equal suffrage, will read this side of the story. Not for an in stant would I like for any one to hold the impression that the more fact of the oallot being in the hands of women, as well as men. will cure the many ills that now beset the human race. When Napoleon said that France need ed mothers he was thinking of the *rmy and the literal side of the matter. Trday the world needs mothers, women trained In the higher principles of motherhood; women whose chief aim in dfe is to raise their children in the aurture and admonition of the Lord, and .n doing that they also raise sons and laughters who not only rise up and :all them blessed. but are the founda tion stones of our nation. There never was, nor ever will be, a truer saying than the one that teaches us that no nation rises higher than the plane upon which its women stand, or live. Search history as you may, there is not a tribe or' nation that has not been nclted to its best efforts by its women. *nd when the high ideals of the women began to be lowered that marked the nation's retrograde.

Those women were above suspicion and beyond reproach, but with the ad ditions of conquered nations, slaves and too much luxury came a laxity of home discipline, the maternal vigilance was lessened and we know what bechme of the nations that had ruled the world. We will ikip from ancient history to the time of Queen Victoria. All of us have read of the condition of affairs when she. a young girl, was made queen. At that time the fdet that she was a woman was against her. Elisa beth had made her reign notable, but she had scrupled at nothing. There wasn't a commandment in the decalogue she did not break If by so doing she could carry her purpose, but Queen Vic toria was better trained, we see thg mother's influence and as long as his tory is read that noble woman's teach ing will be a help to the world. In such a large family, so constantly in the limelight, there was only one who really gave her real heartache. Be side her influence in her own land • her influence over the nations into which her* children married was wonderful. I remember a picture I saw during the Boer war. It was in Life I think. There was a pie. the typical meat pie that English and Europeans are famil iar with, and a lad was abtftit to help himself, his knife and fork were poised right over it. Queen Victoria, as a grandmother had her hand raised ana was saying, "No. Willie. don't you touch it.” •'Willie” was German, and If you remember, "Willie” did not touch it, although sorely tempted to do so. The late king and queen of Den mark raised a large family and we find them all among the nations just as England's royal family is. They, too. had a home life that was a credit to the nation and set an example that has not been lost sight of by the Dan ish people nor their children now in other lands. To come down to the present time we have only to look at the royal families of Spain. Italy, Norway, Holland, Eng land. to see that the home life, especial ly the association of mother and chil dren is strong and dates from earliest infancy. Motherhood and its obligations means more to these tjueens than it does to many of the women of this land of ours. Sometimes it seemo to me that in their mad rush after happiness, or what ever they may call it many of our wom en have lost their poise and dignity. They have forgotten that they are a part of God's great plan. They seem to have lost sight of the sense of mighty THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, Ga., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1912. Nature's purpose, lost reverence for life and stop at nothing that stands in the way of their happiness. As a writer of this page truthfully says: "Our mother taught us that sweethearts and kisses were not sub jects discussed by real ladies as a pas time.” The idea of marrying "only ft>r love” has bred as much real woe as anything on earth. It is an emotional catchphrase that is used when reason and duty would show the futility of the idea. We talk about "matches,” how many do you see about you? Women rush into matrimony about like young ducks take to water, irrespective of its colon or cleanliness, regardless of the mental, moral or ra cial fitness of the man. The ballot is simply justice, but it is not going to turn the world over, nor really help woman until she secs her responsibility and fearlessly faces* the facts of life. She must learn to discrim inate between instinct and will. Look about you and see the diseased, the de generate that are the result of marriages rushed into upon the spur of the mo ment. Ix>ve, the sort that makes the world go round, must have control, di rection and responsibility as balance wheels. The woman who votes must also be able to educate her sons and her daughters so that each succeeding gen eration will walk more and more in that path that shineth unto the perfect day. Whether she wills it, or not, she has evolution in her hands, ahd the ideas she inculcates will largely influence the world. Her “rights” can be so instilled into her sons that there will be no ques tion about them. Man’s sense of justice will give her the ballot eventually, but in the meantime it is a grievous thing to think of the many so-called mothers, accidental mothers in reality, who are retarding the world’s advance. As I said, education is a necessity, or she cannot be in unison with her divine nature. Any study or line of work that helps her shoulder her responsibility is good. Don’t sneer at college women, think how much a mother needs biology, psychology, economics, anything that will give her a basis for her ideals from which to get and give spiritual direction. These things are not to be studied, or used as men do, but to inculcate normal ideas in her children and keep herself ready to guide them in ways of pleas antness and peace. "But,” Miss Thomas, "where do the unmarried come in?” They have a work that is quite as important as the married womans. There have been unmarried women helping the world along from the ear liest ages. Miriam was quite a factor in the life of Moses and Aaron, and you may be sure that there were many just as helpful, in less conspicuous stations of life. There are Florence Nightengale, Clara Barton and a dozen of more notables among the unmar ried women of our time. The social and economic position of women has so changed that there is no stigma at tached to the unmarried of today. Many married women are so heavily taxed by home duties that it is only the unmarried who can see to the hous ing of the poor, the condition of the children of the slums and the general betterment of conditions social and in dustrial, to say nothing of caring for the homes for the homeless. There was once a time when the un married woman was a sad problem, without funds or a life interest, she gave her time to gossip or ate the bread of dependence, and worked next to the slave. Now she looks about her and if she has a talent and self con fidence, she gets into her rightful groove and makes herself useful and happy, and generally helps others. Some of these days I shall write about the business woman, or of women in busi ness. I suppose you know that there are more than eight millions of us. Please understand me, I am not taking back one word that I said in the pre vious Chat. I am simply telling you that the "milennium” of things mate rial will not come until woman has put her hand to the great plow of destiny and helped uproot many weeds of character and helped to sow the good seeds necessary for a harvest of real work. “Where do the men come in?” Just where God meant for them to be, shoulder to shoulder with the women and each helpmates, not merely so called heads of families. When the women marry only the sort of men that measure up to the stanaard there will not be so many homes with things as unequal as now. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER. Dear Household: The summer is past and autumn is with us. This most un usual year is nearing its end and there are a great many who hope that its suc cessor will not be just such as we have had in this section of the country. The farmers had so much rain that they could hardly fix their land for their crops, then it was so rainy that crops were put in the ground just whenever the rain held up, AU during the word ing season there was an oversupply of rain. August set in dry and cut our crops off about half, and right now in the last days of September, it has rained a regular downfall for two days and nights. We are wondering if we will have the chance to reap what we have sown. As we look out in the cotton fields and see the fleecy staple wet and w’ith dirt beating on it, we wonder if it will ever be the same white and fleecy stuff that it was even two days ago But we can't govern the weather and will not grumble, for we realize that God is better to us than we are to Him. When we ponder over our disobedience to God we are surprised that we succeed in any of our undertakings. The time may come that we won't make any crops. Why. Because we are getting to be too independent. When we go back to God and put our trust in Him then we will see prosperity in every undertaking. My friends, our everyday life is what tells our heavenly Father what we are. Not very long ago I heard a sermon on home life that I wish I could tell you. It was fine. There was something in that sermon to fit every individual lr» that house, and it would fit each indi vidual in Our Household if I were able to tejl you. The first thing in a home must he dis cipline. and the next thing is to have something to do, each individual must have something to occupy bis time. As I read Chat of the 30th, 1 said to myself I want to shake hands with Miss Thom as. Truly there used to be at least one member of a family with an arm, or will, strong enough to keep the small toy in order, but_ such doesn't seem to be the ease now.’Theories are all Vtery fine, but if they do not turn out the finished product they do not really amount to anything, and there certainly is a sorry product turned out when a child is al lowed to do what he wills, as long as he doesn't bother mother. My theory is. keep my boy at home and don't let him bother any other mother. She needs quietude the same as I do and better still, you know what your child is doing if he is at home. A child that wanders from pillow to post is no good. It will learn to pilfer, and to lie. and gossip, and do everything else that is mean. Now, Myrtie, the rust is off my pen. I have answered your call, and hope others may do likewise. I was glad to see you back again. Come oftener. I had the pleasure of being at our family re union and enjoyed it more than I could tell. I hope that we may all live to meet again, for it is a great pleasure to meet at the old home, enjoy the com pany of loved ones, view our old play grounds where we used to have such fine times, and really didn't know w’e were seeing our very best days. I am still your same old Household friend, BUSY BEE. For Oct. 6. Mark 6:45-56. W ' J" Golden Text: “Straightway Jeans spoke unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is X; be not afraid.” The feeding of the 6,000 was at the close of the second year of the public ministry of Jesus. The effect that it had upon the Master Himself was noted in our exposition of the miracle. Not since the very beginning of His ministry had He been so suddenly and sorely attacked by Satan. He had in tended to show them how He cared for them and was willing and able to be the Saviour they needed; however, the people had not seen the spiritual import of it, hut had grasped only the lesser truth that He was the most pow erful leader they had ever knowm, and they were getting ready to take Him ,by force and make Him their King. When Jesus saw in their attitude the sinister steps of Satan. (1 speak it most reverently). He was afraid of Himself. It was a terrific temptation to Him. to get the crown without the cross. He saw also that His disciples were more or less sympathetic with the views of the multitude. so He adopted the only course that was at all wise. He must fight this battle untrammeled by others even though they were His best friends: He must not allow them to be further influ enced by an unthinking crowd. Send ing them in the boat across the lake to Capernaum, He withdrew into the mountainxthat He might be alone witn God, and feet first hold on His purpose for Him away from the temptation. HIS ALL-SEEING EYE It is not, however, the way in which He met temptation that we are consid ering now, so much as the fact that during His own conflict He never for a moment lost sight Os His friends. While He could not take them up into the mountain with Him, since He need ed the solitude with God, yet He did not forget that they were in sore need, and they were constantly before Him. It was 6 oclock or later in the even ing when they left the shore. It was only eight or ten miles across to Ca pernaum, and they were thoroughly fa,- miliar with the lake. It was spring time, and under ordinary circumstances they would easily have made the trip in a couple of hours. But not long after they had started, a sudden storm arose. The wind was right in their teeth, coming down from the snows of Hermon with its icy sharpness. They had made about a third of the distance when it struck them; but in spite of their skill and knowledge of the lake, they could make no further progress. They were put to it to keep the boat from capsizing and to keep her baled out. The rigging had been hauled down, the oars put in their locks, ana while they took turns in rowing, the others kept their buckets busy in their vain attempts to pour' out more water than the angry waves.poured in. While storms come up suddenly on the Sea of Galilee, they are ordinarily short: but this one lasted what seemed to those rugged men an interminable time. It was now after 3 o’clock in the morning and there seemed to be no abatement at all; it was just as terri ble as at the first, and their strength was w'avering. While there is no rec ord of it. I am sure every one of those men wished many a time that night that Jesus was with them.

They did not know it then tnat their long ing for Him was in its essence prayer. Nor did they know that not for a mo ment had He taken His eyes off of them. All the time that He was in the mountain fighting the temptation that Satan put in His way, He had been watching them with that all-seeing eye, that could pierce the darkness and the distance. He had seen their distress: He had seen every bucketful of water they had bal?d out; He had noticed every look of anxiety and perplexity on their faces. Nothing had escaped His watchful eye. even though He was on the land and they from three to three and a half miles out at sea. THEIR EXTREMITY HIS OPPOR TUNITY. Why had He not helped them be fore? Why had He allowed they to toil to suffer the anxiety of uncertainty as to their fate? Why had He not respond ed to their hearts’ longing for His pres ence and help? Mark gives us the clue. They were amazed when He did help them, “for they understood not con cerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.” If their heart had not been hardened they would have understood concerning the loaves; they would have known that Jesus was able and willing to supply every need of theirs; that He would provide for them in the storm as well as when they needed food. They would have recognized Him as one who would be more than a mere king to lead the Jews to victory over their enemy, Rome, but the king of nature and of their spiritual lives as well. They needed the testing which the toiling would bring when the end of it was reached. He watched them until they had reached their extremity. This was His opportunity. Walking upon the sea as though it were solid ground under His feet. He came near to their boat, and made as though He would have gone by. They first saw a speck which grew larger, then took shape as of a man. In the early morning hours, and with the anxious minds they must have had after such a night, the sight was magnified beyond measure. ■ They’ were frightened almost to death: they thought it was a ghost they saw! Now, have a little sympathy for those men! You would have been just as badly frightened: and there’s no fright like it. I remember an experience I had as a boy. There had been talk of ghosts for several days; in the twilight one evening I saw one, I was sure! That it turned out to be nothing but a man carrying on his head some hay which he was holding on with a sheet did not lessen my fear any for a long time. Those men had every right to he frightened until Jesus spoke to them, j His voice. His words, and the assur- : ance which His presence gave them ! were sufficient to have quieted every ; fear and removed every doubt from 1 thei£ minds. Faith and fear cannot exist in the same heart at the same time. Faith begins where fear ends, and fear begins where faith ends. The psalmist expressed this when he said “what time I am afraid I will trust in thee.” Trust drives out te merity. DIFFERENCE HIS PRESENCE MADE. But those men were stubborn fel lows.

As long as Peter kept his eye on Jesus, the water was as firm as a pavement un der his feet, but when he took his eye off of Christ and appreciated the pr?- cariousness of his position, he began to sink, and cried, “Lord, save me.” Again Jesus showed His tenderness in dealing with this poor doubting disci ple, for catching him by the hand and holding him, He walked with him to the boat.

RAILROAD IS SUED TO RECOVER LAND (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) VALDOSTA. Ga., Oct. I.—A rather'un usual suit was filed In the superior court here yesterday involving valuable land in the town of Hahira. The suit is brought by Mrs. W. W. Lawson et al., against the Georgia Southern and !• lor ida railroad ct al., to recover four acres of land in the rear of the depot there, which was deeded to the railroad when it came through there some twenty-odd years ago. The plaintiffs claim that this land was deeded to the road for use of the road as a depot site or for its tracks. The claim is made that the land has been leased for warehouses, cotton gins and an electric plant and other things to private individuals. The value of the land involved in th« suit is about SIO,OOO. The suit promises I to be hard fought on both side.
