suffrage, or equal suffrage, will read
this side of the story. Not for an in

the impression that the more fact of the

well as men. will cure the many ills
that now beset the human race.
When Napoleon said that France need

Trday the world needs mothers, women

motherhood; women whose chief aim in

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

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

and the very food they ate.
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.

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 must
have remembered that only i short time

before that He had been in such a
storm with them, asleep in the boat,
and had quieted it by His words. 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.

has left us indisputable evidence as to
the truth of every statement. With
out it we might have thought them
credulous men. and have not been sure
of the truth of their record. Peter was
no more dubious than the rest, but
more outspoken. “Lord, if etc.” That

water was as firm as a pavement un

off of Christ and appreciated the pr?-

sink, and cried, “Lord, save me.”
Again Jesus showed His tenderness in
dealing with this poor doubting disci

It was not long now before the rest
of the distance was covered,. and they
were safe on land again. There was
all the difference in the world in hav

ing Him. It htfd taken them from early
in the evening until early morning
hours to go three miles without

to go the other seven miles with Him.
Whether He is visible with you or

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.
