TIIE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1913. “In this age of diversified industries, yet an age of specialization, what has Georgia done about her silk raising?” Since this question came to me I’ve been trying to find out something defi nite, and have made the interesting discovery that Savannah was once a silk center. The trusteees of Georgia made among its first rules the one grant ing fif k y acres of land to each man. He was to put the land in good con dition, build a house on it and plant one white mulberry tree on each ten acres. In the minutes of the trustees for the establishment of the colony of 'Georgia is this: “March 3, 1741.—Received from the • custom house a chest of silk imported from Georgia, with the following attes tation: We. whose names are underwrit ten, do hereby attest and certify that -the raw silk contained in the chest herein sent was in our presence put into the same chest by Mary, the wife of Lewis Camuse, after having been first weighed, which amounted to forty- five pounds and two ounces avoirdupois weight; that is to say eight pounds, part thereof had been manufactured and wound off by her in the town of Savannah In the year 1740, and thirty- seven pounds, two ounces, the remaining part thereof had been in like manner wound off by her the present year 1741. And we do further attest and certify that 220 pounds and fourteen ounces weight of cocoons or silk balls were raised in Savannah, in Georgia. The silk worms being fed with the mul berry leaves growing in said county and had been delivered to Mrs. Camuse since April last, in order to enable her to carry on the said manufacture as she has done this present year. “Dated at Savannah, in Georgia, this the tenth day of September, 1741. “WILLIAM RUSSELL, “FRANCIS HARRIS, “Accomptants; “WILLIAM STEPHENS, "Secretary; “THOMAS JONES, “Bailiff of Savannah.” For eight or ten years after this the trustees Insisted on the cultivation of the mulberry trees and production of silk, but the industry did not flourish. The Salzburgers at Ebenezer produced one- half of the silk of the colony. Many farmers tried indigo and grapes. Their were many exeriments, for the population by that time had grown to at least 1,500. From time to time there have been efforts made to make the silk industry one of profit to the women of Georgia, but they do not seem to take to it. Up near Tallulah there was a successful demonstration of silk raising not many years ago I had samples of the silk, and if it had been continued I believe there would have been a fortune in it while the craze for pongee and shantung possessed the women. But it takes money, patience. and optimism to make a success of a- new venture, which these promoters of the silk industry did not seem to have. At all events, they did not want to spend any more money, time or energy on the venture. I hope that some of the readers of this page will find time to write me of this line of work if it is still going on. And wouldn’t it be interesting to get a letter from some of the descendants of those sturdy pioneers who. a hundred and sev enty-two years ago, raised mulberry trees, fed silk worms and sent the results of their labors to the mother country? Jn these days almost anyone can wear a silk dress, it is not the evi dence of gentility that it once was. The negro girl who right now is washing my clothes wore a silk dress when she came for them. Nor is the most of the silk that is bought in America worth very much. There are some reputable firms that will make good a piece of silk that drops to pieces or splits in an unreasonably short time. But you may be sufe that they charge more than 39 cents a yard for such material. When I hear people railing at shod dy goods and the general state of things, I feel like saying, “You have helped bring on this state of affairs. Most of the merchants carry the line of goods that their customers demand and the idea that fine (?) feathers make fine oirds drives many a wopian to ruin or her husband to stealing. There is no difference between the city church and the one ten miles from town when it comes to extravagance and false pride. Both have their good people and both have the other sort. Do not misunderstand me. I like to see and wear pretty clothes, but above all things, I value a good name and a , reputation for honesty. I heard a mail i say that he was tempted to move his seat in church because he sat behind a mother arid two girls who owed him six months’- grocery bill and were robed in the season’s latest finery. Remember that “False honor, like a comet, blazes broad. But blazes for extinction.” Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. FOR MADAME. Dear Miss Thomas: My father’s family were from England, and mother made the nicest omelette I‘ ever tasted. Somehow, I lost the knack, got mixed with the crowd who used flour and milk—to cover stale eggs, I suspect— and I only found the old, true omelette last week, and I am going to put It in Our House hold, where it will do most good. ENGLISH OMELETTE—Beat the^ whites of the eggs until they will stick to the dish when it is turned over. Add the beaten yolks, salt and pepper and turn the mixture into a spider in which there is a tablespoonful of melted butter, or more if a large omelette. Place the frying pan on an asbestos mat if you have one; if not, put on tlie back of the stove, where the mixture can heat gradually, and not scorch. Have a pan deep enough to let the omelette ride. When nearly heated through, ex cept perhaps an inch of foamy white, fold and put on / plate. The edge will have an outline of soft foam to show. Crisp bacon garnished with parsley may be served as a dainty border, and makes an appetizing dish. When serving, cut straight across and let some of the foam be oh top of each portion. CHEESE SOUFFLE—Melt three level teat spoonfuls of blitter, add six level tablespoon fuls of flour, stir together until smooth, add one and a third cupfuls of milk and stir over the fire until the mixture is thick and creamy: then add o half teaspoonful of salt and an eighth teaspoonful of pepper (paprika if you have itl and one and a half cupfuls of cheese, cut fine or grated. Stir briskly until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Take from the fire and when cool add the yolks of four eggs, not beaten, and mix all together. Then fold in carefully the stiffly beaten whites and pour the mixture into a well-buttered bak ing dish. Bake in a moderate oven thirty-five minutes, serve the minute it is done, or it will fail. RICE PUDDING—One quart of milk, half a cupful of rice, well washed. Put the rice and milk in an earthen baking dish and add a lump of butter almost the size of an egg: salt to taste and bake for an hour in a slow oven; stir in the crust two or three times, as this makes it richer. BAKED BANANAS—Select the red bananas if 7 he tvening Story Mrs. Jennings Blue Hour iir.ghi. r.u i i>> W vV ••i'll' i Mrs. Jennings’ sunbonnet, . which j usually rested rather rakishly on the j bauk of her head, was pulled down low | on the broad forehad as she worked in I her garden, as though to screen from j passersby the fact that the well-known Mrs. Jennings’ optimistic smile was missing, and that between the straight dark brows appeared the fingerprints of worry.

But when one ‘has been told that a new worry must be taken into one’s life in the form of an invalid brother- in-law, one’s skyline is apt to be blurred by a dark cloud that nothing can pierce. She worked away with a very storm of rebellion raging in her heart as she thought of the letter her husband had given her at lunch time from the brother in the city who had done so well and had so much, wherein he made brutally plain that it was her hus band’s turn to care for the invalid brother; and. as memory insister upon recalling the bitter invectives she had heaped upon the name of the city brother, hrr angry demand that Mr Jennings write him at once and show him that the greater duty lay with a childless man of comparative wealth, her anger was untinged with the slight est compunction. She ruthlessly brushed aside the thought of her husband’s fear of how unpleasant it might be in the city for the invalid who had ever been his favorite brother, and she quickly overshadowed the feeling that came to her of the probability of the shortness of the time the invalid would be a charge upon her or anybody, by forcing into the foreground of her thoughts the additional work she had taken upon herself in view of the college education Mr. Jennings and she were bound clever, studious Tei should have. Work that was keeping her sho ilder to the wh<jel ceaselesly and preventing her from entering into any of tlie outside pleas ures of her idolied boys. As she moved toward the parsley bed it was the latter fact which suddenly became 'paramount. Ted’s words as he and Phil had scuttled to the ball game after lunch were in her ears: ‘Mrs. Trent says, mother, that you’re the greatest stick-at-hoine! And you know you really haven’t been at a game this year. Mrs. Trent’s just batty over base ball, and hasn t missed a game this season. She’s the dandiest rooter!” Of course she had heard all that be fore. and been quietly amused, but be fore her was the picture of Mrs. Trent’s uncared for home, her ragged boys hanging about the Jennings' house at luncheon and dinner. time through the holidays, with the unvarying, “M^a says we can stay if we’re ast,” expression on their dirty little faces. Heretofore she had not given Ted's enth isiasm a sec ond thought, but today, when it had come on top of her husband’s announce ment, it had left a little hurt. Mrs. Trent’s sporting proclivities were ap plauded, while her own sacrifices, her hard work of that summer—and seven teen-year-old Ted was of an.age to real ize just what she was doing for him— went unnoticed. She did not go about her customary duties when she had the parsley and lettuce ready for Brown’s grocery. She sat on the side veranda that commanded a view of the distant ball field. and looked long and steadily at the flying figures in the much talked of game be tween the Badgers, of which Teddy was captain, and a team from a nearby town. All along she had told hersel:' that It was a game she would see without a doubt, but the “feat” she had been un- abl# to accomplish on account of her biggest order of the season from Mrs. Darrel, the great lady of the town, who was giving a reception in the evening and wanted Mrs. Jennings’ choicest roses 'picked not before 3 o’clock and de livered not later than 5 . Unfortunately Mrs. Jennings was delivery boy as well as florist, hence the reason of "tier non- appearance at the big game of the sea son. And she would not be missed, she told herself, because she knew about as much about baseball as one of her fragrant roses, and Mrs. Trent, of course, was there to do such “dandy footing” for the Badgers. Mutiny blazed in her quiet eves as they followed *he players. Something there was within her crying cease lessly that her efforts were not appre ciated. and it was not too late, the in sistent something whiskered, to brink- a new order of things into her life Let the college fund take care of it self or leave it to father. She would give up the garden for profit; she would become typical fan converse as aptly on the subject r baseball as di Mrs. Trent; she would see to it tha‘ their 6 o’c dinners were taken in the dingy restaurant d own on Main street where the Trents had more than half their meals; and, above all. nothing would induce her to accep* the charge her husband would put upon her. The clock striking 3 sent her hur rying to her rose .bushes. H®** figure breathed grim determination as she carried her basket of roses into the kitchen. In the center of the room she paused.

Suddenly as she surveyed it with a little catch in her throat she sat down by the spot less table; and, just as she had stared at the ball field, so r ow her glance, going across her vegetable garden, fixed Uself on the untidy Trent yard adjoining. She could see the clutter* back stop and the kitchen window deplorably in need of care, and her mind’s eye went farther and saw what lay behind the window—a kitchen that to her had ever been a nightmare. 1'or many moments she sat, brood ing. planning. Mrs. Jennings seemed to bfc a Mrs. Somebody Klse, looking into the Jennings’, home that had become a second Trent home, bleak, utterly un homelike, and she was seeing Ted and Phil evolve into objects of neighbor hood consideration.

Ex. 20: 12-21. ^.^^.DEN TEXT: “Thou shalt love the I*ord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. Duke 10:27. You will remember that last week we studied the first table of the law—the first four commandments w^iich treat of our # relationship to God. We learned that He must be supreme in our lives, that our worship of Him must be spir itual, that reverence must be shown fLJs .lame, and that by a proper regard for His day we must recognize His ownership of all of our time. We learned that it if* utterly impossible ..or us by ourselves to keep these laws, out that by Christ’s love in our hearts .ve might love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind, and thus keep -he law. for love is the fulfilling of the law. Today we are to study the second .aoie oi tne law wnich contains God’s plan for us so far as our relationship ~o our fellow men is concerned. If we malyze them as we have tlie first four commandments we will find that after God is placed our parents, that they ire placed higher than the rest of our fellow men, and that in a way the rev- jiexice Wi.ich is due them by us borders that by which we should remember God’s day and hallow His name. The sixth and seventh commandments deal with our relationship to the bodies of our fellow men; the eighth with our re lationship to His property; the ninth with our relationship to His personali ty; and the tenth is all inclusive. A further analysis of the first table of the law will show that at the basis of our dealings is our thought of Him, then our words concerning Him, and then our deeds. With reference to the second table, (leaving out the fifth commandment which bears an interim- mediate relationship), the order is re- to go along being an ordinary, every day wife ana motner, making sacrifices and doing my duty even if appreciation never comes my way.” Later, when the boys rushed in tired but triumphant, and father came along, with the dispirited look that had lain in his eyes when he went away at noon time deepened a thousandfold, the Jen nings family had never sat down to a more tempting dinner than the one mother declared ready as the clock struck 6; and mother’s radiant smile was never more pronounced than when she listened to Ted’s glowing account of the game. She had had her blue hour and she had put it away from her and could smile sweetly, sympathetically, into father's wondering eyes. Strange to relate, Ted seemed to have forgotten all about Mrs. Trent, and it was not until he came up to her when she washed the dishes after sending father to the writing desk with a happy smile on his face, that the “good sport” was mentioned. Then to Mrs. Jennings’ everlasting amazement, came a touch of the appreciation she longed for. “Mother,” Ted said, lounging beside her. “that certainly was the dandiest dinner. And it was beastly hot cook ing. wasn’t it? You're always work ing for us, aren’t you?” “But I’m going to stop, Ted. and be come a baseball—fan. isn’t it?” “You! Not on your life! I wouldn’t have you like Mrs. Trent, mother, for all the forld.’ Ted’s tone was inef- PARIS.—The majority of the buyers fably scornful. “Why. the Trent kids only see a decent meal when they j come here. Jimmy said the other day that he’d give a farm if his mother could make a meat pie like yours. You know the boys all call the Trents the ‘can family.’ because Mrs. Trent buys canned soups and canned meats . and canned pretty near everything. I guess. Oh, mother, dear, you're so dif ferent from that kind of a mother!” Mother found it necessary just then to fuss about the pantry. When she came back to the kitchen Ted was standing with father ori the veranda, looking out on mother’s wonderful gar den. so mother’s wet eyes went un- 1 noticed. “Well,” she said softly, “for one blue hour this a'ternon a certain Mrs. j Jennings was pretty much of a goose.” i She flashed a happy smile at Ted as ; he glanced back at her. “Bless his heart-—the ‘dandiest* din ner!’ ” Her head went up proudly. “Guess there are more ways than one. of being a ‘good sport. Mrs. Jennings.” | -Then she went out to'father and Ted. versed: our deeds, our words and our thoughts. And when we think the mat ter over carefully we can appreciate very ^keenly the absolute truth of Christ’s summary of these command ments. We could, not have a thought about God, nor speak the words about God, nor do the deeds for God that we should unless we love Him as ourselevs. Neither can we do the deeds by our fellow men, nor speak the words about Him, nor think toward Him as we should, unless welove Him as ourselves. LOVE AS SELF. Let us look closely into each of these commandments which constituted the second table of the law and deal with our relai onship to our fellow-man: “Honor thy father and thy mother.” This commandment carries a corollary, that father and mother should so live that they may deserve the honor. How can we honor our fathers and our moth ers? When we are small, best, by per fect, implicit and immediate obedience; and this carries with it a great deal more than would appear at first sight, on the surface. One of the faults of our present time is the tendency of children tc talk back to their parents; to argue with them when a command has been given; to obey in a sulky manner; to be dilatory. In every one of these in stances the fifth commandment has been broken and the promise of a long life has been forfeited. Think this through carefully; immediate and implicit obedi ence! A young man or a young girl in the teen age dishonors the parents by his or her attitude, in thinking the pa rent an “old foggy” and a “back num ber.” May God forgive every one of us for our sins in that respect, at that age, and help those who still enjoy the bless edness of having their father or mother living to give them the honor which is due them, and which borders very close ly to that which is due to God, since they occu # py the position of vice regent. The sixth and seventh commandments: “Thou shalt not kill;” “Thou shalt not commit adultery”—these deal with our relationship to the bodies of our fellow- men. No finer comment can be made upon them than the interpretation which Jesus Himself gave to them, by means of which He showed that the deed was but the expression of the desire, and the desire was just as culpable as the deed. The young men of our cities and the young women are being used largely as the tools of the devil to break this law which is the very foundation of society and home life of our own nation. They are doing this by their modes of dress, by methods of amusement, and by gen eral looseness of manner one toward the other, ;Which has been growing rapidly In the last decade. God gave us this law because He knew the keeping of it was the founda tion of happiness. May God pity the way w^e are drifting away from Him. The eighth: “Thou shalt not steal.” There are a gopd many thieves who would not recognize themselves if called such: one gets on a crowded street car, the conductor in his confusion and de sire to keep the schedule, overlooks hin as he is collecting fares; he gets oh the fear at his destination with his nicke’ still in his pocket. Who is the loser', is he not the greatest loser? So man? people have been dishonest in this waj that the Pay-as-you-enter car has be come a necessity from the standpoint of the company. Here is a customer whe goes into a store thinking he is dealing with an honest merchant: the instruc tions to the clerk are that “ne should not sell below a certain price,” but that he may get as much more as he can and divide the excess with the house. Is that honest? Here is a case in court: the lawyer^ agree u*pon a fixed sum, with the consent of the court; the cred itor who has furnished the goods gets nothing or only an infinitesimal amount. Is this honest? We might multiply in stances—remember what G^d says. “Thou shalt not steal.” The ninth commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh bor,” referred originally «to lying in court. It is much more inclusive than that; it includes that bit of gossip which is such a sweet morsel tinder your tongue; It includes the suggestive shrug of the shoulders; it also demands the w’hole truth, and nothing but the truth, alxiut your neighbor. It also demands no ill words about him, and the exercise of the same mercy as you would have yourself if you were placed in his cir cumstances. The tenth commandment covers the most blighting sin of our modern life, covetousness. If is a sin which is con demned most severely in the Scripture. God classifies it along with murder, l>ing and idolatry; and one who is guilty of it is thereby shut out of the blessings of heaven. What is it? It is some imes called shrewd trading today; it is com mended by others under the name of a saving man—It shows itself as a hydra headed monster. It is an inordinate de sire to have ^I'hat your neighbor has, whether that be money, or position, or reputation or possession. Think it care fully through your own life. Maybe, like the rich young ruler and like Paul, you could measure up to the other nine commandments and find yourself guilt less, and then be guilty in this respect; and James says “whoever offendeth in one point is guilty of all.” Again, we must come to the conclusion we came to last week, that of ourselves we are not able to fulfill the demands of God’s law for us in order that He might make us a peculiar treasure, a kingdom of priests, and an holy na'ion. But again we can thank God that there is a way by which we can fulfill these de mands of His. by having in our hearts that love of (God that is shed abroad through the Holy Ghost which Is given to us, so that as we identify ourselves with Christ, and He lives His life in us, we may keep these laws and be accepta ble in God’s sight. When God uttered these words the peo ple trembled and drew away from the Mount, but Moses drew near. As we contemplate the terrors of Sinai, as wo recognize how utterly unable we are to meet God’s demands for ourselves, we can well appreciate how the people felt. But Moses’ way we should emulate. Let us draw nigh as he did, and recognize that we have access to God in Jesus Christ, the beloved Son, w!k> loved us and gave Himself for us, that He might keep the law for us, and that we might be justified in Kim.
