CHAT. “Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods, And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt, And night by night the monitory blast Wails in the keyhole, telling how it passed O’er empty fields, or upland solitudes. Or grim wide wave; and now the power is felt Of melancholy, tender in its moods Than any joy indulgent summer dealt.” This the 29th of November sees, me- thinks, the end of Indian summer. Never within my memory have we had so glo rious an autumn. An early snow put a stop to the growth of the forest green and hastened the changes from summer rather shabby old clothes to the bright and varied garb of autumn. The snow seemed more like a skilled alchemist than a ruthless destroyer for the leaves did not begin to fall until last week.

That side, the happier side, is so much in the majority, however, that I am not sure there is any use calling on them for testimony. There can be no fixed rules made for any class of people; in one instance the husband is in the wrong and in the next perhaps it is the wife. I must say, however, that I believe the world is doing a better part by its moral ob ligations.

A lire is now kindled on my hearth thai 1 Its a P u >’ that there are such cases will most probably be kept up till far 08 some chronicled, but there have also Get a mental view of the scene. In the valley of the Jordan, with its lux uriant harvest ready for use, is en camped the people of Israel, 3,000,000 strong. They have just experienced another marvelous evidence of God’s bower and blessing. The Jordan is behind ;hem, but Jericho is in front of them, and Jericho is the key to the conquest of Canaan, for it stands be tween them and the two passes through the mountains to. the rest of the land. Over there they have set up a monu ment made of twelve stones. These have been brought from the bed of the river where the priests stood bearing aloft the ark while the people passed over. They are intended to provoke inquiry, that they may testify for years to come concerning Jehovah’s marvelous dealings with them. The city of Jericho is besieged. Guards protect the gates and challenge every man who would leave or enter. The people are in a panic because of the Israelites on the outside, and espe cially because of the strange stories they have heard of what their God had done for them. No man is allowed to leave or enter. PREPARATION. But let us. turn to the camp of Israel again. The forty years of journeying had been the cause of their neglect of the rite of circumcision. Those who had left Egypt were dead; those who sured now, because he had surrendered to Him, and placed himself under His leadership. So will everyone else's who does what Joshua did then. THE ATTACK. After the command to Joshua that he take off his shoes, since the place was then .made holy by the presence of the Great commander, the latter made known to Joshua His plan of attack; for it was under His unseen leadership that the city was to be sieged and taken. He directed that the ark be carried around the walls of the city once a day for six days, and seven times on the seventh day. It was to be preceded by the priests blowing continuously on their trumpets, and accompanied by the peo ple in absolute silence. Not a word was to be spoken by them while marching about the city. After the last circuit, at the command of Joshua, the people should shout with a great shout, and the walls would fall down flat. They were then to go in and take the city, burning it with fire, destroying all of its inhab itants except Rahab and her family; but all of the spoil was to be devoted to God, since it was under His leadership that the victory was to be won. At Joshua’s bidding next day the peo ple obeyed. That was a strange sight. Priests leading, blowing monotonously on GOLDEN EAGLE BUGGY! woM /Arrow ; he-jUlf uul Ihe Middlemen!

One more month and this year will all be gone. One month more and there will only be memories of 1913.

He reads the heart and knows exactly all about it. The clock strikes 9. Something takes my mind away from America, as I counted the strokes my thoughts flew across the ocean and I remembered that as this Saturday closes one begins there. Many times during the six years I was there the thought of the prayers said, as this or that Christian retired, for the work and workers there gave me courage as I began my day’s work. Prayer creates an atmosphere that Satan cannot pierce. Distance does not affect it; neither does times nor sea sons. Have faith, continue to pray and in the new year that is almost upon us may you find the desire of your heart granted, or learn that our Father hath even better things for us than those of which we dreamed. Faithfully 3'ours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. AFTER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY Dear .Miss Thomas: For a long, long time I have been wanting to write to our Household, but just could not find time until Evelyn Pare threw that bomb into our midst and slirred up “the old maid teachers.” Now let those who “glory in a row sit up and take notice!” If that feeling- of utter loneliness and des pondency comes from the fact that she has never taken a man Into partnership I would ad vise Evelyn to marry the first “old bahlhead’’ that comes along and “live happy ever after wards”—if she can. If It comes from sordid ambition and lack of personal interest In the children whose destiny she Is helping to shape, she would better either follow Rural Teacher’s prescription of “quit the patch” for more at tractive pastures. If there is discouragement because , we cannot see the fruits of our labors, “let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”—Gal. vi:9. In the busy lives of some old maid teachers, one of the greatest books is those hours of soil tude which seem so irksome to Evelyn Dare. \V e need some time apart for meditation and communion with Him who is the giver and preserver of life, and the source of our strength, both physical and spiritual. “How one may make life worth while after ten years teaching” depends upon one’s phvsl cal. intellectual and spiritual make-up as well as environments; but this would apply to others as well' as the old maid teacher. Though we may fall far short of the Ideal, If we pass through this world without making our lives worth while to some of God’s creatures, we Radiy mar His plans. Whether we have done well or ill in the past there is one old maid teacher who, after a quarter of a century’s service still looks to the future, expecting her last days to be her best. Sincerely.

Dept. B, Memphis, Tenn., or Dept. B., | WHAT A SOUTH GEORGIA GIRL THINK8 Dear Miss Thomas: Reading Mrs. Wiggins’ letter about widowers makes me want to say a few words. It Seems to me that there is no class of men that need wives more than widowers (a good Christian man that loved bis wife) with children. There are homes whore husband and wife live hapnlly—where both are Christians—and are training their ehildren while small to be obedient, loving and kind. When death enters such a home and takes a good wife and mother, the husband needs a wife even more than he did at first, or so it seems to me. It is a mistaken idea that “most anybody is good enough for a widower." He needs the very best of women, therefore he ought to be very careful about the kind of woman he falls in love with. ’Tis then he needs to “train his eves to serve him instead of serv ing his eyes.’’ Tri the first place he needs a woman that loves children; one that thinks the best is | none too good for a child: one that is a good j reader, for children should be read to while small and taught to cultivate a taste for good literature. Tittle boys and girls need a wom an’s love and training as much ns they need a father’s love and care, and then little girls ought to be taught to mend their garments and as they grow oldpr to sew and do house v O' k even if they are able to live without work. A widower needs a woman that practices economy, and last, but not least, one that Is of good character and free from jealousy. Not only widowers, but bachelors and young men oneht to be careful about the kind of girl they fall In love with, or so thinks this SODTH GEORGIA GIRL. BOTH JfiL GIVEN Parker 7 !"

AN HONEST CONFESSION I have been a country school teacher, and have now reached the goal of my ambition as a teacher—a goal toward which I looked long ingly a few years ago when T was walking along the country road on my way to the little old school house or sitting alone in my room ^t night, seeking companionship In books or in letters to my distant friends. I thought flie.n that if I could over obtain •> position In a college I would be settled for life and would the perfectly happy. That wish has been fulfilled and I now occupy the chair of English In a ffirW college. But T am no more contented thadf I ^as in my country school. Teaching is a noble work: but T have found in my years of experience that it does not com- have no lodely Saturdays or Sandays—when neglected. This was the sign of the covenant with God, and before they could go farther the covenant must be sealed in them. This was done—and the first step thus taken that would lead to victory. Then the next was taken. They ate the passover on the 14th day of the first month—four days after their entry into the land—thus- obeying the com mand of God. Strange to say—yet it is not strange—-the manna ceased then, and the people ate of the fruit of the land, which was all ready and waiting for them. Thus their first steps toward the conquest of Canaan were religious ob servances. They made themselves ready by making themselves right with God. This is the greatest lesson any one can learn. The first step in any life of victory is to make peace with God. The victory is then assured, be cause then God becomes our ally. Joshua's next step was to recon noitre. But it was more than that. It was the final step in his preparation for conquest and victory. Let us see what that was. One day (I think it was toward dusk when he might get nearer the city without being seen), he went out to take a last look at the city with a view to completing the details of his attack. Suddenly, as if stepping out from some hidden spot, he was confront ed by a soldier with his sword drawn. Such an incident might have so startled anyone else than a seasoned soldier, such as Joshua was. that he would have turned and fled. But Joshua stood firm, drew his sword in defense and hailed his opponent: “Art thou for us or for our adversaries?” The reply he received was startling and significant. “Nay; but as captain of the host of Jehovah am I now come.” Not as captain of the army of Israel, notice, but as captain of the host of Jehovah, with its legions of angels and heavenly beings. Joshua fell on his face and worship ped, and said, “What saith my Lord was. spoken. No sound was heard but the monotone of the trumpets and the tramp, tramp, tramp of thousands ot feet. The inhabitants of Jericho were surprised. The first day they didn’t know what was coming. They were ready to resist at any moment that an attack might be made. The 'second day they were more surprised; they were not used to such warfare. The third day, they began to ridicule it; and I imagine that the fourth, fifth and sixth days were sore trials to the Israelitish war riors who would have much preferred hurling a javelin at some fellows on the walls who were boldly defying them ana taunting them for such methods. While on the seventh day, the trials of the Is raelites to keep their tongues was in creasingly greater, as they marched ana marched, and marched. This, however, made their victory all the easie'r in the end; for when the final circuit had been completed and Joshua gave the command to shout, they shouted with a vengeance born of seven days of pent-up silence. The sound and the falling of the walls so surpris ed the Jerichoites, and the relaxation into wnicty they had allowed themselves to get, made them an easy prey to the vigorous attack of the Israelites. It was so sudden and so severe that the people were not able to resist it, and fell be fore Israel that day in a great slaugh ter. Only Rahab and her family were saved. As Gentiles they were kept without the camp of Israel at first; but when, they acknowledged allegiance to the God of Israel they were brought into the camp as members of the house hold of God. Ilahab herself was sig nally honored in that through marriage she become one of the ancestresses' of the great Messiah, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The spoil was devoted to the Lord, since the victory was His; all except a little money and a Babylonish gar ment which Ochan coveted to his own destruction and to that of his family. T,. , n,, i .

The occur- Who was thjs Man to whom Joshua ! fence of an earthquake? I don t knov . surrendered so willingly? He was not an angel, for He allowed Joshua to worship Him: on several other occasions when heavenly visitors had spoken with men. they prohibited worship from men. But this Man allowed Joshua to worship Him. Who was He, therefore? None oth er than God Himself. He had assumed the form of man for the time being in order to help man. He was the same who in later years, to deliver this same people. Israel, from a greater bondage, and to lead them into the riches of a greater inheritance, came again in the form of man, and lived among them as one of them, bearing their burdens, sharing their sorrows, healing their diseases, feeding their hungry ones, and finally giving up His life that they might have eternal life. The Man to whom Joshua surrendered was Jesus, the Son of God, the Captain of the host of Jehovah. Joshua’s success was as- pletely satisfy a woman. Evan now. wlieo I every minute of my time outside of class hours is occupied in preparing m work or in looking after the girls and performins little offices of kindness for them—even with my hands, my mind and my heart so full, there is a feeling of insufficiency. The true woman can never feci wholly satisfied in working for other wom en’s children when she should he rearing her own. Woman was intended for motherhood; that is what God put her into the world for: that is her field exclusively. God has made her His co-worker In the making and molding of human life and character, and there Is no grander work in all the world than this. Efficient motherhood would solve all the social problems of the world by Improving the human race. But the women best suited for motherhood can seldom find the right mate, and must, therefore, turn aside from their destiny and labor In other fields. And they are not bappjy there, because they wore made for something else. Now I have been thinking lately that perhaps a woman can be a happy and efficient mother without being n happy wife: and I. for one, have half a mind to try it. I hav P almost de cided to accept “the wrong man.” knowing that he is niv inferior, that lie will not make a good husband, and that 1 shall be unhappily married if wifehood were all. Very few women ever find the ideal mate they dream of. Men are such impossible crea tures! Of the many offers of marriage that, the average woman receives, there are few that do not inspire a feeling of disgust, or at least of extreme repugnance. But rather than live without fulfilling her destiny, I believe that It is better for a woman to mnrrv the wrong man. provided she can respect him and love him “With ’all love except ihe love Of man and woman when they live their best.” Thcsp views, may seem radical, but they are my honest convictions after five years of teach ing school. Sincerely. JANE SMITH. their trumpets, armed men following, the! southern part of Alabama made by ark borne by the priests, the rest of the j Miss Lena Blease, a cousin of Governor Cole L. Blease, when she snatched her son from her former husband as the lit tle fellow was going to school, placed him in a racing car and a wild run across cauntry followed. Two days were spent in the country hiding among friends and the young mother then motored with her son to Montgomery, caught a train through Atlanta, and rushed for pro tection to her cousin, Governor Blease, who was in Anderson on Saturday. De tectives and police officials who had been asked by the father to recapture his boy were successfully eluded by the young mother and she is now at her home in Batesburg, S. C., under the protection of her cousin, the governor. Miss Lena Blease was born and reared at Batesburg, near Columbia-. Because, It is said, her father was making ready to send her to school when fifteen years of age against her will she ran away and married L. B. Hartley, a man many years her senior. “I didn’t love him, I simply didn’t want to go to school. But twenty minutes after the ceremony I knew what I had done and that day 1 will never forget.” said the former Mrs. Hartley as she related the story last night coming to Columbia on the train. THE MOTHER’S STORY. The story as told by the young mother is of absorbing interest. Soon after the separation she says Hartley took the two boys and went to Alabama to live. The mother says that she spent two years finding where her divorced husband was living and finally located him in the little town of Samson, about 100 miles south of Montgomery, on the L. & N. railroad. “KIDNAPING” OF SON. On last Monday she went to Elba and early in the morning drove across coun try to Samson in a racing machine. As the children were gathering for school she noticed her older son, Julian, anct called him to her car. When he came up she pulled him In, turned the car around and raced for Elba, saying that she made the thirty-five miles in thirty minutes and riding so fast that she lost her hat. For two days she hid in the country with friends and on Wednesday motored to Montgomery where she and the boy caught a train for Atlanta. She says that her former husband had asked the police of nearby cities to be on the lookout for her and for fear of being arrested she would not leave the train in Atlanta, but by working a ruse on an unsuspecting Pullman porter she remained in a sleeper which was hooked on to a train for Greenville, S. C., where she arrived with the boy safely on Fri day morning. HELPED BY GOVERNOR. In Greenville she and her boy went to the home of friends. Suspecting that she was being watched she eluded detectives and went over to Anderson, where her cousin. Governor Blease, was visiting. Once there she got under his protection and remained all of yesterday In seclu sion. The boy was taken in an automo bile with Governor Blease, who caught the train at Honea Path where he went to visit Representative J. W. Ashley after his Anderson speech. The mother joined the party at Belton and together they came on to Columbia and early in the morning went on to her home at Batesburg, where her father and mother, Magistrate and Mrs. A. H. Blease, re side. Safe in South Carolina the mother say* Niat she will never part with her boy again. “They will never take him from me,” she said. GEORGIA AND ALABAMA COTTON GIVEN PRAISE DALTON, Ga., Dec. 4.—North Georgia and north Alabama have the best grade of cotton to be found In the country this year, according to C. W. Smith, Jr., a cotton buyer, who came here in an effort to secure cotton for lace and thread manufactories of Europe. Ac cording to cotton men, the reason for this is that the July crop was secured. Another matter which adds to its gen eral excellence is the careful picking’of white laborers, who keep out the leaves and trash. Mr. Smith had little luck here, for, although he wanted to pay a half-cent premium on the bales, he could secure only a few, as the mills have bought it up, owing to the high price which has prevailed and the unusually early marketing season here. He made a trip to the Crown Cotton mills and found 9,000 excellent bales, Which he couldn’t buy. Resinol j build. What threw down the walls?
