The Old Sun Will
• Still Shine, and Old
Faith Still Soothe
By Bishop W. A. Candler
The jropajration of Christianity rests
on the pervasive power which it pos
sesses on account of its adaptation to
human needs. This is the implication
pf the parable in which Jesus said. “The
Kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,
which a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened.*' (Matthew xiii:33.)
Leaven hidden in three measures of
sand or sawdutot would not leaven the
whole. On the contrary, it would be
spoiled and its leavenins quality de
stroyed. It has no adaptation to sand or
sawdust: but it has such a power when
placed in meal, so that it converts the
whole mass into something akin to it
self.
In like manner Christianity is adapted
to humanity. It is such truth, and it
conveys such saving grace, that a sin
ning and sorrowing world finds in it
a remedy for its ilia and thereby it
spreads from soul to soul. This fact is
the explanation of the early spread of
the religion of Christ in the first cen
tury. and also of its present and pros
pective power in the world.
All other religions are marked by in
creasing feebleness, and show signs of
perishing at no distant day. Bud
dhism. Brahmintsm and Mohammedan
ism are dying systems. They may sur
vive many years, but they are doomed
They have never been able to travel be
yond the lands which gave them birth,
and. if the human race has before it any
such thing as moral progress, they will
be left behind as the outworn supersti
tions of benighted times. But Chris
tianity is spreading to all lands and per
vading all nations. If before the human
race there shines any promise of prog
ress. this light of hope is kindled by
the religion of Christ.
If the light of this religion were ex
tinguished the darkness following would
affright mankind. It is the last and
only hope of the race.
It is adapted to the deepest wants of
humanity and satisfies its noblest and
highest aspirations. %To Christ has been
applied the prophetic title, 'The De
" sire of All Nations:" and the words do
not exaggerate the spiritual power which
inheres in Him and his salvation.
History witnesses to this fact. Even
Renan is forced by the facts of the case
to say, “The memory of his life has
been like the perfume of another world,
and all history is incomprehensible
without Him."
Tile very dates of the world do Jesus
reverence. The folding doors of ancient
and modern history are inscribed re
spectively. “Before Christ” and “Anno
Domini"—"B. C." and "A. D." The an
cient world went to sleep in his cradle
and the modern world rose out of his
grave.
Men may in gay and giddy days turn
away from Christianity, but in days of
darkness and distress they mtfst turn
back to Christ or walk into deeper gloom
and ultimately into utter despair.
This is exemplified in the case of Mr.
H. G. Wells, who. after years of doubt, is
now trying to find his way back to light.
His recent books show him still groping
amid shadows, but he is at least moving
toward the light. His god is scarcely
more than a deified mist, in which he
sees a great figure, as the childish mind
makes mighty figures of monsters and
demigods out of the clouds floating
above its head. But Mr. Wells has
shown beyond all question that he may
make a complete rettfrn to which here
tofore he has accepted and proclaimed.
He must have a god, even if his god
be a creature of his own making: and
in manufacturing a deity for his soul he
shows a disposition to initiate, although
somewhat grotesquely, the God of Chris
tianity. These dreadful days of a war
worn and war-tom world force him to
renounce his former faithlessness. It
is to be hoped that he may make a
complete return to Christ: and such may
be the case if his life is extended sonje
what beyond the years common to men.
In ’any event, his case reveals that
skepticism has no adaptation to human
needs, and is doomed by reason of its
lack of this quality which so strikingly
characterizes Christianity. There is
nothing in doubt to soothe the sorrow
ing soul, and the deathless longings of
the human heart are fully met only by
Christ and his salvation.
Wherefore said Matthew Arnold. "To
the Bible men will return: and why?
Because they can not do without it. Be
cause happiness is our being's end and
alm. and happiness belongs to right
eousness. and righteousness is revealed
in the Bible. For this simple reason
men will return to the Bible, just as a
man who tried to give up food, think
ing it wa sa vain thing and he could do
without It. wotfld return to food: or a
man who tried to give up sleep, think
ing ft was a vain thing and he could
do without it. would return to sleep."
Men are talking of the new era that
will dawn upon the world when the war
ends and peace returns. And some have
begun to talk of the "new Christianity
that will appear."
Doifbtless many conditions will be
cAnged. As ancient cathedrals have
been cast down by war’s ruthless hand,
so many other old things will fall Into
* ruin. But the old faith will not pass
away. The old sun is still shining.
. though the fields of France and Belgium
r are torn by shot and shell; and. under
his warm beams, trees and flowers will
spring up again and cover with verdure
and beauty the gashes made by war in
the wounded hills and valleys. In like
manner the old faith will continue to
soothe the sore hearts of the bleeding
nations For them there is no other
source of healing.
In their hours of deepest need men
and nations must turn to Christ as did
St- Peter when he cried, "Lord, to whom
shall we go? Thou hast the words of
eternal life.” /John vi:«8.)
A Christless world would be a com
fortless world. The modern man could
not enduVe to live In it.
Our world must he a Christian world,
or it will soon be no world at all. A
Confucian world, or a Buddhist world,
or a Mohammedan world, is impossible—
almost inconceivable.
Christianity alone can restore the
bruised world *hat will emerge from the
war. And there Is no hope of an endur
ing peace to follow the war unless the
principles of Christianity dominate the
thought and control the conduct of the
nations.
And be It said that no emasculated
[ Christianity will meet the needs of the
modern world. A stout faith Is required
1 to restrain aud direct the strong world
of today. Mankind has acquired by
science such vast power for good or evil,
a masterly moral force is required to
hold this augmented strength to safe
linep. and save the world from self-de
struction
New Long Staple Bale,

CHAPTER LXXVII.
THERE seemed to me a note of de
fiance In his voice. But I met
it without excitement.
"Very well, I*ll hurry Norah,” I told
him. and as he ran up the stairs call
ing. “Bruce! Betty!” I hurried into the
kitchen to tell Norah to hasten the
dinner.
“Mr. Drayton is at home and in a
hurry to go out,” I explained as she
grumbled that when she planned to
have dinner at a set time she didn't
want to be interfered with. But as I
repeated my orders, something in my
face must have caught her attention,
for she promised to serve the meal as
quickly as possible.
As I closed the door I heard her say
to Martha, whotfi I had told to assist
her:
"It’s a shame, that's what it is! He
goes away and ( leaves her all alone,
they can’t wait *to eat a decent dinner
with her when he is here."
So even tbe servants noticed that
Robert neglected me. My first im
pulse was to follow him upstairs and
remain with him and the children
until dinner was served, but now I
determined to stay alone; and I closed
the door so that I might not hear him
romping with Bruce and Betty, nor
the joy in their childish voices, because
daddy had come home.
Yes. I would make a real beginning
this time. I would show my indif
ference to his coming, as I had about
his departure. I was so thankful I
had not called the office and asked his
whereabouts, that almost every other
emotion was swallowed up in that. Yet
I could not help wondering if he would
tell me where he had been. I would not
ask him If he did not.
"Did you have a pleasant trip?” I
asked, to make conversation, and also
to give him a chance to tell me what
he would.
"A busy trip.” he replied, as he
helped himself to steak.
“I went to the theater last night,” I
volunteered after waiting a little.
"That’s good. Did you enjoy the
play?”
•’Vary much,” I answered, wonder
ing if he were not curious as to whom I
went with.
"You should go often, you are so fond
of the theater. What sort of a play
did you see?”
"A problem play.”
"I think they are carrying that sort
of thing to an extreme.” he returned.
“Such plays make people morbid, they
give a false impression of life and liv
ing.”
"Oh. I don't think so.” I exclaimed,
thinking of the baby I had so enjoyed.
"It is because they are true to life that
they are so interesting.”
"You must look at them ’from a dif
ferent angle, they Impress me as un
healthy in the extreme."
"Perhaps.” I mused, and then, “per
haps I look at life from a different
angle also."
“Very likely. This steak is excel
lent. Margaret. You better have an
other helping.” He commenced to speak
of the children:
"They grow so fast. I imagined Bet
ty has changed In these three days.”
"She’s a dear." I exclaimed enthusi
astically. Here at least we could meet
on a common ground. We both adored
our children.
After a little more desultory conver
sation Robert rose from the table, and,
after again carelessly kissing me, he re
marked :
"Don’t sit up. I shall be late.”
After the door closed I clenched my
hands until the nails cut into my flesh
to keep from screaming. I knew noth
ing of what he had done the last three
days: he cared less than nothing how
I had spent my time. Well, so be it.
And putting on my hat I called a cab
and told the driver to take me to Myr
tle's. I could not —I would not stay
alpne!
"Well, this is a surprise.” Ned said,
when I went in. "How does it happen
you come out tonight? I thought Myrtle
said you had become glued to the house.
Is any one ill?"
"No; no one is ill." *1 told him. "But
I was lonesome and thought I would
Inflict myself on you for an hour.”
"Good girt." Myrtle declared, insist
ing that I take off my hat. "We’ll call
up Harper Carleton and play bridge."
"When is Robert coming home?” he
asked, after phoning and reporting that
Harper was out.
"He came this afternoon.” I answer
ed. as carelessly as I could.
"Why didn’t he come over with you?”
Myrtle asked.
"He had to leave immediately after
dinner to keep a business engagement.”
"By the way, Margaret, ’ where has

he been? I don’t think I have
heard.”
My face flushed painfully as I pre
tended to try to think. I would “be
a sport,” as Myrtle said, and not let
them see my embarrassment.
“Oh. a little place, I've forgotten the
name.” I replied, then changed the Aib
ject. But I knew that even if I had
fooled Ned, Myrtle knew I was un
aware where my husband had spent his
time.
CHAPTER LXXVm.
ABOUT an hour after I returned
from Myr’le’s Robert came in.
He greeted me pleasantly, anfi
I returned his greeting in the same
.way. 1 told myself that nothing mat
tered, so why make a fus£ about it?
If I was unusually quiet Robert did
not notice it, nor did he notice that
a vase on the table held some beauti
ful roses. Harper Carleton had called,
so Martha told me, and had left the
flowers.
I can’t explain the fueling I always
had when Robert failed to notice these
gifts of Harper s. It was sort of a
wish that he would care enough to no
tice, and then to be jealous. Not that
I wanted him to be jealous enough to
be disagreeable, but enough to show
that he cared.
When I rose to go to bed he was still
reading, and to my question as to his
intention to retire soon he laughingly
said he wasn't sleepy, but for me to
run along.
“Get your beauty sleep. Margaret.
You are looking much better than, you
did. I’m very much, interested in what
I am reading.”
As I passed the table I bent over the
roses and inhaled with delight a long
breath of their perfume. And yet he
did not notice.
In the morning after Robert had left
for the office I idly picked up the mag
azine he had been reading the night be
fore. The book opened of itself and
to my astonishment 1 saw that it had
opened at the beginning of a story by
Phyllis Lawson.
So that was what so interested him.
The thing he could not go to bed with
out finishing. He had no time to talk
to me, his wife, but plenty of time to
read a silly story by another woman.
I looked at the title: “The Man She
Married.” .
Without intending to do so I- com
menced to read. At first with cynical
belief in her ability, but soon with ab
sorbed attention. It was a simple
story, but so replete was it with hu
man interest that in spite of myself it
held my attention, and I read through

Government Reports Cotton Crop
Improved 550,000 Bales in August
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Cotton production prospects improved to
the extent of 550,000 bales during August and brought the estimate of
final outturn to 12,499,000 equivalent to 500-pound bales. That quantity
was forecast today by the department of agriculture on the condition of
the crop August. 25th, which showed a decline of 2.5 points compared with
a ten-year average of C. 6 points decline. Acre yield was forecast at 174.6
pounds compared with 166.9 pounds forecast from July 25th conditions.
The cotton crop specialist summarizes the cotton crop situation of
August 25th as follows:
"The most noticeable feature in cotton crop conditions at this time is
the heavy deterioration which has occurred in Texas. 'No rain of real benefit
fell in central and southern Texas during the past month and the crop went
to pieces rapidly. In much of this section one picking got the cr °P’ a .
the stalk is dead or so badly damaged that nothing could now benefit it.
Should heavy rains come at this late date It is doubtful if It would benefit
the crop. Frost would probably get any new fruit that was put on.
"In portions of northern and eastern Texas, and in almost the entire
cotton belt to the east, improvement was made during the month, the chief
exceptions being portions of Florida, Alabama and Georgia, where, because
of too much rain weevils are raging the crops. In the older weevil infested
states weevils are doing less damage than in former years.
"Army worms are reported in several sections but there has been no
material damage to date. Rust, blight and shedding are local complaints
in a number of the states.
"The crop generally is fruiting well and seems to have overcome a
part of its lateness in many sections. However, in the northern part of the
belt there is much young cotton which will require at least a normal frost
date to reach full maturity.
“The crop has been largely picked and ginned in portions of southenr
Texas, and picking is in progress everywhere in the southern part of the
cotton belt. -There is some fear that a scarcity of pickers will be felt in
most of the states." . , .
The cotton crop was forecast today at 12,499,000 equivalent 500-pound
bales by the department of agriculture in its revised estimate, issued on
the condition of the crop on August 25, which is reported as 67.9 per cent.
The cotton crop forecast today compares with ;11,949, 000 bales as esti
mated from the condition of the crop July 25 and 11,633,000 bales, as esti
mated from the condition on June 25. Last year’s crop was 11,449,000
bales, two years ago, 11,191,820, three years ago, 16,134 930 a nd four
years ago 14 150,486. The condition reported compared with 70.3 per cent
of a normal on July 25 this year 61.2 on August 25 last year, 69. two years
ago and 70.9, the average on August 25 of the last ten years.
In forecasting the total production the department of agriculture al
lowed 1 per cent from the planted area for abandonment. The final out
turn will probably be larger or smaller than the quantity forecast, accord
ing as conditions hereafter are better or worse than average conditions.

Man From Georgia is
Dumb Until Three Beers
Moisten His Throat
WILMINGTON, Oel, Sep tl. —A .well
dressed young man walked into a sa
loon here, produced paper and pencil,
wrote the appeal “Oiie beer” and hand
ed it to the proprietor who promptly
produced the desired drink. Three
times more this was repeated and tha

"What’s the charge?”
"I thought you were dumb,” said ths

to the end before laying the magazine
down. ,
Then I commenced to walk restlessly
back and forth. I was fighting hard
for the mastery of my emotions. Rob
ert had gone beyond my Influence. I
was beginning to realize as I never had
before how little 1 meant to him. Was
It because of this woman? And was
it in any way due to her ability to do
something?
I remembered things Lena Dorian
had said, things I had until now for
gotten. I had not seen her in many
months, but now she came vldldly be
fore me.
"A woman can be a good wife and
mother and yet do things that are in
her to do. things that demand expres
sion,” she had said.
Then came the thought ot Robert s
old-time fastidiousness as regarding a
woman’s place, his objection to my ap
pearing in public, even for charity:.
Well, I would, wait. I was not yet
prepared to take so vital a step against
his wishes; neither had I as yet had
time to thoroughly fit myself.
"How long since Mrs. Lawson turned
authoress?” I asked with a poor at
tempt to veil a sneer.
“Only a short time,” Robert replied.
“Did you read her story I consider it
a very creditable effort."
“Yes, I glanced through it,” I re
turned. “1 didn’t care much for it.
But I thought you objected to women
doing things, especially whin it was
not necessary. I believe that’s wnat
you said when I wanted to do some
concert work.”
“But. Margaret, writing is different.
A woman can write in her own home,
protected from the unpleasant experi
ences sure to arise when she goes be
fore the public.”
"Did you know Mrs. Lawson intend
ed to take up writing?”
“Yes, she told me some time ago.”
"You encouraged her?”
"Yes, I consider her remarkably gift
ed.”
“And you think it perfectly all right
that she should use that gift to in
terest and pleasure the public?
"Why, of course, Margaret. What
are you driving at, anyway?”
"Oh. nothing! I simpb' wanted to get
your views. That’s all.”
Neither Robert nor I had ever re
ferred to his three days' absence, but
I was firmly convinced that it had
something to do with Phyllis Lawson.
Perhaps this was the explanation. Rob
ert might have been her go-between
with her publishers, or he might have
seen some editor for her.
Should I ask him. accuse him of
helping another woman do something
similar to what he so strenuously ob
jected to when I did it?
No! I would wait. I had Harper
Carleton's friendship, and could af
ford to wait until I was sure. Had
it not been for the thought of him. I
should have lo*st control of myself
and denounced Robert as faithless
then and thdre. But while I had the
loyal friendship of one man I would
go slowly, the children were entitled
to that. So I changed the subject,
and chatted amiably for some time, in
fact until Tim Mulhany came in and
claimed ‘Robert’s attention. Tim was
still a powerful factor in the city’s
politics, and Robert was always inter
ested in what he had to say. So after
greeting him I left them alone, glad to
be relieved from the necessity of long
er concealing my emotions.
