6 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, Upland, Arouses Interest ADEL. Ga., Aug. 31.—Prof. W D. i Wells brought to Adel this week a bale of Dix-Aflfi cotton, the new long staple upland cotton which has been developed by the state board of entomology. The ' cotton sold in the local market for 4« 1-3 cents to Mr. S- A. Parrish. From 2 1-2 acres Prof. Wells has al* ready gathered 2.655 pounds of seed cot ton and will get some more. The new cotton created a good deal of interest k here and it is probable that a good deal 1 «f It will be planted another year.

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 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1917. By Carolyn Beecher 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 DRUGGISTS PRAISE - ’ DE-PIAUSEATED CALOMEL Triumph of Modern Pharmacy.

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. CONDITION REPORT BY STATES. ? State.

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 thirst> one then asked in a clear voice: "What’s the charge?” "I thought you were dumb,” said ths surprised saloon man. "Nothing like that,” was the reply “You see, I’m just from Georgia and believe me, that place is some Sahara desert. I just couldn’t talk until I had moistened my throat.” 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.
