TEXT—Without faith It Is
■Ibis to please him.—Heb. 11:8,
SON TBXT-11 Chron.
i Abas reigned sixteen years from
about 789 to 728 B. O., over the king
dom of Judab, its capltpl being in Jeru
salem. The kingdom was nearing Its
fend, and was destroyed within a few
years after the death of Abas. His
'character presents many Interesting
questions for discussion; the character
'of bis reign, the wealth and prosperity
'of his father and grandfather, the de
velopment of his character from the
home wherein he originated, why a na
tion can be successful and not be right
eous or virtuous, that Is, outwardly
Successful, end the application of theso
[questions to our present-day political
and commercial lives.
1 f. Aha*, the Ruler, <w. 1-5). Tlic
character of Alias Is not to be admired.
Ho played a prominent and evil part
in tho history of tho Kingdom of Judah.

Syrian Inscriptions of the year 732 It.
ja, tho Hebrew historian having
dropped tho prefix "Jcho" from his
name. Tho full name indicates that
he had "grasped Jchovnh," yet he was
untrue to his name. The historian snya
“be did not that which was right in the
Sight of tho Lord." This puts It mildly,
but indeed few of tho kings of Judali
did otherwise, and he patterned his
conduct not after the good model of his
father, but the thoroughly bnd conduct
of the kings of the northern nution,
Israel. He was but twenty yours of
age when he took tho throne, liut had
already entered upon n course of aetlou
opposed to that of his fattier.
II. Ahaz Ruined. The choice lay
before him of following In the steps of
his grandfather Uszlah nnd his futhcr
Jothum (II Chron. 1:10). lie chase to
defy God, openly disobeyed him und
was disloyal to his God nnd his coun
try, walking In tho ways of the kings
of Israel, (v. 2), burnt bla children in
the Arc, after the abominations of the
heathen, (v, 8), made molten Imuges
of Baal, (v. 2), and spread that wor
ship Into tho high places on the hills
and under every green tree (v. 4),
made sacrilegious use of the temple's
treasury, and was dishonest as well us

(V. 8) nt another date: Abas himself
was filled with terror at the great ca
lamity that overtook him. (Isa. 7:2.)
While he received temporary, help (H
Kings 10:9,10), he received ultimately
ruin from the king of Assyria, for he
became & vassal and was summoned
to Damascus to pay homage to that
| king, as appears from the sccount II
i Kings 16:7-9, and also from the Afsy-
| rinn inscription,
i Other enemies
Edomites from
away captives,
from the southwest Invaded the cities
of the low plains, south of Judah, nnd
took possession of then£(vv. 17-19) and
the army of the Assyrlhn, which Ahaz
led to rob and profane the temple and
Its treasures in order to buy them off
(v. 22-24), completed the ruin of his
nation. Ahaz was forced to pay a
heavy tribute to the Assyrian king
(v. 21), and got no help for his out
lay. ,Ie put his trust in an arm of
flesh Instead of in the mighty arm of
God, which brought upon him the
curse thut always comes to those who
trust In man (Jer. 17:5, 6). There is
a blessing which always awaits those
who trust In Jehovah (Jer. 17:7, 8).
The wise man turns to GodTfot In the
time of his distress but at nil times.
Instead of sacrificing to the God who
naved his father and who would save
him, Ahaz sacrificed to the god "which
amote him." Ills defiance knew no
bounds (v. 24). He seemed to have
dabbled In every known form of false
worship, thereby “provoking to anger
the Lord God of his fathers” (II Kings
23:11, 12). God is long-suffering to
(hose who wnnder from him, but there
' ctffnos an end to his patience (II I’cter
3:9, 10).
IV. Tho Reverse Picture. There
lire several problems to be solved ns
we view this picture, for It Is a stury
of real life, not only of tho early times
but Is being repeated even today and
in this country. (1) Men will reap
that which they sow. Ouc cannot sow
wild oats nnd reap the fruits of right
eousness. (2) Jehovah places right
eousness above security or prosperity.
(3) God’s purposes arc for the uplift
nnd the making of the nution und the
Individual better, God never does evil
that good may come out of it. A lov
ing father must exercise discipline, and
let us not be mistaken.
In order to properly appreciate the seriousness of the present situation.
It Is well to consider the annual consumption of foods by the population
of Georgia, numbering2,700,000persons.or 640,000 families of five each.
Tho consumption of wheat flour has increased rapidly during the past five
rears and some allowance must be made in the following figures. For
instance, if the per capita consumption of flour Is four barrels, the amount
of wheat required will be 9,636,000 bushels. If six barrels (which Is nearer
the present consumption), the total when consumed will be 60 per cent
greater.

The reader must bear In mind that the above figures represent foods
required for human consumption only. In addition there must he sufficient
grain and forage to suppply the requirements of 4,135,000 head of domestic
stock within the state. The com surplus of between arty and sixty million
bushels Is not sufficlelnt for stock feeding purposes, hence 36,000,000 bushels
iust be grown in Georgia this year to supply - the full requlre-

Corn Is King
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture
For the period of the war, cotton is dethroned and corn Is crowned—
we must have our “porkiand hominy” if we’re going to keep up our end of
the load. There Is considerable cause for alarm when we realize that the
state faces a deficit of 15,000,000 bushels of corn—that is, unless tbe farm
er* of the State Increase the acreage very materially. The responsibility,
however, la not altogether on the farmer but on tbe business man also; There
mint be a change In the credit system. The deficit In wheat amounts to
7.000.000 bushels: and In oats, to 5,634,785 bushels. In order to balance tbe
shortage of former years it Will be necessary for the farmers of Georgia to
grow this year approximately 100,000,000 bushels of corn. This will neces
sitate a considerable Increase in tbe acreage, a considerable expenditure for
fertilizers, the growing of velvet beans la tbs Cora, and the making of corn
a major instead of one of the secondary mi sapplmnentary crops. It Is
quite possible to increase the yield of corn In Georgia by 36,000,000 busbels
this year If the farmers and business men realize in time the seriousness

To Do Its “Bit” In

Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture
In each county there should be a
representative executive committee to
direct the work, of which the County
Demonstration Agent should be an ex-
officio member (since he represents
both the State College of Agriculture
and the United States Department of
Agriculture). This committee should
have a representative of every interest
In the county, and should consist of
from seven to twelve members. Its
duty Is to formulate plans in the pro
duction and conservation of food sup
plies.
Working with and co-ordinated with
the Executive Committee there should
be a Food Conservation Committee,
whose duty it will be to discover ways
and means by which waste may be

can, perhaps, be of greatest servk

Not Wheat But 1
Potatoes the Staff Of life
The experience of European belllger- j
ents In the present war proves the
statement that ’’the potato is the staff
of life," since people have worked and
rought on adictof meat and potatoes. 1
Even before the war the chief diet of
many peasants consisted of potatoes.'
Georgia shows a marked deficit in the
prdduction of this valuable crop. In
fact the requirements in Irish pota
toes exceeds the annual production by
17,750,000 bushels; of sweet potatoes,
by 10.950,000 bushels. Tbe farmers
of th. (tat. can easily treble or qua
druple the present production of
sweet potatoes; only they hesitate be
cause they fear they cannot store them
successfully. Usually the flue system
of curing gives very good results.
While entirely desirable, the small
farmer will hardly be able to erect a
curing house, even though the Col
lege of Agriculture supplies plans and
specifications without cost. As a mat
ter of patriotism and business, sagac
ity tbe business men of a community
should undertake the erection of large
storage houses to tak. care of. the
surplus crop of potatoes. Scattered
over the state, In every community,
there should be storage houses tor po
tatoes, just as there are buildings tor
the storage of cotton, wheat or corn.
IT IS A GREAT SATISFACTION when you’
need undertaking service to be able to give it to
some one who is thoroughly reliable. CALL
