Christi;in discipleship needs to empha
size. ‘The gift without the giver is
bare. The Christianity that attempts
to suffer hv proxy is not the Christian
ity of Christ Each individual Chris
tian, business man, citizen, needs to
follow in his steps along the path of
personal sacrifice for him. There is not
a different path today from that of
Jesus' own times. It is the same path.
The call of this dying century and of
the new one soon to Vie is called for a
new discipleship, anew fellowship of
Jesus, more like the early, simple, apos
tolic Christianity when the disciples
left all and literally followed the Mas
ter. Nothing but a discipleship of this
kind can face the destructive selfishness
of the age with any hope of overcoming
it. There is a great quantity of nom
inal Christianity today. There is need
of more of the real kind. We need a
revival of the Christianity of Christ
We have, unconsciously, lazily, selfish
ly. formally, grown into a discipleship
that .Jesus himself wonld not acknowl
edge. He would say to many of ns
wh;n we cry. ‘Lord. Lord." *1 never
knew yon. ’ Are we ready to take up
the cross ? Is it possible for this church
to sing with exact truth
"Jmiub, I my crow have taken.
All to leave and follow thee?
“If we can sing that truly, then we
may claim discipleship, but if our defi
nition of being a Christian is simply to
enjoy the privileges of worship, be gen
erous at no expense to ourselves, have
a good, easy time, surrounded by pleas
ant friends and by comfortable things,
live respectably and at the same time
nvoid the world's great stress of sin and
trouble because it is too much pain to
bear it—if this is our definition of
Christianity, surely we are a long way
from following the steps of him who
trod the way with groans and tears and
sobs of anguish for a lost humanity;
who sweat, as it were, great drops of
blood; who cried out on the upreared
cross. ‘My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?'
“Are we ready to make and live a
new discipleship ? Are we ready to re
consider our definition of a Christian t
What is it to Vie a Christian ? It is to
imitate Jesus. It is to do ns he would
do. It is to walk in his steps. ”
When Henry Maxwell finished his
sermon. he paused and looked at the
people with a look they never forgot
and at the moment did not understand.
Crowded into that fashionable church
that day were hundreds of men nnd
women who had for yenrs lived the
easy, satisfied life of a nominal Chris
tianity. A great silence fell over the
congregation Through the silence there
came to the consciousness of all the
souls there present a knowledge, stran
ger to them now fo years, of a Divine
]> >wer. Every one xpected the preacher
to call for volunteers who would do as
Jesus would do. but Henry Maxwell
had been led by the Spirit to deliver
his message this time and wait for re
sults to come.
He closed the service with a tender
prayer that kept the Divine presence
lingering very near every hearer, and
the people slowly rose to go out.
Then followed a scene that would
have been impossible if any mere man
had been alone in his striving for re
units.
Men and women in great numbers
crowded around the platform to see
Henry Maxwell and to bring him the
promise of their consecration to the
pledge to do as Jesus would do. It
was a voluntary, spontaneous move
ment that broke npon Maxwell’s soul
with a result he could not measure. But
had he not been praying for this very
thing? It was an answer that more
than met his desires.
There followed this movement a
prayer service that in its impressions
repeated the Raymond experience. In
the evening, to Maxwell’s intense joy,
the Endeavor society, almost to a mem
ber, came forward, as so many of the
church members had done in the morn
ing, and seriously, solemnly, tenderly,
took the pledge to do as Jesus would
<lo. A deep wave of spiritual baptism
broke over the meeting near its close
that was indescribable in its tender,
joyful, sympathetic results.
That was a remarkable day in the
ibistory of that church, but even more
*o in the history of Henry Maxwell. He
left the meeting very late. He went to
liis room at the settlement, where he
•was still stopping, and after an hour
with the bishop and Dr. Bruce, spent in
a joyful rehearsal of the wonderful
events of the day, he sat down to think
over again by himself all the experience
be was having as a Christian disciple.
He kneeled to pray, as he always did
now, before going to sleep, and it was
while he was on his knees this night
that he had a waking vision of what
might be in the world when once the
new discipleship had made its way into
the conscience and consciousness of
Christendom. He was fully conscious of
being awake, but no less certainly did
it seem to him that he saw certain re
sults with great distinctness, partly as
realities of the future, partly as great
longings that they might be realities,
and this is what Henry Maxwell saw in
this waking vision:
He saw himself first going back to the
First church in Raymond, living there
in a simpler, more self denying fashion
than he had yet been willing to observe,
because he saw ways in which he could
help others who were really dependent
on him for help. He also saw more dim-
mg Jrt fj
ly that the time wonld come when his
position as pastor of the chnrch wonld
janse him to suffer more, on account of
growing opposition to his interpretation
of Jesus and his conduct, but this was
vaguely outlined. Through it all he
heard the words. “My grace is suffi
cient for thee. ”
He saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia
Pago going on with their work of serv
ice at the Rectangle and reaching out
loving hands of helpfulness far beyond
the limits of Raymond. Rachel he saw
married to Rollin Page, both fully con
secrated to the Master’s use. both fol
lowing in his steps with an eagerness
intensified and purified by their love
for each other, and Rachel’s voice sang
on in the slnrns and dark places of de
spair and sin and drew lost souls back
to God and heaven once more.
He saw President Marsh of the ool
lege using his great learning and his
great influence to purify the city, to
ennoble its patriotism, to inspire the
young men and women who loved as
well as admired him to live lives of
Christian service, always teaching them
that education means great responsibil
ity for the weak and the ignorant. He
saw Alexander Powers meeting with
sore trials in his family life, with a
constant sorrow in the estrangement of
wife and friends, but still going his
way in all honor, seeing and living in
all his strength the Master, whom he
had obeyed even nnto loss of social dis
tinction and wealth.
lie saw Milton Wright, the merchant,
meeting with great reverses, thrown
upon the futnre by a combination of
circumstances, with vast bnsiness in
terests involved in ruin, through no
fault of his own. but coming ont of all
hiß reverses with clean Christian honor,
to begin and work up to a position
where he conld again be to hundreds of
young men an example of what Jeans
would be in business.
He saw Edward Norman, editor of
The News, by means of the money giv
en by Virginia, creating a force in jour
nalism that in time came to be recog
nized as one of the real factors of the
nation, to mold its principles and actu
ally shape its policy, a daily illustra
tion of the might of a Christian press
and the first of a series of such papers
begun and carried on by other disciples
who had also taken the pledge.
He saw Jasper Chase, who had denied
his Master, flowing into a cold, cynical,
formal life, writing novels that were
social successes, bnt each one with a
sting in it. the reminder of his denial,
the bitter remorse that, do what he
would, no social success could remove.
He saw Rose Sterling, dependent for
some yeurs upon her aunt and Felicia,
finally married to a man far older than
herself, accepting the burden of a rela
tion that had no love in it on her part
because of her desire to be the wife of a
rich man and enjoy the physical lux
uries that were all of life to her. Over
this life also the vision cast certain
dark and awful shadows, but they were
not shown to him in detail.
He saw Felicia and Stephen Clyde
happily married, living a beautiful life
together, enthusiastic, joyful in suffer
ing, pouring out their great, strong,
fragrant service into the dull, dark,
terrible places of the great city and re
deeming souls through the personal
touch of their home, dedicated to the
human homesickness all about them.
He saw Dr. Bruce and the bishop go
ing on with the settlement work. He
seemed to see the great blazing motto
over the door enlarged, “What Would
Jesus Do?” and the daily answer to
that question was redeeming the city
in its greatest need.
He saw Burns and his companion
and a great company of men like them
redeemed and going in turn to others,
conquering their passions by the Divine
grace and proving by their daily lives
the reality of the new birth, oven in ths
lowest and most abandoned.
And now the vision was troubled. It
teemed to him that as he kneeled he be
gan to pray, and the vision was mors
of a longing for a future than a reality
in the future. The chnrch of Jesus in
the city and throughout the country —
wonld it follow Jesus'* TV ns the move
ment begun in Raymond to spend itself
in a few churches like Nazareth Avenue
and the one where he had preached to
day and then die away as a local move
ment, a stirring on the surface, but not
to extend deep and far ? He felt with
agony after the vision again. He
thought he saw the church of Jesus in
America open its heart to the moving
of the Spirit and rise to the sacrifice of
its ease and self satisfaction in the
name of Jesua He thought he saw the
motto, “What Would Jesus Do?” in
scribed over every church door and
written on every church member’s
heart. The vision vanished. It came
back clearer than before, and he saw
the Endeavor societies all over the
world carrying in their great proces
sions at some mighty convention a ban
i ner on which was inscribed. “What
Wonld Jesus Do?” and he thought in
the faces of the young men and women
he saw futnre joy' of suffering, loss,
self denial, martyrdom, and when this
part of the vision slowly faded he saw
the figure of the Son of God beckoning
to him and to all the other actors in his
life history. An angel choir somewhere
was singing. There was a sound as of
many voices and a shout as of a great
victory, and the figure of Jesus grew
more and more splendid. He stood at
the end of a lona flight of “Yes!
Yes! O my Master, has not’the time
come for this dawn of the millennium
of Christian history ? Oh, break npon
the Christendom of this age with the
light and the truth 1 Help ns to follow
thee all the way!”
He rose at last with the awe of one
who has looked at heavenly things. He
felt the hnman forces and the human
sins of the world as never before, and,
with a hope that walks hand in hand
with faith and love, Henry MaxwelL
disciple of Jesus, laid him down to sleep
and dreamed of the regeneration of
Christendom and saw ia his dream a
church of Jesus “without spot or wrin
kle or any such thing. ” following him
all the way. walking obediently in hi*
steps.

ADVICE TO "FARMERS
LETTER OK COMMISSIONER OK
AGRICULTURE ON PRESENT
COTTON CROP.
ACREAGE AND PLANTING
Mod* of Preparing; the Soil—Farmer*
Warmed to Pan** and Carefully
Consider Their Plans.
Atlanta, April a, 1900.
The ootton acreage for Georgia will
be virtually determined during this
inoath and the present price of this
staple makes the temptation very strong
to plant too muoh cotton to the neglect
of other crops. W* warn the farmsra
to pause and consider carefully whether
the plans formed and which they are
now about to execute, provide tally for
all the supplies needed on the farm for
both man and beast. Whan this pro
vision Is mads, Ist the farmer plaat as
unoh cotton as be oaa properly culti
vate and gather and he ia bouad to
prosper, the degree of prosperity de
pending only upon the prio* of the sta
ple. Let os gel beck to the good old
days when the farm was a littls world
within itself, making almost everything
needed by the family. Our older read
era oaa remember the farmers wers ths
lords of ths land and ths money lend
ers of the oonntry. Of reoenl years the
soens has shifted and now the merchant
reigns supreme in ths towns, while
the farmer borrow* and the land mourns
weighed down with mortgage. The
“all cotton plan" may nos be responsi
ble for tb* depreseed condition of the
cotton growing states, but mooh is
chargeable to this cans*. The trouble
is not so much that we have too muoh
ootton bnt too few supplies.
Gnr farmers got into the hebit of pro
dnoing all ootton to the detriment of
food crops immediately after the “war
between the states.” when there was an
exorbitant demand for the fleecy staple
on acoonot of said war, aad conse
quently prices reached a “boom” value.
Food crop*, suoh as wheat, oorn, oats,
*Mv, were comparatively low. As soon
as the demand wat lessened the prioes
began to drop. It was difficult to go
back to ths old plau9 and the habit be
came fixed, until we hare been foroed
by low prioes and almost bankruptcy
to consider oar condition, and form res
olutions of retrenchment. Let us not
lose what we have gamed, but let 1900
be a memorable year because of tho
great supply of “bog and hominy.”
For the past two years we have made
much progress along these lines. More
wheat and grain and grasses generally
were sown than for years past. More cat
tle and better cattle are being kept and
raised by the farmer. Let the good
work go on. Ootton mills are springing
np like magic all over Georgia. The
lumber and turpentine industries are,
as well as the iron and gold ore, all do
ing well There ia and will be a great
demand for grains and grasses, cattle,
hogs, poultry, butter and egga This
will bring into circulation more money
to buy more cotton goods than for
years, hence we believe that cotton will
be a good prioe next fall.
Concerning the planting of cotton we
advise that jnst as soon as the ground
has been prepared and all danger of frost
is over, plant your cotton seed. The early
plants, as a gederal thing, prodnoe the
best fruit Don’t wait until the ground
becomes too dry to produce germination
of the seed. Run a harrow over the
beds, whsu they are not fresh, §o as to
freshen the surface. You can do this
with but little loss of time if you will
arrrnge a small plow immediately be
hind the teeth of the harrow eo as to
open a furrow for the planter, or use
the planter with an opener. The har
row will not only freshen the bed. but
remove olods and other obstacles and
kill the germinating grass.
When the cottou is ready to come up
ran your harrow over the bed again
and this will aid you in gettiag a good
stand and besides kill another crop of
grass. Ws prefer the planter that cov
ers the seed with the double-foot bull
tongue to th board, used with some of
the ootton planters. We have gener
ally need, say 50 to VS pounds of ferti
lizer in the drill with the seed. This
gives an early start to the plant.

Stock Raising.
Question.—Have read your article on
keeping more stock on our farms. How
can I best improve tue breed with least
cost?
Answer —Unquestionably the most
profitable course for the general farmer
to pursue in improving the quality of
his live stock, is first to buy first-class
thoroughbred males. The calves got
by a thoroughbred bull of any of the
best breeds, out of a mixed average lot
of cows, will possess muoh of the thor
oughbred sires, and the females of these
grades again bred to a thoroughbred
will give animals equal to the average
thoroughbred for all practical purposes
except that of procreation. The same
is true of swine, sheep, poultry and all
kinds of farm stock. Get, then, the
purest lineage males and carefully seleot
the best of the female produce for
breeders and iu a few years you have
ingrafted all the excellencies of the
thoroughbred stock upon your flocks
and herds.
If you are not able to invest in a thor
oughbred aloue, then get one or a half
dozen of your neighbors and together
buy the male. Georgia is far behind
some of our sister states in the quality
of the live stook. Especially is this
true as to "beef cattle.” The Short
Horn is one of the best breeds for gen
eral farmers. This breed will give you
a steer at three years old that will
weigh from 1500 to 1800 pounds, and a
cow that will give two to four gallons
of milk under proper treatment
The very best breeds will not show
any marked superiority over our native
stock, if left alone to shift for itself in
the lands of the average farmer, but
the improved breeds do furnish the
means by which more pounds of beef
or butter, mutton or pork, and of a bet
ter quality, than can be produced by a
given quantity of food, than from unim
proved stock —State Agricultural De
