Made Lonely Journey A woman farmer in a lonely part of South Africa, Mrs. Ida Francis, has just shown that in luck and endur ance British women settlers are not behind the men. About two months ago a cyclone devastated her farm, which lies be yond the western fringe of the desolate Kalahari desert; and then came floods which destroyed the food and shelter for her cattle. The only way to save her animals was to drive them 400 miles across the desert to her son’s farm, and this she did, unaided. She found that many of the water holes in the desert had dried up, an<i sqmetlmes she had to ward off attacks by lions with her rifle; but she kept steadily on, and in the end brought nearly all her charges through safely. —Family Herald.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MAY 15,1925 Seek and Ye Shall Find “I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eyes.”—Psalms 32:8. DIVINE worship is the highest act of man. T o worship God in its true meaning is the greatest privilege of mankind. When a man truly worships he is receiving knowledge and power; he opens himself, like a flower, to the universal light of Truth, and receives and drinks in its imparting rays. Worship implies the element of conscious inferiority and requires participation. It de mands that the worshipper throw his whole personality into the act if he would come in con tact with the personality of God. A poor ser w - mon, commonplace music, or disturbing details do not prevent worship. He who attunes his mind to that which is pure and beautiful and good, who in the hour of worship strives to reach to the central and eternal heart of things, brings himself in touch with the personality of God and will receive divine guidance. “Seek and Ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” / The church is the appointed place for di vine worship, through which there is away to knowledge, wisdom, truth and power.
