New Uses For Cotton Stalks
According to the National Farm
Chemurgic Council, C. G. Rook of
Gladewater, Texas, has ten differ
ent industrial uses for cotton stalks
and burs.
•He has found that cotton stalks
and burs can be turned into high
quality paper, into insulating wool
for the walls of buildings and re
frigerators, into nitrocellulose for
smokeless gunpowder; into viscose,
a base for rayon; into collodion, a
base for gelatine, dynamite, cellu
loid, plastics, paints and lacquers;
and, to name only one other, into
fertilizers of relatively high nitro
gen content. Truly, a magic plant
is this cotton of our Southern fields
—-raiment in its bolls, food and feed
stuffs in its seed and hull, and a
w’balth of industrial values in its
dead stalks and burs. Aladdin’s lamp
could not hold a candle to it.

ISAIAH GIVES GOD’S INVITATION
LESSON TEXT—lsaiah SS:I-U.
GOLDEN TEXT-Seek ye the Lord while
he may be found, call ye upon him while he
Is near.—lsaiah 55:6.
Thirsty? A thousand signboards
will tell you what to drink to refresh
yourself. Most of the suggestions
are there only to get your money,
ard often their proffered lift is a
push downward and their refresh
ment is only a prelude to destruc
tion. But they do declare that thirst
is universally present. Throughout
the Bible thirst is used to express
man’s need of and longing for God.
He is a spiritual being made in the
likeness and image of God and in
tended for fellowship with Him.
Never will he be fully satisfied until
he comes to God and meets his hun
ger and thirst with that “which is
good.”
The invitation of Isaiah is present
ed under the figure of a purchase,
“Come ye, buy.” In carrying out
that thought we suggest that there
are four steps in buying and using
anything.
I. Listen (v. 1).
“Ho, everyone that thirsteth.”
This is as Spurgeon says “the cry
of a salesman at a fair.” Amid the
confusing sounds and disturbing
sights surrounding his customer the
salesman must make himself known
and catch the interest of his cus
tomer. The latter must listen to the
offer and the recommendation of the
things for sale.
This is an unusual offer. Isaiah
invites the buyer to make his pur
chase “without money and without
price.” Does that mean that the
thing for sale is cheap or worthless?
Far from it, for it is priceless. Sal
vation is free for the sinner, but it
cost God the price of His only begot
ten Son. It is because Jesus paid
the price of redemption that we may
have it freely without cost.
11. Compare (vv. 2-5).
A good shopper compares values
lest he make a bad bargain or buy
that for which he has no real need.
What is the situation of the one who
is invited to buy what God offers?
He is a sinner who has been fool
ishly seeking to satisfy himself with
what the world has to offer. With
money he has tried to buy happi
ness, contentment, recognition. The
bread of this world will never satisfy
and the water of this world only in
creases one’s thirst. (See John 4:
13, 14.)
Compare what God has to offer,
“that which is good,” that which
delights the soul (v. 2). Here is
life (v. 3) assured by the promise
of One who made an “everlasting
covenant” with David, assuring him
of His “sure mercies.” It results in
ultimate glory (v. 5).
The one who honestly makes such
a comparison is quickly satisfied
that the time has come to
111. Buy (vv. 6-9).
Penniless, the sinner may “buy”
without money. He may call upon
God, for God has already called him.
He may seek God, because He like
the good shepherd has been out seek
ing the lost sheep (Matt. 18:12).
While man can certainly not save
himself, there are things which God
expects the sinner to do. First, he
is to “seek the Lord.” Where?
Right at your side, sinner, for “he
is near” (v. 6). Then when the sin
ner meets the Lord he is at once
conscious of his sin. What shall
he do with it? Forsake it in both
thought and deed (v. 7) and God
will “abundantly pardon.” Observe
that men may by their sinful rejec
tion of Him bring themselves to the
place where they not only do not
listen to God’s call, but actually do
not want to hear it. “Seek ye the
Lord while he may be found” (v. 6).
IV. Enjoy (vv. 10, 11).
Some foolish folk buy things and
put them away where neither they
nor anyone else can enjoy them.
Some worry so much about the price
they paid or are so concerned about
the preciousness of the thing pur
chased that they find no pleasure in
using it.
Salvation is not a thing to be
hidden or put on a shelf. In fact,
it is not a thing at all, but a life.
It is to grow, to bud, to blossom and
to bear fruit. How? By being ready
to receive God’s Word which comes
down like the rain from the heavens,
refreshing, encouraging, and fructi
fying the life of the believer.
God’s Word never returns to Him
void. He prospers it to. accomplish
His own purpose. But pray tell me,
if we never study it or even read
it, how can it help our lives? We
“grow in grace” only as we grow
“in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ” (II Pet. 3:18).
We grow in knowledge as we study
God’s Word. Thus we come to enjoy
our Christian life
