THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR
THE BIBLE.
> •
! Byßev. D. E. Palmer, Vidalia. Ga.
The Bible is to be taken as a rule
for our guide* faith and practice.
It admonishes us to deny ourselves of
ungodliness and worldliness and the
’ lusts thereof. Remember Lott’s wife.
’ Luke 17:32—here is a three-word verse
’ of scripture which stands out all to
itself as a paragraph, or as a chapter,
’ or even a hook. The solemn words
' were uttered by Jesus Christ, and re
-1 fer to the sad fate of the woman who
was lost as she was fleeing from the
• doomed and burning cities of Sodom
• and Gomorrah. The story is too fa
- miliar to be rehearsed here. We will
) consider the privileges of Lott’s wife
i while she lived —a Christian husband,
a Christian home, not Christian per-
I haps in the sense in which we use
the word today, but Christian in the
sense that it was the best home and
so far as we know the best and only
> home in the doomed city where angels
visited and where they accepted enter
tainment. Yet notwithstanding the
influence of such a home, she dies in
the very act of disobeying the com
mand of God. It taeks more than a
Christian home, good as it is, to save
the soul from death and hell. Lott’s
wife entertained angels, a privilege
granted to but few, and yet it was
counted as nothrng to her. So far as
salvation is concerned it takes more
than heavenly privileges and heavenly
visitors to save a soul. Lott’s wife
had these, and yet she was lost. She
was also related to Abraham. It is
good to have Christian relatives, but
they cannot save us from our sins.
Remember Lott’s wife.
The reason why Lott’s wife was lost, (
the question why did Lott’s wife look
back behind her while running from
the flames of Sodom and Gomorrah
may not he answered correctly, but
after all that question is of hut little
moment to us in comparison to the
one which locates us in relation to the
salvation of our own souls. It was
necessary in order to be saved for
I.ott’s wife to leave her wardrobe, her .
furniture, her chinaware, her home,
her friends, and a part of her family.
Could she do it, Was she willing to .

pay the price put on her life by the *
city in which she lived? The test •
came when she had to make choice, <
the moment came when she had to ,
make the personal choice, and that '
choice was to forsake the city or per
ish with it. She made the choice. :
Remember Lott's wife.
Similar tests may come to us. The ,
wife of Lott went out of Sodom, but ‘
Sodom did not go out of her. It was <
not (aken out of her. Does anything ,
—a habit, a desire, "an affliction, a pos- j
session, stand between us and obedi- ’
ence’ to the command of God? Re- <
meriiher Lott’s wife. Lott’s wife was ,
not holy; she was disobedient to the '
Lord. She was obedient in many ‘
things. So far as we know she never ■
broke but one commahdment, but
that meant everything to her. One '
act of disobedience to God is enough
to keep the soul out of heaven. It iT
dangerous to trifle with the commands
of God Almighty; it is dangerous to
run the risk of committing, a single
sin; it is dangerous to stop running
the race which is set before us, to
look at the things left behind us. Re
i member Lott's wife. Is your heart
right with God?

SECRET OF GA. AGRICULTURE
‘‘Diversified farming, plus intellt
. gent or co-operative marketing, is

Georgia Cotton Growers Co-operative
Association. The speaker, in his ad
dress. reviewed the progress of co
operative marketing, stating that dur
ing the past ten'years, the co-opera
! tives of California have sold more
! than two billion dollars worth of farm
l products and thereby made producers
and business people prosperous in
I that state.
Mr. Sapiro spoke in Atlanta as the
, guest of the co-operative cotton mar
i keting association in this state,
which to date has advanced $1,500.-
000.00 in advance payments to its
members.
Mr. Sapiro, in his address to the
Association members expressed him
self as pleasec. with the progress made
with the co-operative marketing in
the management of the cotton grow
ers co-operative association •in this
sate.
He presented co-operative market
ing 1 as the problem of th* farmer, the
merchant and the banket 1 and said
that it had succeeded In California be
