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 .

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? ■ ■ ' DIVERSIFIED FARMING THE SECRET OF GA. AGRICULTURE ‘‘Diversified farming, plus intellt . gent or co-operative marketing, is j the solution to Georgia’s agricultural j crisis, declared Aaron Sapiro of Cal | ifornia. noted expert on co-operative ! marketing and attorney for the j American Cotton Growers Exchange. in an address on Thursday of last i week, in Atlanta, at the State Capitol before officials and members of the 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 cause of the perseverence of the farm ers. the business experience of the merchants and the cound guidance of the bankers.
