The 801 l Weevil.
"Know thou, that for all these things
God will bring thee into Judgment.” Ec
clesiastes 11 : In.
To everyone everywhere. When
I wrote last I did not say half I
wanted to say. Now 1 want to
say a few more . words, not so
much on the boll weevil as on the
sweet promises of God.
1 do not know the heart of the
people, hut I fear that we are all
too far away from our God, and 1
do feel deep in my poor heart that
that is wh\ God is letting the boll
weevil rule us. Because, we are
loving the vain thing', of this life
too well and forgetting to love
and serve Kim.
We are tyld all through the
Bible what will be when we for
sake the Lord our God. Just read
again please, the 28 and the 2hlh
chapters of Dueteranomy, and the
78 Psalm, and the whole bible if
you will, and then I think you will
know better how far away from
our God we are. But His wo hi is,
return unto me, and 1 'will, return
unto you.
Now please read these two
verses with me, 2 Clu mic! s, 71h
chapter, 13 14 verses, “If 1 shut
up heaven that th re be no rain,
or if 1 command the Locusts to
devour the land, or if 1 send pesti
lence among my p ople; If my peo
ple which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek mv face,'and turn from
their wicked ways, then will 1 hear
from heaven and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land.” So
the bible tells us in many places,
that the suhet promises of God is
to all generations and His com
mands to all generations. You
can find this command in the lGth ,
chapter and 15th verse of 1 Chrbni-i
cles. Be ye mindful always of!
His coven 11'.; the word which He
command‘d to thousand genera
tions. Now oh my dear ones, we :
know that we are one of those j
generations, oh, do study deep,!
and see vvh it you think we ought i
to do, oh, 1 do fear f >r our proud
United States, because the boll
weevil and many more things tells
me that we are iyat serving God
right. Oh! my soul, n 1 know
my own heart, 1 love everybody,
and want even body to love God,
and obey His holy word, before it
is too |ate. I have read through
the bible many, many, times, and
I have nev r found no promise to J
no people, when th w were not
serving God, oh, do turn from
the vain things of this life and
help me cry to God daily, for
mercy, as we are commanded.

Relishing a meal puts a fellow in a good humor (the ladies are aiwas that way.)
Without meat there is always a feeling of something lacking. And if you have
saved meat, and it is not of the best, the relish is not there.
The obvidis thing, therefore, is to buy the BEST meat—meat that produces a
relish—that nuts you in a good humor—that keeps you in the pink of condition.
Tne quality of the meat you eat is more importannhan the quantity.
