effect w T Ould that have upon your
intentions and actions, so far as
God is concerned and if it would
change these in the least, does that
not prove that you are now living
wrong and are in danger?
Most people are morally and
spiritually a sleep, and many are
far into the night; what are the
conditions which should suddenly
startle such into full consciousness,
as to their danger, and their duty?
Verse 13.—How is it that the
night is the time selected for so
many bad deeds?
Should a man ever do a thing
which he is ashamed for his best
friends and neighbor to know?
Does the popular conscience
generally, or always represent
God’s attitude to a thing; or are
there some things God may be
pleased with which the community
would condemn as wrong, or vice
versa?
How is it that bar rooms are
generally screened off from the
public gaze?
Why is it a crime for a man to
get drunk?
Why do most drunkards get
drunk in the night, or away from
public gaze?
Does the drunk habit generally
lead to the other four grave evils
mentioned in verse thirteen?
Verse 14.—What is the sure
remedy for the drunk habit, and
all kindred evils of the flesh?
Does putting on Jesus, always
mean putting on strength so we
can control all the passions of the
body, and the ambitions of the soul?

Governor Brown’s Plan.
Gov. Joseph M. Brown has outlined
a plan by which the school teachers
of the state can be paid their salaries
promptly and it is meeting with ap¬
proval by a great many people all
over the state. In part Mr. Brown
has outlined the following:
“I suggest that we take at once the
necessary steps to catch up with our
school fund and pay every public
teacher in Georgia his or her salary
monthly. It is impracticable for us
to collect in one year the necessary
sum from taxation and accomplish
this result, and it would be almost
criminal for us to stop the schools of
QUESTIONS ON SUN¬
DAY SCHOOL LESSON
Prepared by Rev. Dr. Linscott for
The International Bible Study
Club in this ^aper.
June 27th, 1909.
Temperance Lesson. Rom. xiii:-
8-14.
Golden Text—Put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ.—Rom. xiii: 14.
Verse 8.—Is it always sinful to
go into debt, when you have no
visible means of paying it?
Is it right, or wrong, to go into
debt when you have nothing to pay
with, if your creditor knows your
circumstances?
Is a business man who has
honestly failed in business and
given up all he has to his creditors,
under moral obligation to pay the
balance of the debt, if he makes
enough money to do so out of
future business?
Under modern business condi¬
tions, and the law of love and
righteousness, when wholesalers
sell on time, or give an adequate
discount for cash to retailers, why
are not the debts of an honest bank¬
rupt retailer, the legitimate loss of
his creditors in common with him¬
self?
Wherein consists the folly and
sin of a wage-earner in constant
work, getting into debt?
Is it the duty of everybody to
love everybody, the bad and the
good, enemies and friends?
What is the advantage of loving
everybody, to ourselves, and to
those whom we love?
Verses 9-10.—Give reasons, outside
of the Bible, that will cover all cir
disobey cumstamces, these why it is always wrong to
five moral prohibitions.
(This question must be answered in
writing by members of the club.)
Must all such acts, as are here
forbidden, contravene the law of
love to make them sinful; for
example, if you had to kill a man
who was about to kill one of your
loved ones, would that be sinful?
Can an act be wrong that works
out for the good of all parties?

had to die inside of a month, what

Various Election to Be Held This
Year lor the Issuance of Road
Bonds in Many Counties
The Georgia and Alabama In¬
dustrial Index, published at Co¬
lumbus. Ga., says in its regular
weekly issue:
“Probably never before in the
history of Georgia and Alabama
was so much earnestness, enthus¬
iasm and real determination shown
on the subject of road improvement
as at present, and that with all this
steam generated something is going
to happen, can most assuredly be
taken for granted. The city and
town folk who own automobiles,
and the country people who wish
to get to town conveniently (and to
whom road improvement is of more
vital importance than any one else)
are now on a common platform, and
this concert of action is developing
a strong sentiment. Significant of
this sentiment is the action of the
Muscogee county, Georgia, grand
jury a day or two ago in recom¬
mending the issuance of $1,000,000
of bonds, or as much thereof as
should be necessary, to build
model roads in that county after
plans to be prepared by the best
highway experts in the United
States. A mass meeting of Calhoun
county, Alabama citizens clamored
for an election on the issuance of
$300,000 of bonds for road improve¬
ment. Various elections of that
character have already been ordered
in the two states, and already in
several instances bonds have been
authorized. „
“A noticeable feature of the
week’s industrial news in the two
states is the resumption of plants
that have been idle, conspicious
among them being the starting of
several departments of the big steel
mill at Ensley, Ala. A large Cy¬
press lumber mill at Waycross, Ga.,
that has been idle for several
months, has been bought by a New
York company and will be enlarged
and operated.
“The receivers of the Atlanta,
Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad
are petitioning the federal court for
authority to issue receivers certifi¬
cates, which will insure the com¬
pletion of the road into Birmingham
at a cost of $1,000,000. The build¬
ing of a railroad between Rome,
Ga., and Gainesville, Ga., has been
proposed, and a big delegation from
the former city went over to
Gainesville to have a heart-to-heart
talk on the subject. In the mean¬
time, south Georgia citizens were
knocking at the doors of the court
for a charter to build a road from
Savannah, Ga., to Glenville, Ga.”

Georgia to enable us to catch up with
our funds. What, then must we do?
What will first suggest itself to every
business man who calmly considers
this condition should he be confronted
with like conditions in his own busi¬
ness affairs? He would at once take
the necessary steps to raise the money
by the use of his credit. I propose
that we handle in like manner for the
state and for the teachers the situa¬
tion that now confronts us, and
utilize the credit of the state to relieve
the condition. The legislature at its
coming session should propose and
submit to the people of this state an
amendment to the constitution autho¬
rizing the issuance of about $600,000 of
bonds, the proceeds of which should
be used to create a permanent loan
fund to be loaned every spring to the
school fund for the payment of the
teachers salaries, and returned to this
loan fund in December when the taxes
are collected. This fund should be
sacredly guarded and not used for any
Other purpose.
“The state could raise this money
upon a three per cent basis. When
not in use the depositories would pay
sufficient rate to reduce the interest
to the state to two p*r cent. The
bonds so issued might be retired in a
few years at tho rate of $100,000 per
annum without the necessity of any
increase in our tax.”—Atlanta Geor¬
gian.
