While God does not need the support of man’s hands, does he not desire the worship and love of men’s hearts? How does God give to all “life and breath, and all things?” Will we in heaven be able to see God, in any different way from the way in which it is our privilege to see him now? Verse 26.—What is the evidence that all races of men, sprang from the same original stock? Has God had anything to do with the national, and geographical divis¬ ions of the globe, as they exist to-day? Has God had anything to do with our present individual conditions? Verses 27-28.-What is both the chief joy and object of life? Is it possible for every man to find God if he will but seek him, and what is the only condition for seeking him? How do you conceive of the thought that “in him we live and move and have our being,” can you illustrate the thought with air, that is both in us, and around us? Verse 29.—Can any work of art rep¬ resent God to any practical advantage? Verses 30-31.—What makes the need for repentance? In what way will Jesus judge the world? Verse 32. -Why did some mock when they heard of the resurrection? Verses 33-34—Did all who were true to God accept of Paul’s message, and were all untrue to God who rejected it?

THE COVINGTON NEWS OUTLOOK GOOD FOR FIFTEEN GENT COTTON Predictions Freely Made That The f leecy Staple ill Bring 1 5 Cents By December I 5. they are talking about ftfteen-cent cotton on the floor of the Savannah Cotton Exchange,” says the Savannah I ress. “Predictions are freely made there that before December 15 cents a pound will be paid for the staple. A farmer who will spend an hour or ! niore talking to the cotton men of Savannah will go home convinced that he is going to get enough for his crop this year to pay off all the back debts cind reduce the size of the mortage on the farm. 1 iiose who are looking for extra high prices for the staple are basing their assertions upon the crop reports and the great damage for actual cot¬ ton that is already being felt. The government’s cotton report of June 25 showed a general average of but 74.6. This was very poor. The usual average condition is about 86 “With the government forecasting a poor cotton crop, with heavy rains throughout the cotton belt at a critical time and with the stock from last year’s crop considerably reduced as compared to former years, there seems nothing for the price to do but ad¬ vance. If it does not advance, there is going to be much disappointment from the planter straight through to the exporter. If the south can get fifteen cents a pound for cotton this season, it will help some to meet the high prices for necessities which the government tariff barons seem deter¬ mined Americans shall pay.” If we should have fifteen-eent cot¬ ton this fall, how this country would revel in good times! The panic would be forgotton and there would be such an era of prosperity dawn as to make former years look like thirty-cents. There is some reason to believe that we will have not only a big cotton crop this year, but that the price will be twelve cents or better. In this section the crops are fine. Cotton is looking well, and unless some bad seasons come, a full crop will be made. Things look good to us. ORCHID HUNTING. The Terrors and the Dangers el Tropical Forest. It is not a pretty story, this narra¬ tive of a trip up the Orinoco, but you i may understand orchid people better if you read it. “It began unluckily," said he. “I took a partner because I'd learned that the dark places of earth are hard upon a man by himself. 1 met him at Port of Spain, and he was eager for the adventure because he had just abscond ed from a British mercantile house in j Havana and the Orinoco sounded to him like a haven. “We hired a few negroes. Our real i guides we would pick up at Angos¬ tura. One day while waiting for the ; stores to be packed 1 took my partner | out to show him what an orchid was. “Near the Fitch lake i saw one in a tree and ordered one of the negro boys to shin up and get it. He would not. A deadly snake dwelt in that tree, he declared. lie was afraid- help¬ j afraid of snakes! Nice, efficient, ful boy to take into tropical forests, wasn't he? “It was insubordination before the expedition had even started. So 1 cuffed him and handed him my hunt¬ ing knife. ‘Bring down that flower j and also the snake’s head,' I ordered. I and, whining, trembling, be went up the trunk. He was detaching the or chid from where it clung when a thing like a spear, as black as bis own skin, suddenly struck at the boy's j wrist. He screamed with terror and, ! toppling down, writhed with pain. He j died, and 1 felt a gloom settle on my i spirits. took rafts “Well, at Angostura we and six guides upstream. First one guide died of fever; then another was bltteu by poisonous insects. One fell in with—or into—an alligator. We needed meat, and the skin was worth a good deal, so half in revenge, half in curiosity, we went out and plugged holes in the monster. When the guides cut it open they stooped and drew things out—the bones and the cotton clothes of the guide this cannibal rep¬ tile had swallowed. The very knot was still in his sarong. Oh. don’t squirm! This ts orchid hunting. “\Ve had three guides left at the end of the second month, when, pad¬ dling along one day where the vines overreached and let snaky tendrils draggle down, we came to a fifty yard clearing. We saw there the sides of three canoes, half smothered with rap¬ id growing vegetation, and 1,500 alli¬ gator skins well salted, but decaying. Hanging to the roof of what had been a kind of lean-to were 100orchid plants —withered and dead. Ou the floor lay two rusty rifles and two skeletons, Out by the ashy place where the fire had been was a third skeleton. Up between the ribs were cheerfully grow ing some gay weeds.” - Everybody's Magazine.___j Maude— How old is Grace? May- : At least twenty-five. Maude—How do i you know?

Let’ s figure a little and see if you are getting it as cheap and at the same time as safo as you should, and ior an example we will figure on a $5000.00 policy for a man 30 years old. In the best of the old line companies the rate for a non-participating 20 year pay policy is $27.86 a year per thousand, so a policy for $5,000.00 will cost $139.30 a year for 20 years, and these premiums at 5 per cent, compound interest will amount to $4836.47. Not a bad investment at all considering the protection you have had. But, let’s see if we can’t beat that. The I. O. F., financially the strongest Fraternal Insurance Co. in the world will give you the best policy on the market, provid¬ ing total disability benefit of one half the face policy, old age benefit etc. Will you give this protection including Court dues and everything for $76.32. These premiums at same rate of interest for 20 years amounts to $2650.00. So the insured if he dies at any time during 20 years only leaves $5,000.00 and at the end of 20 years only has the $5,000.00 insurance. The old line policy has cost $4,836.- 49 and the Fraternal $2,650.23, a saving of $2,186.26. If y°u live to be 70 years old, at the time of the maturity of the Fraternity Policy at which time the I. O. F., begins paying back ONE-TENTH of IN¬ SURANCE EVERY YEAR until all is paid back TO INSURED. Counting same rate of interest on amount invested in premiums there will be a big saving. So hadn’t you better investigate this matter of protection for the loved ones at once. Be a Forrester with us in the Independent Order of For¬ resters, Safe Sound and Conservative. 35 years old.
