IN MEMORY OF MRS. TOM
TAYLOR
On last Friday Y. M. at 2:30, after
doctors, nurses and loved ones had
done all that loving hands could do,
the Lord saw fit to take from us, our
dear Roxie, for He saw this world
was corrupt a place for such as sweet
woman as she.
She was sick almost two weeks be
fore the end came, cut she never
complained about her suffering, or
tried to shrink from death, but said
she was ready and smiled as she saw
her beautiful home above.
She was a faithful member of the
Presbyterian church and a sweet
wife and loving mother. She was
loved by everybody that ever knew
her, both white and colored.
She was so good and kind t° a M-
Oh! She is missed so bad, especially
in her home where she stayed so
dose and worked everyway she could
for the comfort of her loved ones.
Her place can never be filled at
the table, at the fireside or in the
community where she has lived so
many years. She was 44 years old,
and leaves a husband and nine child
ren, Arlen, Ernest, Josephine, Lucy,
Ezra, J. M., Troy, Eunice and
Frances. Four sisters and four
brothers, besides a host of friends to

She was laid to rest Saturday P.
M. in the Vidalia cemetery. Funer
al services were conducted by her
pastor, C. O. N. Martindale.
As they sang that song, “Shall We
Gather at the River,” you could pic

Early Cotton Planting
The history of cotton production in
the United States is the history of
millions of people. It is the story of
pioneers who created colonies, fought
savage tribes, and laid out planta
tions. Fourteen years after the colon
ists settled at Jamestown, cotton was
planted at Newport News. —Nature

lC—Jeremiah’s Message to Hi* People.
I. Jeremiah’* Solemn Warning to
Judah (vv. 1-7).
The Lord commanded him to stand
in a conspicuous place in the Temple
and proclaim the Judgment which was
about to fall upon them because of
their sins. The object was to provoke
them to repentance (v. 3). If they
would not repent, God would make
the Temple as Shiloh (v. 6). Just as
Shiloh was once the dwelling place
of the Lord and now fallen Into decay
and übandoned, so will It be with the
Temple. Jeremiah was sent to speak
the words which the Lord had told
him and not to diminish a word.
11. Jeremiah on Trial (vv. 8-11).
1. Cause of Arrest (v. 8). It was
for faithfully speaking all the Lord
had commanded. The one who speaks
boldly what God commands shall be
opposed. The time-server and self
seeker will not stand for such a min
istry. The Isaiahs and Jeremiahs
must suffer.
2. The Charge (vv. 8,9). It was a
capital crime. They said, “Thou shalt
surely die." His guilt according to
their charge was twofold: (1) Pre
tending to speak for God; (2) Speak
ing against the temple and the city.
According to their charge he was
guilty of blasphemy and sacrilege.
The one who prophesied without
God’s command was to be punished
by death (Dent. 18:20). Rlasphemy
was also punished by death (Lev.
24:16). Both Jesus and Stephen were
accused of blespuemy.
3. The Princes Sit in Judgment (w.
10,11). When the excitement reached
the ears of the princes they came to
judge of the merits of the case. Mat
ters of state were not entirely in the
hands of the priests and elders, hut
were partly controlled by members of
the royal family.
111. Jeremiah’s Defense (vv. 12-15).
Threats of death did not deter him
from preaching, hut only made him re
peat his message.
1. Reiterates His Divine Commis
sion (v. 12). He had nothing to deny,
but to repeat what he had suid. He
plainly told them that in opposing him
they were opposing God, for he was
God’s messenger.
2. His Exhortation (v. 13). He
urged them to amend their ways and
obey God, and God would not bring
upon them Judgment.
3. He Gave Himself Up (v. 14). He
did not resist the powers of govern
ment (Rom. 13:1). Knowing that he
was sent of God he was content to
trust God for deliverance.
4. Warns of Fatal Consequence (v.
15). He frankly told them that God had
sent him, and If they killed him they
would be guilty of defying God. Woe
would not only fall upon them, but
the nation and city would suffer.
IV. Jeremiah Saved (vv. 10-24).
He was acquitted. God Is able to
raise up friends and advocates from
the ranks of those who oppose us.
1. Judgment of the Princes (v. 16).
They pronounced him not guilty, as he
had spoken in the name of the Lord.
Jeremiah’s words convinced them that
he was speaking the truth.
2. Speech of the Elders (vv. 17-23).
As the princes probably represented
the king, so the elders represented the
people. The elders pleaded for Jere
miah and adduced several cases In
Illustration:
(1) Mlcah (vv. 18, 19). Micah had
prophesied against Jerusalem, but King
Hezekiah instead of putting him to
death, repented and thus turned aside
the punishment which was impending.
(2) Urljah (vv. 20-28). Urijah
prophesied against the city and land
and thus Incurred the wrath of
Jehoiaklm, who even brought him back
from Egypt whence he had fled and
slew lilm.
Though all this was done, judgment
was not thus thwarted. Killing God’i
prophets does not prevent God’s Judg
ment, but intensifies It. In the case
of Hezekiah God’s Judgments were
turned aside through heeding the words
of the prophet, and in the ol
Jehoiakim judgment fell upon the na
tion because of refusal and maltreat
ment of the prophet.
3. Rescued by Ahlkain (v. 24). Ahi
kam must have been a man of influence
to be able to interfere at such a time.
Opportunities
We may not at first see It. but al
most always opportunities are hiding
hack of the difficulties—and It pay*
to hunt them out.
Speaking the Truth
It is better to hold back the truth
than to spealf It ungraciously.—St.
Francis de Sales.
The Tongue
The tongue Is the neck's worst en
emy.—Arabian Proverb.
Spreads Cotton Seed
The wind plays an Important part
In spreading the numerous down-cov
ered seeds when the cotton plant Is
not systematically cultivated. J'he
root penetrates deep into the soil. The
plant responds readily to differences In
climate, soil and methods of growing.
