Let the biennial session bill be enacted before the jam of closing hours of the legislature. California requires the Constitu tion of the United States taught »n the public schools. Georgia and «every other state should require it 100. Ever since Jim Holloman return ed from the Democratic Conven tion in New York he has been ex plaining the inside workings of the convention, but when a few women and men begin to quiz him closely about it, he now feels its time to quit. A college degree may not be very valuable to you, young man or young woman, but the hard work it takes to get a regular de cree la worth much, and worth ■striving for. Don't give up your •desire for an education. The work of the county agents iin Georgia, a review of which has iicen published, is marvellous. The agent’s work among the young people on the farm is proving of great or and greater value eacn year. v. ■ ■ -- Well, v 'll got to vote on Peach county and maybe Comer county, two new • unties proposed by the legislature and here’s hoping both ■will be snowed under with an over whelming vote; the new county .mania is .ne of the many move ments that is hindering Georgia’s progress an I increasing her bur dens.

FAIR PREMIUM LIST The premium list of the Walker , county fair i 3 announced this week in this issue, to which we call es pecial attention. Enlarged, well-planned and at tractive premiums should stimu late unusual interest in the com ing fall event. The present good t crop prospects also should be an added incentive. Numbers of farmers have called for the premium list and have I shown deep interest in the fair. The list reveals, with the excep tion of three twenty-five dollar scholarships, all cash prizes, and the prizes are of considerable amount. The prizes total larger than any previous fair, and the committees have given special at tention to all departments in ef forts to make, strong each depart ment. Os especial interest should be the woman’s department, which in previous years has not been un usually attractive. The list as an nounced for woman's work is ap pealing this year and the fair of ficials expect a much better inter est taken on the part of the wo men. Read the premium list carefully, preserve it, and plan to make ex hibits in October at the fair.— I * Make your schools and churches better and stronger; they are j fundamental centers of power in an age of restlessness and change.

GOLDEN TEXT-'For In that ll* Himself hath suffered being tempted. He Is able to succour them that are tempted."—Heb 2:18. PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus FWuses to Do Wrong. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus Conquers the Tempter. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP lC—Jesus Shows Us How to Overcome Temptation. YOUNfJ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Victory Over the Tempteiv I. It* Purpose (V. 1). The Holy Spirit led Him Into the wilderness with the specific purpose that He there meet and overcome the one whose works He came to de stroy (Heb. 2:14). Ills temptation was not a preparation for His work, as usually thought, hut rather the opening of the dreadful conflict between Clirlst and Satan, which was to Issue In Sa tan's defeat. It was not to lest Jesus to tmd out ns to whether He would stand fast —to see whether He would sin. The eternal purpose of God as to redemption absolutely could not fail. It was rather to exhibit Him as an ob ject upon which faith might rest, to show that a union between God and man had been effected which would Insure man's reconciliation. 11. The Conflict (vv. 2-11). 1. The Combatants (v. 1). (1) Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the Divine Man, is now entering upon His mediatorial work. He went immedi ately from the place of anointing and heavenly recognition as the Non of God to meet the arch-enemy of the race. (2) The Devil. Ife was a real per son and, while always filled with cun ning and malice. In this case the init’a five was taken by the Lord. He was dragged into the presence of Jesus Christ and forced Into the struggle. 2. The Battle Ground (v. v l). It was In the wilderness of Judea. The first man was tempted in a garden with the most pleasant surroundings and failed The second man was tempted in a barren' wilderness, surrounded by wild beasts, and gloriously triumphed. 3. The Method of Attack (vv. 2-10). Since ns our Redeemer Christ sus tained a threefold relationship, the Son of Man, Son of God and as Messiah, each one was made a ground of attack. (1) As Son of Man (vv. 2. 3). This was a test of the reality of Ills' human ity. To demonstrate whether the hu manity which He obtained through the virgin birth was real, the appeal was made to the Instinct of hunger. Hun ger is not the result of sin. While the appetite is not sinful, lo have satisfied it in a wrong way would have been sin. (2) Son of God (vv. 5. 0). Tills was a test ns to whether the personality which had come from heaven and taken upon Itself humanity was divine. The Devil quoted from a Messianic psalm to get Illm to presume upon God’s onre. God does care for tils own. but to neglect common precau tion —to do the uncalled for tiling— just to put God’s promise to a test Is sin and dentil. Satan tempts men to day to do the spectacular things In or der to get publicity, to gala the ears of the people. (3) As Messiah (vv. 8,0). Christ’s mission as the Messiah was to recover this world from the Devil. The Devil offered to surrender to Him on the simple condition that He would adopt his method, thus obviating the neces sity of the cross. The kingdoms were really Christ’s and He knew that they would ultimately become Ills. The in ducement was to get Immediate posses sion without the sufferings of the cross. 4. The Defense (vv. 4,7, 10). Christ met the enemy each time and repulsed his nttack with the Word of God. Each time He said, "It is written” and quoted from Deuteronomy, the book which the higher critics would dis credit. Christ had enough confidence in it to use it in this, the most crucial, hour of the world's history. 5. The Issue (v. 11). (1) Satan vanquished. The enemy was completely routed. The strong man was so bound that the spoiling of his li«Uße was possible. (2) Angels came nnd ministered unto Him. This event was so mgable that these glorious beings were sent from heaven to give It recognition and to minister unto the triumphant King. Man’s Sorrows Man's sorrows are a mystery, but that sinners should not have sorrows were a sadder mystery still. And God pleads with us all Dot to lose the good of our experiences of the bitterness of sin by our levity or our blindness to their meanings.—Alexander Maelaron. A Prayer We pray Thee. O God. that Thou wilt help us to be faithful, earnest nnd true in all of our work, whatever It may be.
