Home Journal: Dear Sir—Please allow me space enough to say a few words on the subject of creation: “In the beginning God created the heaven and theearth.” Gen. 1:1. Now a question has arisen in the minds of philosophers and theologians as to whether he created all thing from a nonentity or from materials. Light, heat, electricity, etc., being materials, some theologians hold that light existed from all eterni ty, and was the natural environ meat of. God, from and out of which he created matter, of which all- 'things are fashioned. This theory seems to be abrogated in Gen. 1: 2. “And the earth was without form, and void, and - dark ness was upon the face of the deep.’ Again, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Gen. '1: 3. “And God saw the light,” etc. Gen: 1: A It seems clear to our mind that if light had existed as material from all eter nity that it would have superceded the necessity for God to say, “Let there be light.” If it was a natu ral environment of God, could lie not have seen it just as well be fore he said, “let there be light,” as he could afterward? “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. Al[ things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life; and the life was the light of men. The light that lighteth the world (not men) being material, could not have been the environment of God, but a part of his handiwork in the creation of all things, “ciod is a spirit.” A spirit is not material, but at the same time it is an entity. The philosophers have attempted to demonstrate the fact as to how many spirits could dance ou the point of a needle without crowd ing the outer circle of the cotillion from the platform. “In him was life; and the life was the light of men,” (not the world.) The life (not light,) was the.eternal envi ronment of God. God alone ex isted from all eternity, and by his omnipotent power spoke all things, both matertal and matter, into ex istence. Out of this matter he formed the earth, and all things therein. He also made the firma ment in the midst of the waters, iu order to divide the waters from the waters. In what does this firmament consist? Simply, light, heat electricity, gravitation and cohesion. Now if we aver that one of these material essentials was the environment of God, and in the existence of which he was dependent to form matter, we see no law by which to abrogate all the others, and class them as non entities or non-essentials. “The earth was without form and void/’ When God here speaks of the earth he does not mean the terra alone, but he means the whole arena now occupied by the earth, together with all other bod ies, both terrestrial and celestial. The whole arena was void; not fill ed with light, heat, electricity, gravitation and cohesion. God de clares that the world, (meaning the whole arena) was void. Now for us to aver that it was filled with material, and tLa. he was de pendent upon this material, or any part thereof, out of which to form matter, either by evolution or oth erwise, is simply ascribing to him inherent power, and thereby abro gating his omnipotency, and thus support infidelity. A theory that places God at the eternal vista, to scan the common arena and mark the countless millions of evolu tions until material ■ is evolved" from immaterial, is but downright infidelity, also. [e was not dependent upon av ion in order to bring forth even the most insignificant creature that inhabited either land or sea. The evolution theory is just as repug nant as the material theory- We admit that God did use -matter in the formation of the woman, yet this matter had its origin ip the omnipotence of God, and by him was brought iuto - existence, and the object of its use in creating man and Ids wife, “bone of one bone, and flesh of one flesh,” was to symbolize the complex union of Christ and his church. As the true wife is "inseparably connected -with the husband, so also is Christ inseparably connected* with his church. This is the final ultima tum of oil creation—the glorifica tion of his great aud exalted name. Observer. Onr State Code of Laws. The Farmers Growing Richer. When to Talk.

It was on the Code of Georgia, and the following extract from it makes interesting mention of one who was a distinguished citizen of Savannah: “At the time of the law providing for a code, there w ere but few codes in the United States; as I remem ber, five in number; those of Vir ginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Cali fornia and Louisiana. Codes were not popular—codes were deemed impracticable, and to some extent impossible. Georgia had been state nearly a century and had not felt the need of a code. Prince’s Digest of 1837,succeeded by Cobb’s in 1850, seemed all that was neces sary, and when the legislature of 1858 made provision for a code, and a code that would be such an innovation, the whole state was urprised. Indeed, the legislature ( made this statement, and others; remember that the tongue is an have voiced the same sentiments l unruly member and very difficult Wananiakcr Favors a Friend.

The Anniston papers report that in the Calhoun county Bepnbliean PRACTICAL HINTS To Those Contemplating ike Purchase since. While it was, doubtless, true at the time Mr. Stephens spoke, and the future then had lit T tie hope in it, yet the old things have passed away, times ' have changed, and the farmer of today is a richer man than the farmer of yesterday. On this line Hon. S. G. McLen don, of Thomasville, recently com piled some very valuable statistics of the relative wealth and pros perity of the farmers of Thomas county; and he thinks they can be supplemented by the records of every district in Georgia where the farmers are industrious pro gressive, and that they will not show up badly when the returns are in. Mr. McLendon prepared a list itself was taken by surprise. The of fifty representative farmers in history of it is this: George A. Gordon was a member of the House from Chatham. He was a young lawyer, 28 years old. He had married at Huntsville, Ala., and made visits to that place,where he met with many of the best law yers of that state. He heard them extol the Code of Alabama, adopt ed iu 1852. He determined, if he could accomplish it, that Georgia should have a code of the same kind. He went further. He con ceived the idea of embracing a cod ification of the common law of force. In pursuance of this pur pose it will be found, by reference to the House journal of 1858, that among other bills introduced by Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, was one to provide for the codification of the laws of Georgia. By that bill the prospective code was to be on the plan of the. Alabama code, which should, as nearly as prac ticable, contain in a condensed form the laws of Georgia, whether derived from the common laws, the constitution, the statutes of the state, the decisions of the supreme court, or the statutes of England in force in the state. It is mani fest from this statement that,"(the design of the code, including the features that distinguishes it from other codes, originated with Mr. Gordon. There is some doubt as to who is the author of our judi ciary act of 1790, that distinguish ed Georgia from her sister 'states by abolishing special pleading, but there is no doubt that George A. Gordon originated the Code of Georgia, and that by his efforts aud influence secured the enactment requiring it. This, together with the success of the code, makes a brief reference to his history ap propriate. He was the oldest son of William W. Gordon, of Savan nah—a distinguished lawyer of that city, a prominent official in city, county aud state affairs, and was the first President of the Central Railroad. He died in 1842,.and a monument was erected to his mem ory in the city of Savannah. He (George) was born in 1830, and was admitted to the bar in 1850. He was a member of the Senate aud and the House. In the “war between the states” he was Colonel of the Sixty-Third Georgia regi ment "While at Kennesaw, his regiment forming a part of Mei- cer’u brigade of Gen. Johnson’s army at Dalton, he contracted ty phoid fever, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. In 1865 he removed to Huntsville, Ala., and, gradually declining from disease contracted during the war, he died in 1872. I had the pleas ure of his personal acquaintance. Like his father, he had a superior mind, well adapted to law—was practical and useful, and in his appearance and manners was a fine specimen of the thoroughbred gentleman of the tidewater region of Georgia and the Carolinas.” Bncklen'sArnica Salve.

In preparing the list he tried to select men who had been engaged in nothing but farm ing for the past ten years; who had inherited nothing within that time and had not given any portion of their property to any child or child ren—men who now live on the same land they lived on ten years ago. As a basis he took the tax- books of 1879 and 1889. Mr. McLendon says: “I found that seven farmers out of the fifty showed a decrease. The aggregate returns of the seven iu 1879 amounted to 828,794, and in 1889 to 825,635. The decrease in ten years was, therefore, 83,159. The lagest individual decrease was §940 and the smallest 85. “In 1879 the other forty-three farmers returned 880,420, and in the year 1889 they returned §145, 001—an increase in ten years ol §64,581, or an increase of eight per cent per annum. The average individual wealth of the forty-three in 1879 was §1,871, - and in 1889 it was §1,372. “When we remember that these foi ty-three farmers have met con stantly increasing family expenses, have educated their children and soon, and.in addition have in creased their wealth at the rate of eight per cent per annum, the showing made becomes a striking and instructive one.” The tax-books were again con sulted as to the present condition of fifty small farmers daring the same length of time—ten years. It was found that these small farmers returned, iu 1879, §30,600 worth of property, and m 1889 §64,230, or their average individual wealth in 1879 was §630.80, while in 1889 ft was §1,284.66. Only four or this fifty fell behind, their aggregate return in 1879 being §7,474, and in 1889 §5,955—a decrease of §1,519. The forty-six who advanced were worth, in 1879, §23,216, and in 1889 thep were worth §58,278. Mr. McLendon rightly thinks that these figures, while they are comparatively small, and speak only for one section, are weighty with argument. They certainly speak well for Thomas county;but we believe that other counties in the state can make a showing equally as good. Without doubt, the farmers of Georgia are grow ing richer. With new and im proved methods, with implements that lessen and facilitate labor, why should they not be more pros perous than they were ten years ago? IIis not going too far to say that the showing which Mr. McLendon makes for the farmers of his section is the standard by which the farmers of Georgia gen erally can be judged, and we be lieve that the tax-books of nearly every county would prove it. Some of the papers think the Georgia legislature is big enough elephant for Atlanta.

There are special times and spec ial opportunities that come to every man and every woman, yea, to all of us when we ought to talk, and there are times when we ought not to talk. To learn when these times are snould be our study. Many of us oftentimes talk when we should play mum, and lock our lips when we should say much,. simply be cause we haven’t learned when to talk. If we have something of im portance to say, something that will edify, something, when said, tbat will produce good resnlts; something, the saying of which will beget within us the conscious ness of having done our duty, and we are in a proper spirit for saying it, then is a fit time to talk. But if we have nothing to say save tat tle, or some flippant remark rela tive to some fellow creature, then is not the time to talk and we shonld lock our lips and house the tongue. Sometimes a half dozen kind words spoken at the right time will quench a flame of anger and prevent serious results. Some times a loving, solicitous remark plants in the heart of a hearer a seed of truth that springs up into life, the fruits of which eternity alone will reveal. At such time it is wrong to keep silent. When we see a fellow creature rushing onward to physical or moral ruin, to remain silent and say naught is simply allowing to pass unimproved the time to talk. Numberless boys and not a few girls, whose opportunities to de velop into men and women of use fulness were excellent, have been morally shipwrecked because their adult friends did not know when to talk. Thousands of boys and girls whose natural endowments and temporal advantages warranted their becoming a power as well as ornaments in the field of intellect ual attainments, have developed into comparative ignoramuses be cause those, to whom were entrust^ ed their training, did not know just when to talk. But some people will talk and do talk on all occa sions, at all times and at all places where they chance to be. They are not and will not be restrained in this particular by persons, places or surroundings. This class are seen to talk and giggle at their own nonsensical prattle while attendin' the funeral rites at the grave of a friend. These go to church not to hear and be benefitted but to talk in the pew and disturb both preach er and people. Yes, these talk everywhere. These incessant talk- ists forget that a constantly prat tling tongue is considered by wise people as an index to a shallow brain, and they have not learned when to talk. They talk at home, they talk abroad, they talk in the church, at the grave, on all public occasions, everywhere; and yet, if all their prattle were bottled up in one compact mass and planted in the richest soil of thought and re search, it is not certain that it would germinate one valuable idea in a thousand years. These, and all of us, should striye to learn when to talk. General Wanamaker and a man j convention, held in their city on named Patterson, who is the editorl Saturday last, W. J.
