The First Disciples of Jesus.—
John 1; 35-46. Read the chapter.
Golden Text—“And they follow
ed Jesus.”—John 1: 37.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. All things were
made by Him; and without Him was
not anything made that has been
made. In Him was life; arid the life
was the light of men. And the light
shines in darkness; and the darkness
apprehended it not. There was a
man 'sent from God, whose name
was John. The same came for wit
ness, that he might bear witness of
the light. There was the true light,
even the light which lights every
man coming into the world. He was
in the world, and the world was
made by Him, and the world knew
Him not.
He came unto His own, and they
that were His own received Him
not. But as many as received Him,
to them gave He the right to be
come children of God, even to them
that believe on His name: which
were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. And the Word
became flesh, and dwelt among ns
(and we beheld His glory, the glory
as of the only begotten from the
Father), full of grace and truth.
John bare witness of Him, saying,
“This was He of whom I said, He
that eometh after me is become be
fore me: for He was before me.”
John sees Jesus coming unto him,
and said, “Behold the Lamb of God,
which takes away the sin of the
world!” Again on the morrow John
was standing, and two of his disci
ples; and he looked upon Jesus as
He walked, and said, “Behold the
Lamb of God!” And the two disci
ples heard him speak, and they fol
lowed Jesus. And Jesus turned, and
beheld them following, and said un
to them, “What seek ye?” And they
.said unto Him, “Babbi (which is to
say, being interpreted, Master), where
abidest Thou?” He said unto them,
“Come, and ye shall see.”
They came therefore and saw
where He abode; and they abode
with Him that day: it was about the
tenth hour. One of the two that
heard John speak, and followed
Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother. He finds first his own
brother Simon, and said unto him,
“We have found the Messiah (which
is, being interpreted, Christ).” He
brought him unto Jesus. Jesus look
ed upon him, and said, “Thou art
Simon, the son of John: thou shalt
be called Cephas (which is, by in
terpretation, Peter).
On the morrow He was minded
to go forth into Galilee, and He
finds Philip; and Jesus said unto
him, “Follow Me.” Now Philip was
from Bethsaida, of the city of An
drew and Peter. Philip finds Na
thaniel, and said unto him, “We
have found Him, of Whom Moses in
the law, and the prophets, did write,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son 'of Jos
eph.” And Nathaniel said unto him,
“Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth?” Philip said unto him,
“Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathan
iel coming to Him, and said of him,
“Behold,an Israelite indeed, in whom
is no guile!” 'Nathaniel said, unto
Him, “Whence kuowest Thou me?”
Jesus answered, “Before Philip call
ed thee, when thou- wast under the
fig tree, I saw thee.” Nathaniel an
swered Him, “Behold, Thou art the
Son of God; Thou art the King of
Israel.”

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the ner
vous and organic action of the sys
tem, and that-is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a

The National Anti-Trust Confer
ence is to take place in Chicago ou
Feb. 12. The Executive Commit
tee of the conference met' at the
Sherman House recently, and the
chairman of the committee, Mr. M.
L. Lockwood, delivered an address
in the course of which he said.
I “The mission of the conference is
to answer the question: ‘What can
be done to save the country from
the oppression of the trusts?’ The
plan is to treat the causes rather
tliar the effect. In government
ownership only can railway favor
itism be prevented. Government
control under corporate ownership
has proven a failure. In order to
destroy the trusts we mast take
from them the special advantages
which have created them, and they
will wither of their own weight, as
they mbet the energetic competL
tive capacity of the American peo
ple.”
It is doubtful if Mr. Lockwood
will bs able to convince the people
that government ownership is the
solution of the trust problem. We
understand of course that 3 Mr
Lockwood means that the general
government should own the rail
ways.
It seems to us that the general
government has just about as much
power now as it ought to have. In
fact, the people would in all proba
bility be better off if it had less
power. Unless there is ho truth
in the statements which find their
way into the public prints, the
power which the government has
is often misnsed. It is well known
that in making appointments polit
ical influence rather than merit
controls. In the recent Spanish
American war hundreds of men
were given commissions in the ar
my because their fathers or their
friends had a political pull. Even
now it is said that the Secretary of
the Treasury is threatened with a
congressional investigation for a!
leged favoritism to a great nation
al bank of New York city. It
would be au easy matter'to men
tion hundreds of instances of a
misuse of power by the general
government.
9 If the general government owned
the railways it would not be a dif
ficult matter for the party in pow
er to retain control of the govern
ment. The railway employes, and
there are hundreds of thousands of
them, would be active workers for
the dominant party. And it is not
improbable that there would soon
be an appalling degree of corrupt
tion in railway management. Fa
voritism would be shown, it is safe
to say, would be shown to a far
greater extent than at present.
-Besides, under government control
the railways would not ,give such
good service as the people are now
getting. It is a notorious fact that
in those parts of Europe in which
the governments own the railways
the service is much inferior to that
where corporations own them. Mr.
Lolckwood’s plan is a good thing
to talk about but not to put into
practice.. And it must not be for
gotten that there are trusts which
are much more oppressive than
the railways. Does Mr. Lockwood
intend that his plan shall cover all
sorts of trusts?
The Democratic party is going to
deal with trusts, and it will do.it
much more effectively than the
men associated with Mr. Lockwood.
On an anti-trust platform the Dem
ocrats of the whole country can be
united. Unless we are greatly
mistaken, the strongest plank in
the Democratic National Platform
this year will be an anti trust
plank. In a recent signed article
Congressman de Armond of Mis
souri, who was a candidate for the
leadership of the Democrats of the
House, said: “I cannot understand
how a man can be a Democrat and
fail to be a foe to trusts.” In op
position to trusts Democrats will
stand together and battle valiant
ly for victory in the next national
contest.
Macon Telegraph.
Yhe statement comes from Mont
gomery that there will be an in
crease in’ cotton acreage in Ala
bama this year. Though not alto
gether unexpected; this is unwel
come news. The increased acre
age will of coarse be the result of
this season’s seven cent cotton, and
unquestionably shows that their
recent hard experience has failed
to teach many farmers in our sister
state a bitter but useful lesson
If the farmers of Alabama want
a return of four-cent cotton, let
them increase their acreage and ad
vertise the fact that they have done
so, thus recklessly killing the-gold-
en goose; if they want sevej cents
or a still better price for their cot
ton next fall, let them plant less
even tban last year and devote their
surplus land and energy to diver
sified crops that are sure, of sub
stantial returns not subject to sad
den fluctuations. Oa this subject
the Manufacturers’ Record recent
ly gave the following good advice:
“Until all the cotton-raising land
has been brought under cultiva
tion a normal regulator increase in
acreage may be expected, and in
fact, it may hardly be deplored.
But cotton growers should remem
ber that the cost of raising cottou
may be greater this year than last;
that the situation in the legitimate
market for the staple will certain
ly be changed if the supply exceeds
the demand, and that the snrest
way of inducing this phase of over
production is by abnormally ex
tending the acreage. The condi
tion of cotton-growers has undoubt
edly been much improved this year
by the advance in the price of
cotton. They should remember,
though, that their general condi
tion is marked by a balancing of
poor years and good ones, and they
should instead of sinking all their
gains of this year in preparations
for enlarged operations, devote
their energies to reducing the cost
of growing their crop by render
ing themselves as independent as
possible for foodstuffs. They
should continue and develop the
good habit, acquired through ad
versity, oE living at home.”
