SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Sept. 14th. —Jesus Rejected at Nazareth.
Luke 4:16-30.
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
GOLDEN TEXT: He anointeth
me to preach good tidings. Luke 4:18.
It was very natural that early in
His Galilean ministry, Jesus should
desire to go back to His boyhood
home. At Nazareth He had spent
most of His life to this time. Here
were the friends of His boyhood,
youth and young manhood. It was
a. small village and He knew every
man, woman, and child by name.
He knew every dog, and cow and
ass. It was one of those delightful
situations so often to be repeated to
day in hamlets and villages of our
own land. For it is delightful to
know everybody and to have every
body know you in the' place you
live. It has its disadvantages, of
course; for there are prying people
everywhere; and Jesus found some
of these when He went back there
to preach. But that did not keep
Him from wanting to give His
home folks the good things He had
to dispense.
On the Sabbath das’- He went into
the synagogue, “as His custom
was.” His appearance there was
not unusual; in fact, it would have
been unusual if He had been absent.
This habit was one formed in boy
hood which He had not broken. Too
many young men and women are
breaking the habit of church going
formed in childhood, nowadays.
They didn’t intend to get cut of the
habit, but late hours Saturday nights
and the relaxation of Sundays make
the break and before they know it
habit of a lifetime is gone. If
BBsus had the habit and it was a
thing for Him to keep up, it is
worth your while, too, young men
and young women of this genera
tion.
The synagogue service offered an
opportunity to Him. At a certain
time in it the ruler of the’ synagogue,
or the leader of the worship offered
any one. an opportunity to speak
who desired it. Sometimes a special
one was appointed to read. Which
of the two was true at this time we
do not know; but at any rate, Jesus
stood up to read. It was not an
haphazard selection; He knuew the
Scriptures from a lifetime study of
them, and when He had opened the
book, “He found” the place where
it was written —what He wanted to
read.
It is Interesting to note that He
turned to what in our Scriptures is
labeled Isaiah 61. There was no
doubt in His mind that it was God’s
word He was reading; nor was there
any doubt that it had been spoken
by God through Isaiah. You may
know that the destructive critics—
arid their name is becoming legion
in days; watch for them; they
are extremely subtle and attractive
often, but they are the devil’s
agents—these critics say that all of
rhe book of Isaiah from chapter 40
on is spurious. Their opinons vary
from assigning it to a second Isaiah
to denying its inspiration entirely.
That Jesus had no such idea doesn’t
faze them, for Prof? George Jack
son, one of their number, is recently
quoted as follows: “It is now ad
mitted on all hands—the few dis
senting voices do but emphasize the
•general consent—that Christ’s au
thority cannot be invoked to invali
date the findings of modern Biblical
criticism; neither do we explain His
language as an accommodation to
he ignorance of His contemporaries,
vve must maintain the limitations of
the knowledge of Jesus in the in
terest of true Christology and of in
tellectual liberty.” This is quoted to
show to what a blasphemous extent
they will go.
Jesus opened the book and found
he place, and read the words of God
spoken through Isaiah because He
knew they were God-breathed. The
?F Sag l u from which Ile rea <* was
this: The Spirit of the Lord God is
upon me: because Jehovah hath
me to preach good tidings
mJ ”?u ek: he hath «« to
bnd U p ti le broken hearted, to pro
claim liberty to the captives, and

FROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE
Mrs. Bradford Recommends Lydia
E.Pinkham’sVegetable Compound
Phoebus, Virginia. “ Having this
opportunity I just cannot refrain from
saying a word of
praise for the
Lydia E. Pinkham
medicines. I have
used them as occa
sion required for
twenty years, and
my three sisters
have also used
them, and always
with the most
gratifying results.
DuringtheChange
of Life I had the
I
usual distressing symptoms, — hot
flashes, insomnia, etc., and lam
pleased to testify to the wonderful
results I obtained from the Vegetable
Compound. I heartily recommend it
to any woman and I will be pleased to
answer any inquiries that might be
sent to me through the publication of
my testimonial.” — Mrs. H. L. Brad
ford, 109 Armstead St.,Phoebus,Va.
Consider carefully Mrs. Bradford’s
letter. Her experience ought, to help
you. She mentions the trials of middle
age and the wonderful results she ob
tained from Lydia E.Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound.
If vou are suffering from nervous
troubles, irritability, or if other an
noying symptoms appear and you are
blue at times, you should give the
Vegetable Compound a fair trial. For

this is not the time or place to dis
cuss the second and third portions,
except to state their relation to the
first, we shall leave them, and study
the portion Jesus selected and read.
This is most important, otherwise
He would »ot have slopped abruptly
at a comma!
“Anointed” —that was what “Mes
siah” means, and its Greek equiva
lent, “Christ.” Among His own peo
ple with whom He had played and
worked at the humblest tasks, He
made the bold claim to be the long
expected Messiah He claimed to be
the Christ. Taking the passage in
Isaiah with which they were fa
miliar, and which referred as they
knew to the Servant of Jehovah
long desired, He laid out. before them
His work as a man (for there are
six things He was anointed 'to do,
and six is the number of man) —to
preach good tidings, to heal, to pro
claim deliverance and recovery of
sight, to set at liberty, to announce
the acceptable of Jehovah! What a
wonderful program!
To preach good tidings to the poor
—or, as Isaiah put it, the meek,
those who poor in spirit are meek
and willing to listen because they
have no dependence upon them
selves. To heal the broken-hearted —
only God knows how many of them
there are. Often those closest to
us know nothing of the worst heart
aches; but Jesus knows, and cares
and heals. To preach deliverance to
the captives—bound with the chains
of sin, there is no way of deliver
ance, except through Him who came
to destroy the works of the devil.
Recovering of sight-to the blind —in
whom the god of this world hath
blinded their eyes lest they behold
the glory of God in the face or
Jesus Christ. To set. at liberty them
that are bruised—not wholly under
the power of Satan yet, but bruised
by sin; now set free by Him. To
proclaim the acceptable year of Je
hovah—to tell that God’s offer Is
now open; and it still is. For there
He closed the book. It will remain
open until the day of vengeance of
our God, and woe be to him then
who has refused His gracious offer
in the open now!
It was a dramatic moment in the
synagogue at Nazareth that Sabbath
morning. When He had closed the
book, He sat down and every eye
was fastened intently on Him. Why
did He read that passage? Why did
He stop in the middle of a sentence?
Why did He give the book back to
the leader of the synagogue and sit
down without saying anything in ex
planation as the reader usually did?
Then He began to speak. “This
day is this Scripture fulfilled in your
ears,” (He said. And as He talked
of the meek and the good tidings;
of the captives and their deliverance;
of the broken-hearted and their heal
ing; of the blind and their recovery;
of the bruised and their liberty; of
the open door and the waiting yearn
ing God—oh! wouldn’t you have liked
to have been in me congregation
that day?—they were amazed! They
never had heard such gracious words
in all their life. And coming from
this townsman whom they had
known all His life! Where did Jo
seph’s son get such words? Where
did the Carpenter ever learn such
wondrous truth?
Their questions were more of
doubt than of inquiry. They failed
to honor His claim to be the Anoint
ed One, the Messiah, the Christ; they
saw Him only as one who had grown
up with them. That’s why He said:
No prophet, is accepted in his own
country. But He cut them to the
quick when He reminded them that
it was only to a Gentile widow that
Elijah was sent during the famine;
Israelitish widows enough and starv
ing, but without faith. And only
Naaman, a Gentile prince, was heal
ed; there were many lepers in Israel,
but they lacked faith.
They raged with fury at. this.
They resented His rebuke. The
truth always hurts when you are in
wrong. The congregation became a
mob—they had. forgotten His gra
cious words; they thirsted for His
life Out of the city and to the brow
of the precipice on the side of their
city they led Him—and He let them
lead Him. But before they could
cast Him over the brink of the pre
cipitous cliff, He passed through
their midst and went His way. It
didn’t require a miracle to do this;
just presence of mind; quietness
when they were excited. He never
used His power to save Himself.
He had come unto His own; and they
that were His own received Him not!
Every day Jesus lived that text.
He wishes by His spirit to repro
duce His life in you. There are poor
about you to whom you may preach
the good tidings. There are captives
waiting for you to bring Him who
can deliver them. There are broken
hearts—oh, so many of them—that
need His healing touch, and you can
be the physician who applies that
Remedy. There are blind ones who
need to catch a. sight of Him who is
the Light of the world. There are
those who have been bruised by con
tact with the rough road that Satan
leads them, who need to be set at
liberty. And all need to know —two-
thirds of the people in the world
have never heard this—that the Only
Dqor is still open.
Will you let Him live His life over
in you?
New Gilded Glasses
Keep Heat and Glare
From Workers’ Eyes
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.—Gilded
glasses—yellow glass upon which is
a coating of gold—which, it is
claimed, eliminate heat and glare
from light and yet permit sufficient
illumination for sight, have been in
vented by Dr. A. H. Pfund, asso
ciate professor of physics at Johns
Hopkins university. Used in goggles
for men who work in the glare of
furnaces, the inventor says will
eliminate the danger of blindness.
Dr. Pfund says the injurious infra-'
red and ultra-violet rays of light are
eliminated entirely. This has been
accomplished through the use of a
film of gold much thinner than gold
leaf. The gold, according to the in
ventor. passes the light waves on
i to the eye. but casts off the heat
waves, while the glass reflects the
I ultra-violet rays. The light that
j passes through the glasses is slight-
I ly but not unpleasantly greenish, it
is said.
Since the heat rays are cast aside,
i the glasses themselves do net get
, hot.
“A recent application of this de
■ vice has been made to motion pic
tures used in schools,” the report of
the inventor says. “Hefetofore it
has been found impossible to stop
the flint in order to examine an in
dividual picture more closely, for the
reason that the intense heat would
cause the film to burn almost imme
diately. The use of a circular disk
of yellowish glass with th? gold dis
, tribution has overcome this diffi
| culty completely.”

Dear Folks: about catching
up with personal mail received dur

you who have waited so patiently
will forgive this delay. I have tried
to get shopping • commissions off
promptly and believe that all such
letters have been answered. This
week sees all the rest answered and
finds me anxious to be of further
service.
Cordially yours,
"AUNT JULIA.
Red Roses: My dear girl, I do
think that there is a risk in “forty
and eighteen” marrying, but after
all if you love a. person well enough,
age matters very little, but be sure
that you do love him well enough
to be willing to grow old with him,
for he will be old while you will be
in the prime of life. I think eight
een is too young to marry anyway.
Can’t you wait a couple of years
and find if this is the “real love
of your life?” If you a.re engaged
to him and seriously intend marry
ing him, you can certainly give him
a more elaborate present than you
would to an acquaintance. Why not
a sterling silver belt buckle, a fine
bill fold, a good pair of cuff Jinks?
Satin, felt and even velvet hats are
seen on the streets now, but I am
clinging to my suipmer hat as long
as possible. Winter is so long. A
blue velvet hat with a smart trim
ming would be good, people with
blue eyes always find blue hats most
becoming; you could wear one of
the new browns.
Mrs. T. P. Weeks, Towns, Ga.:
Send me a stamped addressed en
velope and I’ll send you the name
of a reliable person to do the work
you desire.
X. Y. Z.: For dress wear black
satin slippers are good, for all-round
wear, good black or brown kid. I
prefer the brown if I am to have
two pairs of slippers. In the late
fall you can wear your winter coat
in Atlanta. Tn the early fall I wear
the coat 1 purchased in the spring,
that is heavy enough. Fabric gloves
are worn a great deal, though the-
I<id glove is always good. The flat
envelope arm bag is the latest thing
in pocketbooks; it is quite large.
Mrs. L.: I think you are wise to
use “leave overs” for the beginning
of the little folks' school year. I
am going to get information right
away about “school togs,” and will
give it in this department in the
next week or two. Winter clothes
bought so far ahead of real winter
weather get so shabby before time
to change to spring.
Joan: Have a. luncheon for your
friend who marries in,the early fall.
You can, if you wish, give her a
“shower” at the same time. While
you are at lunch have a big basket
filled with the gifts brought by her
friends, placed in your sitting room,
that is, unless your dining room and
sitting room open into each other;
if the latter is the case have the
basket brought in immediately after
the lunch. I say big basket, for if it
is to be a “kitchen shower” it takes
a big basket to carry the gifts. Get
up a. clever, humorous presentation
speech. After the gifts are present
ed, drink the health of the bride
and groom In fruit punch. A good
cook book is an excellent gift at
a kitchen shower.

Watson, Ala.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Perhaps you
have forgotten me, but I was a frequent
contributor to the Letter Box two years ago.
Needless to say, I have never lost Interest
in it or the many eousins who wrote me.
Talking about ideals. I want a wife who is
self-respecting, not ugly and not too good
to work. Size, type, style of hair dressing
and color of eyes do not matter, but I'd
prefer her no older than myself (twenty
years at present—l will be twenty Septem
ber 12, and this will hardly get in before
then). Well, that's settled, so I. want to
make an offer to the cousins who like to
read. I have a lot of magazines that I
havelread. Any of you who happen to want
some of them can have them by sending
half as many 1-cent stamps as you want
magazines. That is, send 1 cent for two, 2
cents for four, and so on. They are small
papers, but the publishers charge from 25c
to $1 a year for them. No. auntie. I'm not
trying to sell them; I want to give them
away and haven't the postage to send chem
all. There are hundreds of them, quite
enough for all who want them, and the cost
of mailing them would be fierce if I had
to stand it all. Well, everybody write who
can and I’ll answer all I ean. Yours.

been growing since I left you. I help wi h
the housework and also work in the field a

by rainy weather in June and July. It
rained nearly every day for a month. AU
the bridges were dangerous—a lot of them
washed away—and we could not go any

the crises of life,
to whom she can sob out her
troubles, who will close the eyes of
her dead and take her new-born babe
into her arms, and who has proved
her loyalty and devotion all the way
from taking care of her children to
lending her her best hat.
And there are millions of women
whose hearts cleave unto some other
woman’s as David’s did to Jona
than’s, and.who love each other with
a love passing that of sisters. For
there is a spiritual kinship that is
stranget - than any blood tie, and very
often woman friends are knit to
gether by bonds of congeniality that
are stronger than any ties that bind
them to their own families.
It is generally held that men alone
have the gift for friendship, but my
observation has been that women are
much more tenacious of friendships
than men are. Women keep up with
their old friends far better than men
do. Women’s friends mean more to
them than men’s do, and Sally Da
mon and Susan Pythias elect to live
together far oftener than do Damon
and Pythias.
No time-frazzled superstition has
less of a leg to stand on than has
the one that pictures women as a
bunch of cats, eternally clawing and
spitting at each other, and filled with
a venomous hatred of every member
of their sex.
So far from this being the case,
women have almost too much sex
solidarity. They are too apt to es
pouse the woman’s side of a cause
without regard to its worth, and the
society of their own sex is absolutely
essential to them. They cannot live

It is often said that a man is a
better friend to a woman than an
other woman is. This is another
moss-grown fallacy. A man’s friend

woman is virtually always un

through and recited the Child's Catechisn,
for which 1 received a Testament and the
Shorter catechism, and received a handsome
Bible with my name on it in gold letters.
You may know by that that. I’m a Presby
terian. Miss Gladys Mcßrayer, of Tempie,
Ga., you and I differ very much on bobbed
hair. 1 think it is the worst thing that ’kuS
ever hit this country. it was the flapper
that started it, and the flappers through
here that kept it up, although some mighty
good girls have theirs bobbed just to be n
style. I’ve heard boys mike fun of fne
bobbed "frizzles.” The apfostle Paul said
in I Cor. 15:15, that a woman's long hair
is a glory to her. So, my dear, the grown
girls would get very mad to be called a 'it
tle girl because of her Ixibbed hair. If ‘his
letter Is printed I will make another call.
I do lots of writing, as I'm local writer for
two country newspapers. Love to all the

DR W J. McCRARY, Inc..
may have a very honest platonic
affection for a woman, and as long
as she is well and gay and bright
and entertaining and interested in
him and his affairs, he will camp
of an evening in her living room,
and he glad to do her any little
kindly service he can.
But let the woman meet with mis
fortune. Let her become sickly and
poor and bedraggled, a. fountain of
tears and a hard-luck record, and
the man will flee from her as he
would from a. pest, and threaten to
fire any office boy who lets her get
past his door. He is willing to send
her a check in the name of friend
ship, but he will not give her the
friendship that means personal sac
rifice.
It is the woman friend, not the
man friend, who goes to a woman
when she is down and out, who lets i
her weep out her misery on her 1
breast, and listens with the patience
of Job while the self-centered as- i
flicted one recites for the millionth
time her litany of woes.
Another ancient myth is that '
women are hard on other women. !
Not so. Women are far more ready
to forgive a fallen sister than men
are. Men may be willing to asso
ciate with the Magdalene themselves,
but they will not have her touch '
their womankind. It is women who
run all of the philanthropic associa
tions for the help of their sex; wom
en who have g-otten the laws passed
protecting working women and
young girls; women who get up the
money for summer camps and sum
mer vacation places for poor girls,
and who maintain women’s hospitals
and clinics where they may go for
treatment when they are ill.
In a large experience of business
women I have known very few who |
did not gladly do what they could
do to help in training a young girl
who was just starting out to make
her own living - . I have known very
few who were not always on the
watch to help some other girl get
a better place, and I have hardly
known a case of a girl falling- sick
or losing hfrr job where the women
among whom' she worked did not
dig down into their thin purses and
help her out.
Os course, women talk about each
other. They gossip. They repeat
scandal. They are envious and jeal
ous and selfish, and they fight for
the thing they want, particularly
when that thing- is a man.
But that is just being human.
Women do not criticize each other
any more than men do. Just as
many men call each other liars and
windbag's as women call attention
to some sister woman’s complexion
having come out of the drug store,
and her age being a tarrididdle. Men
grab the prizes they covet from
each other if they .can, and when
it comes to the women they desire
it is each for himself, and the devil
take the hindermost.
The old idea that women cannot
have the same sort of friendship
for each other that men have is ab
surd, and it is a pity that so many
people believe it. It makes women
suspicious of each other and keeps
them from enjoying one of the great
est happinesses in life.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Establishing a Poultry Farm in
Georgia
E. A. W., 127 East Sixteenth
street, Jacksonville, Fla., writes:
Would you be kind enough -to
tell me how much it would cost
to get a one-man poultry farm
to comprise ten acres and to ac
commodate a flock of 1,200 lay
ers started, as we are interested
in a. farm in northern Florida,
near the Georgia line, the land
being high and dry, and just as
soon as we are in position to do
so, we want to start in the
chirken business. We have the
pecan trees planted, but we are
anxious to get a plan or picture
of the building that one man
could easily take care of.
It is quite practicable for a one
man poultry farm comprising ten
acres of good Georgia land to accom
modate a flock of 1,200 layers pro
vided the area is properly laid out
and planted in pecan or fruit trees.
Large laying and feed houses must
be provided for, and there must be
an ample range. A pedigree house
and colony brooder houses must also
be provided. A hatchery should also
be included. This equipment can be
provided at a reasonable cost,,
though one undertaking to organ
ize an enterprise of this character 1
should grow into it. Most people
make the mistake of undertaking
to develop a poultry husbandry
plant too quickly and find that they
have not had sufficient experience
to acquaint themselves with the pro
cedure which will enable them to
put a proposition of this character
across satisfactorily.
The plan to which you refer is
put up in poster form and may be
obtained free of cost by any citizen
of the state on application to the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
It represents a summation of the
experience of our poultry husbandry
experts who have given a great deal
of time and thought to the devel
opment -of this plan. I think it is
the best thing' of its kind extant.
Poultrymen everywhere have given
it their strong indorsement.
Facts Relative to Meade Cotton
D. C. T., Monte Cristy, Domi
nican Republic, writes: On April
2 of this year we planted a few
pounds of a cotton named
“Meade,” which will begin open
ing within the next fifteen days.
As this particular type of cotton
apparently fits our climate, and
because of its early maturing
qualities, to a geat extent, will
check the ravages of the pink
boll worm, we are very much in
terested in obtaining all the in
formation possible covering this
cotton. We would appreciate re
ceiving any information you
have concerning Meade cotton.
Meade cotton is a long staple, up
land variety. The first selection ap
pears to have been made at Clarks
ville, Texas, by a man named Meade.
The original selection was from a
variety known locally as “Black Rat
tler.”
This variety was brought to Geor
gia several years ago through the
agency of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture. It was grown in the
Sea Island producing section of the
state. No doubt you recall the fact
that the advent of the boll weevil
eliminated the cultivation of this
strain in Georgia. Our multiplying
plat was established on the farm of
Mr. J. W. Williams, of Statesboro,
Ga. The cotton has sold in this
country as high as 73% cents per
pound, which was one-half a cent
per pound more than the price of
sea island producing section of the
same time. As much as 693 pounds
of lint of this strain have been.gath
ered from an acre. The old content
of the seed was found to run around
24.27 per cent. This variety, there-
tote, has made a total value of
$566.11 per acre.
Meade cotton is an ordinary look
ing strain. The type of plant is very
'similar to that of many other up
land varieties of cotton. Its remark
able characteristics are the size or
the bolls and its earilness of fruiting
and maturity. The fiber is distinctly
superior to most of the other upland,
long staple strains, ana It certainly
seems worthy of extensive cultiva
tion in those sections of the country
which are adapted to its growth. We
regard it as the best of the long
staple, upland varieties with which
we are acquainted. It of course
must be ginned only on a roller gin.
It is a good variety to grow under
boll weevil conditions, because of its
early maturing habits.
We have had no experience with
the pink boll worm and can not
i speak for its adaptability for growth
under such conditions.
