SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Sept. 28, 1924 —Review: The Opening Period of Christ's
Ministry
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever be
lieveth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.” —John
3:16.
The golden text reviews and sums
up the opening period of Christ’s
ministry, and every other period
since. It is difficult to see how the
Hefty Spirit could have packed so
much bito so small a space as is
occupied by these words. One has
said of John 3:10 that it contains the
greatest possible gift to the greatest
possible number from the greatest
possible source for the greatest pos
sible time, and in the easiest pos
sible way.
Probably more sermons have been
preached from this text than from
any other text in the Bible, and no
doubt more souls have befn won to
Christ by means of it than by any
otner. Nothing new clan be said
about it, nor shall "e attempt any
’ thing more than a simple study of
it today because it seems to be the
best way to review the studies of
th.'; last quarter. But, as ever, we
hop! that by this study some will
eaten a new vision of Jesus Chr.st
and yield their lives to Him, some
even who are now His professed
followers, but who may be follow
ing afar off and not fully.
A Unique Personality
\ These words are concerning the
“only Begotten Son,’’ God’s only
Son. He is, therefore,
There are many creatioijfe
of njrod. Angels are called in tIW
Bible “sons of God.” In this sensd,
even the devil himself is one of the
so**-- of God. In Job 1:6 we read:
“Now mere was a day when the
sons of God came to present them
, selves before the Lord, and Satan
came also among them.” Angels
who had sinned—the devil’s angels,
mind you—are, called' sons of God
in Gen. 6:2. In fact it was as a
result of their marriage with the
daughters of men that God had to
bring about the judgment of the
flood and wipe away their progeny
from the earth. "Men and women
who have come into vital relation
ship with Christ, who are born
again ones, born of God, are sons
of God. But in no sense are these
to be classed with Jesus Christ, for
He was the only begotten Son of
God. His was a unique person-
♦ ality.
It became necessary in the fulness
of time that there should be a man
who would do all of God’s will; a
man who was free from the taint
of inherited sin; a pan who, sin
apart, could be tempted in all points
like as we are and yet not yield
to the tempter; a man, who after
having lived a perfect life, could
/ and would willingly die as a sub
stitute for men who had sinned, and
who were not able to meet the de
mands of divine justice; a man who
would not be held by death,' but
• live again that He might insure
Jife to others.
There was no such man on earth;
nor could earth produce such a
man. An angel couldn’t be a sub
stitute for a man. No man born
by the ordinary process of genera
tion could meet these demands. God
was in a pickle—He loved men; He
wanted to save them; He did not
want them to die; above all He
’craved their companionship, for He
had created man originally for that
purpose. It was man who had put
Him in this predicament; for man
had willfully refused to do His will,
after the consequences of this dis
obedience had been plainly stated to
Him.
But God'“SO” loved, He wasn't
willing to stay in this predicament.
£That little word “so” in this verse
is the biggest word in the Bible
and and in the world. He “so”
loved that lie found away out, a
way by means of which He might
save men and yet offend His. in
herent sense of right, away to be
merciful and just at the same time.
The price was great, but He “so”
loved that He was willing to pay it
—God Himself would become man,
live a perfect life, die as a substi
tute, and live again that others
might live! i
Therefore, according to prophecy,
a virgin was overshadowed by the
Holy Ghost; and there began to be
formed in her womb a man-child,
that holy thing to he born of her
# which should be called the Son of
God. The body of Jesus was the
result of the Holy Spirit’s opera
tion (Heb. 10:5). A new creation
was the result. As Adam had been
created without the intervention of
eithet* man or woman, and Eve
without the intervention of woman;
so Jesus Christ the Second Adam, a
new creation, was created without
the Intervention of man. No other
man could have been able to meet
laj* demands. This Man was unique,
’ t>e Tiod-Man.
All of His ministry that wo have
been t studying proves His unique
personality. His baptism was un
like the others because of the tes
timony of the Holy Spirit at that
time. He resisted the devil when
all others had yielded. His cleans
ing of the temple would have been
resented with violence had He been
a mere man. Turning the water

THE ATLANTA TRIWEEKLY JOURNAL
Into wine, healing a boy twenty
miles away, cleansing lepers, cast
ing out demons and haying them
acknowledge their subjection to
Him—these and many more de
termine the fact that His was a
unique personality, the only begot
ten Son of God.
An Unparalleled Gift
And whfen one thinks that this
unique personality came into ex
istence because God “so” loved that
He gave, we can begin to appre
ciate that this was an unparalleled
gift. A man might love a friend
very greatly, great enough even to
give up his life. Every mother does
.this potentially when she endangers
her own life in giving birth to her
child; and it is the exceptional
mother whose love is so weak that
she would gladly give her life for
her offspring later. But God com
mendeth His love toward us in that
while were yet sinners, Christ
died for us; for God was in Christ
reconciling the world unto Himself.
I wonder if it has yet begun to
dawn upon you how marvelously
great the love of God for you is?
Os course you can never fathom its
depths and scale its heights or meas
ure its length and breadth, for it
passes knowledge. But have you
begun to catch a glimpse of His
yearning to have you come back
and nestle in His arms? Well, it
was so great, so overpowering,
that He gave His only begotten
Son! It was an unparalleled gift!
And it was all of grace, all unde
served on your part, which makes
the gift much greater.
An Unlimited Gospel
It was the greatest possible gift
from the greatest possible source to
the greatest possible number. “The
world” and “whosoever.” We Amer
icans are rather inclined to think
that God loved us a bit better than
He did any one else and made this
gift to us. And from what we know
of the English, we are quite sure
they feel God loved them a bit bet
ter and tolerates others. And the
Japs feel quite the same way about
themselves. The white races are
quite sure God made His marvelous
provision for them, but are a trifle
doubtful about the same gracious
gift belonging equally to the dark
skin, the red man, the yellow races.
The Book is very explicit, how
ever. “For God so loved the world”
—no discrimination here; no re
specting of persons here. There
isn’t a man, womart or child—
plack, white, yellow, red or brown;
poor or rich; idiot or genius; cul
tured or coarse; educated or ig
norant; strong or weak; sick or well;
yielding or rebellious; past, present
or future—that is not included in
God's “SO” love. He is not willing
that any should perish. He wants
the fellowship forever of every one
in the world. Therefore, His provi
sion is unlimited. “Whosoever” has
no color line, no conditions, no
geographical boundaries. It is an un
limited gospel! »
Yet it is limited; limited to who
soever “believeth.” God has done
all that is necessary; He cannot do
more. He cannot do your part. He
has made ample provision in the
grist; but only those can enjoy the
privileges of the gift who will re
ceive it. He will not force it on any
one. Everybody in the world can
be saved, because Christ's death
was sufficient to meet all the de
mands of God's justice and holiness
and His mercy is unfailing; but
only those will be saved who take
advantage of the gift. The state of
Georgia offers free education to all
of its citizens; but only ’those en
joy its privileges who will take
what the state offers to give with
out money and without price.
Here is the tragedy of it! The
terrible price that Jesus paid in His
death on the cross will be for noth
ing to a vast number because they
will not believe and receive!

All Dumb Things”
Rules

No letter written on both sides of
paper printed.
All letters not to exceed' 150 to
200 words.
Dear Children: I want, to tell you
what a young friend of mine has
done. He realized that when his
father and mother sent him to
school they put a hardship on them
selves in two ways; first, it cost them
quite a bit of money to get him suit
able clothes and then his books add
ed to the cost.
Os bourse, he had always had small
chores to do, and when he left these
undone to go to school, and after
school to study, why that left just
so much more work on his mother
and father to do. This boy had a
real conscience, and he made up his
mind that he'd figure out some way
to really help. He knew that both
his father and mother were so am
bitious for him to succeed in his les
sons that they would not take his
time away from his study and that
they were equally anxious about his
health, so some time had to be given
to recreation. This is the tvay he
figured it out. Just fifteen minutes
before each meal he gave to chop
ping up kindling, bringing in wood,
taking out garbage.. The latter, of
course, was given, if suitable to ei
ther, chickens or pigs.
Now you wouldn’t think he could
do so much in just fifteen minutes
before each meal, but he keeps plen
ty of kindling nicely split and stack
ed and plenty of stove and fireplace
wood in the shed and in the kitchen
and there is never any disagreeable
garbage for his,-'mother to struggle
with. His parents agree that he
is helping a lot, learning a lot,
among other things unselfishness,
and that the exercise makes him
even healthier. I thought what he
had done might help you boys to do
the same things if you were so sit
uated.
Lovingly,
__ AUNT JULIA.

Dear Folks; Quite a while ago I
had a request for a lotion made,
from the juice of the cucumber, or
at least combined with this juice. I
hunted everywhere for a good rule
and could not find one. The other
cay I came across the one I am giv
ing today and I am sure, coming
from the source it did, that it is
good, so am going to give it here.
Then everybody can' clip it out and
keep it for future use. Cordially
yeurs, AUNT JULIA.
Cucumber Milk
Three or four cucumbers (large),
slice with the .skin on, add one-half
pint of water, boil and stir to a soft
pulp, and strain. M.ix 1 1-2 ounces
of .95 per cent grain alcohol and 1-4
ounce castile soap. Let stand in a
warm place over night. Next day.
add 8 ounces of the cucumber juice,
1 ounce of oil of sweet almonds, 20
drops of tincture of benzoin and 5
grains of boric acid. Shake well be
fore using and apply two or three
times a day to the faq e with a soft
cloth. It is likely that you will have
tc have this mixed for you, at least
the first part, at- a drug store for
you may not be able to get the
pure grain alcohol.
Jenny Lee: The above is the cu
cumber mills, an <l the cucumber lo
tion is much simpler, so am giving
you that as well. Soak slices of cu
cumber in 1 pint of sweet milk for
two hours, then use to bathe face
hands and arms. Os course, you
realize that this* has to be made
f*esh whenever used; it will not
keep.
Mary Ann, Alabama: Stuffed
eggs are so nice for Sunday night
.supper. Try this rule for making
them. Boil eggs hard, cut in half,
lengthwise; remove the yolks, mash
yolks with a fork, add finely chop
ped sweet pickle salt and pepper
and a little melted butter or mayon
naise if you prefer. Mold into balls
of a size to fit the cavity in the
white of the egg. You can lightly
dust these over with paprika, and
stick a bit of parsely upright in the
middle, if you wish to have a dressy
dish.
Jean A.: I do not really like very
high heels for the street, but in
honesty I am obliged to tell you that
the girls are wearing the cunning
est little soft tan kid slippers, quite
plain, but with high Spanish heels.
Now you know there is vast differ
ence between the curved in French
heel and the Spanish. I like the lat
ter best. •
Mrs. J. M. Kluttz, of Georgeville

Jackson S. Kluttz. She says he is
seventeen years old, a good-looking,
red-headed boy. She last heard from
him in Dudley,__Mo.
Eloise L. T.; Frankly, I do not
think it will hurt your hair to bob
it. In fact, I think that bobbing the
hair is purely a matter of taste.
Take my advice on this, however:
Do not have your hair cut in any
extreme style. That Avill surely go
out, while I believe that the conserv
ative bob is here to stay for qui’e a
while, -
Fj Cousins, tfTU knew w/d be
loved by anybody, what would we wuit to
live for? But we are all loved, if not bj
people, we are loved by a far deeper love,
we are loved by our Father God. So, don t
ever say you are not loved, for you ate.
Christ died for you because lie loved you.
Cousins, if tiere is a sinner among you
please listen to this: Do you love Christ.
Won’t you accept Him as your Savior. I m
clad I’ve made my peace with God. I ,a '.‘'
no fear of a future life for I know a.l is
well I shall have peace and a perfect .toy.
What a glqrious thought. I'll close witii n
little song:
LOVE ME NOW
If you're ever going to love itie.
Love me now, so I can Know
All the warm and tender le-.'ling’
From which real affection ;iqw».
Love me now. while I am living;
Do not wait till I am cone
And then chisel it on marble,
Warm loved words on ice cold stone,
If you have dear thoughts about me,
Why not whisper them to me?
Surely they will make me happy
Anil as glad as glad can be.
If you wait till 1 am sleeping.
Never more to wake again.
There'll be .vails of earth between us.
And I cannot hear them then.
If vou knew someone was thirsting
For a drink of water sweet.
Would you then be slow to bring it,
Would’ you stop with laggard feet?
There's a tender heart right near you
That is thirsting for your love.
Why should you refuse to give her
That which God sent from above?
I won't need your fond caresses
When the grass grows over my face.
I won't want your love and kisses
In my last long resting place.
So it you are going to love me —
If it’s but a little bit—
Won't you love me while I’m living,
So that 1 can treasure it?
Oh, I've enjoyed my visit so much, but I
must go. Would like to hear from all
vou cousins. An oid cousin.

just as good as mother in away, isn’t lie?
Cousins, they are O-r best friends on earth.
Aren’t they? (Mir father toils from sun to
sun for uur pleasure, and is willing to help
us in any way. But mother is the dearest
woman in the world to me. She always
greets us with a smile, and is ready to do
anything for us. isn't she? So. cousins, let
us love mother and fattier both, and be
good and kind to them while they're living
for when they are gone there will be not
one to take their places.

D6AR MISS are en

young lady is twenty, ’beautiful
and full of life. I am twenty-five,
and a. very old person for that age,
poor, fat and homely.
Os course, I am crazy about the
girl and she says that ghe loves me
and ha« proved it in ; many jways,
' but she could do
much better in
getting a hus
band than she
is in getting me.
Suppose' she
comes to realize
that? In other
words, I am
getting a bar

not. What do
you think of it?

very level-headed young person, Jo
seph, and that she is making no mis
take in choosing you. I think that
any girl who gets a husband who
admires her, and looks up to her,
and considers her happiness before
his own, is getting the very best
bargain that is in the matrimonial
market and that Lady Luck is her
twin sister, for most men in these
days seem to think that they con
fer a favor on a, woman by marry
ing her, and that she should be
down on her knees in grutitude to
them ever after.
You don't see why the girl loves
you because you are poor and fat
and homely. Well, you know wom
en have more sense in love than
men have, and a. woman doesn't just
look at the outside of an individual,
as a man does, and marry for that.
Any pretty face can catch a man.
All that a man asks before marriage
is that the girl have a peipches-and
cream complexion and a slim, wil
lowy figure. He doesn't even try
to find out whether she has got any
sense in her head or any love and
tenderness in her heart.
But women look into a man’s soul,
and if that is beautiful it doesn't
make any difference to them wheth
er he looks like a sheik or has won
the ugly man’s medal. Nor do they
care, if he is intelligent and inter
esting, whether he has got varnish
ed hair or a head as bald as an egg.
As for keeping the girl’s love after
marriage, that is a chance' that
every roan takes on the one) they
marry. But it isn’t hard to (retain
a wife’s affection. Just be gdod to
her and keep burning incense at her
shrine and you can't lose her.

Dear Dorothy Dix—l have been
keeping company with a man for
two years. We dearly love each
other, but this man has never asked
me to marry him, although he
speaks vaguely of our being happy
together some time. Would you con
sider yourself engaged in a case like
this? This man is amply able to
marry. H-e is in business for him
self, is well off, and we are both
twenty-six years of age.
I do not like to ask him what his
intentions are, as I am afraid he
of the cousins take subjects: to unite on. I
think that js very good and some arc so in
teresting. But I'm afraid to attempt it,
for my subject would probably be song
writing and the cousins would say : ‘ What
a funny subject.” I'm intensely interested
in music and for pastime and also for profit,
I write lyrics.. Just got a bunch of profes

who knows but what I’ll get personally ac

Aunt Julia says be brief, so I'll go. But all

would throw it up to me after we !
were married. What do you think
of this situation?
A DAILY READER.
Answer: Certainly you are not en
gaged to the man. Before a wom
an is engaged to a man he has to
make a definite open-and-shut matri
monial proposition, and this man
has never asked you to be his wife.
I should say he was a trifler, and
that he merely wanted some woman
who would love him and flatter him,
and entertain him, and whom he
could monopolize without burdening
himself with her support or having
to stand for any of the restrictions
of married life.
The old story about the French
man who refused to marry the girl
to whom he was engaged because,
if he did so, he would have no pleas
ant place in which to spend his eve
nings has many counterparts in real
life. Many men enjoy feminine so
ciety that they can have in broken
doses to suit their taste and for
which they do not have to pay with
a wedding- ring', and many men have
their vanity tickled by being loved.
They like to do a little lovemaking
themselves if it commits them to
nothing.
Your own common sense must tell
you that this man, who is able to
marry, does not really want you, or
else he would name the wedding day.
An ardent lover doesn’t dilly-dally
and talk vaguely about future bliss.
He grabs the girl he desires and
rushes ivith her to the altar.
Certainly I think you should ask
this man what he means to do and
make him either put up or shut up.
He will respect you more for it than
lie will for being an easy mark.

Dear Miss Dix—Among my ac
quaintances is a man who has al
ways seemed to be a gentleman. Re
cently he exteiuiea an invitation to
me to go away for a week-end with
him. To me there is only one mean
ing in a proposition such as that,
and I indignantly refused. When I
■ told him I considered it an insult he
j said that I was evil-minded, and that
|he never intended anything that
wasn't perfectly proper. Dofi’t you
think I was right? HELEN.
Answer: Absolutely, and it isn’t
an evil mind, it is common sense,
and common prudence and decency
that makes a woman look upon such
; an invitation as a gross affront,
i Such excursions are simply the
! thing that are not done by respecta
j ble'young women.
Os course, to the pure all things
i are pure, and it is perfectly possible
I for a man and woman to spend an
i entirely proper week-end together
I platonically discussing Shakjespeare
and the musical glasses, but it would
take a great deal to convince a cyni
cal world of the fact.
“Be thou pure as ice and chaste
. as snow, thou shalt not escape cal
umny.” Especially when you give
] cause for Mrs. Grundy to suspicion
the worst, and as long as hotel reg
isters are admitted evidence in the
chronicles of scandal, a young wom
an needs a chaperon when she goes
week-ending with any man outside
of her own immediate family.
For this is a censorious world, in
■ which aVgirl has to watch her step.
! It isn't enough for her just to be
I good; she has to act good.

I see everybody takes n subject to write

would be on friendship. I think friendship
is the greatest thing in the world. 1 hear
everybody asking who is that bobbed-headed

light brown hair, and my age is between
thirteen and eighteen. To the one guessing
it correctly, I will send one of my pictures.
Will some one be kind enough to send me
the song. “Meet Me in the Moonlight Alone,”
please write it off and send it to me. I
will return the favor in any way I can, for

I goes like this:
“Meet me, Oli meet me. by moonlight,

Senator Harris Files
Cotton Report Protest;
Points to Depression
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.—Com
plaint has been made to :he depart
ment of agriculture that its report
of cotton crop estimates has unjust
ly depressed the market, Senator
Harris. Democrat, Georgia, an
nounced today.
“Cotton has dropped S4O a bale
without any reason,” he said. “In
the state of Georgia the crop deteri
oration was twice as great as the
department’s report, and I have rea
son to believe that this condition
exists throughout the belt.
“Such practices on the part of
speculators,” he declared, “will
force the passage at the n-.-xt sesson
of congress of the Caraway bill,
which would make it a penal offense
to trade on the exchanges in cotten
futures without the actual delivery

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Why Pecan Trees Shed Their Fruit
V. A. N., Ashburn, Ga., writes:
‘I have ten or twelve pecan trees
and three or four of them are
shedding all their fruit. Would
like to know what the trouble is
and remedy to apply to save next
year’s crop. They were fertiliz
ed in December with about three
hundred nounds stable manure
with some oat and wheat straw.
In February, I dug in twenty
five pounds of 8-4-4 truck fer
tilizer to each tree. The nuts do
not show any signs of insects, so
figure there is some elemcn*-
lacking in the food the tree 13
getting.
Presumably, the nuts on your
pecan trees have been attacked by
what is known as “scab.” This
trouble arises from their infestation
by a fungus which attacks not only
the leaves and sprigs, but the nuts
as well. In case of a severe infes
tation. the nuts may be rendered
worthless,. Sometimes they fall pre
maturely to the ground, or they may
even hang on the trees until the
leaves have fallen. This disease is
evidenced by dark spots which ap
pear on the husks and cause them to
harden and crack. Some varieties
are much more subject to this dis
ease than others. Damage from this
source is much greater during wet
seasons than in an average year.
The trees are also subject to this
disease when they are planted on
poorly drained lands. ’ One of the
best ways to obviate Joss from this
source is to propagate those strains
of this tree that are most resistant
to this disease.
The best method of fighting this*
trouble is through the use of Bor
deaux mixture. This spray may be
prepared as follows:
Take three pounds of copper sul
phate and dissolve in twenty J fiv)
gallons of water. Next, slake six
pounds of stone lime and make up
to twenty-five gallons with water.
Pour the two solutions simultaneous
ly into a third barrel through’ a
strainer. This will give you fifty
gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Keep
this solution agitated and apply
promptly to the trees in the form of
a fine spray or mist. The thorough
coating of the trees is necessary.
Apparently, you fertilized these
trees quite liberally, and they should
respond to the treatment you have
accorded them. You should exam
ine your trees carefully to make sure
that they have not been attacked by
borers. In case they have, destroy
the borers. You should also make
observations as to tie presence of
the pecan case bearer, and, if you
find evidence of their having attack
ed your trees, spray them at once
with arsenate of lead. No doubt you
are acquainted with this formula and
also understand how to use it so as
to secure the best results from its
application.
Ihe Yield of Coin in Georgia
M. O.; R-4, Box 48, Hawarden,
lowa, writes: I see in your re
print bulletin 223 that the yield
of corn is too low in Georgia to
use corn for the main fattening
crop for hogs. YVhat is the rea
son that you have a yield of
only fifteen bushels compared*
with, thirty-seven for lowa, ac
cording to the United States
yearbook of agriculture for 1920?
1 have had an idea that I could
raise big crops of corn in Geor
gia, following by a cattle pas
tured crop of melilotus alba, the
soil to be limed and inoculated
before the melilotus albo was
sown. Do you think lam right?
I have been growing and experi
menting with four different”*
kinds of sweet clover for several
years.
The soils of Georgia consist for the
most part of disintegrated granite
and micoschists. The soils of lowa
consist principally of what was once
the bottom of a great ijiland lake, or
essentially a lake. This area has
been enriched by the constant decay
of a rank vegetation for a period of
several thousand years; whereas,
the elevated tablelands of Georgia
have been subject to constant wash
ing and erosion. The soils of this
state are therefore rather low in
vegetable matter and not as richly
supplied with the mineral elements
as in your section. On the> other
hand, there Ls no reason why you
should not raise thirty bushels and

more of corn per acre in Georgia.
Good farmers average thirty-five to
forty bushels.
You must remember that in this
state there are a good many cotton
farmers. With them, corn is a mas
ter of secondary importance. Their
best land is planted to cotton; their
poorest, to corn. Their cotton is
planted and cared for first. Their
corn occupies second place in their
minds. Air this being true, you can
readily see that the attention which
has been given to the growing of
corn in lowa has often been lack
ing in Georgia.
On the college farm here, which
was once, an old, wornout, cotton
there are now growing
sixty acres of alfalfa. From this
land we harvest from twelve to fif
teen tons of silage per acre. We
are also obtaining three-fourths of a
bale of cotton and upwards per acre
even under boll weevil conditions,
and from thirty-five to sixty bushels
of corn per acre. We also grow
cereals to excellent advantage in
the winter and a greater variety of
grain and forage crops than you
could possibly raise In lowa. This
is a state in which leguminous crops
may be made to predominate and the
, soils can thus be enriched through
the establishment of a good rotation.
system of farm crops. Melilotus alba
or sweet cloyer has not been grown
to any appreciable extent as yet in
this state. Lime and inoculation
would no doubt help to establish
' this crop in Georgia in a compara
tively short time.
