SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Oct. 26, 1924 —The. Stilling of the Storm —Mark 4:35-41
* BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golg.ii Text: “Who is this, that
even the wind and Hie sea obey
Him.” Mark 1:41.
The crowds that gathered about
Jesus were so great that He had to
use a boat for a pulpit. After giv
ing the parablesj of the kingdom,
Jasus told His disciples to cross over
on the other side of the lake. So
launched forth.
The Sleeper
jßut as they sailed, says Luke, He
. leil asleep. He was so exhausted;
’ the demands upon His strength and
sympathy had been very great. The
cool lake breezes, the lapping of the
■water along the sides the ship and
the quiet of the evenjng hour were
soothing to His weary body and He
fell asleep.
There was no reason for Him to
stay awake. Peter and James and
John and Andrew and the others
. were all experienced sailors. They
had been raised on that lake, they ,
knew all about handling their boat,
and there was no need for His di
rection. Jesus leaves us to do all we
qsw tor ourselves; it is only when we
have reached our limit that He steps
in and takes cpntrol.
He slept soundly, too, even though i
a terrific storm had arisen. The noise
of the wind, the raging of the waves,
the voices of the disciples as they
shouted one to another didn't
awaken Him. He was sleeping just
5 as soundly and as peacefully as a
babe in a cradle.
> The Storm
The lake of Genessaret is noted for
the suddenness of its storms. It
nestles in a bowl made by mountains
all around it; it is slightly below sea
level and in the cleft of the Jordan
' valley between the ranges of moun
tains running north and south on
either side; it is apt to grow hot. The
y.Jhea.t and moisture from the lake ris
(jpLng strikes the cooler air of the
mountain tops and a storm follows.
These storms usually come up very
suddenly, and often with great vio
lence.
The storm on this particular dn”.
however, was unusual in its violence.
There came down a storm of wind
on the lake with such suddenness
end violence that the boat began to
fill with water and its passengers
were in jeopardy. The waves beat
over the boat and filled it faster than
-j the sailors could bail it out. Every
Than had as much or more than he
could do, to get down the rigging, to
tie it to the masts, to bail out the
water and steer the ship against the
roaring sea.
To get some idea of the violence of
it, we must just see that even these
men who had been raised on this
lake, and were thoroughly accus
tomed to its storms, saw they were
fighting a losing battle. In their ex
■ tremity and distress they came to
Jesus, asleep on a cushion in the
( stern. They waked. Him up and
said: "Lord, save us, we are perish
ing.” "Master careSt Thou not that
We perish? Master, Master, we
are perishing.” (So are the thi-ee ac
counts; no doubt all said by differ
ent disciples.) They had never seen
a storm like this before.
The Silence
Jesus got up, rebuked the wind,
and said to the sea: "Silence, be
quiet.” And in a moment there
was not enough breeze stirring to
drive a feather, and the sea was
f like a mirror. There was a great
calm.
• Then Jesus rebuked His disciples:
"Why are ye so fearful? And how
is it that ye have no faith?” Do
you think it was possible to sink any
ship in which I was traveling? Do
you not remember that I command
ed you to cross over to the other
side? Did you think I would let
anything interfere with the comple
tion of my command? We are only
i part of the way across; how is i-*.
that you had not faith enough to be-
I lieve that in spite of any wind or
storm, you couldn’t have completed
my orders? Have you not learned
yet who I am after all these
months of association and teaching?
The Spirits
No, this was no ordinary storm.
"We must not blame those disciples
too much, for we would have been
just as afraid or worse. Never had
they seen anything like it, and here
f is the reason:
On that ship, and on the others
that were following His, were gath
, ered what we would call today the
whole church. Jesus and His
disciples were there. It was an op
portunity for the devil to wipe out
everything at one fell swoop. So, as
prince of the power of the air, the
devil was responsible for that storm.
Never a day in the whole life of
Jesus was He free from the attacks
of the devil. He knew that Jesus
was his greatest antagonist, and he
f fought against Him desperately ev
ery day. On this occasion he felt
that he could be successful and he
could have ’been if Jesus had been
nothing but a mere man. No man,
however pure and powerful, could
have stilled that storm. Every boat
on that lake would have sunk and
every passenger drowned had it not
been for the presence of Ono, who
but more than man, the
HOPfRIan.
probably nothing in Jesus’
• life demonstrated more forcefully the
fact that He is God, as well as man,
this power over wind and wave
• which He displayed on that occasion.

It is interesting to study the
words He used in speaking to the
wind and to the waves. The word
"rebuked” is the ono'used elsewhere
in "calling down” a person; and the
word “Peace” (or "Silence," which
would have been a better transla
tion), is the word used in speaking
to a dumb brute. It is the silence
which comes involuntarily, because
you cannot speak, not that which
' comes voluntarily, because you will
not speak. Jesus here spoke to the
wind as to a personality and to the
waves as to a howling brute.
There’s a reason: Little do we an
: preciate the fact that all about us
( in the air are numberless spirits.
These are the emissaries of the devil,
I a mighty army magnificently train
i ed and disciplined, ready at a mo
( ment’s notice to carry out the com-
I mands of their leader. “We wrestle
( not against flesh and blood"—that
I would give us a. deal more of a
i chance —“but against principalities.
! against powers, against the rulers of
this world-darkness, against wicked
spirits in heavenly places.” It was
through the activity of these wicked
spirits that that wind was blowing
so fiercely and that those waves
were beating furiously and high.
When Jesus rebuked the wind and
said to the waves as to a dumb
brute, “Silence,” He spoke to the
spirits of the devil who were caus
ing it. Immediately the calm came,
for He as God, as supreme power
over every created being, even
though these are in rebellion against
Him. He calmed that storm exact
ly in the same way He calmed that
raging demoniac—through His pow
er over the spirits.
And how did Jesus as a man have
that power? Everything that Jesus
did on earth was by the Holy Spirit,
whom God gave to Him without
measure. His human body was the
result of the operation of the Holy
Spirit in the womb of the Virgin
Mary; His life was lived in the full
ness of the Spirit of God; when He
was baptized the Holy Spirit des
cended upon Him and abode. It was
by the Spirit that He lived every
moment and could say, "I do always
the things that please Him (God).”
So on the lake that day ti was
merely ,a contest oC Spirits—the
wicked spirits under the leadership
of the devil on one side, and the
Spirit of God resting upon and
working through the man, Jesus, i
the Christ, on the other. It was
a contest quickly decided—just a
word of rebuke from Him was all
that was needed. He never yet has
lost a battle with Satan; and He
never will. The devil in this in
stance was trying to kill Him to keep
Him from bruising his head by His
atoning death. The devil is still
a defeated foe but will not own
up to it.
There are terrific storms in your
life, times of testing, times when
the devil is putting out his forces
against you. We are no match for
him, but Jesus is. Shall we not
put all our trust in Him, and let Him
lead us forth to triumph always
over sin?
DAVIS IS ASSURED
OEKEmCWTE;
SENATE RAGE CLOSE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Cony,
right, 1024.)
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 18.—John
W. Davis will carry Kentucky. This
state stood by James M. Cox in 1920,
when even Tennessee brojje away. It
is true the majority was less than
5,000, but it remained in the Demo
cratic column just the same.
There was a. tide of resentment in
1920 which does exist today.
Four years have served to turn back
to the Democratic party many of
those who, for one reason or anoth
er. strayed away. The Jate A. T.
Hert, one of the shrewdest political
organizers, was responsible for the
improvement in the Republican vote
in this state in 1920. No one has
arisen to take his place.
Kentucky is not without its local
issues, however, which may have
I some bearin g on the results. Sena
(tor Augustus Owsley Stanley, who
won the Democratic nomination aft
! era. hard fight, seems to be capable
lof stirring up violent opposition
either on his "wetness” or a half
| dozen other things which started
| when he was governor. He is the
I center of a very exciting campaign.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
owned by Judge R. W. Bingham, is
supporting John W. Davis for presi
dent, but Fred Sackett, the Republi
can nominee, for the senate.
Senatorial Race Close
On account of his anti-prohibition
views Stanley is presumed to have
'the opposition of the women. But
(there is no La Follette candidate in
(these parts, and Stanley will get
most of the votes that are to be cast
in Kentucky for La Follette. This
may take care of some of the Stan
ley losses. He will have a close
fight for re-election. The national
ticket will help him.
The vote this year in Kentucky
will be large. A bond issue for good
roads is being voted upon. That al
ways brings out the voter. The reg
istration thus far in the cities shows
a gain. There is no way to toll
' about the rural districts but a large
i ballot is expected because the Re
| publicans in one end of the state
favor the bond issue while the Dem
! ocrats at the other end oppose it.
‘ The, Republicans who will take the
trouble to come down from the
I mountains to vote probably will
vote a straight Republican ticket for
United States senator and every
thing else..
In the face of all these character
istics, Kentucky may roll up as high
as thirty thousand for John W. Da
vis. and if such a vote is polled Sen
ator Stanley might pull through.
Campaign Slow to Start
Kentucky exhibits little interest
in the campaign as a whole. The
La Follette backers as usual are
making considerable noise and may
: get as high as 100,000 votes in Ken
tucky, though this is a maximum
figure and the probabilities are it
will go much lower. But the La
Follette votes are coming in about
equal proportions from the Demo
cratic and Republican parties, so the
effect on the two major parties will
be about the same.
•! Charles G. Dawes has been here
and John W. Davis will be here
within a week. The campaign seems
hardly to have gotten started. Re
publicans outwardly are claiming the
( state but one suspects that they
are doing this in the hope of gather
ing votes and holding them for the
state ticket. Nobody ever concedes
defeat as a rule, publicly, anyhow.
But the private reports of the Re
publican managers must no doubt
contain many “ifs” and "buts.” as
this state can be put back in the
i solid south column Ulis tune.

the best. Joe Staton, your letter was fine. I
You must come again. I think you are
quite right about the boys making fun of

to. I’ll leave my space for a more gifted

Dear Folks: —
I want to describe to y&a a set
of table mats and napkins I saw
the other day at a smart little tea
shop. They were so attractive and
so easy to make.
The material was an almost orange
yellow, light weight cannon cloth,
the mats had about a quarter inch
hem turned and basted, then run
with the one stitch and for every
four of the stitches was a tiny lazy
daisy stitch. The napkins, of the
same color, had about a half inch
hem and were finished just as the
mats.
The plate mats should be oblong,
with enough room for the cup and
saucer and silver ware, , as well as
the plate. The center mat should
be oblong and of such proportion as
ot make a complete fitting for yout
table. The thread used on these
mats and napkins was a deep brown.
Tais is not an expensive set and
would make a lovely Christmas gift.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Brown Eyes:—■
You 'most certainly should see a
physician, and at once. The con
dition of your complexion is with
out doubt due to your physical con
dition, and that is something that
should receive prompt attention from
the best physician that you can con
sult. You can have your canton
crepe cleaned by an excellent clean
ing house for $1.50 to $2, and if your
dress is in good condition it would
pay you to have this done. Send
me a stamped addressed envelope
and I will send you the names of
several good places to have this
work done.
Mrs. E. B.:— “
Green is not at all becoming to a
person with a. sallow complexion. I
would suggest a medium dark blue
crepe.
Emily:—
My choice for a “wedding-going
away dress” would be a one-piece
crepe, either canton, flat crepe or
satin crepe. Bengaline is extreme
ly good this year and if you are
tired of the crepe effects you can
get an exquisite brown or the new
shutter gbeen in this material as
well as the crepe. A smart black
hat with a brilliant ornament can
be worn with everything and I would
prefer black satin or patent pumps
with light stockings, say biege or
sand or melon. There is a new glove
of genuine chamois skin, selling for
$2.95. These look well and better
still, wash well. Be sure to get a
half size to a size smaller than you
wear in a fabric or kid glove, for
these gloves run large and stretch.
Father:—
It is certainly foolish pride on
your part not being willing for your
boy to work his way through col
lege. If he is willing to work for
an education, he will appreciate it
just that much more. Many boys
that belong to fraternities work
their way through and are liked and
certainly respected by their fellow
students. Look at the boy's side of
the question.
Eunice:—
Score cards can be bought so reas
onably and are so attractive and ar
tistic these days that it is a waste
of time to make them. Send me an
addressed envelope, stamped for a
reply and I will give, you the names
of some good shops carrying these
cards.

for nte many a strange picture of human

for something we can hardly express. I

Ours is the responsibility of molding the
future citizenship of America. In my mark
I atn going to make each yesterday a sweet
memory. I do not believe in quarreling
and nagging children all the time, for there
is nothing I enjoy more than a quiet, peace
ful life. I think that one reason so many
children leave their home is the lack of
- proper treatment. I do not mean to sav
I that the parents are not willing for their
- children to have pleasure, but they just
i fail to understand them. Now, cousins,
: don’t you all agree with me? But, under
stand, I do not think they should be turned
i loose in the world, but a quiet, peaceful
home, with amusements, will cause them to
stay there. Who has nty birthday. October

Cousins, all of you write to me. for I get
awful lonesome sometimes, I will answer

Julia and al! the cousins much good luck.

TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
You Yourself, Mr. Husband, Would
Fight for Personal Freedom —You
Also Realize Your Heart Is
Subject to Change Without
Notice. The Same Things
Are Al so True of Your Wife,
MEN look upon their wives *n
many lights.
Some men regard their wives as
angels to be worshiped. Others re
gard their wives as dolls to be dress-
jd up and played
,vith. Others re
gard their wives
is slaves. Others
regard their wives
is scapegoats, who

I tpon.

But you rarely
see a man regard his wife as a hu
man being. Yet a wife is a human
being first, then a woman and after
that a wife.
If a man regarded his wife as a
human being he would, in many
cases, treat her very differently from
the way he, does treat her, because
he would know that she looked at
certain fundamental things in life
from the same standpoint that he
does instead of getting some curious,
oblique slant on them because she
is a wife that makes her see them
from a different angle from the way
he sees them.
There is the matter of personal
liberty, for instance. A man knows
that the dearest thing to every nor
mal human being is freedom. It is
the one thing for which people will
fight and die and without which they
are miserable, though they have all
else besides.
Yet, knowing this universal desire
for personal liberty, there are mil
lions of men who I never grant their
wives one breath of freedom. They
open their wives’ letters and read
them. Their wives can not even get
a letter from their own mothers
without their being made aware of
its contents. They require their
wives to account to them for every
cent they spend. Their wives can
not buy a bar of soap on their own
initiative. Still less can they pur
chase the kind of a hat they like.
They have got to consult their hus
band’s taste, not their own.
Their wives have to furnish an
alibi for every hour of the day.
Their wives can not join a club or
take a little trip without asking hus
band's permission. Their wives can
not do any single thing unquestion
ed or just because they want to do
it. They have no more liberty than
a. bird in a cage, and the fact that
the. cage is sometimes gilded doesn't
make it any less a. cage.
People often marvel that women
show such Christian fortitude in
bearing the loss of a husband who
was an estimable citizen and a good
provider. It is because many a wom
an draws through her widow’s veil
the first breath of freedom she has
ever had in her life, and that con
soles her for everything else. Sure
ly, if men realized that women yearn
for personal liberty as much as they
do, they would not so often deny it
to their wives.
Tobacco Warehouse
Is Winning Proposal
In Waycross Contest
WAYCROSS, Ga., Oct. 18.—The
erection of one or more tobacco
warehouses before the opening of
the tobacco marketing season next
year was the winning proposal at
the quarterly meeting of the mem
bers council of the chamber of com
merce, the Lions club and the Ki
wan is club.
"We cannot neglect our duty as
the natural geographic center of
the bright leaf tobacco belt of Geor
gia,” Col. D. M. Parker said in
presented the proposal to the body,
as a'representative of the Kiwanis
club. “We stress Waycross—the
center city. We have tried to make
it the educational center of this sec
tion, showing our interest in this
direction in the recent Piedmont
campaign; we are going to try to
make it a. hospital center of south
Georgia and we have already planned
for a hospital campaign. Our privi
lege and our duty is to develop a
central tobacco marketing point for
all this section of the state.”
The tobacc , warehouse project is
not a new one but it. was regarded
by the joint meeting as the most
urgent need of Waycross and th?
adjoining vicinity.
$16,000,000 Sought
From U. S. to Complete
Louisiana Canal Plan
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 18.—
; Two hundred representatives of
more than a score of states, attend
ing the Intracoastal Canal associa
tion convention here, today joined
in demanding that congress appro
( priate $16,000,000 to complete the
( canal that will link New Orleans
with Corpus Christi, Texas.
The canal, said speakers, at the

of freight annually from the great
est salt mines, the largest sulphur
mines, from the cane fields, the
■ phosphate fields, the rice area, the
• steel products of Pittsburg, the flour

Speakers included Congressman
John McDuffie, of Alabama; Con

Congressmna James O’Connor, of
New Orleans: General T. Q. Ash
burn, head of the government wa
terway activities; H. W. Seeman, of

Come over, you boys and girls, and let us I

the Letter Box. and her letter was printed, i
I decided to write a few short lines. I |
guess some of you remember her. Her name '
is Mary Keene. She said tell all of you to !
write to her. I have brown eyes and light j
brown hair. I will leave my age for you
all to guess: it is between sixteen and !
twenty-one. My birthday comes on July 11. j
Have I a twin? If so, write me, and the
first one who guesses my age will get a pic
ture of myself, so come on, cousins. I see
many of the cousins are taking subjects.
If I should take one it would be on "Re

Then there is money. Every man
knows that financial independence |
is necessary to every human being’s i
self-respect. Without a dollar of (
our own in our pockets we are hum- j
ble, cringing parasites that must •
lick the hand that feeds us, no mat- ;
ter how much we feel like biting it. i
Every man realizes this about him- :
self. No real man, no matter how !
good, and kind, and generous a fa- (
ther he had, could endure going to •
him every day and asking papa to '
please give him his car fare and ;
lunch money, and enough to buy a ■
new necktie. His pride wouldn’t !
permit him to enact the role of a (
perpetual beggar.
More than that, if he worked all i
day long in his father’s store or of- I
fice and gave the very best that 1
was in him to building up the busi- ;
ness, he would certainly feel himself '
exceedingly ill used and regard fa- j
ther as a grinding tyrant and the
champion tightwad it he got no pay
envelope on Saturday night and still
had to go to papa and ask for his
car fare and lunch money. And it
would be to laugh with derision if •[
father expected him to be grateful
for getting the money that he had I
earned ten times over.
Yet that is precisely the position
of thousands of women whose hus
bands refuse to make them any sort
of a. personal allowance. To their
families they give service so great
and never ending that money can
not ever pay for it, yet they never
have a penny of their own that they
do not have to wheedle out of their
husbands. Surely, if men ever
thought of their wives as human be
ings with decent instincts they
would not force them to become
mendicants and resort to the tricks
of harlots to get the money that is
due them as housekeepers, and
cooks, and steamstresses, and baby
nurses, to say nothing of their
higher claim as partners in the
matrimonial partnership.
There’s demesticity. Love. A
man knows that the human heart is
about the trickiest proposition on
earth, and that nobody can account
for its vagaries or prophesy what
It is going to do. He knows that,
so far as a man is concerned, love
is not a chronic complaint for which
there is no cure after you once
catch it. On the contrary, he is per
fectly aware that if you keep the
fire of passion burning you have to
be always throwing fresh fuel on
the flames and keeping tne hot-air
bellows going. He knows that the
woman who retains her husband’s
affections has to be up and doing,
and a vamp who is able to meet all
comers.
But he never thinks of his wife’s
having the same sort of fickle, hu
man heart that he has. He honestly
believes that nothing he could do
can kill his wife’s affection for him,
and that she will go on loving him,
no matter how slouchy and per
sonally unattractive he becomes; no
matter how dull and uninteresting
or grouchy he gets to be; no matter
how he neglects her.
All of which is some mistake.
Women can fall out of love even
quicker than men can. They are
human just as men are, and their
love must have something to live
on or else it, too, starves to death.
There is nothing in being a wife
that changes a woman’s nature. She
is still a human being, with human
desires, and if husbands would re
member this there would be very
few unhappy marriages.

Building Up Soils With Winter y
Legumes
G. L. J., Collins, Ga., writes: |
Is hairy vetch a soil builder, and I
will cotton and tobacco do well ;
after it? How much seed should ,
be sown ner acre? How should
the seedbed be prepared? Is i
Dwarf Essex rape a soil builder?
Is Abruzzi rye a soil builder?
When is the most suitable time
for planting vetch?
The Hairy vetch is a soil builder.
It belongs to the family of legumes j
and therefore under proper condi- (
tions it hag the ability through the (
nodules on its roots to assimilate a j
part of the nitrogen which it needs j
out of the air. The nodules them
selves do not assimilate the nitro
gen, but the bacteria which resides |
in them perform this function. Le- i
guminous crops which do not de- .
velop nodules are therefore not func- (
tioning properly nor will they make (
a satisfactory growth or develop- J
ment in the absence of nodules.
There is no reason why cotton !
should not do well after vetch. To- '
bacco is a very sensitive plant, and (
the incorporation of too much vege- ;
table matter on the ground the year )
tobacco is to be cultivated thereon i
is a mistake. It is best to let a year (
elapse between the turning under of ;
a green crop and the planting of j
tobacco t hereon. We presume, of I
course, that you expect to grow I
vetch as a cover crop and' turn it
under for the enrichment of the soil.
The amount of seed to sow de
pends on whether the vetch is sown
by itstlf or whether it constitutes
an element of a mixture. When
seeded in connection with oats and
rye, twenty pounds will be suffi
cient. If sown alone, we think
twenty-five to forty pounds of seed
should be used.
The seedbed for vetch should be
prepared as for any other winter
growing cereal. A good, mellow,
relatively fine seedbed is desirable.
It, of course, should be free from
weeds and trash. It is well to fer
tilize the land devoted to this crop
with 200 to 300 pounds of acid phos
phate and 100 pounds of kainit.
Dwarf Essex rape is not a soil
builder, but it is an excellent forage
crop and is not as hard on the land
as most of the crops we cultivate.
Abruzzi rye is not a soil builder
in the sense of gathering nitrogen
out of the air. It produces a large
amount of green material, which, if
U r ” ed will help enrich the
and The most suitable time for
n n f u etch in your sec t io n is in
late October or early November.
Minimizing Daniage by Moles
W. A. G„ Whigham, Ga.,
writes: I would like to know
how to destroy moles. I have a
ti uck patch and they destroy al
most everything I plant. I also
have failed to find anything that
will destroy cabbage worms.
o ur advice will be appreciated.
Th© mole is a difficult and pestif
erous creature to destroy. This is
on account of his more or less noc
turnal habits and the fact that if an
obstruction is placed in the runway
he has made in the sol! his instinct
Is to dig under or go around it.
Therefore, the many kinds of traps
which have been devised for his de
sti uction have proved ineffective.
Attempts to destroy these creatures
by filling the runways with masses
of cotton soaked with carbon bi
sulphide have ipnoved ineffective.
There appears to be too much room
for the leakage of the gas, and, of
course, the mole has such an ex
tensive system of underground chan
nels that he can get a long way off
from the place where the carbon bi
sulphide has been placed.
The best means of destroying
moles, in so far as has been deter
mined up to the present time, is by
the use of what is known as the
Scissor trap. This trap is set over
and around the runway. When it
is sprung the strong jaws on either
side of it clamp together. It does
not make an obstruction in the run-
