SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Nov. 16, 1924.—Peter's Great Cons cssion—Matt. 16:13-20
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the Living God.’’ Matt.
16: 16.
The opposition to Jesus and His
claims had been growing so strong
that lie even turned away from the
land, the land of the promised pos
session of the kingdom of David,
and came into the coasts of Cacserea
gdd Philippi. Here in foreign terri
tory with His disciples alone He be
a—a teaching them the tilings con
cerning the knigdom which had not.
been hinted at before the loaders of
the people began to reject it as He
presented it.
One day they were on one of the
rocky shoulders in the neighborhood
of Mt. Hermon. Beneath their feet
was the. bed-rock and all about them
were great boulders and some pieces
of cut rock for building purpose’
In general the formation of the
country was similar to that around
Stone mountain in these particulars
—bed-rock, boulders, and stone for
building purposes. Luke tells us
that it was here as He was alone
praying, His disciples being with
Him, that He asked them a Question
—“Whom do men say hat I, the Son
of Man, am?’’
The fact of His praying before He
asked the question and then reveal
ed to them the truths that followed
is most significant. It gives us some
clue as to His thoughts and the bur
den of Bis prayers, lie knew that
the growing opposition of the rul
ing classes would end in His death.
He had opposed their traditions so,
He had antagonized their misrepre
sentations of God so that they would
not stop at. anything short of get
ting Him out of their way entirely.
He knew that, and His prayer must
have been for strength for Himself
that He might be able to do all the
will of God and not be turned aside,
and for His disciples that their faith
might be made strong enough to
carry them through. It was to get
an expression from them and to lead
them out that He put this question
to them—" Whom do men say that I,
the Son of Man, am?”
“Some say John the Baptist, some
Elijah, some Jeremiah, or one of the
other prophets,” they replied. Oh!
how unthinking, how superficial is
the crowd! How could Be have been
John the Baptist -when the two had
been seen together? They seem not
to have had any decided opinion
themselves, as yet.
Their answer though also gives ns
some idea of Bis versatility. To
have made the impression on some
that Be was the flaming prophet
Elijah, and on others that Be was
the weping prophet Jeremiah, shows
at least that Jesus was a man of
varied capabilities.
But when Be puts to them the
more direct, question—“but whom
say ye that J am?” their opinions
are crystallized. Peter, outspoken as
usual, replied: “Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the Living God.”
This confession was rather re
markable, for Be had specifically
designated Himself as the Son of
man, the term that expressed most
perfectly His perfect humanity. So
Peter’s reply was, Thou, the per
fection of humanity, art the Mes
siah long expected; and Thou art
more, the God-man, the Son of the
Living God. In those few words
Peter summed up His belief in the
humanity of Jesus, in the deity of
Jesus, and in His fulfillment of all
the Messanic prophecies and hopes
for the Davidic throne.
No wonder Jesus ryit«wered him:
BlcsScd art thou, Simon Johnson;
no man told you that, nor did you
get. it out of yolir inner conscious
ness; hut My Father which is in
Heaven, whose Son you declare Me
to be, He unveiled it. to you. No
one can know the Son except him
to whom the Father reveals Him.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
Modernist deni J's His deity, His
virgin birth. His- atoning death, His
bodily resurrection—the Modernist
who is conceited enough to think
that by his own searching he can
find God?
The further words of Jesus would
never have been so misunderstood
if a little thought had been given
to the words themselves and to the
setting as given above in the sec
ond paragraph of this article. Jesus
had no thought of saying that upon
Peter He would build His church.
Here was what He really; said:
“Thou are petros (a little rock), and
upon this petra (this great underly
ing stratum, this bed-rock) I Will
build my church.” Peter, the man
who was to be only one of the

stones to enter the building which
. | was to be founded on the great
! bed-rock of faith in Jesus as Peter
; had expressed it—faith in His hu
manity. His deity, His Messiahship.
; Peter took it this way himself,
, J which will be seen by reading what,
he wrote to his disciples scattered
abroad. 1 Pet. 2:4-8,
Notice, too, mat He n °t S ive
the keys of Heaven to Peter, but
only the keys to the kingdom of
Heaven. He Himself still has the
• keys of death and hades (Rev. 1-18).
. And the authority He delegated ; to
Peter lie afterwards delegated to
. the other disciples equally (Matt.
I 18:18). To Peter was granted the
privilege of opening the doors of
( the kingdom of Heaven tn the Jews
and later through Cornelius, to the
' Gentiles. Further than that his au
. thority did not extend.
i The word of Jesus to Peter is
> most significant, however, from an-
■ other standpoint. This is the very
> first reference to the church in the
■ Bible. It is not once mentioned in
the Old Testament. The prophets
and the psalips have in mind the
kingdom, which grows out of the
Davidic covenant (2 Sam. 7:). There
' are places in the Old Testament
where a parenthesis is necessary,
but which is not stated openly. For
example, when Jesus read from
Isaiah in the synagogue at Naza
reth He stopped right in the middle
of a sentence —“the acceptable year
of the Lord, and the day of ven
geance of our God.” The comma
marks the parenthesis. Something
conies between, because Jesus stop
ped there saying, This day is this
Scripture fulfilled in your ears. The
church is the parenthesis, the mys
tery, the hidden secret which had
been known to God from the begin
ning, but which was not revealed
until God revealed it to Paul, who
proclaimed it.
Notice also the tense of this state
ment. “I will build” —then it was
i yet future. Jesus had come and
I proclaimed the Kingdom as at hand;
! the people had rejected the King so-
I therefore the Kingdom had to be
I postponed. Now, out of the land,
j Ile had secured from the disciples
their great confession of faith in
His humanity, His deity, and His
Messiahship, He announces that
upon this He will proceed to the
building of the church—using them
as living stones for the erection of
the building, lie Himself being the
foundation and the chief corher
stone.
Another fact about ILis church
which He is to build is stated. “The
gates of hades shall not prevail
against, it.” This is another pas
. sage about which there has been
i much confusion. It has been taught
that the church must be aggressive,
; going out as an army of invasion,
and with the assurance of victory
over the hosts of evil, for “the gates
. of hell shall not prevail against it.”
But if this be true, is the church
fighting against hell with the ob
ject of taking it, as an invading
i at my lays seige to the gates of a
■ city?
Then it has been taught that the
• church shall be able to withstand
all the onslaughts of the enemy.
But whoever heard of gates going
out. on an invasion?
Evidently there was something
else in the mind of Jesus when He
spoke these words; and the key to
it may be found in something else
: that Be said on the same occasion
brom that time forth He began to
tell them of th e necessity of His go
ing- to Jerusalem, of His suffering
and death there and of His resur
rection on the third day. Ah! there
we have it. Hades is the place of

MEMORIAL COIN’S APPROVAL
MEANS EARLY SUCCESS FOR
CAMPAIGN, DIRECTOR SAYS
Complete success of the financing
of the' Stone Mountain Confederate
memorial is assured by dispatches
Saturday from Washington an
nouncing that the treasury depart
ment has approved the design for
tile Stone Mountain memorial half
dollar and sent it to the mint for
immediate production of the coins,
it was pointed out Satin day by G.
F. Willis, campaign director of the
memorial.
“Bvery , member of our executive
committee is jubilant over the good
news from Washington,” Air. Willis
said. “We' have waited patiently to
get this coin and have encountered
many difficulties, nut those are now
past, and the coin is a '-ertainty.
“This means that th success of
the memorial, so far as finances are
concerned, is absolutely assured. The
special act of congress authorizing
the Stone Mountain memorial half
dollar provides for the issuance of
fi o million. The association will
take them from the mint at face
value fifty cents, and sell them for
a dollar, thus putting into the asso
ciation treasury a profit of fifty
cents o each coin, or a total gross
profit of $2,500,000, or one-half the
amount required to complete the
whole memorial.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TEXAN,
“MA” FERGUSON DECLARES
TEMPLE, Texas, Nov. 7.—(Ry the
Associated Press.)—Advice of her
husband will be taken by Mrs. Mir
iam Amanda Ferguson, governor
elect of Texas, “just as I will take
the advice of any citizen of Texas
interested in the welfare of the
state, she said at her home here.
Her happiness unconfined, un
flurried by the round of gaities and
congratulatory celebrations ts which
she has been the center, yet cogni
zant of the responsibility that will be
hers for two years, “Ma” Ferguson i
is looking forward to her inaugura- ■
tion day.
To Mrs. Ferguson, wife of former i
Governor James E. Ferguson, ap- i
parently has come the peculiar dis- I
tinction, with Mrs. Nellie Tayloe ■
Ross, of Wyoming, of being the |
first woman elected chief executive
of a state. Mrs. Ross, it is under- i
stood, will be inaugurated before |
Mrs. Ferguson, but friends of the
Texas governor-elect retain for her i
the honor of being “first” because |
her candidacy was carried through ;
three bitter campaigns, while Mrs.
Ross was nominated in convention
about a month ago. '
“I expect to be governor, just as
any man,” Mrs. Ferguson said.
As she talked her drawing room
was heavy with the odor of roses
emanating from many large bou
quets sent by jubilant friends.
Loves All Flowers
“I love flowers, frorh the humblest I
posy tn orchids,” she said. “I can’t
live without them, and as T look at
them they seem to talk to me, ai
language more beautiful than any
thing I know.”
She said she would see that there
are plenty of flowers around the gov
ernor's mansion at Austin.
Her title, she said, would be “just
governor. I guess, for rz> other title
would do.”
“The title 'Madam Governor’
would be out of place, because one
does not say ‘Mister Governor’ to a
man.'' she added. then smiling
broadly, "you wouldn't call me ‘gov-’
orness.' because that means a wholly
different thing."
With Mrs. Ferguson wil Igo to
Austin her daughter. Dorrace, and
her husband.
"I guess Dorrace will be the ‘first
lady of the state.’ and will be super
visor of the mansion, and Jim will
be an interested spectator,” Mrs.
Feraaison said.
There will be no material change
in the family routine, she said.
There will l e entertaining but Dor
race will be hostess.

to be shouldered.” the governor
elect said, "for I recall how hard Jim

sell the coins throughout the United
States on a given date. We will
utilize the very best <. .in the
country and will pitch our campaign
t° Sell mole of coins in
one day. There is every indicatiotn
that five million will not be enough
to satisfy the public dema id. Every
body in the country is ’ terested in
the memorial, and the coin gives
everybody an opportunity to con
tribute to the -ost of it, and obtain
a beautiful silver souvenir issued by
the United btates government.
"Having sold the coins and put the
proceeds in bank, the association will
be in a position to give Mr. Borglum
a maximum crew of men to push
the work along with all possible

by Mr. Willis, Gutzon BOrglum an
nounced that he has cleared out the
granite around the figures of Lee,

these three down to their saddles

Hollins N. Randolph, president of
the Stone Mountain Confederate
Monumental association received
Saturday morning a telegram from
Senator William J. Harris, of Geor
gia, advising him that the design for
the coin is in the mint and the dies
are being cut, and that the actual
minting of the coins will start in a
very short time.

citizen of Texas interested in the
welfare of the state. No one should i
be so' foolish as to believe that one [
could tackle such a task alone. Jim i
took advice while he was governor,
just as our presidents have done.”
Mrs. Ferguson punctured another
fallacy about herself when she de
clared that she does not do all the

i intend to do it while she is gov-
■ ernor. j
“Yes, I believe Jim has been vin- ■
' dicated by the election,” she said
■ with reference to her husband’s ini- i
I peachment from the governor's of- I

■ the cold-blooded, scheming mother
' who disposes of her daughter in
l marriage as if she were a slave on
■ the auction block, and the mother
who leaves her daughter’s matrimo
nial fate entirely to chance and luck.
, there is a wide field in which it is
> not only the province, but the duty
l of a good mother to forward her
child's happiness and wellbeing.
It is strange that mothers do not
oftener realize this, . for nearly all
women, even when they have not
been happily married themselves, be
lieve in marriage. They recognize
it as woman's predestined place in
life, the career for which nature
intended her, and in which she is
I most apt to find peace and content
ment.
Every woman wants her daugh-
i ters to marry. She never feels safe
about them until they are married,
and the first breath of relief that a
i mother ever draws from the time
her girl baby is born is when she
sees her walking out of the church
door on the arm of her husband,
with rice in her wedding veil.
This, then, being the case, why is
- getting her daughter married not a
. legitimate occupation for the moth
er? Why should not a mother use
■ all of her wisdom and experience in
trying' to secure for her beloved child
a good husband, since the man she
1 marries holds a woman's whole fate
in his two hands, and on the way he
1 treats her depends whether she lives
1 the balance of her life in heaven or
' hell?
s Os course, the supreme require-
> ment in any marriage is congenial
ity between the high contracting
parties, and that is a matter of ab-
• solute personal taste. That is be
) yond any other human being’s juris
, diction, and it is a crime for a moth-
J er to overpersuade her daughter to
s marry a man who does not appeal
to her, or to keep her daughter from
t marrying- the man she prefers. The
; choice of the individual man is up
1 to the girl. She is the one to be
i pleased, not mother. She is the one
. who has to live with him, not her
- mother. ’

BOYS’COTTON CLUB
IN NEWTON COUNTY
SETS HIGH HUGE
COVINGTON, Ga., Nov. B.—Forty
four bales of cotton were sold here
last week by the members of the
Newton County Boys’ Cotton club,
and a price averaging a two-cent
premium over the market at that
time was received for each bale.
N. S. Turner, president of the Cov
ington Cotton mills, bought the cot
ton, his bid being the highest at an
auction sale of the entire 44 bales.
Under the direction of County
Agent G. W. Robinson, 66 boys en
rolled in the Cotton club. Several
failed to keep records and were
counted out. However, the remain
ing 59 boys completed the project,
and produced on 59 acres, 59 bales
of cotton averaging 450 pounds each.
Some of the boys sold before auc
tion day.
Leonard Davis Chain pion
Leonard Davis, twelve years old,
was the champion of the county. On
his acre he produced 1,923 pounds
of seed cotton, giving 725 pounds of
lint, and it is estimated that he has
at least 100 pounds of cotton yet
to pick. The lowest yield produced
on a club acre was 278 pounds of
lint cotton, and this low yield was
due to a very poor stand.
All of the boys worked faithfully.
The Davis boy worked in his cotton
both day and night. One night he
went out to dust his cotton by moon
light, he stayed so long that his |
family became uneasy and began a i
search. Leonard's father found the ’
little man fast asleep. He lacked i
two rows of having the cotton all j
dusted when the “sand man” over- I
powered him.
The Atlanta Chemical company, j
through Troy G. Chastain, vice
president, furnished 39 boys 600
pounds of 10-5-3, I’j bushels of Col
lege No. 1 cotton seed and 33*4 i
pounds of calcium arsenate. E. E. I
Lunsford, president of the Farmers’ i
Banking company, of Covington, I
Ga., furnished 10 boys 1,000 pounds j
of 10-4-4 fertilizer, Cleveland Wan- !
namaker cotton seed and calcium j
arsenate. C. C. Lunsford, merchant j
and pla'nter. Mansfield. Ga., fur- |
nished 10 boys with 1,000 pounds of !
10-4-4, also seed and calcium arse- I
nate.
Profit SIOO an Acre
The averag net profit per acre for I
every boy was in round numbers
SIOO, not including the seed. These
boys were all working hard to win j
the free trip to Chicago, and were
an inspiration to many farmers.
Newton county will produce this '
year more than double the amount
of cotton that it produced last year
The Georgia and Atlanta & West
Point railroads, through their agri
cultural departments, are giving a
free trip to the International Live
Stock show held in Chicago, to the
boy residing in territory served by |
either of these railroads, who pro- I
duces the highest yield of cotton 1
per acre. Boys residing in prac
tically every county served by either
of these railroads are competing.
Taking the total number in all coun
ties, 497 boys are contesting for the
free trip tn the International Live
Stock show.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1934.
influence to make her daughter ;
marry any particular man just' be
cause he is a good catch. But none ; '
the less, she should Use her own i '
matrimonial experience and her own j
knowledge of men to subtly guide
her in making the right choice of a ,
husband.
Every woman knows that in af
fairs of the heart an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure.
There is no use in arguing with a
girl in love. She is temporarily in- •
sane and incapable o£ seeing any
thing In its true light. She is deaf
to all reason. Blind to all facts.
Every woman also knows that
propinquity ' is the great match
maker, and that girls marry the
men with whom they are thrown in
contact. Hence, it is the mother’s
duty to see that the men with whom
her daughters associate are the kind
whom she would welcome as her
sons-in-law.
The woman who is properly on to
her job as mother does not take into
her family a handsome young man
relative and throw him into daily,
intimate association with her pretty <
young daughter and then howl with
horror when she finds that they
have fallen in love with each other
and want to get married. Nor does
she give the run of her house to
some fascinating, dissipated ne’er-do
well and then weep with despair
when her daughter announces her
intention of marrying him despite
all the warnings that are held up
before her as to how such a mar
riage is sure to turn out.
The managing inother prevents
these catastrophes. Not believing in
the marriage of cousins, she does
not invite good-looking young kins
men to make their home with her.
She runs no free hotel for dead
beats. She freezes out the undesir
ables, and, above all, without her
daughter’s knowing it, she turns the
spotlight of her common sense and
humor on the girl’s beaux, so that
daughter sees them as they are and
not as her youthful inexperience
paints thetn.
The wise mother teaches her
daughter that while love is the great
thing in matrimony, it is not every
thing, and that a woman does not
long love a husband who has not
the solid qualities that command her
respect. She teaches her that there
are lots of men with whom it is fun
to play around, but who are not
amusing as husbands. She teaches
her that a man who can make his
wife a comfortable living will hold
her affections longer than one who
starves her and repeats poetry to
• her. So when the girl selects her
i life mate she does it intelligently,
instead of taking up the first at
tractive male creature that strikes
i her fancy.
i It is surely a mother’s duty to
s help her daughters get married. She
; can do this by making her home an
- attractive place for men to come;
by giving her girls pretty clothes
and, if they live in a place where
there are no eligible men, by taking
■ them where the hunting is good.
Men help their sons start in busi
. ness. Why should not mothers help
. their daughters marry? That’s the
. average girl’s business in life.

“Wheat King” of 1898
Won’t Try to Repeat
CHICAGO, Nov. B—Joseph Leiter,
whose gigantic operations in wheat
approached a corner in 1898, only to
collapse with a rush of wheat from
Canada and with the advent of the
Spanish-American war, has no in
tention of operating in grain again.
This was disclosed, today when Mr.
Leiter, in resporise to published
stories of his application for rein- ■
statement as a member of the board i
of trade, said he would sell his mem- j
bership.
He added in explanation that with
the settling up of the Templeton
claim, one of those against him in
connection with operations which
are said to have cost him $3,000,000
or more, he had applied for rein
statement merely to sell his member
