« HEREAFTER,
“That which is seen is tempo
ral”. The things we can see will
not last. Flowers bloom, wither,
and die. We build houses and
after a while they become heaps
of ruin. Our bodies go back to
dust. The unseen things are real
and eternal lives on. All the vir
tues will last —honor, purity,
truth, and such things continue
through all eternity.
“What shall I eat?” “What
shall I wear?” “What shall Ido
with the little money I have
saved?” “Where shall I go to
college?’’ These are questions
, people are asking. The big quest
ion is, “Where shall I spend
eternity?” Man must live some
where forever. He cannot cease
to exist. The Bible teaches that
there are only two places—heaven
and bell. So there are only two
alternatives for every human be
ing—heaven and hell. “Where
shall 1 spend eternity?" That is
the big question.
If there were no life beyond
this life Christianity would still
be a great blessing. I do not know
how men who have no Christian
faith bear their burdens and
their sorrows. Life’s load gets
heavy at times. The burdens are
sometimes almost unbearable
Jesus Christ offers rest to weary
people. He offers comfort to the
broken hearted. A great physi
cian said, “1 do not see how a
doctor could be a skeptic. A
Christian does not die like a
sinner”. Yes, Christianity is
wonderful for life, and experi
ence shows it is a good thing to
have when dying. Here are two
Bible pictures: First, Jesus
comes out of heaven into the air.
Dead men leap out of their graves
and are joined by living men who
climb an invisible stairway to
meet their Lord. Second, Jesus is
on the throne. A thunderbolt is
on His brow and lightening
flashes from His eye. Sinners
beg for mountains to fall on them
to hide them from the Kings on
the throne. The first picture is a
picture of Christians and the
second is a picture of sinners.
Yes, Christianity is a good thing
to live by. It is a good thing to
have when dying and it is a good
thing for the world to come to.

RUSSELL PREDICTS
COTTON ‘REVOLT’
Washington, Aug. 26. —South-
ern Senators here today predict
ed that the cotton farmers would
"rise in revolt” unless the 12
cmt cotton loans were continued
this year.
Senator Russell (Democrat),
Georgia, said he had received
more than a hundred spontane
ous telegrams, advising him that
the cotton growers are meeting
in court houses, around general
stores and on the streets, pro.
testing the failure of the admin
stration to continue the 12 cent
loan.
“They were getting together
everywhere they could,” be said.
"The newly announced nine
cent plan threw the South into a
state of complete confusion and
protest.
“Everybody understood rhe
12-cent loan would be continued
this year. When it was not, the
farmers were stunned. They
didn’t know what to do.
“If cotton continues to go
down the government will lose
seventy five or a hundred mil
lion dollars on the cotton it al
ready has on hand. With al2
cent loan for Ibis year’s crop
there will be no loss at all or
practically none.”
