FARMING WITH GOD Monday afternoon of this week there was held a very unique and inspiring service—not in a church here in Pelham, but out ou a farm few miles from the city. Some tweuly five or thirty men and wo¬ men assembled out iu the middle of a seventy-acre field, aud singing “How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord,” led by pastor W. B. Feagins, of the First Baptist church, Mr. C. J. Hurst led iu au able prayer to God for bless¬ ings upon that soil and the crops to be raised therein, aud upon the - - His Holy Altar this fall a “Tenth of t^e gross proceeds of the entire crop. Pastor Feagins tbeu read appropriate scripture from Genesis and Deuteronomy, Psalms aud Malachi, showing how God had promised to bless His people in all ages when they take Him into partnership with Him in their busi ness, showing how God has com¬ manded us to “tithe” of the seeds we plant in the fields, and houor Him with the first fruits of all our substance. After making a few remarks on the scripture read and about the occasiou that had brou¬ ght us together, the pastor then led iu a prayer of dedication to God of the laud leased for farm ing, iu all about oue hundred and forty acres, the two brethren, L A. Shepherd - and J. N McKenzie agreeing to lay on God’s alter a “tenth” of the gross proceeds this fall. Appropriate words were also spoken briefly by C. J. Hurst aud A. G. Ott. All told, it was an unique service, but in keepiug with the letter aud spirit of God’s eternal Word. It is the prophecy of a better day! It will prove to be the ONLY thing that will exter¬ minate the Boll Weevil! God says if we will bring ALL the “tithe” into his store house aud prove Him, that He will rebuke the DEVOUR UR of our crops(See Malachi 3: 7 15) The question is, Do we be¬ lieve God’s Word? Are there other farmers in Mitchell county who want a similar service? Will you farm with God this year according to the teaching of the BOOK? 1 shall be glad to go ANYWHERE to dedicate farm-laud to God, and show the people what God’s word has to say concerning these thiugs that have destroyed our crops in recent years and just WHY He has permitted it. Why not, before you fanners permit a furrow to be PELHAM MAY HAVE PAVED STREETS Mr. C- Q.

DAUGHERTY RESIGNS ON PRESIDENT’S REQUEST Harry M. Daugherty passed out of public life Friday in a tem¬ pest that terminated befittingly his three stormy yearsas attorney general. His appointment to the cab¬ inet by President Harding was the subject of criticism, and his resignation came at the virtual demaud of President Coolidge and in the midst of isatian-producing senate President Coolidge asked for the resignation because he felt he could not depend on Mr. Daugherty for disinterested advice and because he belived the attorney general could not perform satisfactorily the duties of his office under the con dition resulting from the senate in¬ quiry. Mr. Daugherty tendered his re siguatiou “sole out of deference” to the president’s request and asked that it be effecive at oue. This is the second cabinet mem ber to be forced out because of either misconduct or neglect brought out in the Teapot Dome inquiry. A few criminal prosecu tions would be a mighty good thing just now. plowed each morning, assemble your hands in the field and open the day with prayer? It is as sac¬ red a thing to farm as it is to preach. The man who tills the soil is as much under obligation to farm that soil for the glory of God as it is for this scribe to preach the Gospel from the pulpit. No body but a fool would deny this. God bless L. A. Shepherd and J, N. McKenzie iu this blessed Divine partnership they have for¬ med with the Almighty this year! VVe shall pray daily for these men aud their men and their hands, and these farms they are working this year, for God’s glory and man kind’s good. God bless ALL our good farmer folk in Mitchell county! You have a friend in this preacher who prays for you daily, and wants to show you “the way out” of another year’s failure, from God’s Eternal Truth. Will you command me? I am READY i to go to your fields any day. ! Phone me. Come to see me W. B. Feagius. ‘ ALLIGOOD MOVES TO MARIANNA, FLA. Mr. D. C.
