“Throw thy pebble in on the flow
ing tide.
Watch the circlee wider grow as
they outward glide;
■ Every drop within that stream feels
the pebble’s blow.
Drop your little offering in with the
gifts of love,
Jesus’ eyes are watching you fron
the throne above;
If it is all you have to give He will
make it grow,
When the increase you shall see
tears of joy will flow.
Cast your honeet effort in where you
see the need,
He who blessed the barley loaves
will accept the deed;
He will make your efforts felt like
th* pebbles blow, 1
Though the good your deed shall d
you may wait to know.”
When John Knox undertook tho
reformation of Scotland, he placed
a school house beside every church
This was a recognition of the schoo
as a factor in the elevation of a peo
pie. The results proved the wisdom
of Knox’s course.
To the consecrated teacher there
is no field so inviting as the moun
tain. The children are as bright ns
in any other section of our country,
and the young people are more anx
ious to advance in their studies than
in the more favored sections. In
the midst of these surroundings the
Christian teacher finds a mighty ir.
Bpiration. He feels that he is ac
complishing something among these
people, who are coming to realise
that education is the equipment for
success in this world, and that in
these schools they are trained in
methods of religious work, for in
these mountain schools the Bible
may be freely used.
The teachers of the mountain
schools, like other sections of our
country, often come from the native
population and to fit them for their
high calling they need to be .taken
from their environments and put
into a Christian school, where they
will come in touch with minds di
vinely illuminated and hearts fired
with intelligent zeal. When tl.e
teacher thus prepared returns to his
native hearth it is with a change d
life and character, and his influence
is as a live wire from the echo. 1
house to every home in the district.
Thrilling illustrations could be given
of the reformation in manners and
lqorals brought about under the
guiding hand of many of these
teachers and he becomes the key lo
unlock the outside world and give a
vision of its wonderful activities
which inspire to new life.
It was with a knowledge of the e
conditions and with a view to help
ing these people in their struggle tor
better things that the Sue Benne’.t
Memorial School was projected,
"Let us illuminate some dark cor
ner,” was her expression. Tj^e S
ciety was then in its. infancy, br.t
she it was who threw ip this pebble.
The school was.-opened in 1(397;.
London was selected because, of, its
ideal.location, being at the crossing
of two great railroads, and, ig, the
midst of the field to be cultivated.
The splendid suocees which has
attended the work proves that the
enterprise was planned and located
in wisdom and is well worthy of
support.
"What shall I give to thee, OLord?
The kings that came of old
Laid safely on Thy cradle rude
Their myrrh and gems and gold,
Thy myrters gave their hearts warm
blood,
Their ashes strewed the way,
They Bpurned their lives as dreams
and dust,
To speed Thy coming day.
Thou knowest of sweet and precious
things,
My store is scant and small,
Yet wert thou here in want and woe
Lord I would give the all.
Then came, a voice from heavenly
heights,
‘Unclose thins eyes and see,
Oifts to the least I love,
Thou givest unto Me.”

Race For Congress
Mr. Tribble S. J. Tribble is act
ively in the race for congress, and
everybody who knows Sam Tribble
knows that means a hard fight in
the Eighth district.
To say that he stands in the front
ranks with men of ability in this
section would be repeating what
everybody knows. When he located
in Athens he was a poor boy and
had no friends or family pulls to
help him. His clean, Christian
character, his sober and industrious
life commended him to the people
and as the years have gone by he
has been rising and warming him
self into the hearts of the people.
His exemplary life is without a
blemish, and the fact that he has
for many years been an active
worker in the Sunday Schools in
the factory districts mark him as a
prominent church worker.
He first became a prominent po
litical figure when he made the fight
for a white poet-master in Athens,
and since then Jiis star has been
rising.

Winter Oats
The Columbia Fire
Insurance Company
OI : ATHENS, GEORGIA
At present there is only one acre
of winter oats grown in.the state
of Georgia to every eighteen or
or twenty acres of oggn or cotton.
It is quite true the wet season very
often comes at the time when the
oats arc ready to harvest, and,
therefore, interferes with the culti
vation of this crop on an extensive
scale. It js-a prop, however, that
under projllr treatment gives large
yiclds-in-flW sfate of Georgia,-and
when we consider its value os a
grain for work stock when fed
alone or with com os part of the
grain ration, or when grown in
combination with winter vetch for
the production of hay or simply
used as a cover crop for the winter,
there is good reason to believe that
the acreage of winter oats in Geor
gia should be at least douhled.
There arc only a few varieties of
winter oats on the market. The
variety wiving the best yield at
the College in 1909 was the Texas
Rust Proof oat, yielding 64.46
bushels per acre. The Culberson
oat came next with a yield of 60
bushels per acre, followed by Ban
croft, Appier and Virginia Gray
with a yield of 50, 53 and 40 bush
els per acre respectively.
The Culberson oat is a new va
riety and a fairly good yielder. Its
good points arc eearly maturity
and stiff straw. The grain of this
oat is very small and some db> not
like it on that account.
A test of three different samples
of Texas Rust Proof oats from dif
ferent dealers gavo the following
results: 64.46, 46 and 40 bushel
per acre respectively. Some of .w
oat seed offered for sale'is r fit
