Shaw tolls o? the evil crop conditions lief. Judging from Associated Presa of rain, und he ascribes the drouth to the sins of thc people and culls upon them tn approach (Jod in prayer for re in Huck Mills Township due to lack leports. National Bulletins and so forth, this rinulng In Israel ls fairly general und neither South Carolina nor more sepclflcally, Rock Mill Town ship, need feel lonely in Its remissness Mr. Shaw graphically portrays a typi cal wifely heanes with lier lessor half in which the ternal verities are up held in one point at'least-the lady of tho house has the last word. In fact, there is a reason to believe '.hat John either fainted or went to" sleep during the good woman's final harangue, for there is not another peep out of the pessimistic farmer. Mr. Shuw has sized up farm conditions in lils country bet ter tuan u government report und may be ho has found the way out. In all my life L never have seen the prospects for a crop so gloomy or disheartening in Rock Mill Township. I am satisfied that there ls seventy per cent of the cotton under tho ground at this time, and one-fourth of the corn yet to plant, and the land ls so hard the farmer cannot prepare lt to plant. I have seen some two horse farms which have not cotton enough up on them to make u stand on one and a half acr?r. and I hear of other .farms in the same condition. Who is to blame for it? I anrwer: We as far mers, and the people In geural arc solely repsonslble. Let me Illustrate lt ot the renders of your paper..Horn lu Mr. A. He is a stout man, with u wife and reveral chlldjfen. who - nre dependent on him for a living. ' Mr A. is a poor man und he has n hard time to keep'the necsstty nf life for hts family and per chance he'meeta with bad luci; and the meal tub runs nut. His good wife comes to him and says: "John, the meal is out and 1 have nothing to make any bread, and little Mottle is crying for something to eat. What are you going to do about gettiug something to eat for the children?" Mr. A. says: "I have done all I can. I have- no lacney to buy anything with." The good wife replies: "John, you know your father bau plenty of evrythlng. Can't, you go to him and tell him our condition? Ho will let you huvb the lhirig3 we need." John answers: "Wife, I have nevr a: ked my father to give mc anything up to this lime, and I um ashamed to go to him now for holp." "Yer.," answers the good wife, "but John, your lal uer will be glad to help, you. If you will go and ark him in the light way, and tell him you need lils help." How many lamiera have exhausted all their agiicutlural skill trying to get the cotton up and have fulled? How often have yob said: "If it'doesn't iain In a few days the farmers are ruined and starvation will look every one of us in thc face? How many times have , you walked over your, .cotton crop to ue? tf the cotton was coming up, and gone back to the hour? a sad der mac than you were when you left.? How many sleepless hours have you'spent on your bed?' Think about the' condition:- of your crop. How many times have you ar ked friend' B. what he thought of the condition of things hoping to hear something that would give you nome encouragement, but tailed? Then you remember the wordr. of Holy Wilt-Vanity, vanity, all lr vanity and vexation of spirit, uaith the preacher. You have done all you know to do " and ' the condition seems to bo getting in. a worse fix than at thc beginning. When all this worry about crops and the condition could have been avoided If we had dono our duty in the beginning. Oh, rome say please tell me what my duty is and I will do it yet. Listen, hear what God snyr himself. The Ood of Heaveh toys:- "Try Me and' See If I don't open tho window of Heaven and pour you out such a blessing you cannot contain lt." ?? How many and how often have we gone rt ht o Cod in prayer and made known'bur wan ty and needs unto Him; have we tried. Ood? Have we ku pc ked ut the window Of Heaven with-our feeble petition; have we asked Cod to rend down the rain upon our parched earth that-- our crops might bo bountiful, and that we should apply tho proceeds thereof to the glory and honor'of ills Holy name, and to the advancement of His cause and kingdom-here upon earth. .Yer. my friend. I believe if we as a people would have1 done our duty, as is required by Divine Writ, this drought never would have been upon us; Yer, Israel'has sinned.'' Some-of us have hld that wed ?o und that gar ment in our heart?,' and it has1'taken this dry spell to'make us tell Where the'sin is. Could we all cry out'as did David: 'Create within-mea new heart and renew within me a right spirit, O, Odd!' I cannot believe that . God would have al Towed this drought to have-come ujpdn us, if we as ? people, would have been doing our duty .as {vpfessed followers of the meek and on el y Jesus. - Now in conedlusion. let un nit ask God's forglveners of our past sins and, ask Him to lead 'us' by His powerful arm und keep UH rr'om sin and' folly by giving* power1 and Influence'of his holy chirit.
