The corn, early as well as late, was severely damaged by the very dry weather. Because of the above condition we should begin to plan for some early spring feed. The first one is oats and vetch or rye and vetch, either of these to be cut for hay when the oats are -in mutton and just as the rye begins to head. A good yield of good quality hay can be made from either of the above and the cost will he reasonable. Fifteen to twenty pounds of vetch should be sowed with one and a half to two bushels of oats and three pecks to one bushel of rye with the fifteen to twenty pounds of vetch. The second one is the crop of oats planted by themselves and allowed to grow and mature to be gathered at that time. Such feed as can bo made as oats in this way is very fine and although it does not come as early as the one above, one has the value of the grain. Before the last of October the abore crops should be planted to make the best yields. The preparation of the soil should begin as soon as possible now so when time to plant comes the soil will he prepared. * All information needed will be furnished by County Agent’s office.—H.

Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to Preach tho Word* in Asia <vvv4LKL- —— The Inclination of 1‘nul uml bis com panions was to tarry in the provinces of Asia Minor preaching the Word, but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. There were many’ people in Asia who yet needed tho Gospel. They might have reasoned, what difference would it make where ijre preach so the Gospel is preached? We have here a .fine lesson on Divine guidance. The Holy Spirit Is as active and faithful in closing doors as in opening them. “The stops as well as the steps .of- good-‘wcn are ordered of the Lord.” We ought as truly to recognize God’s hand in the “shut-ina”' as in the “open-outs." II. The Call to Macedonia (w. 9-12). The Gospel having broken the con fines of the Jewish city and country, the middle wall of partition having been abolished, the time has come for it to leap across the Aegean sea and begin its conquest on another, conti nent. Christianity thus ceased to be an oriental religion, and through the cehturies has been mainly occidental. 1. The Vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help. ’£hls made plain, to him the closed doors about him. In finding the Divine will we should look both ways. Before there can be any great forward move ment, there mnst he a vision. There la no victory without a vision. 2. The Advance (vv. 10-12.) As soon as the Divine way was known, they moved forward therein. Visions must he quickly translated, and aggressive action taken or else they are blotted from our skies. Paul never questioned the wisdom of God nor delayed action. Tills is character istic of all God’s true servants. With a straight course. Paul moved out of his own country to the.strategic center of a new continent, g HI. The First Convert in Europe (vv. 13-15). The missionaries first went to Phil ippi and spent several days in studying conditions there. The Jew ish element In this city was com paratively insignificant.' So much so that they could not have a synagogue. Therefore, the devout people were ac customed to worship by the river side. To thla humble gathering Paul came and preached to the'women assembled there. A certain woman from Thyutlra named Lydia, a proselyte, believed his message and was baptized. The steps In Lydia’s conversion are worthy of note, for they are typical: t. Attendance at the Place of Wor ship (r. 13). Usually those whom God Is calling are found at the pl?ce of prayer, Lydia was a woman of' Wealth, culture and wide experience, and yet she had need of <’h ,, ist. Nile was seeking the heavenly light. God sends many an in quirer to the prayer meeting. 2. Listening to the Preaching of the Word of God (vv. J3-14). The instrument used in the conver sion of sinners Is*' the Word of God. “Faith cometh by .hearings and hear ing by the Word of God” (Rom. 10:17), It is highly important tbftf at every prayer meeting the Word of God shall be spoken-so that the inquirer after God'may find the light. 3. Her Heart Was Opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul. It Is our business to preach the Word of God, and it Is God’s business to open the heart of the inquirer. Re generation is a supernatural* work. When the Gospel Is preached the Spirit of God opens the sinner’s heart for th« reception of Christ. 4. She Was Baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him In bap tism. Baptism Is an outward sign of inward grace. 5. Her Household Believed (v. 15.) Real conversion cannot be concealed. When one Js converted those In the bouse will find It oat f. Practical Hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God’s MTinf grace are thus disposed to have part 1ft His work by rendering aid to His ministers. GET MORE FOR YOUR COTTON S .//7//0 // /o AVAMNAM COTTON Facto sage Co.
