FARM LOAN BOARD'
TOJSIT SOUK
STOP AT CAPITALS
Senator Fletcher Will Insist Tha
Substatial Recognition Re
Given This Section.
Washington, Sept. 29.?With tli
return of the farm loan board b
Washington yesterday. Senator I). I
Fletcher of Florida' at once tool
steps not onlv to have the boar
make an immediate trip South, bu
to give substantial recognition b
that section in other ways.
It is understood to be the inten
tion of the board to make a ver;
limited stay in the South and to sto|
only at the capitals of the differen
States visited.
Senator Fletcher believes that al
though the present law is a splendit
thing, that it may be improved upon
He has recently made a compilatioi
from census bureau figures whicl
shows that in the South there shoulr
be more farm loan banks than wil
probably be the case under presen
conditions. The wealth of that sec
tion and the growth which it is mak
ing convince Senator Fletcher thai
the South should have more recognition
and more banks.
The efforts of the people of Co
lumbia who are interested in secur
ing one of these banks for their city
should be directed toward Senatoi
Fletcher and they should get ii
touch with him without delay so thai
when the farm loan board goes ti
Jacksonville it may also stop a reasonable
length .of time at Columbia
Senator Fletcher is in daily touct
with Secretary McAdoo and the mem
bers of this board and competitior
is likely to become lively as the re
suit of his efforts to get action immediately
from a Southern stand
point. With Senator Fletcher*!
strong influence the board can noi
overlook the interests of the South
even should there be a dispositior
otherwise to do so. in favor of somt
of the bigger agricultural sections ol
the West.

i The tone of my recent article on
the subject of Revelation, the ,Suroipean
war. Kaiser, etc., will show that
' I was a party to the "simplifying"
and not "mystifying" of the subject,
t If the 13th chapter is not of a
{mathematical sense, why is n> ubers
used? And if solving problems by
analysis is not simplifying, then 1
clam no mathematician. v
>! That subject came to my mind and
I wrote it, with no intention of ever
k mentioning it again, but if my
[i | friend of Tampa, Fla., wants a full
'newspaper controversy, and the kind
oj Editor will give space, 1 am ready.
True, 1 am crowded almost to the
-'limit with business matters, but. nevy
j ertheless, I do not know of you, nor
P i what you represent. Your name is
t not in my catalogue of Baptist
preachers. Sorry I have no cata
logue of all the denominations.
I 1 am only a layman in a Baptist
. | church.
i I was speaking of Revelation as
i u ? iiu-ii is anvajs in uie iuI
ture tense.
1 Listen: Justin Moryr, circ. 150
t A. D. says: "A man among us who's
- name was John, one of the apostles
- of Christ, in a revelation which was
1 made to him, prophesied that the be
lievers in our Christ shall live a
thousand years in Jerusalem."
In the intervals between the apos
tolic age and that of Constatine. the
r visions of John were chiefly regarded
r as representations of general Chirsi
tian truths. Scarcely yet embodied
t in actual facts, for the most part to
> be exemplified, or fulfilled in the
reign of Antichrist, the coming of
. Christ, the Mellenium, and the day
i of judgment.
Immediately after the triumph of'
1 Constantine, the Christians emancipated
from oppression and persecu"
tion, and dominant, and prosperous
in their turn, began to loose their
3 vivid expectation of our Lord's
' speedy advent, and their spiritual
[conception of His kingdom and to
'(look upon the temporal supremacy
\of Christianity as a fulfillment of the
' promised reign of Christ on earth.
The Roman 'empire become Christian
was regarded no longer as the
'object of prophetic denunciation,
but as the seem* Millennial develop;
ment.
The view, however, was soon met.
1 by this figurative interpretation of
the Millennium as the reign of
1 Christ in the hearts of all true believers.
As the barbarous and heretical
invaders of the fallen empire appear ,
ed, they were regarded by the suffering
Christians as fulfilling the woes
, denounced in Revelation.
Modern interpreters are generally
I placed in three great divisions, (a. I
The historical, or continuous ex.
poaitors, in whose opinion the Revetion
is a progressive history of the
future of the church from the first
century to the end of time. (b.)
iThe praeterist expositors, who are of
' opinion that the Revelation has been I
almost, or altogther fulfilled in the)
? time which has passed since it was
written; that it refers principally to
' the triumph of Christianity, Judiasm
and Paganism, signalized in the
^downfall of Jerusalem and Rome.
(c.) The futurist, expositors, whose
. views show a strong reaction against
some extravagance of the two pre,
ceding schools. They believe that
i the whole book, excepting the first
i three chapters, refers principally, if
I not exclusively to events which are
jyet to come. Two methods have
been proposed by which the reader
| of the Revelation may escape the incongruities
and fallacies of the different
interpretations, whilst he may
derive edification from whatever!
' truth they contain.
It has been suggested that the
book may be regarded as a prophetic
, poem, dealing in general and inexact
descriptions, much of which may be
,I set down as poetic imagery. Mere
, embellishment. But such a view
; would be difficult to reconcile with the
j belief that the book is an inspired
prophesy.
_| A better suggestion is made, or
l rather is revived, by I)r. Arnold in his
sermons on the 'Interpretation of
Prophesy." That we should bear in
, mind that predictions have a lower
f' historical sense; that there may be
.'one, or more than one typical, inper_
feet, historical fulfillment of a pro
j, phesy, in each of which the higher
J spiritual fulfillment Is shadowed
. forth more or less distinctly.
,J I did not say (?od favored war, or
e| would ever be commander-in-chief
0 in war, but I do say He give out the
advance Information that there
would be wars. The prophesy in
Revelations extends to the Millinnium,
to the consutnation of the age.
and why not apeak of the present
B time? I believe when Jesus was
talking to John, He knew of the
