I Rev. M A. MATTHEWS D.D.,LL. D. GriLTT PREACHERS ^ ! The Christian pulpit is the highest " place on earth. It is the only un- . trammeled, unpurchasable throne in the world. The preacher, if lie be a real preacher,, is God-called, Godfilled, divinely fitted, and supernaturally commissioned. His authority and message are of supernatural origin. Therefore, he is decreed to be a leader. If he meets these divine requirements be is an expert in his exalted position. When ever a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His vicarious death steps out of this exalted place and fails to perform his duty as a courageous leader and fearless defender of the faith delivered once for all to the saint3, he becomes guilty and must be held responsible for all the ills that result from his failure. There are ministers who have, no doubt, stepped from this high responsible place and they are therefore guilty of all the evils of the country that have come as a direct result of 4 their actions. Such ministers are chargeable with the following defects: First: Laziness. They do not work, not even half time. Their sermons show it. Their fences are down. Their churches are unorganized. They do not take any part in the civic life of their communities. Second. They are cowards. They are afraid to speak plainly, pointlv, and persistently against the sins of their members. They are far from being like John the Baptist. They do not demand respect and attention from men because they do not meet men and challenge them in their evil doings. They do not stand like brave men 9hould stand?face to face with a guilty brother and accuse him. Third: Busy idleness. They are i engaged in attending pink teas, and i LAST FATALITY IN DISPUTE j, 11 When Determined, Monument Will Be j , Erected on Spot Where Unfortunate Soldier Died. ' ; When wu the last man killed in \ J the war? This Is the latest question ; asked by the French literary journal, | Renaissance. It promises to be taken | up aerlously hy the allied nations, each ; of which has hitherto considered Unit ! ' the honor belonged to it. The British 1 ' declare that a few minutes before, eleven o'clock on the morning of the artnis'ice a colonel of machine gunners 1 in the British army received a stray bullet, but it is doubtful whether this ouuei I'Hiue nuiu a v*c*uiuii w. from a party of woppers up. At any rate, the British case Is considered outclassed. Veterans' associations in 1 allied countries are being asked to 1 Bend in corroborated details of inci- ' dents likely to aid in solving the prob-, ' lem, which the Renaissance assures its ! readers Is Just as Important as is the identity of the first man killed in the ' war, the latter honor, of course, belonging to the French soldier who crossed the German frontier without 1 knowings war had been declared and ? | N ew A; | EVA ?

Fourth: Infidelity. They have yielded to the Goddess of Heresy, and have made a direct attack upon the infallible Word of God and the blood j atonement of Jesus Christ. Such men ' are undermining the faith of the j young and unsophisticated saints 'and; are sending thousands adrift into' skepticism and sin. Such men are j parasites. They are drawing salaries fraudulently because they contracted to preach the infallible Word of God and the vicarious atonement of Jesus Christ. They are preaching something else. Therefore, such conduct is dishonest. Such men are largely responsible for the rise of the infamous cults and the spread of irreverence, frivolity, impropriety, domestic fidelity, apostasy, and general social criminality If the preachers were preaching faithfully, fearlessly, courageously the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ, and were exposing crime, demanding confession, and bringing men face to face with the judgment of their deeds, the crime wave of this country would sub side at once, and a great revival of religion would begin. The pettifogging, heretical, spineless, rationalistic, infidelic preaches of the country are responsible for the social conditions of this land. was shot during an altercation with a German cu.-toms agent and a squad of German infantry. Once the identity of the last man killed in 'lie war Is established, a monument will he raised to commemorate the fatality and the soldier who lost his life at the moment of victory. Sapphire With a History. The big sapphire on the top of the cross on the state crown of the klug of England once was believed to have the power of curing rheumatism, sciatica and various other diseases which nfilleted men a thousand or so years ugo. It is not believed that this stone has lost any of the powers with which It began life, perhaps a million years ngo, hut a large part of the British public seems to have lost faith in it? curative properties. This sapphire was once the setting of the coronation ring af Edward the Confessor, who was buried in Westminster abbey, and was taken out of his casket in 1 lie year 1101, since which time It has been one nf the English crown Jewels.

M. Goodman, Editor Farm in* A farmer in South Carolina had an exhibit of 102 farm products at his county fair last fall?butter, cheese, eggs, poultry, sausage, hams, shoulders, bacon, fruits and vegetables* corn, wheat, rye, oats, beans, pens, cotton etc.?all produced on a forty acre farm in sufficient quantities for home use and a surplus of everything to sell In his home market?and his county paper sta'cs, "While lie has never planted mere than four acres of cotton, having money in the hank has been a habit with him fm^ many years." This is a good example of successful diversified .farming. We find oth ers uere aim mere i moiifmuui mc cotton belt, but there should be thousands of them in every State. Every farm should be made self-supwrting. The farmer who raises his own meat and bread and feed crops is not worlying much about the boll weevil or prices for cotton. Solving Farm Problems We can solve most of our farm problems if we will lime our lands to insure good crops of lepumns and larger yields of crops that follow, prow plenty of feed for livestock, have a few sheep, hops, cows and chickens, plenty of fruit and vepetables for home use, and something to sell every week, making the farm a factory to be run the year 'round. ^ Sheep on the Farm "The sheep wears a golden hoof is a truth long since formed into a proverb in Spain. Sheep, like clover, add fertility. while drawing sustenance rrom me ; soil. The demand for mutton in all city, markets is steadily increasing, and there is money in wool. A few sheep may he kept with profit on a great majority of the farms of the Smith. They cle-r Holds of weeds and convert theiu into things we can sell. That's good business. Hogs There is a market for hogs in early summer as well as in winter months. The farmer who keeps his ( factory producing to full capacity may have some hogs to sell two or three times a year. But if he does not raise hogs for market, lie should see to it that he will not have to buy meat for home use. Cows "A cow on every farm" Is a good slogan. Where the farmer has three , or more cows, he can count on a i steady Income from milk, cream or butter. Cows, sheep, hogs hay. wlie.it, | corn, cotton?every farm in the cot-1 ton sections of the Southeast can have all these things and more: and along with them fertile farm lands, J good farm homes, independence, prosperity. Make Farming Pay Let's make fanning pay by making the farm yield everything it is capable of producing for home and market. Let's lime our lands, grow legumes for feed or to he turned under, and increase the fertility of every foot , of ground we cultivate. Up to the Farmer Co-operative marketing is a good thing y the farmer?when lie has something u? sell.

In tho Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. one of the many publications controlled by Herr Stinnes, an annotated map was published recently, showing the organization of the Bolshevist propaganda throughout the various countries of Europe. According to this map, the entire organization is under a propaganda committee, composed of ZinovleiT. Itadek, Ciiicherin, Lunacharski, LitvinoiT. and Krassln. The working of tiiis committee is subdivided into sections, including an "official section," which has charge of soviet diplomatic and commercial delegations abroad; a "press bureau," which controls the numerous wireless stations; and various "secret sections," the functions of which are not made entirely clear. The ofllciul section Is directed from Riga by Litvlnoff. The Allgemeine Zeitung declares that Berlin is the ch'ef foreign center of Bolshevist activity. and alleges that the Berlin mis sldh supports the Bote Faline (the Berlin Communists' organ). Next in Importance to Berlin is Prague; liut Milan Is also an Important, propagandist center. From this latter point the tentacles are spread through the Italian, Swiss, and Jugo-Slav regions. According to the map. London Is not un Independent center, bnt is handled from Paris, to which city the Moscow authorities devote special attention.?The Living Age. "MIRACLE" WAS BEYOND HER Unfortunate Italian Woman Threatened With Death by Her Supeisti tious Townspeople. Torello Itossl, u peasant of Sail Prospere, Tuscany, had been I1L for some time. As the cures given did not Improve his condition, the population decided that he? was the victim of witchcraft. After tuking council together, they decided thut the witch must he discovered by the tests which have been in practice for ages, sujfc a Home dispatch. The family of Itossi were told to put his underlineu into a pot of boiling water, and then beat tlxeiu with rods. Tills prooess would causa grave physical pain to the witch, who would then cull and cure the sufferer. This was done, and a few days luter aaa old woman who had originally lived next door to Rossi appeured at the house. Her visit immediately condemned her ill ine eyes ol uie [lupuiiux ua mc i witch und she was ordered to free her supposed victim from his illness. She promised to do so, iiut salu that it was impossible unless she had the aid of three other worn/en who were more conversant with witchcraft than she was. But the three were not forthcoming, and the "miriBcle" was therefore left to the old woman, who tried everything she couhl think of to cure the sufferer, but without success. The crowd was finally aroused to such anger that the unfortunate woman wtould probably have been drowned in the "river but for the timely intervention of the carabineers. Old Knickers and Gcif Suit. The home folks were mystified the other day when Harold, who is attending an up-state university, wrote a letter to ids sister, Elsie, asking her to dig into his old trunk up in i lie aittic and send him tlie knickei^>ocker Norfolk suit he wore during his junior year iu high schooL Bomemibering with what joyous abandon Harold stepped out of shout pants into his first suit of long trousers, mother could not figure out why he should want to backslide. * A postscript cleared up the mystery, says the New York Sun. "All the fellows are wearing golf suits on the campus," Harold wrote, "especially on Saturduyu and Sundays. 1 know dad can't ulford to stake me to $6."i worth of new clothes, so I'll try to bluff the thing through with my old high school knldkers and about $2 worth of regulation golf stoekfcngs."
