TURNING ON THE LIGHT.
The Messenger carricd last week
an advertisement from the Cotton
Manufacturers Association, giving
some important information. In view
of the conditions existing at this
time among the textile plants of this
and other states, it was a wise con
clusion for the manufacturers to give
reliable and definite information con
cerning this mat.-r. There will be a
series of these advertisements ap
pearing in the newspapers of the
state, and they contain information
the public should be interested in.
If the questions discussed in these
advertisements arc read with an open
mind, they will do much not only for
the enlightenment of the general
public but will result in bringing a
hout a better condition with the
clearer understanding of all parties
concerned. The statements made in
these advertisements may be relied
upon, and should there be any ques
tion not made clear to those who may
be interested the proof can readily
be obtained. It is a good ielea to
turn on the light, and that is what
the Cotton Manufactuerrs Association
is doing.
WE PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Our friend, Mr. Newton Kelly, has
made the following complaint against
us in a letter received from him last
week:
"Dear Sir: I wan surprised when
I saw The Messenger of this week
to see t'hat you had changed my ar
ticle that I sent you to print. I sent
it to The Chronicle and they would
not print it at all. Now I thought
you would print it for me, but you
changenl it to suit yourself. Will
you print this piece as written? I
think you should. The public de
mands a square deal, does it not?
Let's have it? what say you?
Newton Kelly."
We plead not guilty to changing
Mr. Kelly's article addressed to The
Chronicle to suit ourselves. We
handed the original article, or the
copy as he stated it was, to the
linotype operator and in setting it
up, through inadvertence several
words were omitted, and as we did
not read the proof we did not know
but that it was pr'nied just as it
was written. We publish the sen
tence in which several words were
unintentionally droppenl out as fol
lows, with the omitvxl words in par
enthesis: "You say the County Board
ali wants the road paved and have
all agreed on (it, and that the dele
gation have all agreed) on said road."
Just read th^Pntire sentence, ig
noring the parenthesis and you will
have it just as Mr. Kelly wrote it.
We had no desire to e-hange anything
in the article, nor did we object to
publishing it, and any opinion we
might have regarding this road would
not induce us to refuse to publish
n statement from Mr. Kelly or any
one else whether or not their views
coincided with ours. We plead not
guilty to having changed the wording
of the article to suit ourselves.
TAX GASOLINE WITH CARE.
Fear is expressed from many au
thoritative quarter* that gasoline
taxing may be overdone. Since 1919,
when the first of such taxes was
levity), there have been steady in
eraeses in the rate, until today the
tax equals 10 to 30 per cent of the
retail price of gas in the various
states.
A reasonable tax, with all receipts
applied to highway building and main
tenance, is probably the best way of
solving the demand for good roads.
But when the funds are applied to
other state expense, the motorist has
cause for complaint.
Opinions of newspaper editors of
the United States show that a great
number of them oppose exhorbitnnt
gas taxes because they encourage ex
travagant spending, represent class
legislation, tax a necessity instead of
a luxury, are increasing too fast,
harm business by discouraging con
sumption and cause other difficulties.
In an article in the New York
Times, Dr. F. G. Crawford of Syra^
eusP University, said that "legisla
tures may go too far with increases
And bring about a reaction to a most
successful tax. There in already
some tendency in this direction."
Last year the gasoline tax aver
aged about $15 per car, or a total
of $300,000,000. It would seem that
this sum, with the other available
funds, if used intelligently for high
way purposes, would provide neces
aary paved or rf>cked roads. To use
IfAB tax money for other purpose* is
an imposition on the motorist. r ''
Missouri, realizing the ' danger of
an exorbitant tax, has fixed the
rate a* two cents per gallon for 10
years. Sensible taxation is a suc
cess, oppressive taxation benefits no
one and discourages progress.

FELT

AFTER EATING
Foira TKAR8 ago, I
Buffered with heart*
burn and bilious indi
gestion. Whatever I
ate disagreed with
me. Gas on my stom
ach made me very
uncomfortable. My
tongue was coated
and my color was
bad. I needed a good
laxative, and so my
mother-in-law gave me some
Black-Draught and told me to
take it. I found it helped me
very much, 00 I bought it for
myself. Seems it was the very
thing I needod. It is a fine
family remedy, and I use it
when I Deed something for
constipation.
"I also give Black -Draught to
my children whenever they need
something for colds or upset
stomachs. Our whole family

PHIMAHY TOPIC? Finding a Lo*t
Rook.
J UN I OH TOPIC? Finding a Lost
Book.
INTEHMEDl ATE AND SENIOH TO H
IC ? Discovering a Guidebook.
YOUNG PEOPLE ANU ADUL'l TOP
IC ? The Bible In National Life.
I. The Book of the Law Found (vv.
14-17).
1. The occasion (v. 14).
It was while restoring the temple
during Josinh'8 reformation that the
Book of the Law was discovered. No
doubt, In clearing out the dark corners
to make repairs and to llnd a place
to store the subscriptions made by the
people, many things which hail been
lost were found, among which was the
law. This was "the law of the Lord
given by Moses."
2. The book delivered to the king
(vv. 15-17).
In a report of tho work, the king
was Informed of the finding of the
Hook of the Law by llilklah, and the
book was delivered to him.
II. The Effect of the Reading of the
Law (vv. 18-28).
Shaphan, the scribe, rend the law
before the king.
1. The king rent Ills clothes (v. 10).
As the law was read before him,
the king was led to realize the awful
extent of the nation's departure from
God. lie knew thnt sin merited pun
ishment. The function of the law Is
. to reveal sin. The rending of the
royal robes Indicated thnt the king
was penitent and sorrowful.
2. The king sent n deputation to
mnke Inquiry of the Lord (vv. 20. 21).
The king Included himself in guilt
before God. "Go Inquire for me nnd
for them that nre left ? for great Is
the wrath of the Lord thnt Is poured
out upon us." Ills sense of sin was
so keen that lie sent to Inquire of the
Lord ns to whether there was any
means of diverting the divine Judg
ments. Instinctively, the human heart
turns from God's threatening Judg
ments to a means of escape. The
soul that sorrows for sin Inquires for
n wny of escape. The Inw prepared
for the gospel. The law Is our school
mnster to bilng us to Christ (Gnl
3:24).
3. Too message of lluldah, the
prophetess (vv. 22-28).
(1) Confirmation of what the Inw
snld (vv. 22-25).
She paid that all the curses written
In the Inw must fall, for the sins bad
been so flngrant thnt God's wrnth
could not ho reBl rained. Dost nu t Ion
was hnnglng over Jerusnlein nnd It
was too late to nvert It. It was not
too late, however, to repent and to ob
tain mercy from God, but the outward
consequences of sin must be realized.
Fulfillment of this Is found on every
hnnd today. The murderer must hnng.
(2) Acceptnnce of Joslnh's repent
ance (vv. 2(5-28).
Hecnuse of bis tenderness of heart
and deep penitence, the Lord snld he
should be gathered to his grave In
pence nnd should not see all the evil
to bo brought on Jerusnlem and Its
people. What lluldah snld was true,
even though Joslnh died In bnttle
(35:23-25). When God necepts n
mnn nnd forgives him, his death Is n
penceful one, even though It mny be
on the bnttlefleld. God's presence Is
with him, therefore he will go strnlght
from the bnttlefleld to the heavenly
home.
III. The Law Obeyed (vv. 20-33).
1. The king read the law (vv. 20.
30).
He gathered together the Inhabit
ants of Jerusalem, Including the
priests, Levlt 'S nnd elders, and read
unto them law.
2. The king .ade a covenant before
the Lord to keep Ills commandments
nnd testimonies (vv. 31, 32). Ir tfojs
covenant he pledged himself to
three things:
(1) To walk before the Lord (v. 31)
This niennt Hint he would get person
nlly right with God.
(2) To keep God's commandments
testimonies nnd statutes with all his
henrt nnd soul (v. 31). To rend the
Inw Is not enough. Its holy require
merits must he obeyed.
(3) To perform the words of the
covennnt. which were written In rhe
book (v. 31). This was done sincere
ly nnd he caused nil thnt were pres
out "to stnnd to It."
3. The king took awny the abomlnn
Hons out of all the countries which
pertained to Israel (v. 3.1). All (he
days of Ihe king they departed not
from following nfter the Lord, the
God of their fathers.
