PHONES: Oflice, 12; R esidence, 615 The time is nearly at hand when farmers sow good ( Grain. If you are following peas with grain or if your Iandl is in a good state of cultivation we recommend our 10-4 or our 1o-6. This is made of p)hosphoric acid and Potash. Neither of these leach in the soil from rain or snow but stay in the ground until they are taken up as plant food. SO IF YOU FERTILIZE Your grain with T0-4 or 10-6 and the grain is killed during the .winter your fertilizer isn't lost, it is * there for the next crop. If your land is not in a good state of cultivation * we recommend our 10-1-3 or our 10-1-4. This has one per cent ammonia which is sufficient for the grain to ~et a good firm hold, a good start off. After danger of frost has passed next spring grain should be top dressed. Oats come in handy in the early summer to finish out a crop and then stock do better when they are fed liberally on oats during the wvork season. Wheat comes in wvell at any time. * Our 10-4 is the cheapest first class fertilizer you .can use on grain in tune fall. Mr. \V. I1. Glenn has . been fertilizing his grain in tho fall for several years 4 with our 0o-4 pind recommends it highly.' To prep~ar e 'well three or four acres to the plowv and sowv in oats is good farming and pays handsomely. W. B. FREEMAN, Agent PICKENS, S. C. **~*~ PICKENS BANK PICKENS, S.

SELLERS; Diredtor of Evening Department, The Moody Bibte Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 5 MOSES' CRY FOR HELP. LESSQN TEXT-Numbers 11:10-18. 24. 25. GOLD.N TEXT-"The supplication of a ri gteous man gvalleth much in its worin."-James 6:16. This lesson is taken from the book of Numbers, "the book of journey ings," or aptly called the "book of mur murings." The events of. Exodus and Leviticus cover perhaps one or two years, whereas those recorded in Num bers occupy about 38 years. Read In this connection Ps.95:10 and I Cor. 10. From Sinai to Kadesl-Darnea are found four general murmurings. The first was at Taberah, 11:3, and the events of to day's lesson which occurred at Kibroth, 11:34. The other two were at Hazeroth, 12:15, 16, and Kadesh, 13:26. This book Is full of impress ive warnings about worldliness. Moses Was Human. I. Complaint and Controversy, vv. 10-15. Moses was great but he was human. No man is faultless, and in i this lesson we have another incident illustrating the weakness of Moses.. Yet de pito all this we find inserted: in the ery next chapter God's esti mate of his character, 12:3. Moses had been subjected to a terrible strain, the detail of his leadership, the con- ( stant murmuring of the people un der this load he gave way,-just as he had previously yielded to impulse, Ex. 2:12, and as he did subsequently, Ch. 20:10-13. The Israelites are a strik ing illustration of the natural discon tent of the human heart. Any af fliction, and discomfort or privation, and we forget'God's marvelous works t on our behalf. His wonderful good ness. That God was displeased is in dicated by verse 10, but that did not imply that Moses, too, was to lose t his temper, to resort to murmuring, V and to accuse God of being respon sible for the burden or that he would not help to share the load, v. 11. God placed great honor upon Moses by calling him to this task of leadershi, and now he complains, and doubts for t a moment God's sustaining grace, 2 1 Cor. 12:9; Phil. 4:13. The language t. here used, vv. 12-14, is wonderfully $ suggestive. The utter weakness of the Israelites, the promised goal, the hunger of soul and body, the sorrows of affliction are all graphically set r before us. Moses' own weakness is revoaled (v. 13) by his words, "where I should I have flesh to give?" He seems to forget absolutely God's dealings q with Israel before they reached Sinai ( (Ex. 16), as though God expected any] such thing from him. The height of his petulance and bitternpss is -reach - ed when he exclaims, "kill me I pray thee . . . and let me not see my wretchedness," v. 15. Burden DistrIbuted. ii. Comfort and Counsel. vv. 16-18, C 24, 25. Moses had been warned not to f bear the entire burden of leadership by his father-in-lawv, Jethro, Efx. 18:17, ti 18. Now that he is unwilling to take ,] the full honor of undivided leadership God most graciously grants his re quest and appoints others to share the burden and responsibility. There was no more power, however, but more machinery. God distributed the bur den and revealed the fact that Moses' - power was in proportion to his burden. Human nature always looks for the arm of flesh upon wvhich to rely, but such a reliance usually brings a curse not a blessing upon those who seek it, C Jer. 17:5. God dealt in mercy with h Moses. Notice how gently ho passes by this exhibition of infirmity and S notwithstanding this lapse, bears tes- a .timony to his faithfulness (12:7). Yet i: he is impartial in chronicling his faults 3 and thereby giving us an incidental and thereby giving us the truth. What a suggestion in the wvords "I will come dowvn and talk with thee," yet that is the privilege of the believ er in Christ, John 14:16, 17 and 16:13. God calls a "tent meeting," v. 16 R. y., but before he meets them they must sanctify themselves, for so only is one prepared to meet God, Ex. 19: 10, 15, 22. These people had been lust ing for the food of Egypt even as to day many who have professed to ac cept Christ are forever longing for the pleasures of time and sense. They forgot the bitterness of past slavery in the privations of the present, entire ly forgetful of the goal of luxury and freedom, Rem. 10:28, 2 Cor. 4:17. God granted their request, v. 18, to their sorrowv, v. 20. The whole trouble was then "rejected the Lord," v. 20 R. V. The granting of material prosperity tends to leanness of soul, Ps. 106:15. It frequently happens that God does not answer our prayers because he knows that to answer them actually and literally wvould spell disaster in our lives. Conclusion. This lesson brings Moses very near to us. Such a re markable man as he is ho sometimes seems to be far removed from our actual experiences in life. Yet as wve consider him faltering for a moment beneath his stagger'ing, crushing bur den of responsibility, with strength and courage gone, we share our synm pathy with him and he seems to enter hnto the actualitIes of our daily life.
