Thu information which both these gentlemen have is to the effect that less grain has thus far been seeded than at any time during the past five years. Instead of increasing the hog productiou of the state, as urged by 1 he government, the farmers of South Carolina actually own fewer hogs than in 1915. It was reported that a large propor lion of the farm laborers of the state are working not more than half time. Muh c ottn remains to be gathered and is getting blue in the lields. A sca re ity of corn is 1'epotl'(ed it many towns in the state, although abundant crops have been made d it is hang ing ripe in the liehis. There is a gen oral coiplait of lack of fuel in near ly every town in this state; and al though high prices are offered for wood, it is said that very little labor eau he secured to cut it and !iaul it to market.

GOLDEN TEXT-The Lord is m Helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.-Hebrews 13:6. The lesson of November 18 spoke of Nehemiah journeying to Jerusalem. After his arrival he spent three days in looking over the work ; then he told the priests and other leaders his 1)lans. E nthusiasm was awakened, all classes were aroused, the work of the building of the wall of the city Was al)Portioned among the people, and soon half of the wall was completed "for the people had a mind to work." I. The Wrath of the Enemy, vv. 7-9. The progress of the work kept up the anger of Sanballat the Horonite and his friends who formed an nlli ance to hinder the wall being built (vv. 7, 8). When God begins to work through his people, Satan is aroused and tries to interfere. It is no sign that a Christian is out of the will of 00(1 when opposition is felt. The enemy will always be on hand to try to hinder whenever a real work for God is going forward. Dead formal Christianity runs smoothly and with deadly monotony and Satan lets it alone, but as soon as some results of real work are seen, opposition is at once felt. Thus it was when God sent his Son into the world, and so It his been in every movement for God in the church, and so it will be In the individual Christian life. From the next verse (9) we would almost think that Nehemiah had heard our Lord's injunction to "watch and prny." Ninny do much watching and fall; nany do much praying and fail; but sone ever turns to watching and pray nag without finding victory. Prayer alone means sloth; watching alone nwans pride; but watching and pray ng victory. 11. Internal Opposition, vv. 10-14'. anballat and his friends were not lie only ones Nehemah had to con end with. Among those that worked n the wall were some shirkers and ;rumblers. They had become discour iged . In the work and began to say they could never complete it (v. 10). If Satan fails to hinder the work 'rom the outside, he will attempt to create dissatisfaction on the inside. internal confusion of the church is mnore to be dreaded than open opposi inn from n known enemy. Dissension tnd Confusion in the church can usu illy he traced to workers becoming dis rnuraged. The plot of the enemy to make a surprise attack was dis Povered by the JTews who lived out itde the city. They reported it not rnce-. but ten times, with the sugges tion that the work on tihe wvall he stopped, and safety sought by leav ing the city altogether (vv. 11,. 12). When tile enemy's open opposition fails and1 discoulragement has been tried, an attempt is madle to bring fear upon tihe w'orker's. But the Bible ist full of exhortations for Christians to "fear not." Could these workers, on tihe walls of Jerusalem have- seen. the unseen, it wouldl have made little dif ferences to them wvhether the enemies were numbler'ed by tenls or thousands, and could Chri'stians today realize that G0(1 is for them, nil opposition wvould he as Ilothing, (I Cor, 10:13; Rom,. 8 :31 ; Phil. 4 :13). Nehemiah at once pr'oeeeded to allay the fears (13. 14). Armed forces were arranged about tile wa'ills to guard against the reported surprise at taek. Tile warri ors were'i phIiced( so t hat ini thle evenlt oif battle theiy wouhil be( protecting thieirI owniiI' parlular fitilie ls. Then Nehemoinhiii made(11 a short speechl of en "oura 'igemen('t toE thme people, tile heart of' wh'i wasl "Remember the Loici whlich is great tand1( terrile." Remem her'intg himIl woutld dri've tile tear away. Thel(y whot are on( theI11 Lord's side0 are' alrea'tdy yle'tors event before the hat tIle hats htEgnn. Somfeonle said( to a gre'at Igte''ral be'fore' a (Crtalin halt ti(' hegnn : "I hlope tihe Lord is Onl our shdE'." The repuly was : "I trust we are onl tile Lor'd's sideC." When this is the (eemies hue few or many. Ne'he m11ah1 thea exhorted them:1 to fight for' their famtilies and1( their hlomels. Tis ll'wo-foild s'creQt of tile victory is pre se'ted'( to us ove'r and over in this boo0k of- Neheahl and nowheore is so pro'n-. Inent nts ini this lesson. Victory for tile Chrltistiant dependls on twvo tintgs: WVe must trust in tile Lord as thloughl all d'pended 0on him, nnd1( we must work and1( fight na thloughl all dlependedl on us. This is the secret of tile suc cess of Nelhminh. ill. The Progress of the Work, (vv. 15-21). Thle speechl of Nehlemiahl hav ing quieted tihe fear's of tile people and tile enemily having hlear'd that their plans were known and that 00(d had~ brioughut their counsel to nought, all thme people r'etuirned to tile work with Yenlewedl enthulsiasnm and1 purpose (15i). There was a1 rearrangement of force's (10-21). Half of the people workcedl half, full armed, stood guard. A trum peter was beside Nehemiah, so thlat at thle first alarml from outslde all thle worket s and warriors could be called 10 the thlrentenaed spot.

UNDER STRICT QUARANTINL Few Soldiers Are Seen on the Streets of Greenville Now-Measles Cases on Decrease. Camp Sevier, Greenville.-Anxiety as to the manner in which the sol diers will fare during the cold days ahead may now be laid at rest for good and all, as overcoats have arriv ed and have been distributed for every, man in the division, each man has been provided with one suit of winter underwear, and 27,000 more suits, enough to give every soldier two, are one their way by express from Utica, N. Y. This equipment is ample to keep even the thinnest blooded 'indi vidual warm in the coldest weather likely to occur here, and no one can longer imagine with reason that any soldiers at Camp Sevier are suffering hardships from insufficient or im proper clothing. In addition, there are now on hand for issue some 20,000 pairs of marching shoes and when these are issued the number of pairs per man will be almost three for the entire division. With the provisions of the quaran tine strictly enforced, the streets of Greenville are practically deserted of soldiers. At Camp Sevier little out of the ordinary could be noticed, as the order does not Interfere with drill or instruction. Medical authorities emphasize the fact that the quara- - tine was ordered solely as a precau tionary- measure and as the quickest way of dealing with the satuation. The e number of cases of measles develop. Ing daily has fallen off considerably in tire fast few days, having been twice as large as at present, while' there is less pneumonia than was to be expected in view of the prevalence of measles; and very- few deaths from this cause- S'porad'ie cases of menin gitis have occurred, but nothing is feared' from this source. At several other camps both the hospital admis sion and' the non-effective rates are higher. Venereal affection at Casnp Sevier is practically non-existing. The quarantine order: "L Owing to an epidemic of mea sles, numerous cases of lboumonia and several cases of spinal meningi tis, all members of the command', in luding all camp organizations wfhlch to not properly belong to the Thirti th Division, will' be quarantined within the limits of the reservation and prohibited from visiting any. cit es; towns, villages, or civilian commu lities of any description. Concessions ueretofore granted for amusements within the camp are- susp~ended, and hcir~ places will' be closed dlurinig the- 4 -ontinuance of the quarantine, and nembers of the c-ommuand or camp will not be permitted to assem-ble in any building'. tent or inclosure operat. ad by a division, enaml, regimental or >ther exchange, Young Men's- C'hris Lian Associ-ati'n,. Knights of' Colum bus, Hostess House or other- similar place. "2. The- present orders with refer unce to segvegation of contact cases inf meastes or other diseases within the command will be continued as 'ueretofore. "3. That instruction. supply and ad rninistration of the division and all Aher matters pertati-nng therto will 2ontinue in the usual way. "'4. The commandi~ng officers of br-f gades, regiments and separate Inde. 4 pendlent organiz~atins- including camp iunits, are authorized to grant written permission to such lnd ividluals na may be necessar-y to transact business for ituthor-izedl miesses and exchanges, Government trucks will haul work men. All other requests for permnis. dion to go beyond the quarantine him Its will be refer, ed ti) briga'lo corn-4 muaniders. and in enso of organizations not belonging to brigadesx, to those "5. Violations of the order will be punished by cour-tmartial. "0. All exchanges will be required to construct suitable openings in their buildings where supplies can be sold ~' to- men on the outside, as men not. y regularly empllloyed therein will not b)e permitted to enter these places. Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus buildings may operate in same way. "8. The co-operation o fthe entire command is expected, and it is esseni til that this be0 giveni, in order that the causes which necessitated the es islblishmenlt of the quarantine may be n omnptly removed and the quarantine iiscontinued." - In the way of- ordnance equipment, the division has easily enough to prac Lice with, and as there is not enough to provide full equipment for each ra on thepoliy of te twart dprment ad to apportion out the remainder umong the troops in training, with a view to giving each enough to train' wvith. The Thirtith Division is short nly some 3,500 rifles and as it still lacks about 2,000 men of being full, this shortage is really insignificant. l'here are plenty of rifles to drill with
