One may Imagine the beleaguered Israelites lifting eye? to the mountain horizons whence would appear the hosts of Jehovah for their help. ■ From whence f ~Y || " | l'jPMk jUfVf shall tn y h e I p come? There are summits that must ever mean / Ngj| inspiration and re- 4 inforcement for ^ the souls of men. They belong to tl>e Holy Land of history; they should become promontories in the Holy Land of the heart Help comes from Sinai. Beyond the Hat fields of Goshen and the divided sea the liberated Israelites camped in the austere shadow of the Mount of the Law. \ From that day Sinai has symbolized divine authority and obli gation. The. requirements of God and of righteousness must be regarded. Sinai has disappeared from the land scape of many lives, as it were a sunken continent. Homes there are without a window that looks toward Sinai, but I am grateful that my fa ther seemed to stand with outstretched arm and say to ills family of boy?, “Yonder is the Mount that means per fect obedience to God who will hold me responsible if I point not to old Sinai and let you know that it is there!” We knew that it was there. Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, of the Uni versity of Illinois, writes searchingly of the loss of the sanse of sin among masse? of present-day youth as he ob serves them. Browning’s terse putting of it still holds, “I report, as a man may, of God's work—all’s love, yet all’s law!” The love of God con sistently leaves Sinai on the horizon. Hslp comes from Calvary. Among mountains the uplifted peaks stir varied emotion j—yonder an object of unchallenged grandeur—there the spot where some mountain climber met his fate. On Calvary, our Shepherd of the Hills, the lover of the summits “tasted death, for every man” (Heb. 2:9). Calvary is the mount of mercy. Cal vary is r the test of the Gospel. As stated by an unknown writer—“If what you bear could have been said only because of the sacrifice on Cal vary, that is the Gospel. If what you iiear could have been snid as well without Calvary, this Is not the Gos pel.” The hill Calvary is the symbol of grace and mercy, love and atonement. It is the summit supreme, calling to <mr faith. From Hormon comes help. This was “the high mountain apart” to the heights of which Jesus led the favored three when He was transfigured before them. How many lesser summits were passed as the disciples made their way northward with their Master—Shiloh, Gilboa, Tabor—then Hermon at last, clothed in glorious majesty. Many need today to see the Christ of Hermon. He is to them the Healer by the roadside, the social mingler of the wedding wine, the preacher on the mount uttering the magua charta of human rights. But by these the trans figured Christ, with the glistening gar ments of deity, has not been seen. An eminent theological writer in cluded in a'church journal article these words. “Christ said . . . but lie was evidently mistaken and did not know what he was talking about!” Oh, for a Mount of Transfiguration for that man! Mount Hermon will denote two su perlatives for the soul that has met Christ there—a Christ all-glorious, “very God and very man,” clothed with unmistakable deityship. The other su perlative will be revealed in the “Jesus only” of the heart when all questions of purpose and conduct are rnlsed. “Jesus only,” His will and Hi? glory will be satisfyingly de- : tertninative. “Jesus only!” Olivet, the hill of comfort and of ! hope, will help. The scene of so many j nights of prayer, of so many hours of hallowed meaning became at the las: the Mount of Ascension from whence | Christ returned to the Father. “He . led them out as far as to Bethany, ami j He lifted up His hands and blessed them. And it came to pass while He blessed them He was parted from j 1 hem, and carried up into heaven.’ (Luke 24:50,51) “And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven a> i lie went up, behold two men stood by th&m in white apparel; which also ! said . . . till? same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven. ] shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven" (Aci> 1:10,11). A resurrected Christ a- cended, and to return in like manner: ! Surely Olivet is the hill of hope! Sinai thunders the law; Calvan proclaims salvation; Hermon declare- deityship; Olivet establishes hope, “i ^ will life up mine eyes unto the hills j from whence cometh my help.” Results Side Dressing Cotton Made PuWic Improved Uniform International St. M at t h e iv s Agricultural Teacher Made Study Last Year Of Side Dressing And Announces Results mm ' Lesson V ! ST. MATTHEWS, April 24—.Real izing that the time available for pro- i duc'ng a crop of cotton is much shelter now than before the advert i of the boll weevil, A. P. Cotton, vo cational agricultural teacher of St | Matthews, made a study last year with his students of the effect of side dressing cotton with quickly available nitrogen. The results have been made public. “Before the boll weevil came,” says Mr. Cotton, “we had the entire season in which to grdw and mature cotton. The season for growing cot ton has been shortened several weeks, fine: the appearance of the weevil and during the past few years meth ods of cotton production have under gone considerable change.” (By KKV. l J B.

He came running and kneeled to Jesus. This question re veals a void in his heart. He was a young man with a lovable character. “Jesus beholding him, loved him.” He was moral, honest, earnest and cour “Our Experiment Static* results,” „geous, but had a defective theology. ; says Mr. Cotton, “as well as the ex perience of many good farmers shows that the use of liberal amounts of quickly available nitrogen st : mul- ate''. growth as well as hastens the fruiting of the cotto n crop.” In order tr- tea'jh these lessons to the Agri culture Class, says Mr. Cotton, pro jects wore conducted with a number of students using at the rate of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre as a side dressing. A check plot was kept in each ’nstance where no side dressing was applied. Careful rec ords were kept of the increase due to side dressing. The size of the pULs on which the records were kept were one-tenth acre. The result^, were figured on an a/cre basis. W .C. Bozard, St. Matthews, fer- ■ lized his project before planting w th 375 pounds of an 8-3-3 fertil izer per acre. The yield where no side dressing was used was at the rate of 720 pounds of seed cotton per acre. Where 200 pounds nitrate of soda was applied as a side dressing, the yield was 1280 pounds of seed cdtton per acre or an increase of 560 pounds of seed cotton per adro from 200 pounds of nitrate of soda side dressing. The value of this in crease? at 7 cents per pound for seed cotton is $39.20 per acre. J. F. Rast, North, applied 400 pounds per acre of an 8-3-3 fertilizer before planting. This fertilizer with- <Ait side dressing produced at the rate of 900 pounds of seed cotton per acre, where the s : de dressing at the rate of 200 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda was applied the yield was at the rate of 1310 pounds of seed cotton per acre or an in crease cf 410 pounds df seed cotton per acre from 200 pounds nitrate of soda side dressing. The value of this increase at seven cents per • pound for seed cotton is $28.70 per acre. Duward Bozard, St. Matthews, fertilized his project with 300 pounds per acre of an 8-4-4 fertilizer before planting. Where no side dressing was applied the yield was the rate of 450 pdurds of seed cotton per acre. Where 200 pounds of nitrate of soda side dressing was applied as a sido dressing, the yield was 870 pound? seed cotton yer acre or an increase due to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda of 420 pounds seed cotton per acre. Th : s increase valued at seven cent? per pound fer seed cotton is worth $29.40 per acre. O. C. Hammond. St. Matthews, ap plied 500 pounds of an 8-4-4 fer tilizer per acre before planting on his project, which produced a yield at the rate of 400 pounds of seed cot ton without dressing. With the ad dition of 200 pounds of nitrate cx soda s’de dressing the yield was at the rate of 820 pounds of seed cotton per acre or an increase of 420 pounds seed cotton in favor of side dressing. This increase at 7 cents per pound fer seed cotton was worth $29.40. “The plots that were given a side dressing of quickly available nitro gen, in the form of nitrate of soda, grew rff faster and set a larger crop of fru’t before the heavy ravages of the boll weevil after the summer migration,” said Mr. Cotton. DR. HENRY J. GODIN Optometrist Thirty Year? Experience. A Specialist Examining Eyes and Fitting Glasse? j at Your Service. 956 Broad St. AUGUSTA. GA He thought that eternal life could be obtained by good works. Though he claimed to have kept the law, he was conscious of lacking something. • He was willing to do something to fill up that which was lacking, therefore he came to Jesus to make Inquiry as to that lack. 2. Jesus’ reply (vv. 18, 19). He knew the young man’s heart and put His linger on the weak spot In his life. Jesus reiterated the com mandments. The young man averred that he had all his life kept these coniVnandments, but when it came to parting with his possessions In order to help his neighbor he parted with the Lord, going away sorrowful. 3. Lacking one thing and yet lost (vv. 21, 22). When the Lord pointed out *o him that the defect in his life was the love of money, he was unwilling to pay the price. When the time came in his life to choose between eternal life and riches he chose wealth and parted company with Christ. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-27) Jesus said, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter Into the king dom of God.” When He discerned the astonishment of the d.Iscjples He answered again and said, ^How hard is it for them that trust In riches to enter Into the kingdom of God. It is easier for a cafnei to t po through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." The difficulty does not lie In the fact that a man possesses riches, for one may possess riches and still be an heir of Jhe kingdom. Wealth Is a mighty power. In itself it is gooff. It will provide bread for the widow and orphans, amelioration for the suffer- 1 ing. and send the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The peril of riches lies in trusting in them. How ever, the step from possession of riches to trusting in them is a very short one. The tendency of growing wealth is to destroy the noble life of the soul. So long ns a man possesses riches he Is safe, hut as soon as riches possess the man he is in deadly peril II. The Widow's Mite (Mark 12: 41-41). Jesus had spent a strenuous day and was now quietly watching the surging throng. Observe: 1. Jesus sitting over against the treasury (v. 41). The treasury was the place where the worshipers de posited their tithes and offerings Jesus sat where lie could see them drop their money into the chests, lie saw the poor casting into the treasury their small coins and He also saw tiie rich bringing large? coins. It is a solemn truth that Je sus’ eye always beholds the gifts ot the people. We may be able to con ceal them from the people, but we cannot conceal them from His eye 2. A certain poor widow threw into the treasury two mites (v. 42). The mite was the smallest copper coin made. The mite was worth about one-eighth of a cent, therefore her offering was one-fourth of a cent in value. 3. Jesus said unto His disciples. “Verily 1 say unto you that this poor widow hatli cast more in than all they which have cast into the treas ury” (v. 43). The Lord estimates gifts by the motive of the heart, not by their amount. 4. Gifts are measured by what the giver has left, not by what was gi\en (v. 44). This widow east into the treasury all that she had, even all her living. The rich gave of their abundance. Though their gifts were much more than that of the poor widow, yet they had an abundance left. This woman’s Influence goes on Many devoted Christians have fol lowed her example and have given their all. CHURCHCARDS Plum Branch M. E.
