AN AGE OF WONDERS So many remarkable things art happening in this old world of our> that we neetl not he surprised at any new discovery or invention that thi W mind of man may brim; forth . l'rob f ably the most wonderful and the lat est sUKtfi'Sted proposition comes fron Marconi. There has been a peculiai happening to the wireless and Mar coni does not understand from what source it comes. When he was asker if it mijjht not be that Mars, the near est planet, was trying to sijrnal to tin earth, he saiil, there was a probability of such an attempted me sarc fron Mars. At any rate queer signals ari earning to New York and to London the source of which cannot he ex plained by the scientists who an making a study of the phenomenon. Of course it is not known as t< what description of occupants in I habit Mars, or even whether the plan I et is occupied. 1 Hilt sthmi LI i 111 <?11 viirn*!1 como to the earth, or should our scientific experiments K*'t a messatri to Mars it would i? not much more remarkable that some the wonderful achievements of tire present century, In. line with these thoughts is tlu m^statement upon authority of an enjfineer of :t radio company that the possibility of wireless telephone conversation at any distance is under consideration and that it is a question of time when this uchietvement will be perfected. This accomplishment will be welcomed especially if so per fected that we won't be told "the line's busy" when we have an important message to tfet off. Related to these won i< rfu' matters is one other that partakes of the Nature of miracles. .lame- Morton liickson has come to America from ICn? ' land and has performed miracles of neanrig upon nui'lreUs of atllicted people. This remarkable man recently visited Atlanta and scores of alikeled people testified to his having healed them of various informities. One of Atlanta's leading ministers of the Presbyterian Church made the visit of the healer the subject of a sermon in which he expressed full confidence in the work of Mr. Mickson. We quote a few paragraphs from his sermon as published in the Atlanta Constitution: Rev. Dr. Holderby said: "There is no doctrine in the Rible more plainly taught," he said, "than that of the divine healing, that Jesu gave to his church for all time the authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal all manner of diseases. "The command of Jesus was twofold?namely, to pr< ueh the gospel >id to heal th?- sick. Rut only a part of this command has been obeyed by (he church in all these centuries. The gospel has been preached in part, but the sick have not been heeled. "Mr. James Morton Hickson, the English apostle of 'divine healing' come to Atlanta and has gone, coming, his simple preaching HH^^^jrwiikcncd a deep interest in this mmasaaBsaBaamms^^aass=t=a~ jgreat and much neglected doctrine of Jesus Christ. Hundreds of afflicted people have flocked to him and some have been healed, many helped." c Friends of Herbert Hoover deny thut the gentleman is seeking the 4 presidental nomination. If the nomi- * nation seeks Hoover will it get him? He has played the port of Joseph c during the years of war and famine. Will he be rewarded as Joseph was 1 and make the ruler of the nation? t ?? ???

F. Conradi, of, he Crop Pest Commission. All per- < op? ihtereted in cotton poisoning are j alvis <; t(? write to the Secretary of 1 \gi i< u t ure, Washington, I). for I 'ariri'-.s' Bulletin No. 1098, which 1 'ivi I' dl information about the proge f dusting machines for dusting ' n 192o. While the progress in this i vork i promising, farmers are again ' au'vioitd to proceed with care be- 1 ause there are many details that nust still be worked out. ' Furthermore, the number of dust- < iig machines in sight at this time is iot suliieient to dust the arsenate of inie available. The older types of ' usting machines are not adapted for u ting boll weevil poison, and farm- ' is nr.- cautioned to inform them,elves in regard to any machine be- i 'ore purchasing. > In the coast.'il counties, if the sea- t on of 1920 is favorable for weevil levelopment, severe damage may be xpectod, but farmers in the middle i ind upper part of the State will not ' lave suliieient damage under any con- 1* litmus to take large chances with the <ois..ning, and they can easily wait 1 inotiiei year until the work has de- r celoped where more definite recom- < Herniations can be made for average I 1 plantation conditions, 1 LABOR IN POLITICS 11 A Washington report states that a ominitte of the American Federation j <f Labor has made plans for a na- ' ion-wide campaign for the-purpose j >f securing control of Congress and ; >f electing friendly national and State officials throughout the entire :ountry. i This indicates that organized labor las at last gotten on the right track. IVith its efforts to compel acquiescence to it wishes by means of strikes end threats the American peo>le have had no patience, but everyone must recognize and respect the right of the labor unions, as well as ill o'.her citizens, to use their ballots uul to persuade others to use their ballots in any lawful manner which they may deem advisable, whether for the purpose of electing candidates r >r public office whom they favor or of , defeating those whom they oppose find whether their purpose in attempting so to elect or defeat candidates for office is to secure the enact- j ment of legislation favorable to or. I iranized labor or the repeal of legis- i lation considered unfavorable. That is one aspect of the matter. There is another, however, which may not be so pleasant to consider. > It is said. The history of organized labor, and especialld that of the past: few months?covering as it does the I Plumb Plan for the public ae |uisi-' Lion of the railroads for the benefit >f organized labor, and other nationllization plans?clearly indicates that while organized labor may be depended upon to look out for the interests o! organized labor its methods of thinkng and acting are so selfish that it ;eannot be depended upon, if permitted secure political power, to give he rest of the people of the country .wen a reasonably square deal. And in this lies the real danger of the situation. The Washington report states further that the political campaign of these laborites will be "bi-partisan." It is said that in each district they will govern their efforts according to the political tendencies of the people of the district. Thus, in each district they will seek out or nominate and support candidates favoring organized labor who are members of the party which is strongest in that district, and will fight all other candidates of whatever party they may he. While this plan may perhaps not be strictly according to iloyles, it seems likely to prove very effective ;and,since the purpose of organized labor in pursuing this plan is unquestionably wholly selfish,there is in the situation a serious menace to the welfare of the American people. The question arises, then, as to how it may be possible to avert or at least minimize this menace as far as possible. The answer would seem to be a powerful coalition of the really patriotic elements of the Democratic and Republican parties. While an immediate coalition of this kind seems highly desirable and, we believe, must come before very long as a direct and powerful answer to the selfishness and donnishness and rapidly increasing solidarity and aggressiveness of laborites and other classes v.ho claim to represent the "masses" but who really represent nobody 'out themselves, It would be vain to expect any such action in the immediate future. The disposition to cling to old party lines and names is so strong that it will probably continue for a time even though it results in a delivery of the control of the country to the minority forces of organized labor and its present allies. It i n?* v it 21 hi?? hf?vv*tf?v!?r thnt there shall come a time, and perhaps in the not distance future, when old party lines will he broken and when those who staunchly support the K(,neral welfare of the whole American people will be lined up on the one -ide and those who are concerned in the selfish interests of their own particular minority class will be lined up nn the other side. Then, and not until then will the rights and liberties of our whole people be safeguarded. AGGRESSIVE TOWN MERCHANTS find it profitable business to deliver iroods ritfht tit the door of his farmer customer by motor truck hauling. The cost is small, lon^ trips are made quickly, and it results in a much larger volume of business. The farmer is fast learning that tie, too can deliver j^oods from his storehouse of Nature to the town merchants as cheaply and as quickly us they can deliver to him. In both cases, the slow, expensive aid horse and wa^on method of transportation must he abandoned and motor trucks substituted. Hut a verv common mistake which both the farmer and merchant make is selecting a truck that is too frail .nd too small for heavy loads and ' ugh roads. The popularity of the Indiana [ 'arm Truck is based on its special construction and the fact that it is "( ally superior to all road conditions. The performance of this particular ruck over country roads in all secions of tin- State is not approached >y any other make of motor truck. Kspecially designed for Farm huulng it has important features of eon.Lruction that makes it a favorite miong farmers everywhere. Farming with an Indiana Farm I'ruck equipped with portable power inits gives the farmer the most ecolomical belt power obtainable for all duds of work done around a farm. Time payments to substantial 'armors is also an additional inducement offered by the Carolina Motor Company, of Statesville, N.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Significance of the Conversion of Cor.nellus. The conversion of Cornelius broke , down the "middle wall of partition" between the Jews and Gentiles (Kph. i 2:4). I 1. Cornelius (vv. 1. 2). 1. His official position (v. 1). He was a Roinuu officer over a company of 100 soldiers, perhaps of about the > same rank as a captain in the American army. ? 2. Ills character (v. 2). (1) A devout, pious man. His heart was filled with godly fear. (2) He was a praying man; he observed the Jewish hour p of prayer. (8) He was charitable; he gave much alms. (4) He was respected by his family. The Lord chose Cornelius for the transition of the Gospel to the Gentiles because of his character and position. No Jew could 11ml any fault wiili him. He whs a good man, Imt ] not n saved man. II. The Supernatural Preparation for the Transition of the Gospel to the Gentiles (vv. 3-38). 1. Two visions wore given. (1) The vision of Cornelius (vv. 3-8). Whilo ^ engaged In prayer an angel of Hod Instructed him to send to Joppu for Peter, who would toll him what to do. The angel told him that Peter lodged with Simon, a tanner, to show Cornelius that Peter was uot the strictest Jew. The culling of a tanner was regarded as unclean by the strict Jews, and the tanners were commanded to dwell apart. Cornelius sent at once for Peter. He- was living up to the best light he had, so lu> received more. (2) The vision of Peter (vv. P-10). This took place while Peter was praying (v. 0). If one would receive visions from God, let him pray to God; for the heavens are open to those who pray. He saw a certain vessel containing clean ami unclean animals let down from heaven, and heard the command: "Jti.se, Peter; kill, nnd eat." Peter protested that |ie had never eutcn any unclean thing. God replied: "What God hath cleansed, call not thou common." This vessel let down from heaven anil taken hack Indicated that both Jew and Ucntlle were accepted on high. 2. Messengers froin Cornelius (vv. 17-22). Peter was greatly perplexed over what he had seen, hut not for long; for messengers from Cornelius made Inquiry nt the gate for him. The spirit Informed Peter of the matter ami hade him go, nothing doubting. 3. The meeting of Cornelius and Peter (vv. 23-33). (1) Peter took six witnesses along (v. 23). He had the good judgment to know that on a matter of so great Importance he must have witnesses. This was proved at the Jerusalem council In the consideration of the question of the reception of the Gentiles Into the church (11 tils). (2) Cornelius waiting for Peter (v. 24). He called together his kinsmen and near friends. (3) Cornelius about to worship Peter (vv. 25, 211). Peter repudiated this act and protested that he was hut a man. Tim true man of God not only dislikes, hut re fuses to be worshiped. (4) Tho reciprocal explanation (vv. 27-33). Peter explained to him how (Jod had taken from him his Jewish prejudice and asked that Cornelius state tho purpose of his having sent for him. Cornelius explained how Cod l*id appeared unto him and instructed hltn to send for Peter. III. Peter's Sermon (vv. 34-43). 1. The introduction (vv. 34, 3.r>). He showed that Hod Is no respecter of persons, but that in every nation those who fear Hod and work righteousness are accepted of him. 2. The discourse (vv. 30-43). In the discourse he touches briefly upon the mission of Jesus, showing that by means of his baptism ami anointing with the lliilv Xolrit tu? wn? mi.ill. flail for his work us mediator. Ho thou exhibited the work of Christ (1) in Ids life (vv. !?" -;{!I). (*J) Iti Ids ilerth (v. 80). (8) In his resurrect Ion (vv. It). 41). IV. The Holy Spirit Poured Out (vv. 44-4R). This was a new Pentecost. As the fjospel was entering upon Its widest embrace the Spirit came In new power. Power of Faith. Christianity has its best exponents In tlie lives of the saints.
