Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. ~ HARDING AND THE SOUTH r The gratifying information comes ,/rom a leading Southerner, W. E. ' Floding, a prominent manufacturer 'of Atlanta, thnt President-elect Hard'ing will be a friend of the South. Senator Harding stated to Mr. Floding, that he hoped to win the confidence of the southern people by doing all that he can for the advancement of the southland, and he let it be known that there will be no radical action taken in the payment of political debts. In a rather careful search of the Congressional Record to find some speech of Senator Harding while in the Senate that would indicate how he felt toward the South before the election we could find no speech from him upon that of any other subject. It has been charged that the big Republican leaders who controlled the Chicatro convention selected Mr. Hard ing for this very reason that he had not committed himself to any thing and that when elected they ? would dictate his policy BIG OR LITTLE CONGRESS? In discussing the subject of adding to the present number of congressmen there a variety of opinions, some contending' that a smaller body than at present would accomplish more for the country than would a larger and ? more unwieldly body. In this connection Congressman Stegall,of Alabama, caused much laughter by telling this anecdote. He said: "There was a great preacher down in my country who once held a big revival meeting. Soon after the meeting closed he met a friend and told | him about it. He *aid 't was the greatest revival he had ever known in his life. The friend was a religious man nuu, uemg ueugnteu wun me report, t; hastened to inquire, "And how many new members did you take in?" The preacher replied, "We did not take in any; we turned out 130." My friends this is the method to be employed in this body if we are to give the people the reform they desire at our hands." POOR OLD IRELAND In a recent statement the chief secretary for Ireland, Sir Ilamer Greenwood, made use of these rather hope ful words: "Before long there will be a new and happier Ireland, thanks largely to the forces of the crown." In the meantime assassinations are going on at a lively rate and so far as the news flMm the nnliaw ?c,m comes to this country the Irish Millenium is not in the near future. PORTERS AND PROFESSORS In a recent speech Congresstnai Blanton, of Texas, said that theri were in the public buildings in Wash ington City porters who were draw ing a salary of $1000 per year and . bonus of $2 10, making $1240 annua salary and then said that there wer college graduates teaching in the citj schools whose salary was not ove] $840 per year. This would indicat< that there is.something wrong not on ly in Washington, but throughout the country when the brain racking, perve racking profession of teaching is more poorly paid than the porters who stand around in each other's way working at jobs that require little physical labor and a very small amnnnf nf An exchange makes the rather caustic comment upon \V. J. Bryan's recent utterance that he"\vas glad Cox was defeated and sorry thut Harding was elected." It is suggested that only modesty kept \V. .1. B. from mentioning the man who outfht to have been elected. And yet VV. .1. B. In a not been noted for his modesty.

D., Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (?. 1920, Western Newspaper I'nlon ) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 6 THE MARRIAGE FEAST. (May B? Used With Missionary Applications). LESSON TEXT-Matt 22:1-14. GOLDEN TEXT?Go out Into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come In.?Luke 14:23. REFERENCE MATERIAL?Isa. 55:1-11; | I. The King's Feast Despised (vv. 1-7). i The previous parable exhibits the attitude of the Jewish people toward * the king up to the crucifixion of ' Ciirlst. This one carries us beyond ? the cross, even through the present ape of the Gentiles. The marriage ? feast which the kinp made for liis son v and to which he invited guests represents t lie gracious offer of God to give ' Joy ami blessing to certain of His creatures. Tills feast hns lieen made in honor of his Son and is an exceeding rich one. His oxen and fatlings are ready. His repeated invitations show God's enTnestness in seeking to hless men. God does more than simply invite men once; Jle presses His invitation again and again most earnestly. How many times from our childhood has He not pressed His invitation upon us! The attitude of those Invited, toward the invitation and toward the king is passing strange and exceeding sinful. To treat the king's invitation with such contempt after he had made ouch costly preparation deserves the severest punishment. They not only neglected It but iii.i.n- iifiiu ?u 11 iimi innrien on to their worldly business, showing that they regarded It as of more importance than the salvation of their poor lost souls. Some went forth and even did violence to the messengers of the king, killing them. While this Is a picture of the attitude of the Jews from Christ's crucifixion to the destruction of Jerusalem. It has Its counterpart in the day in which we live. Some today are Indifferent to God's invitation; some are making light of God's way of salvation, and others are hostile to the messengers of Christ. Their attitude and behavior incited the anger of the king and lie executed vengeance upon them, hurtling up their city. , This was historically fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem hy the Romans in 70 A. P., and is typical of what lie will do to those that neglect or reject Ills invitation at the close of this dispensation. II. The King's Invitation Accepted (vv. 8-10). When those who were first invited refused, the king sent his servants in uiiiiTf*; xor nis tame must tip pro vided the guests. Hp has prepared this fpast at an infinite post, and most urgently invites to the accept- < a nee of it. Though He urgently In- ^ vltes lie will not compel any one to accept. Those that were shut out were shut out because they refused to ac- J eept. not because the king was unwll- I ling. When this was done he sent tiis servants among the Gentiles. ( which Is shown In His going into the J highways and hedges. III. The King Inspecting the Guests (vv. 11-14). s As he made this Inspection the king ^ found one among the guests who had \ ^ not on a wedding garment?had not i eon formed to the regulations of the | ' feast. The custom in the Kast was v for the king to furnish the guests with 0 a suitable garment. TluWe could thus s lie no excuse for not having one on. t Therefore, tills act of the man showed f that he only accented the invitation _ J1 for seltish ends, not desiring to conform to the regulations of the king y The wedding garment which the Kin* provided in this case Is the righteous- ( ness of Christ, which alone will en- | title one to the place at the King's I marriage feast. This righteousness is n obtained by faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. c ti I 11 666 Break* & cold quicker than any a medy we know. n< By Charles I O Wrttrrrt / NER ALVJMS fcOOSYWACr^ w \ PER.

In the previous parable the responsibilities of the subjects of the kingdom were before as for consideration in the light of the obligation to render to the householder the fruits of his vineyard. In this one the ethic Is changed, and the privileges and blessings of the kingdom are placed on exhibition. Tills parable lifts the coin-option of the kingdom and places it on a high plane. It Is much more ' than paying rent to a king; it is feasting at the King's table on fat things , which He has prepared with great ex- j pense to Himself.

As Mrs. Adams hart * ' heen the wife of the first American envoy in London site was also the first mistress of the White House, if for on)y a few months. On the way from Philadelphia she and the president lost their trull in the wilderness until a "straggling black" came to their assistance. The capltol was yet unfinished, and out of a desolate bog. far off, the unfinished White House < use to view. There \Vas neither a fence nor a tree about tlie structure, and the president's nearest neighbor dwelt half a mile away. Mrs. Adams had a hard lime to net wood enough to keep her family warm In the biff, blank mansion, and she smiles at us still as her letters tell us of how she hung her washing to dry in the great east room. Aftor sitting at ids desk until midnight hastily signing appointments, to forestall his successor, Adams drove out of Washington at the dawning of the day of Jefferson's Inauguration. He hud no smiles to bestow on tbe triumph of his rival, and few enough to light his own pathway, through his remaining years. After Ids brave, good helpmeet had been taken from him, he lived on eight years more, lived to see what no other ex-president lias seen, a son in the White House. At ninety, as lie lay living In the sunset of the fiftieth Fourth of July, we are told that his tbought8 turned to the first and most glorlofts Fourth and that his ll^s murmured "Thomas Jefferson still survives."

The president made the fatal mistake of keeping "Washington's cabinet, . v I John Adams. which really had passed under the control of Hamilton, who presumed to direct the new administration, very much as a Tammany boss puts a Tammany mayor through his paces. As Adams never had succeeded in ruling himself it was impossible for another to ride him. 2 Like aristocracies everywhere, the ) Federalists were thrown Into a state of panic hy the French revolution und by the rise of the .TeiTcrsoninn democracy in our yet aristocratic republic. In their alarm they frantically rushed through congress the a!!c? and sedition acts, which became only millstones about their necks, sinking their party forever. Not satisfied with shutting the revolution out of the New World, many of them were for joining the monarchical coalition against it in the Old World. In an uproarious quarrel with the absurd French directory, the militia was called out and Washington summoned to command it, I after which the president astonished the jingoes by suddenly throwing them I over and returning to a pacific policy. As he had been the first minister
