Stevenson recently made a speech in Congress that must have been very instructive to some of the members of that body of lawmakers. Mr. Stevenson indicated by his speech that some of the Congressmen are woefully ignorant as to the cultivation of cotton. He stated that some members of Congress asked him how many years it took for cotton to grow, others wanted to know if the cotton crop had to be planted every year. They seemed to think it w'as like some kind of grasses that had to be planted only once and it would continue to grow, year by year, wilthout replanting. Mr. Stevenson went into details as to planting the seed, showing that besides the great expense attending the planting, the chopping and picking and ginning there was to be spent on an averaee $20 n??v 0- T ttvtv Avi lunui/AT to start with. He presented figures to show that at 20 cents per pound there would be a deficit of $65,550,000 and at 15 cents the deficit would be, in South Carolina, $180, 631,520 actual loss. HON. HAMILTON LEWIS HOPEFUL Hon. Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, who led the administration in the Senate, has been visiting Augusta, Georgia. In an interview with the Chronicle of that city he explained the most optimistic views as to the South's coming prosperity. He said: "The business of the nation will soon be huming with all prosperity, but particularly the South, and especially all the cotton states, will be the first to feel the new revival. "Our people," said the Senator, "must recall that Europe has to buy . from us for ten years all that is necessary to set her up in business and government housekeeping. The great countries of Europe are in the war and financial ashes. These lands will buy from us so soon as the new credits from our land are adjusted. This adjustment only awaits the establishment of the financial and economic policy of the new American administration. Then everything will start on the new road. "The South is now the cotton cloth country of the world. Its competitors in Europe and Asia cannot for six years get a start to supply their own needs. China and Japan demand Southern cotton at once. But exchange in money delays this supply to the Chinese and Japanese mills. "Senator Harris, of Georgia, when lately in the Orient, gave personal attention to this feature for Georgia, and the demand of Germany and Austria for the Southern cotton is only , waiting for our American banks to agree on some method of credit depending on the terms of the new peace treaty of the United States and Germany and her allies."

The Tribute Money (vv. 15-22). i I The Pharisees and Herodlans pur- di - posed to entrap Jesus and bring Him th Into conflict with the Roman govern- t) I ment, so they came to Him with the subtle question, "Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not!" At tills time the Jews were galling under the yoke of the Roman government. Some even denied the right to pay tribute to the government. To have answered : 2 this question by "yea" or "no" would y< have Involved difficulties. To have an- la swered "yes" would have conveyed the lo Inipresston of endorsement of all that o, the Roman government did. To have je answered "no" would have at once brought Him Into conflict with the government. It Is not an easy matter for a Christian always to determine his right relation to civil government. Many a minister has made a failure P< of hl^ work because he tried to solve al the problem. Christ's reply to this & question, properly understood and applied, is the final word on the sub* nj Ject. Until the civil authorities de- y)( mund of us that which Is a violation j of God's law, we are bound to render unto them obedience. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" ' |1 means me nignest obligation. Since j enjoying His protection nnd care It Is ei our duty to owe all allegiance to Illm, se to yield our lives to Illin In service, 2 worship and praise. Every one who _ enjoys the benefits of civil government r Is obliged to pay the taxes which are necessary for the support of that government, and every one who receives God's fnvor Is placed under a like obligation Tint? Him. II. The Qreat Commandment In the Law (w. 34-40). For the third time In one day the Lord Is tried by hard questions. While these questioners were actuated by wrong motives, we may be forever glad 1 that they put these questions to Him because of the Invaluable truth which ] Ills answers set forth. 1. The first commandment (vv.34- , 38). "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with nil thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." This means that supreme and undivided love to God ft the first and great commandment. This at once shows that man's supreme obligation Is to God. It Is wrong to evaluate man's char- ' acter on the basis of his morality as ; expressed In his relation to his fellow man. 2. The second commandment (vv. 39-40). The second commandment la ! like unto the first in that It centers I In love. It Is not said that It Is equal unto the first; that would not be true. A man may love himself, hut not supremely. One's love for his neighbor may be either too much or too little. IThe measure set Is love for self. We should love God better than ourselves. | He Is worthy of all our affections and j demands all. I-ove is not mere emo- j tlon, hut a supreme desire for the wel- j fnre of another and a willingness to do everything possible to secure that end. The cuimnund to love our neigh- ' bor is involved in the command to love i God. To pretend to love God Is folly [ If we do not love our neighbor. No one does reall^- love his neighbor who i does not love God. To attempt to ! estnbllsh u brotherhood among men ? without the recognition of the Fatherhood of God Is utter nonsense. Men g^ become children of God by faith In Jesus Ohrtisf. It Is true that In the C< sense of being God's creatures nil men B are God's children, but In the New i Testament sense men are only God's children as they are In Christ. Beware I of the man who is constantly crying L< for the brotherhood of man and Is at ta the same time rejecting Jesus Christ. C The only renl way to bring In the brotherhood of man is to preach Jesus Christ unto the race and secure their m acceptance of Him. We thus become ar brothers In the renl sense of the term, | Bl when we have God hs our Father. All j aj obligations resting upon man are em- Pi ; braced In these two commandments. | C. !

O i O Thomas jefferson as much as Abraham Lincoln, Was nursed at the breast _ Of the unexhausted West At the time of his birth beneath ooe of Its foothills the Blue Ridge of Virginia was the American frontier. The farm on which he was born had been cleared in the wild forest by his pioneer father when the smoke of a neighbor's chimney hardly could be seen from his cabin door. * When he rode east, with his darting fiddle under his arm, to be a student at William and Mary college, the toll, slender, sandy-haired, snub-nosed, freckled-faced seventeen-year-old boy of the frontiersman never had seen n mansion, a church or a village of twenty houses, and he looked with a afro n rror'a ovoa iinnn thn Kniv\nlo1 VIiV ./a.v-.u. Jefferoon In 1776. pfide and display of the old families who formed the viceregal court at Williamsburg. To support the large family of his mother on their too small farm Jefferson turned to the law. In seven years at the bar he doubled his estate and Increased his slaves to 400. Buying the little mountain at whose feet he was born, he built upon its summit from plans of his own drawing, with bricks of his own making and with wood of his own cutting, the noblest house In all Virginia. There at Montlcello he made his home ever after. Jefferson's law practice continued rapidly to grow until It amounted to $2,500 a year, when he abandoned It forever to prosecute George III In the great and general court of mankind. He had heard the first call of the Revolntlon while a law student In Williamsburg. Its clarion had been ringing In his ears ever since he stood, an eager looker-on, In the door of the house of burgesses, ne saw Washington in his seat and he saw his own friend, Patrick Henry, a fiddling Virginian like himMelf, holding the floor amid cries of treason as he Invited the king to profit by the example of Caesar, who had his Brutus, and Charles I, who had his Cromwell. The sword, the tongue and the pen of American freedom were well met that memorable day. After the pen had waited twelve years for Its turn to speak Jefferson sat In the congress at Philadelphia. The squire of Monticello wus a silent member, as silent as the squire of Mount Vernon. Opportunity and duty went straight to those two speechless congressmen as the needle lenna tn n lnoiiotAno After serving as governor of Virginia and member of congress Jefferson was sent as minister to the court of France. "You replace Doctor Franklin," the Count Vergennes said to him on his arrival In Paris. "I succeed him," the new envoy happily replied; "no one can replace Doctor Franklin." Six weeks and a day after he had seen that old France of the Bourbons crash beneath the walls of the Rastille Jefferson left I'arls to become our first secretary of state. Taking his seat at the right of Washington h<f was face to face across the cabinet table with Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of the treasury. By nature and training the two were as opposite In their political opinions as In their chairs, and they found themselves, as Jefferson said, "pitted ! like fighting cocks." As they fought and the feathers flew a grcnt crowd collected behind each to urge on Its favorite In that cocking main over which Washington had the unhnpplness to preside.. Quickly all the people In the land took one Bide or the other and formed themselves Into the two political parties which with changing names and changing disputes have divided the country to this day.
