The Crawford GottGn--W nat GeOd
: Farming Can Do. 3:

Some two or. three weeks ago e
stalk Of cotton was sent to the Regis.

Crawford, on the outskirts of the city.
The stalk was gathered from an acre
planted to itself, and contained two
hundred and twenty. FIVE bolls. and
twas stated that.the acre would yield
four 45O pound sbales Of lint cotton.
To some this statement may have
seemed an exaggeration. or sn over
estimate, but that it issstrictly within
bounds can be youched for by many
persons who have visited Mr.. Grew
ford's farm and seen the cotton now
open in, the field. sa. ael
On. Wednesday afternoon we made
a personal inspection of the acre and

THIS GOD IS OUR GOD.
Rev. DIR. IslIiotts Sermon ut the Consro.
gotionoI Church.


Rev. DR.. Elliott preached at the First Con-
gregational church yesterday morning from
the fourteenth verse of tho forty eighth psalm,
For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even unto death" The
preacher gave historical review of the con-
ditiOn of affairs both temporarily and spritu-
ally in the days of JehOsaphat, king of Judea.
His brilliant and pious manner assembled q
throne whose pristine splenders has been
tarnished by the wickcdness of his prodeces.
sors. Tho worship of the living God
had boen, abandoned, the sacrifices in
the temple suspended, and in their
groves and high places had been erected
without stint all through tho land of its
chosen people, from Bcersheba oven unto Dan.
As consequence the martial virtue of the
Hebrews had given away; both Jew and lsra-
elite, who sunk in soth, sim and shame and
the sul rounding nations looked upon them as
fair prey. Jehosaphat's first care on ascend
ing the throne was to establish the worship of
his father all through the southern kingdom.
He had even invited the Israelites
to come up to Jerusalem and keep the
passover under the spiritual ministra-
ticns of the Levites. Though this
invitation had been scornfully rejected by
Ephraim as nation, yet many thousand in
dividual lsraelites accepted itand repaired to
Jerusalem. Whio engaged in the work of

kingdom the storm of war burst upon him, all
unprepared in a military point of view to re-
sist clouds of Ammonites, Moabites, aud Edo
mites from Mount Scir, gathered in one
donse mass, and rolled up their storm masses
upon his defenseless rear. Knowing his in
ability to cope with them by main force
Jehosaphat, by the advice of Jahaziel, Le-
yite ofthe sons Of Asaph ,betook himselft to God.
Fortified with the Divine promise the Jews
hastened in unarmed and irregular array to
the wilderness of Tckos, where their pagan
kindred had encamped. They were just in
time to see the Edomites exterminated by the
Moabites and Ammonites who Immediately
afterwards turned against each other until
not man was left. And the Jows busted
themselves for three days in gathering the
spoil left by their dead enemies. God had
triumphed over more, and again had the
chosen people, by reliance on the Lord of
Abraham gained signal victory without
the loss of a man.
Makinga practical application of this histor-
ical passage to the spiritual wants of the day,
the preacher besought his congregation to
initiate the Jews of old. Let every one feel
as if Gods work depended on him, but take
no thought of the result, which is safe in his
hands. This God is God of our Father, and
he will be with us oven to DEATH
