The sun pid Not Stand san.
From the Kansas CITY Times.


At Christ church Bishop USHER rector elect
took for mis- subject the so-caled mistake of the
Sun Standing Still" taking his text from
Joshua, K. 1914. He showed that the error in
understanding the passage grew out of the
Masorite Interference with the original Hebrew
in the year A. D. 500. when the vowel points
were introduced He gave the translat on Of
the unpointed Hebrew by DR.. Pratt a very
eminent Hebrew sc lo!ar, as follows: Then
spake Joshua to Jehovah, on the occasion of
Jehovah delivering up tue Amorit.s before the
Children OF Israel, let the sun be obscured over
Gideon, and the moon over the valley Of Aialon,
and the sun was obscured AMI tue moon also
while the people rose up against its enemies. Is
not this written In the book OF Joshua. and the
sun remained in the clouds OF heaven and
shone, not rising like an ordinary day, and
there has not been such On event as this before
or after 1t, as to the hearkening OF Jehovah
unto the voice of man, for Jehovah fought for
ISreal"
The translation does away with all the built
up diffic ultes rega ding the arrest Of planetary
motion.
The preacher while stating distinctly that he
in no sense limited divine thought or power for
a moment. that anythiug in the created uni
verse was out,id- of the limit Of the fullest u.
vine control, shovel by scientific facts that the
condition of the slD, seeming to stand III,
coud be produced by Fefraction, and by his
very clear way Of putting facts left no ground
for the skeptlc TO stand upon.

The Farmers Alliance and Education

The Farmers Alliance and Education.
Nearly all of the branches of the Farm
ers' Alliance in Georgia have apparently
| lost sight Of the fact tnat one of the chief
purposes Of the alliance. according to it's
constitution, IS to foster education. Tho
Putnam county branch has not, however.
1t has started movement TO arouse greater
interest in education in the county, and
committees have been appointed for all of
the militia districts, to work among the
people with a view to establishing schools
IN districts, If any, where there are none,
to improve the schools already established,
| and to quicken interest among both parents
and children in school n alters.
T4is is a proper move, and the prooa-
bility is that the farmers can do more to
push it to success than any other class OF
people, because in nearly every county of
the state, and certainly in Putnam county,
they constitute the greater part of the popu-
lation. They will no doubt obtain the aid
Of nearly every other class, and it is to be
hoped that an enthusiasm in favor Of edu-
cation will be awakened that will result in
better school advantages and better school
attendance than has been the case for years.
There is much more lliterscy among the
white people of Georgia than the people
generally are aware of. and much of it is
among the farmers and their antilles, the
farmers being the most numerous class, aud
their children having inferior school facili-
ties, besides bsing compelled to be at work
frequently when they ought to be at school.
A movement in the interest of education,
therefore, is one in the interest OF the farm
ers' children especially.
The example whIch the Putnam alliauc
has set should be followed by all of the
other branch alliances Of the state. In that
way great deal Of good might be accom-
DliEhad

New Brunswick, N. j., has not as many
children by between 1900 and 1000 in at
tendance upon her schools as she thought
she had. 1t appears that during the time
the last census taker for that city was il
Office he reported more school children
than the facts warranted, and he did it to
put money in his pocket. The tax for the
support of the schools is levied on the basis
Of attendance, and. besides, S. for each
pupil is received from the state. This
census taker illegally placed about 1000
names Of alleged school children on the list,
and he pocketed the money that would have
gone to the edueatiol of tdat number of
pupils. The crook sdness was not discov-
cred until his successor went into Office.
