pursued it faithfully, assiduously,
and has kept his meat house and
corn crib at home, he has needed no
protection, unless he needed a law
to make him richer. | know num-
bers OF farmers in Harris and Tai,
bot counties where have lived the
last twenty years, who would not
borrow cent of Government mons
ey at2 per cent, if the sub. treasury
bill were to pass. They DON'T want
borrow money at any price, and
what they have, they have dug out
of Georgia soil by honest toll and
frugal industry. And this, too, in
spite Of the fact that the whole gov
eminent and the balance Of man
kind are against the agricultural
interests Of our land, il you are to
take for the truth what is said by
the men who aspire to be the lead
ers of our people.
4. There are many men who will
get rich in sense, on $500 sal
airy, where there are thousands who
will come out at the end of each
year ia debt on the same amount of
money. There are men who can
make farm blossom as a rose. on
which thousands of otlers would
fail to make living.
5. There is no hope for the lazy,
trifing man. The best Farmers
Alliance that human ingenuity can
start, will not benefit the indolent,
improvident man, unless it will en-
gage to support him in toto. He
cannot be kept from poverty-he
cannot be protected. 4.
6. Tn. money making and saving
talent is rare gilt. Only a few
men have it. 1t is God given and
brings fearful responsibility.
Z. Human failures in the race for
worldly success are as common as
flies in summer. Two things make
the cause in great majority OF cases.
Want of industry-lack OF knowl-
edge as to how to manage. The
key-notes to every successful life in
worldly sense are industry, tru-
gality. Where these abound in our
Gland Of the free and home of the
brave" worldly success is sure.
8. We get these more fully in the
lite of goodness. After all, Chris
tian's lite is obliged to be success
full life, if the Bible is true. Good
illness is profitable unto all things;
having promise of the life that now
is and that which is to come" The
life of the Christian means: l. A
life. of contentment. 2. Temperance.
3. Industry. 4. Economy.
And these all bring success for
this world. A noted anarchist of
Chicago said: eff we could take
Christ out of the WORLD our cause
could succeed. The follower of
Christ Ia prosperous man."
Now then; in view of all that has
gore before and which I believe to be
true, and with my faith strong in
God alcng all these lines, to see our
people having their peace OF mind
disturbed by men who may be hon.
est in their views, but who have the
appearance, to a man who will study
Alright the signs II the times Of du-
plicates of ''sand-lot oratory," agi-
tators, alarmists, disturbers of the
peoples peace and happiness, it all
fills me with sadness and sorrow.
This is an age OF cheap talk and
much fit, an age of great greed for
gain, or Unsuitable for office, an age
of small men who are ready and will
ing to stir the preju6ices of the mass
es that they may thrive. l may be
wrong, but it seems to me that they
are doing, and going to do incalcu-
liable damage before We again settle
down to peace and quiet.
In the mea ntime, God save us
from men in the pulpit who are not
only afraid to speak GU. on these
lines, but who encourage agitation
and tumult and noise and talk to
unsettle our noble people. We
have our work to do in trying to
bring men to Christ. The business
of the church in all her work is to
