HE greatest discovery which man
L ever makes is the discovery Of him
Self; that is the discovery of his true
condition and need before God. Man
never does this of and within himself.
1t takes the Word Of God to reveal it to
him. David never knew what manner
Of man he was until he had looked into
the mirror OF Gods Word and there he
saw reflected and revealed his true like
ness. And as he realized what he had
thought he was and then what God had
revealed him to be he exclaimed: Who
can understand his errors?" And the
answer throughout the ages has been:
No mani No man can know himself ex-
cept as God reveals that self to him
through His Word. And with the rev.
citation comes the consciousness Of hope
less and helpless state OF sin, and the
prayer: Cleanse thou me from secret
faults. David as he uttered this prayer
saw the blood Of the saeri6cial lamb as
it pointed to the coming Of the Perfect
One who was to become the Lamb of
God to take away the sin of the world.
And to you and to me comes the reyela-

MEXICAN COTTON PlCkERs.
They Are Being Employed in Missis

Memphis, Tenn. oct. 1.-Two car
loads of MeXicans have passed through
here to Ruleville. Miss, where they are
employed by large planters picking
cotton. Others are expected. Those
who have tried Mexican labor claim
that it is more reliable and cheaper
than Negro labor. The "GreaSer'' is of
simple habits, docile, not afflicted with
race equality notions, industrious, fru-
gal and it is believed he will help
solve the labor problem of the South.
A short time ago it was though,
there was sufficient labor for gather
ing the cotton crop. The weather has
recently been extremely hot, with the
result that cotton has almost all
opened at one time. 1t has therefore
become necessary for planters to make
strenuous efforts to increase their labor
so as to gather their cotton before the
rainy season sets in and does serious,
injury to the stable. The gathering
season will therefore be very much
shorter than usual. In a number Of
places practically all the cotton is
open and one picking will take abou,
all there is.
