No, l tni=k that ia not the case; !
think the great scn: O; farmers have
n2t yss consiiereG what power il
tce land lacy vould be il il ZONE way
taey could ccnbi5e their strength g:d
Sos in concert.
When N>bemiah eonos:ved thc ides
2f ra6Wl.lng she rutlsd wall Of Jeru'
salem be did DOS undertake the re.
building aone You REMAINDER hov be
said, Come and let US build up the
wall OF Jerusalem that we be no more
rspr2eca;" and the people gsVe ans
aer, saying, Let us arise up and
build" So they strengthened their
hands for their good work. Tney were
laughed at by SaEbellat, TobiSh and
others, but this laugh OF sc2rn did noc
stop the work.
Now I wish every cotton grower
would lay this paper down, get the
Book and read all abous hov the wall
was rebuils-not only cotton growers,
bus every other farmer also read
about this great undertaking, that
ycu nay get the idea that IL wSs the
WORK OF the individual man helping

the strength and the success in the
work.
O1e other case I will csll attention
to. Do you remember she ssory you

mother bird cane to the rest in tae!
wheat neid to find the lits]e birds al
excited becsuse The farmer aid his

Again, the next day she i1und the
little oles more excited. The farmer
asa been neac to the nest and said 80
bis soDs: Our ne;gabors CD net
come, but 70. morrow We will get our
relatives to Gus this wheat" Was tie.
a.! !:sJ Gus by the kin folks9 No, bus
when she little birds told the mother
vhat the farmer had been cu5 the third
time, and SAID: my ne.gabors sld re-
lasives have not come: will Gus the
wosa: myself, then the old bird
SAID: "C2ildrer, We must move; the
wheat will be cu5."
