The Community is Challenged.

With conversation and spiritual leth-
argy moving upon US as deadly paral
ysis, we need to cry nightly to God using
the words Of the Psalmist, "Wilt Thou
not revive US again, that thy people may
rejoice in Thee" Men have made void
Gods law in our midst, and it is time
for Him to work He works through His
children, but they must be perfectly
willing that He shall work through
them. 1t is not enough, either, for US
to take passive attitude to Him and
His work We must thr01O our person
alities, under His leadership, against the
unbehef of our community. He knows
our best and will be satisfied with moth
ing short of this. Will we tie His HANDS
through our self-satisfaction and un-
belief? God forbid
4 reviUat is neV lite from God. Gods
remedy for death is life. Men are dead
in trespasses and in sins all about US.
The revival is Gods challenge to our
community He lOiH be dealt with No
person in the community can avoid max
ing some answer to his challenge. We
may resent being called upon to do any
thing decided in matter that affects
our entire being, but He does not cease
knocking at the door of the community,
at the door of every heart. What will
you say to Him? If you knew you would
not be alive tomorrow how would you
answer this challenger Is it possible
that anyone will say to the giver OF ev-
cry good and perfect gift, "Leave me
alone with my sin?"
Spiritual dearth and death are in our
midst. Will not the children of God
answer His challenge by launching out
into the deep, letting down their entire
personalities and bringing into joyous
and victorious manhood all the unsaved
in our town? The revival now on is
your challenge from God to do some
thing.
Are you spending definite time in def
mite prayerY Do you know all about
the bible that your environment de-
mands? Why do you not come with US
to the afternoon bible readings? Can
you give an answer that God will ac-
ceptY Are you a soul winner IL not,
have you not the marks Of your Lord.
The cost of our salvation, the unthink-
able love Of our Father, the awful ef.
feet Of sin in this world and more awful
in the other world, the many, many un-
saved people about US and our ability to
point them to the Lamb of God, who
takes away the sins of the world, are
some OF the parts OF this great challenge
OF God to the community of Paw Paw
Breathe upon US the Holy Spirit, o
Christ, that the community may be con-
vinced of sin, righteousness and judgment
to come.

coon TINES IN GEORGIA.
Savannah Morning News.)

The impression among bankers and
business men of this city is that this
season will be one of the most pros
porous Georgia has ever known. This
impression is based upon the crop out
look. 1t is a fact, of course; that the
peach crop was failure, but the mel
on crop was above the average. The
corn crop is practically made and it
is good one. In respect to the cot
ton crop there is unbounded enthus-
iasm. The lowest estimates that are
heard place it at 1 10000 bales and
the highest at 100000 bales. The
price of cotton now is aabout 10 cents
a pound, and there is not much prob
ability of its falling below 10 cents
1t can be said with certainty, there
fore, that if the weather remains fav-
orable until the picking season is
practically over the cotton crop will
bring into the state between 100000
600 and $12O,000,000.
With such an amount of money in
circulation it is difficult to see how
the season can be otherwise than
prosperous, not-only for farmers but
also for business men and toilers of
all kinds. With plenty of money the
farmers and their helpers will be good
patrons of the merchants. who. in
turn, will be better patrons of the diff
ferent trades. There ought to be a
great deal of building because there
will be money for improvements i'll
both town and country.
The only dark cloud on the horizon
is the apprehension the railroads have
respecting the purposes of the Rail-
road Commission. So great is this ap-
prehension that they are not spend
ing any more money on their proper
ties than they can possibly help. An
understanding ought to be reached as
quickly as possible between the rail-
roads and the commission, so that the
iotlil Oduo WOulu KNOW where Jney
stand
The cotton crop, although reported
to be remarkably good in Georgia,
isn't the best in all parts of the cotton
belt. There are states in which the
crop will be below the. average. Geor-
gia is not rejoicing over their mis-
fortune, but at the same time, she re-
Allies that a small output in some of
the states means a better price for
cotton. Georgia's crop last year, how
ever particularly in this section, was
much below the average. A good crop
this year will, in a measure, compen-
safe her for last years losses.

1t is predicted that the swarm of
immigrants during the next five years
will not decrease, and that during that
period not less than six million will
enter this country. In the last quarter
century it is probable that fifteen to
twenty million of immigrants have
entered the United States. They and
their children doubtless make nearly
half of the population at this time.
Only in the South can the old Amer
lean stock that dates its origin back a
century or more in this country be
found to any great extent. Here the
white people are still mainly of Eng
fish, Scotch and Irish extraction.

THE SEARCH ron HAPPINESS.

l asked a little child in the Spring
time of bliss,
To point me the road to true happi-
ness;
Shaking the dew from her soft, sun
ny curls,
And dancing away in a circle of
whirls,
Said she oh! it is just the Iittlest
way
Sometime I will tell you, don't ask me
to-day,
Just the littlest way"
l asked a young maiden, bright Mays
blushing queen,
If she had the road to happiness
seen;
1T lies just beyond, step to the
right,
! cannot quite see it, though it must
be in sight,
Just a step to the right"
I asked a young bride could she point
me the way,
While fresh on her bosom the orange
flowers lay;
"a little in the distance the young
wife replied.
Just over the mountain, quite near
the other side
Just there" she replied
asked a young mother, while fondly
she pressed
Her first bright-eyed darling babe to
her breast;
q cannot quite guide you, tbs a diff
cult way;
had glimpse through the sunshine
today
Such difficult way"
/ asked young student whose laurels
were green,
If he had the road to happiness seen;
mot yet" he replied, "but tomorrow
I may
Come then, am sure l can point you
the way
'Tis not far away"
asked the rich miser, who counted
his gold
By millions on millions, and yet never
told;
"Ah no. he replied, but l have been
told
1t lies just beyond the next bag OF
gold
Very near, l am told
| asked lone pilgrim, whose white
frosty hair
Bespoke him more wisdom than the
young and the fair;
Seek not for it here, my child" he
replied,
Experience alone the way will decide
You may find what you seek on the
other side
Not here" he replied.

While we all hope that cotton will
bring fifteen cents a pound, and more
if it can be had, yet it must be appa-

will not accomplish that result. 1t is

ditions will arise and how they will
affect the situation as to prices To
sell or to hold makes a perplexing

REV. DR.. BAKER
AND WIFE HURT
Both Severely Injured in Run
away Accident at Kailua
Last Sunday.

Rev. DIR. Baker and his wife were the
victims of a runaway accident at Kali
lua on Sunday last with most distress
ing results to them. A span of horses
attached to their carriage, in which
they were seated together with Rev. j.
l.. Hopwood and Theodore Richards OF
Honolulu, ran away from the church
door after the morning service. Messrs.
Hopwood and Richards. occupying the
rear seat, jumped to the ground and
though badly shaken up were able TO
return to the church, later. and con-
duct Sunday school and evening SER
vice.
I. DR.. Baker and his wife were thrown
violently out. The former received a
severe confusion near one of his eyes
and a cut I'm the mouth which required
three stitches. He was unconscious
when picked up and remained so until
nine o'clock at night.
Mrs. Baker Jared only less hardly
than her husband. one arm was brok-
en- above the elbow and. until the
steamer Mauna Loa sailed. II was un-
certain that her shoulder was not dis
located. 1t was intended 10 place her
under the influence Of ether 10 have
this doubt resolved.
Although very badly hurt. Dr. Baker
was expected to be out again In week
or ten days.
Dr. r. s. Goodhue attended the SUI
ferers from the time OF the accident.
The runaway horses were not stop
ped until they had gone many miles
out of Kailua.
A passenger by the Mauna Loa
brought a rather sensational account
of the mishap, having IL that DIR. Bak-
er had permanently lost the sight OF
one eye. Inquiry at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Richards last night. however
elected the fact that IL was not so
bad as that.
