Or. ]. Anthony Davidson.

He was not yet thirty-four. He
was equipped for useful living. He
was armored for Christian warfare.
A soldier Of the Cross, a follower of
the Lamb. Why lis early home
taking when the world is so much in
need of true aud brave men? The
believers answer: sit is the will of
God. Here is our comfort. II the
will Of God is being wrought out in
dark Gethsemane, it becomes a red
letter day in the calendar Of our
lives, when we can say, elf this cup
may not pass except drink it. Thy
will be done. Comfort Is peace.
SO long as there is war peace cannot
be declared. We must surrender our
wills and submit our lives to our
Fathers will and then comes a sweet
peace.
There are many reasons why we
should say this iu every grief. We
mention here only few. God our
Father loves US. Because he loves
US He will withhold no good thing
from US. He Is all wise and knows
what is best for his children. If we
know what is best for our child and
have our will with it, infinitely more
let Gods will be done with his.
Again, submission becomes the
child of God because we know not
what is best for us. Many things
we thought were good for US have
proved a curse. Our wills have
often caused us pain. We are con-
WINGED of our short-sightedness.
We know not tomorrow. God has
all wisdom and power and loves us.
Shall we not trust Him? Another
reason for submission is Gods good
ness to us. Our lives are full OF
Crittenden record=press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1907-1909, 1907-02-28

rich gifts from His loving hand.
Anthony was one of His lovely gifts
to US. For thirty-four years he
frightened and sweetened our lives
here. Nor does death have any
power over that He lives with Us
still Anthony, the kind, gentle,
true, affectionate son, brother,
friend aud associate, is not buried
beneath that mound, but enthroned
in our hearts lives on on with US
here, a blessing to call US up higher.
Then is 1t not a goodness Of God?
May not sorrow bear us a blessing?
The Psalmist says our burden is a
gift, God ; gift to US. Gods gifts
are always good. His love gave
him to US, His love took him away.
His love preserves to US his beckon-
ing call. Blessed be the name of
tie Lord.
Another reason for submission and
source of comfort is that we as be-
levers shall meet again. We sor-
row not as those who have no hope.
l. it not sweet to think hereafter,
when the spirit leaves this sphere,
love with deathless wing shall watt
her to- those she long hath mourned
for here? Hearts from which twas
death to sever, eyes this world can
ne 'er restore, there as warm, as
bright as ever shall meet Ms and be
lost no more.
When YEARLY we wander, asking
of earth and heaven, Where are they
beneath whose smiles we once lay
basking, blest and thinking bliss
would stay? Hope still lifts her

iLto the perfect law Of liberty, will
become so vile as TO be exiled from
heaven. We should do the word.
The epistle Of james Is fuh Of good
suggestions to those who work for
Christ In this passage be gives
a description of pure religion.
Pure religion and undehlet before
God our Father is this TO visit
the fatherless and the widows in
their Affections, and TO keep himself
unspotted from the world. The
correct rendering Of the 18th verse
is, but he that looketh IatO the
perfect Law, the Law of liberty, and
so eontinueth, he being not : bearer
that forgetteth, but doer that
worketh, this man shall be blessed
in his doing. These words were
written to believers, so il is assumed
that they believed Gods word. The
stress here is laid on the hearing,
reading and doing Of that word.
ITO him who knOweth TO do good
and dOeth il not, to him it II sin. %

The text of the sermon at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday was
james %, "Be ye doors Of the
word, aud not hearers only, deeeiv-
ing your own selves. The author
of this epistle was the brother eff our
Lord, and he doubtless was impress
ed with the remarks that Christ so
often made concerning the hearers
that do not hear. The parable Of
Math. 7:24, the sower, and that Of
the two kinds Of foundations for a
house are illustrations of the way
men hear the word Of God, 1928.
There are three attitudes of man
toward the word. First, he sould
hear it. Second, he should look
into it. Third, he should do it.
The word for hear in the Greek 10
an unusual word in the y. r. 1t is
common in classical Greek, however.
1t means to listen attentively.
Some people 90 to church but do
not listen 10 the word as It is preach
ed to them. Some let the cares of
this world aud the deceitfulness of
riches destroy their heart faculties,
and they become unfruitful hearers
of God word. We are to be hear
ers that will hear, for, blessed are
they who hear the word Of God, and
keep it. Blessed are your ears for
they hear and your eyes for they
see, said Christ. (See notes. We
should look into the word. James
likens the word to a mirror. What
would home be without mirror?
A man needs a mirror to see If he is
clean and tidy, so Gods word reflects
all Of our imperfections. If some
men did not look into the mirror any
more than they look into the word
Of God, they would become so filthy
and vile that they would be banished

GROWERS AROUSED
FRUIT CULTURE IN SOUTH REACHES
 CRISIS.
Decided at the Meeting at Atlanta That Cheaper Rates and Better TransDOr- tatiOn Services Must He Rem
 dered.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 21-Cheaper rates and better service from the transporta- tion lines was the slogan of the gath erlng of the Southern Fruit Growers held here today.
 President Matthews. of Fort Valley. Ga, of the Georgia Fruit Growers As- sociation, declared in his opening ad- dress that a crisis had been reached in the business and unless better dis 'ributlon transportation and refrlgita- tion facilities shall be granted, the bus mess Is doomed in the South.
 So serious has the situation become, that the Georgia growers invited the co-orporatlon of those similarly con- cerned In Florida. south Carolina, Ala bama and Tennessee who responded with large attendance.
 A resolution was adopted that if nec- essary an appeal be made to the inter state commission to secure better trans por:ation and committee of represen- tative men were named to carry the matter to the highest authorities This committee was headed by R. C. Berck- mans, of Augusta, Ga. Provision was also made for assessments on fruit growers with which fund the fight for better conditions is to be made.

Desire of Chief Executive Refused bS Upper House in Selection of Two Jefferson County
 Judges.

Notwithstanding that the Senate was told the Governor wished it. not withstanding that Senator N. L. Miller asked for the adoption of the amend mont as an act of Senatorial courtesy, the Senate of Alabama yesterday re- fused to give the appointing of the new Birmingham City Court judges to the Governor The Senate by a vote of Is to II insisted that the Legisla- ture should elect the Judges as orig lna.ly contemplated by the bill
 The incident in which the Senate first broke away from anything which was represented to 1t as comlng with the Governors endorsement, occurred late yesterday afternoon when the Senate was considering the bIll for two addi- tional judges of the City Court of Bir- mingham. The measure had already passed the House, and when 1t was called up by senator Miller he changed the provision Tn it which dec.ared that the new juoges should be elected by q joint session of the Legislature. Tho amendment as proposed by Senator Mil- Ter, provided that the judges should be appointed by the Governor.
 Senator Reid. who has been recognlz- ed as one of the Governors stalwart supporters, took the floor in opposition to the amendment The Legislature was fully competent to select the judges, he contended. The bill as drawn had provided for the election or the Judges by the Legislature and with that provision in 1t, 1t had passed the House. He was surprised that at this iuncture an amendment should be pre- sented depriving the Legislature of the right. MT. Reid argued further that the judges were to be paid out of the State Treasury, this being true, the Legislature should select them.
