In Dallas County, TeXas, five ware
houses are to be erected this summer,
and one of them is to be the biggest
one yet projected in the Southwest.
There is no tine like the present
for saying a good word for your local
Union. The day has not yet come
when men need not to be shown the
way of righteousness and light.
Don't waste time raising any cotton
this year that is worth less than
eleven cents. Raise good cotton, and
get a good price for it.
Don't get in such hurry to tear
down the Old conditions that you win
have them destroyed before you have
the new in disable shape. If you will
build diligently the new, build deep
and strong, you will find that the old
will remove themselves. No, there is
no use for a destroyer; build wise and
well and the destruction will attend
to itself.

Il is right to make vows unto
God and there must be the sin.
certify and faithfuIness which
pays the VOWS made.
The Psalmist over and over
J auain uses the phrase, ~ will
I nav my VOW unto the Lord"
There is something in the re.
lioious nature of Imam which
leads him to make vows to his
God.
But impulse alone must not
govern in the making of these
VOWS.
Jephthah must be commended
: for his recognition of the fact
) that the success of his campaign
depended upon the favor and
help Of God.
To Jephthah must be conced-
J ed a sincere spirit Of devotion
and worship.
But these virtues could not
! save him from the terrible mis-.
takes which come from ig.
norance and superstition.
Jephthah made the awful
) bIunder of supposing that the
favor of God could be bought.
And he made the other and
: more common mistake of bring.
ing God down to the level of hu.
man conceptions.
In the rash vow of Jephthah
may be traced the influence of
the heather practices about him.
Human sacrifice was made to
the heather gods. Would he do
less in seeking the favor of the
God he Worshiped?
How little he understood
God. How imperfect was his
) conception of what God required

Perfect worship and perfect
service can only come from per.

And we must not forget that

to fulfill.
Jephthah under the thrill and
the enthusiasm of that forward
movement against the enemy
pledged to God that which was

which would not honor God in
the giving.
Too often is the pledge made
