Farmers Union.
Members Of the Farmers Union, ev-
erywhere, in the South particularly,
have just concluded one of the most
prosperous and progressive years in
the history OF the organization.
Interest in recruiting members. in
tereSt in the active problems Of the
older, is at all points vigilant and ag
greSSve. Thu organized farmer is
alive to bis own rights and the way
within my recollection.
In the south particularly, the les
son Of the year just passed should
point powerful and significant les
son for this year and the years to
come.
Cotton has sold uniformly at a prof
liable figure, mainly because there
was not too much of it. The crop
came we'll within the bounds of world
wide consumption and as result but
little was sold at loss. as has been
the case in years gone by.
We can insure the same measure Of
prosperity for the new year, we can
even increase that prosperity, if we
diversity intelligently and keep the
cotton acreage within reasonable
bounds.
1t would be wretched business pol
icy for ourselves and the south, to be
lured bv the attractive prices of the
fall and winter into planting huge
acreage for the coming season.
To trade on the prosperity Of last
season and tempt Providence with a
record breaking crop would be to
court sure and heavy loss for ourselves
and sacrifice much Of The gain record
ed recently.
l therefore urge upon you to raise
at home your food supplies, the sup
plies for your family, for your help
and for your stock.
Not one state in the south but can
adopt this policy. freeing itself Of the
hay and meat and corn domination OF
other sections and avoiding the lay
ing Of mortgage on cotton to pay
other people for products we should
raise for ourselves.
We have before Us the lesson OF
hard years and tremendous crops, and
prO6ted by them. We have now be-
fore us the record OF prosperous
year. Let us also see il we cannot
profit by its teachings.
/ look for 1910 to be the most WON
derful year in the history Of southern
farming. That prophecy will be full
filed il the organized farmers OF the
south practice diversification religi-
ously. at the same time avoiPing as
they would the plague and death it.

heavily in cotton.

God lf:veS uS-that is the fact about
about God. Not that we loved Him,
but that He loved us. Just as little
child gets accustomed to a kind face
looking down into his, and becomes
familiar with pair OF tender hands,
and learns With its opening intelli-
gence that those eyes and hands are
mama. s., God, like that mother,
,oveS us before We love him. He
loved US first. We learn to love
Him.
When God would let the world
know OF His amazing love He sent a
Man. Christ Jesus, into the world to
exempliiy and illustrate it. So He
sends yOC and me.ihiS sons, to illus
trade his love for mec by doing good
TO men.
Let me ask you a fair question.
Did you ever IN your life do real
kind, generous. unselfsh act without
feeling better for it: Did there not
come Il strange peace? Just SO The
quickest way TO learn Gods love is to
set busy doing something for some
body else.
We Christians spend too much time
arguing anout doctrine, and split
apart into various churches on ac-
count Of it. We have ali eternity to
argue out those things. Let us get
busy doing something for others now.
He who will do the works shall
know the doctrine. " That is prom.
iSe, let S seize it and try it and see if
it is So.
If man say he loves God and does
not love his fell wv man he is liar.
st. John says that, for If be loves
not his brother whom he has seen how
can he love God whom he has not
seen.
