FLOOD WATER.

New Iberia, La April %, 1872
Mr.. Editor:
Letters have hecn received by
local firms from correspondents
in Nebraska and Illinois stating
that reports are current there,
that this section of the state is re-.
ported to them as being inun-
dated.
These reports as yon well know
are absolutely nnfoHrtied, ami in
justice to the people Of the Par
ish some statement should be
made centradicting these rumo,s.
To the writer's knowledge, and
which ] believe yon know to be a
fact, the only section Of the Par
ish that, or ever will be threaten
ed by waters of the MISSISSIPPI i
are the swamps lying along the
shores ofsIrand Lake.
The present awakening of the
people of the Parish TO the true
realization OF the immense value
Of their lands and their evident
desire as expressed in taxes voted
for improvements such a Rail
Roads, Drainage Canals, and
Trolley Lines should not be lDjur
ed or the pregressiveness of the
community and the Parish put AT
naught by iumors set adrlft 10y
INSCRIPTIONS persons.
For the benefit of the outside
public | think that 1t is your duty
to publicly state the tue facts
concerning Iberia Parish's lmmu
nifty from floods, ! am.
Yours al

SCHOOL LEAGUE
Report of the Secretary and Treas
urer end the Work of the Year.

The School improvement League
closes its books of this years work
and are pleased to let the interested
people know what they have meant
to the school children BY their earn
est application to earn money and
use it for the most good.
The handsome biology laboratory
and fitting case will remain q prom
inent memorial of the League for
1912. This was an abject necessity
for the high school work. BY its
addition our graduates will be able
to do the note book work of these
studies, thereby gaining a certificate
recogni ed by all colleges. Our
work for 1918, we hope, will be to
give our school laboratory for
chemistry work.
We have done good deal toward
spreading League work throughout
the parish. We have interested all
the near by towns and assisted some
to organize. There are z Leagues
in st. Tammany parish
The small calls on our funds are
many, as will be noted by the treas
urer's account.
We have earned our fund in the
usual way of giving shows and en-
tertainments, monthly dues, a gen.
erous response from our merchant
friends to whom we extend our
hearty thanks
We hope for an opportunity of
soon working for the embelishment
of the .school grounds. When the
new school building stands proudly
in the center Of the ground, as no
doubt it should, the League wants
to make thing beautiful out of
the square that has had no chance
70 look good.
Is You see we have great hopes
for the future and while we are
fast growing in strength we need
new members and want many to
answer the roll call in September.
Gratefully,
SCHOOL IM?R'MENT LEAGUE.

THE MANsE.

Dear Sir:-To put it in q nut
shell, may say Of your questions
on the Sunday School Lessons that
no one can face them fairly and seek
to answer them without enriching
his own life. and this because of q
deeper knowledge of the scriptures.
Such being the case, any editor if
serving well his constituency who
publishes your questions.
Yours sincerely,

ANSWER TO QUESTION FRAN 4
READER OF THE SUGGES.
TIVE QUESTIONS.
II 23-20.

Lesson-Mark H., 1898.
Question 9. Verses -27-28.-Jes-
us here states in substance that the
Sabbath law must bend to mans
real welfare. Why would he, OF
not. have said the same thing about
every other law?
Answer. Every law in the Bible
is simply an Interpretation OF the
laws Of our being, or of the laws OF
nature. These laws are simply IN
interpretation of the influences
which make for the welfare of man
kind, and OF the influences which
tend to injure. Jesus states. the
Sabbath was made for man. and not
man for the Sabbath" We must,
therefore, use the laws OF God In
q may to accomplish their original
purpose: that is our good. What
ever helps us, Is law which God
commands, and whatever hurts us
is q law which he condemns. The
carrying out, of the Sabbath law. has
necessarily differed in different ages,
and under varying circumstances,
and the same remarks apply to every
other law of God. There may be
times, for example, when the blunt
telling of the truth would accom-
plish irreparable injury, and there
fore to tell all we know under such
circumstances may be sin. ana this
is in harmony with the general COM
mandment to tell the truth. For
the engineers and stokers on trans
Atlantic ship to stop work on the
Sabbath day, and cause the ship to

WHEN I'VE BEEN BAD"

When I've been bad, my mother
says,
"All right, son. Just you wait!"
And when night comes we listen
For my father at the gate.
And If it's me that hears him first
l run to let MIN in
And tell him all about it
Fore mother can begin.
And sometimes when I've finished
He looks down at me and grins,
And says that it reminds him
Of his own boyhood sins;
Then he leads me in to mother,
And he says, "Poor little lad,
l really don't think, sweetheart,
That he's been SO very bad"
But last night, by the window,
While I watched the shadows
creep,
My eyes got very heavy,
And I, somehow, fell asleep.
I could have told him easy
Just why l screamed and kicked;
But mother was ahead of me
And that time I got licked.
