POWER, LOVE, Discipline

DR.. Atkins Final Address Is
Summing Up of "Gifts of
God Within Us"

gathering thntiuctutsd the
employer and the employe OF down.
town business houses, in the MONDAY
Lenten service, Friday. In the Detroit
opera house, the Rev. Gaius Glenn
Atkins gave the last In his series OF
addresses on The gifts OF God with
" u.s." summing up power, love and
discipline
when God Is no longer a name or
a mystery We shall have a clear vision
OF the meaning and the use of the
gifts He has given u.s." said DR.. At
kins. There are no commands OF
God that are not possibilities in our
lives. Never underestimate the force
, of will as We face the possibilities in
life. Duty Is a distinct appeal to the
will. The mystery OF God~is an ap-
peal to will. How helpless are love,
duty, truth, and all sacrificial courses
In life without conservation. Power
comes as We begin TO use IT, DO not
!. wait for a manifestation of power be-
fore using IT, The motorman OF a
street car knows that power lies In
his hand, but that his car will not
move until he uses that power. II Is
sc with us. The use of power brings
power. Do not hesitate to use the
gift OF power that God has given you.
n venture to say that there Is enough
power in the men and women in this
auditorium today, enough potential
personalities to set the city afire and
the churches afiame were its presence
allowed TO manifest itself.
Love comes when life touches life,
when we put ourselves alongside
those unloved and who need loving.
No son or daughter Of God Is uniov-
able. Seek out with the gift OF love
that is within you those who need
love and love them in the God-iiho
sense of the world. Give to them,
cheer, comfort. help, gladness and
light.
when we arrive at the point where
our clearness of vision permits US TO
see the breaking of dawn above the
gray and dismal night, even II 1t he
only a mere streak of light and not
rosy glory, we have arrived at the use
OF the power of discipline.
Our lives shall be kindled as We
kndle other lives. Set afiame these
gifts OF power, love and discipline, and
IL will return a thousandfold. We will
begin 10 see in a clear vision not the
CITY OI JtTuSdichi put Sh~ AS'
greater city OF Detroit.
AS an illustration of the appeal OF
God to the human will, DIR. Atkins
spoke OF the scene in the play the
Piper" in which the stone image OF
the lonely man finally conquers the
Pliers will and causes him to return
the lost children TO Hamelin, and 10
acknowledge the power and the love
and the discipline of God.
In closing the service. which also
marked DR.. Atkins farewell to De
troit for the present, the speaker OIL
fered a prayer for the welfare OF the
city and its people, within whose
Gates he dwelt for several years as
pastor OF the First Conversational
church. which was characterized by

auditorium as IAN epic"

Of inspectors OF the institution. in
their annual meeting, Thursday at
ternoon, and IL was unanimously APP
proved. The report showed gross
earnings OF s35,S2S for the year. or
this money, $13.976.70 was paid TO
prisoners in wages on the basis OF 10
and 20 cents per day; $1,77050 was
spent for repairs, and $4,000 will be
turned over 10 the poor commission
Tor the support of the families OF
convicted men, under the ordinance.
The balance, s15,0S0.7S, Supt. Nc
Donell Is ready to turn into the city

The report also showed that 1850
pri6oners were received and 1871
discharged during the year. Fifty
nine per cent were sent up for 80
days or less and sixteen per cent for
10 days or less. There is only one
life prisoner now in the institution.
The prison is badly congested, with
total OF $40 inmates, of whom 45
are women and IL is necessary to
keep from 125 to $50 men idle be-
cause there is no room for them to
work In the shops. The inspectors
recently decided Ito terminate all con-
tracts for the reception of prisoners
from counties outside of Detroit, and
this will tend to relieve the conges-
ton. The board took this course
rather than enlarge the cell blocks
and the workshops.
The $4,000 turned into the treas
'ury this year brings the total amount
OF money that has been thus con-
tributed up to about $l00O,000 for

GETTING OVER BOIL WEEvlL
Clearly Demonstrated That Presence of Pest Will Never Prevent the
 Raising of Cotton.

It has been well demonstrated that the boil weevil will never prevent the raising of cotton over any consider able area of the cotton belt. suf- f1ciently large area has already been invaded by the weevils and afford ex- perience and observation under a wide range of varying conditions, says Progressive Farmer It is not likely that results will be materially different in the area yet to be invad- ed by the weevils than they have been in some parts of the territory already infested.
 It seems quite safe, therefor, to conclude that for several years after the weevils came into any section cotton growing will be much lessened and that the average man will fail to make cotton on--a living basis Of course, some will continue to make cotton profitable, but they are so ex- ceptional that they do not change general conditions. But after a few years the acreage cultivated in cotton will begin to increase and the crop will be made at a fair profit.
 The latest exafffpIe of these results is to be found in Louisiana The area in cotton Is increasing quite rapidly and the yields per acre. as compared with the first two or three years after the coming of the weevils, are also Increasing very markedly. This will probably be the experience of other sections more. recently or yet to be infected
 But one important fact has been developed by the boil weevil experi- ence in Louisiana, namely, that the state can produce corn and other crops proftably. Perhaps the corn crops of Louisiana have not been as profitable as they would have been had her citizens known better how to use 1t for stock feeding and had possessed better and more live stock to which to feed their corn.
 It Is doubtful If Louisiana ever be- comes again the slave to cotton that she once was, but she will in a few years again take her usual place as factor in the production of the crops of the United States.
