WRONG TO SHRINK FROM PAIN
Eminent English Divine Points Out
How Its Action Is for the Benefit
of All. Mankind.

An address dwelling upon the value
and benefits Of pain was delivered by
Doctor Inge, dean Of St. Paul's, at the
annual meeting Of the Southwark
branch Of the Charity Organization so
ciety, says the London Globe.
"A revolt against pain" he said, us
one of the most prominent features in
our life at the present time. We dis
like the very thought of pain as our
ancestors did not dislike it, and we
shrink from inficting it even with good
reason. The recollection Of pain suf-
fered is a safeguard; and in other ways
pain is the best effectual means that
could be devised to protect US against
various dangers.
1T is quite clear that God does not
consider death to be an evil or an in
Justice, and it is equally clear that he
intended his creatures to suffer pain.
Pain Is a condition that Is most pre-
cious in this world. Would mother
hood be what it is without pain and

A FORAGE CROP DAY
w. w. LONG SUGGESTS CLOVER
AND VETcH CAMPAIGN IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
VETCH SEED ARE CHEAPER,
Farm Demonstration Work Director
Has Found New Supply at
Low Prices.

Columbia.-A plan Is on foot to
have a clover and vetch day among
the farmers of this state. On this
day, which has not yet been named, 1t
is urged that all farmers meet and
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY Of planting
clover and vetch, and set aside two
weeks to seeding these important
crops.
Last year." said w. w. Long, head
Of the farm demonstration work In
South Carolina, recently, without
any definite and concerted action,
farmers in this state planted about
100000 acres OF clover and vetch.
The idea of having a clover and vetch
day this year was suggested by the
wonderful success of last year, and I
believe that we can see 100000 acres
this year, al the interest already man
ifested has been very great.
1.-THE farmers will be asked to meet
at the county court houses on the day
appointed and discuss the ways and
means Of seeding the largest clover
and vetch crop in the history OF the
state. At this meeting, the farmers
will be requested to set aside two
weeks for the purpose of devottng
their entire time and attention to
seeding these important crops. With
the aid Of all he forces in the state
education, demonstration work, health
officials, country preachers and the
press, 1 feel certain that a remarkable
record will be set.
II have made arrangements" Mr..
Long continued, where vetch seed
can be obtained now at 8 cents a
pound. The seed comes from Ger
many, and farmers are requested to
communicate with me. I have also
secured a form Of lime that can be
purchased at 60 cents q ton. This lime
has been recommended by DR.. Cyril
Hopkins Of Illinois"

This present phase of popular credul-

not for the tendency of an exaggera-
ton of the fancied dangers Of the evil

composition it is now in the form Of
autunite, or uranium mica, SO called
because it is composed of thin fakes
like ordinary mica, but has a greenisb
yellow tone that is unmistakable to
the expert in such things. Radium is
extracted from autunite in a very
small way In Portugal.
The only important sources Of ra-
dunn known at present are the pitch
blende mines in Austria and the car
hottie deposits in Colorado. Formerly
that carnotite ore was sent to Europe,
to be used for making dyes from the
uranium. Then it vas found that the
European purchasers were getting
radium as we'll as dyes and there was
a great rush to get the radium mines.
A large part Of the deposits have been
reserved for the uses of medicine and
science through the efforts of Doctor
Kelly working ip conjunction with the
United States bureau Of mines.

Tnhaccn Is NOT Hurt.

Florence.-The latest reports from
the tobacco farms is to the effect that
the plant beds were lot hurt so bad
ly as the farmers thought and that
if there is a good season for tobacco
there will be a good crop in this Sec
ton. Inquiry has been made by the
tobacco warehousemen and buyers
and they have personally investigated
the situation and feel very much en-
couraged. There will be a great deal
more tobacco planted around Flor

Father, I have slnned against heaven, and
In thy sight" Luke ISIS.
The parallels Of Jesus, are narvels
of unity and condemnation, yet no nee
essary detail Is omitted. This, per-
haps his most famous, is no excep-
ton even though it does carry q dou-
BILE lesson. Who thinks Of the. older
brother when this story is mentioned?
Though designated the STORY OF the
Prodigal," we need to remind our
selves that the word 'fprodigal" never
once occurs in the story. The open
ing sentence speaks Of a father and
of two sons. It Is really the parable
Of a perfect father, the unwilling OF
the true heart Of God. Against that
background is set of a self-centered
son lacking in natural affection. Also
alongside the hayward son Is the mis-
erly, selfish None who lacked all the
good qualities Of his brother, but who
was truly a wanderer and out Of har-
mony with God the Father. In the
background we see the citizens OF
the far country who helped this young
Jew to his place Of want, famine and
degradation. Remember, It is our
Lord speaking to Jews. When the
Gentiles Of the far country sent him
to feed swine they insulted him BY
compelling him to get his living
through an occupation insdnctively
repulsive. 500

Like a Lost Sheep.

The first step was for the son to stop
and really think. That is where sal

tenance. He saw his value. He was
more important than the servants OF
his fathers home. He saw his faith
er's love, already manifested in what
had been given him and we. fain would
believe that when he left home he
had the fathers urgent plea to re-
turn. He saw a way to escape from
his present, position. All Of this after
he came to himself" Before that,

now he has reasoned, lisa. lib. With
his reasoning also came the deter

Tess his need but the fact that he had
sinned. This Is the only way for q
sinner to come to God, Ps. $3.50;

not stop with resolving but "he arose
and came to his father" v. 20. He ex-

off" and ran and fell on his neck and
kissed him." Notice the kiss OF recon-

a chance to confess. In his COMES
sion his first thought Is that he had
sinned against God and then against
his earthly father. The father had
not once forgotten him; he had COM
passion" even though the son was un-
merciful to himself and to all of his
loved ones. The father kissed him
before he was washed or otherwise
made presentable. His real need was
paramount to that evidenced by his
rags, hunger, or the ravages OF his
dissipation. When he did make. his
confession wv. 20, 21), we note no
