hr. Spratt Discusses Conditions.

Dear Readers: 1t is not super
stition to imagine our present
humiliation chastening from
the King Eternal, immortal. in
visible, for the light way in
which we have so often publicly
used the words, King Cotton. "
1t may have been in no irrever-
ence by some. But no doubt
every one fell far short of
realizing what helpless de-
pendent King Cotton" was
upon Jesus Christ. | think it
becomes us to repent of the
thought of words if not of our
hearts and to pray that God
would forgive our sin and re-
lease our Inundated King from
His puny chains and allow him
to go once more in the new and
proper Province that He, the
King of Kings. marks out for
him. 1t may be the Lord would
hear our cries and somehow.
now unknown to us, yet give us
a living price for our cotton.
Will not every Christian that
reads this raise his or her heart
IN prayer for this?
