The Voice of the Lord

Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth. ["
 1 Samuel 3:9
 Today's study gives little insight into family conditions in Israel at a time not long after the days of Ruth. It shows us the deep religious sentiment amongst many of the people, The Tabernacle of the Lord, in this study styled the Temple, was docated at Shiloh, few miles north of Jerusalem. The priest in charge was Eli. The people by divine direction went annually to worship the Lord at the time of the Passover.
 The father and the mother of Samuel were among these annual worshipers be- fore Samuel was born. On one of these visits Hannah made earnest prayer to the Lord for son, vowing that if her peti- tion were granted, her son should be de- voted to the Lords service for life Her prayer was answered The child was born and named Samuel. When he was wean- ed he was presented to the Lord through Eli-to be the latter's servant. The word weaned we may properly understand to signify the time when the child was able to do without his mothers care-probably 10 years old.
 It Is difficult to imagine the value to a child of being well-born-born Of healthy parents, and particularly of God-fearing parents. Few realize the dignity and re- sponsibility of the parental office Many are aware that vitality and constitution proceed from father to child The portion assigned to the mother by nature is that of nourisher of the infant But the es- pecially important part of her responsi- bility few parents realize. The mothers mentality during the period of gestation stamps itself upon her unborn child. Her fretfulness of vacillation or discontent, or her peace. her joy, her high ideals, not only affect her own happiness, but stamp almost indelibly her offspring. In view of this, how serious is the responsibility of motherhood. as we'll as fatherhood!
 Moreover, we must remember that the mothers attitude of mind is largely under the control of her husband. It Is his re- sponsibility to place before his wife, at this important period, high ideals. noble sentiments. helpful suggestions, peaceful and restful surroundings. Thus par ents cooperating intelligently might pro- duce children even nobler than them selves, as their ideals may be better than were their own birth condition; or re- versely. they may produce children in- ferior to themselves, while their condi- tfons are possibly more favorble than those of their parents

Gods Repro0f of Eli

Our lesson opens with the declaration that the child Samuel 'ministered unto the Lord before E1r; that is, he was a servant of the Lord. by virtue of his being a servant to Eli. the Lords repre- sentative and priest '"rhe word of the Lord was precious in those days; it was seldom that God sent special messages at that time. There was no open vision" vision and revelation were not then being given. The divine plan was hid den. The Urim and Thummim answers of the Lord to the inquiries of the people had ceased.
 It 1t supposed that Eli at this time was about 70 years of age-some think nearer 80. His vision was dim He was sleep ing in one apartment, and little Samuel in another. Samuel heard a voice calling him and three times went to Eli. only to be told that he had not been called. But by the third time Eli realized that God had called Samuel; and he instructed the lad that, if the voice should again be

American Ship Sunk in North
Sea

Washington, Feb. 22.-The
United States government was
advised officially tonight of the
destruction of the first American
vessel on the high seas since the
outbreak of the European war.
American Consul Fee at Bremen
cabled that the steamer Evelyn
and her cargo of cotton bound
for Bremen had been blown
up" at Borkum, lust off the Ger
man coast, and that the crew
had been saved. The cause
submarine or mine-was not
given in the dispatch.
After conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Bryan
cabled Ambassador Page at Lon
don and Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin to make an exhaustive
inquiry as to the facts, and, if
the crew was landed in either of
their respective Jurisdictions, to
furnish every care and convent
ence to Capt. Smith and his
men.
Although the extent of sea
zones of war proclaimed bv
Germany was never defined
exactly,,.the Borkum islands are
considered far distant from the
danger areas Of submarines. The
waters of the vicinity are mined
for defensive purposes and Ger
many always has piloted incom-
ing ships through.
AT the German embassy to-
night it was pointed out that the
accident must have been caused
by a mine, as Germany, sorelv
in need of cotton, would not tor
pedo a vessel laden with such a
cargo for German consumption

What is A Pasture
Nashville Home

Nashville Home
A typical Union county pas
ture has been described as "a
piece of land where grass won't
grow, with a fence around it,"
That description will also tit the
average pasture in all the other
cotton" counties. And usually
the pasture has good stand Of
old field pines growing in il.
Now and then however, you'll
find farmer who has put his
best land in pastures, and stock
ed 1t with clover and pasture
grasses-land that will produce
" bale of cotton or fifty bushels
OF corn per acre. Of course ii
takes some nerve for a farmer in
the cotton belt to do that, but he
is always well rewarded for his
nerve. If we can't quite get the
consent of our minds to put
some of our best lands in pas
lures, we ought to at least put
the two-horse plow on some of
our Old pasture lands in Ecbru-
ary or March and make a seed
bed for seeding mixture of
permanent pasture grasses for
hill lands. The seed required
tor this purpose will not cost anv
more per acre than the eXpendi-
ture we have been making for
commercial fertilizers to put
under cotton. There are two
ways to get ready for profitable
live stock farming. One is to
provide better pastures, and the
other is to raise feed for stock
next winter.
We might as we'll keep ii in
mind that we can't go" into live
stock industry in the sense OF
making a bowling success and a
big income in the beginning, but
that we must grow" into the
business. and the only economic
and practical way to grow into
it is to provide for the service of
gresslve Union county farmer
the other day who was real
anxious 10 get behind our repre-
sentatives in the general assem-
bly, and have a law enacted
making it unlawful to keep for
service in this county anything
but pure bred sires. Certainly a
law OF this kind would be much
more desirable and constructive
in its effect than law TO prevent
the killing of scrub heifer calves.
With only pure-bred Sires there
would soon be no desire 10 kill

MIR. Buy Grub and His Pitful
Plight


Since this is to5apply only to
farmers-real and imitation
everybody else will please to
stand aside" And as Mr.. Buy
Grub's case is the most~uryent,
we will attend to his first.
Mr.. Buy Grub is generally a
one crop" man, but his one
crop is not always money crop,
though he plants and cultivates
II with that end in view. He is
the man who makes it necessary
for one line of the country mer-
chants letter heads to read:
pealer in Staple and Fancy
Groceries" He is the man who
doesn't know where his next
meal is coming from, nor where
his last one came from, for that
matter. But if he has the cash
or credit to buy a few meals
ahead we would find that they
came from about everywhere in
the U. S. "A. His flour very like.
ly comes from Minnesota, his
corn from Illinois, his potatoes
from maine, his beans from
Michigan, his dried fruit from
California, his canned goods
from Maryland and his meat
from any one of a dozen differ
ent places. For every single
one of these articles of food Mr..
Buy Grub is paying at least
twice what it would cost him to
raise them on his own farm. If
| were asked the old question:
who pays the freight" It'd point
my finger straight at MIR. Buy
Grub.
This same Mr.. Buy Grub is
the man who is guilty of keeping
ihe South away down toward
the bottom financially for all
these years, and this too in spite
the assertion of the first ex-
nrs who declared our coun.

ter shone upon" in spite of the
fact that we arebIesScd above all
others in climate, long growing
seasons, rainfall and other matt
raj advantages.
MIR. Buy Grub can't afford to
lool with such q little thing as a
garden, or if he plants one the
weeds and grasshopperS soon
have full possession of it. OF
course he doesn't read the fam
papers. They have too much
to say about diversified farming
and he doesn't believe in such
stuff. Why, the kind Of farming
the papers advocate would keep
him busy about y months in
the year, and Mr.. Grub likes TO
loaf on the jon abou! one third
of the time.
Now let's have q look nj Mr..
Llve-at-hOmc. He lives better
than any king on earth. In fact
all the kings jobs of the Eastern
Hemisphere could 90 hang for
all OF him. He and his family
are contented and prosperous,
and neither high cost of living"
nor the upward trend of prices"
is worrying him a mite.
OF course this condition did
not come about by Mr.. Live at
Home sitting down and dream
ing, nor did he bring it about by
waving the magician'S wand.
He knows that lust about every
thing comes to him who waits,
if he huSt!cS while he waits, so
he gets up early in the morning
and huStIcS and he keeps this up
pretty regularly II months in
the year. He grows his own
hog and apple pie and has very
little business to transact at The
grocery store, except to sell his
surplus products.
Mr.. Live .at-IIomc has learned
the value Of a good garden anC
orchard ani acts accordingly
He has something either frcsl
or canned on his table 365 davs
in the year, and il is moi tn,
