SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
FOR APRIL rs.
PETER AND CORNELIUS"
Tenth Chapter of Acts.
(By Rev. A. +. Stahl.)


This lesson taken from the Book
o? Acts again impresses us with the
fact that that book is a record of con-
versions. OF all those recorded, this
account of the conversion of Corne-
Illus is the lengthiest. The entire tenth
chapter is used in giving the circum-
stances and the facts of the conversion
and then these are reviewed by Peter
before the Jewish Council as record
ed in the eleventh chapter. One other
lengthy record of a conversion is that
of Saul of Tarsus. The conversion of
Paul was important because of what
he was to do as the Apostle to the
Gentiles and the conversion of Corne-
Illus is important because of it being a
proof to the Jewish Christians and to
the Gentle world, that the Gentle was
to be admitted into the church upon
the same terms as were the Jews. Up
to this time the gospel had been
preached to the Jews only. The Apos-
ties had not come to see the full
meaning of the commission which told
them to preach to every creature in
the whole world IL may have been
that the eunuch whom Philip preached
to and whom he baptized was a Gen
tile who had accepted the Jewish re-
ligion. The Samaritans whom Philip
baptized Just before this were not full
blooded Jews, but they claimed some
relationship and therefore their ac-
ceptance would not meet with so much
opposition as the baptizing of Cen
tile. The record of Cornelius CONVEX
sion is therefore very important to all
those not of Jewish blood.
In this record we, will find that
Peter needed to be prepared for this
new task of preaching to this Gentle
and he and the six other Jews who
were with him, needed to have proof
that God had accepted the Gentle
as well as the Jew. Peter was taught
his lesson through the vision of the
sheet let down from heaven. The six
Jews were convinced when they saw
that the Holy Spirit was given to these
Gentiles as it had been given to the
Jews on the Day of Pentecost The
element in this CONVEX
sion was more for the benefit Of 9TH
ers who were already converted to the
gospel of Christ than it was for Cor
nelius who. through their preaching
was to be brought to a belief in
Jesus the Christ
II used to be thought that there
,ould be no true case of conversion
Without the miraculous or mysterious
element. But in this day when the
records of the Acts of the Apostles are
better understood, the miraculous ele-
nent is no longer stressed.

County Demonstration Lott
Urges Farmers to Sow Peas.

Editor Advertiser Please urge
the farmers of the county the i'm.
portance of sowing COW peas. We
called their attention last spring to
the importance of improving their
soil by sowing and planting le-
gumes. In some communities farm
ers have caught the spirit and are
sowing all wheat and oat stubble
and cornfelds in COW peas and
planting soy and velvet beans.
These farmers will cover all as
nearly as possible their lands in
clover, crimson or burr, vetch, rye
or oats this fall.
Whenever our farmers get the
idea into their beads that soil like
animals need food and the right
kind at that, there will be better
conditions among them.
A crop of peas or beans cut in
with the right kind of of disk har-
row at the stage they should be cut
for hay, they add fifteen dollars
worth of fertilizer per acre to their
soil. If cut for hay about five dol
lars per acre is added; if allowed
to stand and dry up on the stalk
about five dollars per acre. You see
it does not paw to let your peas dry
up on the stalks. Better cut them for
hay.
While cutting peas under with
harrow you have the best time ever
to put on your winter I'VE crops.
A winter ,egume if possible, rye or
some other grain if you car t get
burr or crimson clover or vetch.
Now is the time to look out for
your burr clover seed, don't wait
until sowing time. l hope every
progressive farmer in the county
will SOW one or more acres of GRIM
son clover provided You get the in
oculation. Grim. on 81 'ver dirt is
better than the culture however. il
you can't get the dirt get your seed
and send me your name, post office
acreage to be sown. l will order the
culture for you without cost to you.
We have been informed that
there are a lot Of agents going
through the county selling fruit
trees. If rny one wants trees drop
me a postal card and / will send
you price list. l am not selling trees
but | can save you money and give
as good trees as are grown IN the
country and grown in your own
state and by your own people.
These nursery men know their
business and are responsible. You
can get frst-class budded pecans at
SOC each, peach trees at &c any va.

Eliminating Useless Noises.


A bill has been introduced in the
Georgia legislature making it a mis-
demeanor to operate an automobile
without a muf1er. The object of the
is to eliminate all useless
noise in running a al The very loud
and extremely grating noise that cars
are sometimes allowed to make when
starting is very e~Xasperating and
should not be allowed. Personally, we
know nothing about running a car, but
experienced operators say the making OF
this noise is not necessary. Then let's
not have it.
The Advertiser is not opposed to
automobiles. On the contrary, we like
to see the numbers mount higher and
higher, especially when the purchasers
are able to own them. Automobiles
are great public road builders; they
improve rural conditions by enabling
those who reside in the country to
avail themselves of the advantages OF
town and city life, and they frequently
provide harmless and wholesome diver
sion for persons in town who own
them. Automobiles are all right, but
let's make them "all Fighter" by eliml-
mating all useless and Objectionable

Relief From Pain
Brings Happiness
is NOW
HAPPY MAN.
Recommends Tanlac.

1t has been said that health and
happiness 90 hnnd in hand. After
much suffering, when relief is ex-
perienced, there is no wonder that
one experiences happiness and JOY.
1t is the wonderful story told by j.
C. Cain, one of the sturdy farmers
of Westminster, near the dividing
lines of the States of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, that we are given
a beautiful example of this return Of
10y when health is again made bet
ter.
Mr.. Cain wrote recently to the
State Agent for Tanlac at Colum'
bia a voluntary testimonial Of Tan
lac. His experiences are best told
in the following letter, which he
wrote:
81 feel under obligations to send
you a correct testimonial for Tanlac.
Il have been sick for the past
five years. l stayed bilious and
sick at my stomach all the time.
Nothing I ate agreed with me and
nothing l took did me any good.
The doctors here announced that l
had gall stones and gravel stones.
My kidneys gave me severe pain all
the time.
Before l began to take Tanlac it
was a drag for me to get out every
morning to feed my stock. Now l
can get up and call my wife to get
breakfast, and by the time l get
into the yard / catch myself a.
whistling and a-singing the sweet
songs l used to sing. My mules
recognize my voice and begin to
bray and to knicker, knowing that
l am coming to give their food.
Before l began taking Tanlac
my wife would ask me if I wanted
to go with her 60 preaching on Sun
day morning. / would tell her,
NO" l didn't feel like going.
Now I get up every Sundc" morn
ing and ask my wife if she wants
to go with me to preaching.
Before | began to take Tanlac
it was a drag for ME to go to the
field, and sometimes / had to tell
the boys and show the other hands
what to do. Now l can get up
every morning and eat a hearty
breakfast and drink my coffee, too,
and it doesn't hurt me, and | can
go to the field and do as much
work as any hand l have got"
1t is just such statements from
citizens of various walks of life
like Mr.. Cain, who hold the highest
esteem of the community in which
they live, that have prompted 9TH
ers to buy the great preparation,
and, therefore the makers of Tan

lac are indebted to these persons for

Labor Scarce in West.

Farmers in grain belt OF the West,
especially in the wheat States, are
suffering from a dearth Of farm labor.
In that SEXTON 80 per cent. or more OF
the laborers are white men, and the
call to arms, together with the cessa-
ton of immigration, due to the war,
has caused an unprecedented shortage
of farm labor. Another u is the
rush orders that have been booked by
steel and other foundries, making nee
essary the working of more than the
regular force. This increased demand
in the cities has caused an influx from
the rural districts.
In many instances college students
seek employment in the wheat fields of
Kansas and those of other States du-
ring their summer vacation. Farmers
are now offering So and $3.50 per day
IN the West and are unable to harvest
their wheat as rapidly as it ripens,
even by offering such high wages.
While cotton is regarded by many as
a very unsatisfactory crop, yet it has
advantages over some of the other
staple crops of the country. When
pickers can not be had as soon as cot
ton opens it can remain in the burrs
for weeks and weeks, if the weather is
not TOO unfavorable. without any con-
siderable damage, but such is not the
case with the cereals. The damage 70
western crops from remaining in the
field exposed to the weather is very
great. Wheat and oats soon fall to
the ground after maturing, rendering
the harvest practically impossible, to
say nothing of the resulting damage
to the grain itself.
