culture to cooperate with the various
state colleges In the south In organiz-

boys and girls In the rural districts
bids fair to become an important factor
in racial thrift. The movement has
grown rapidly and has been operated
successfully in Virginia. Florida. Mis-

year.
The main object Of these clubs n TO
encourage our people, particularly In
the cotton sections, to raise some food
instead Of devoting their entire atten.
ton to single crop. In the clubs for
boys the typical plan Is to encourage
and help the members to use an acre.

one-fourth to potatoes and one-fourth
to peanuts.

ranted by Scriptural authority IN believing
that there Is a life eternal beyond the grave
and that we do retain our own personality
In the future world. Perhaps 1t ought to be
sufficient comfort TO us to realize this with
out undertaking to penetrate the veil OF
mystery and seek to inquire just what will
be our life in the next world.
While many are content to 60 no further
than the revelations 80 sparnsly made in
the Bible, yet others cannot escape from the
conflicting thoughts which the subject ir
resstibly forces upon them.
The misery and suffering and injustice
and all the manifold forces for evil which
everywhere surround us on this earth have
complicated the problem Of life in the next
world. Both the Old Testament and the
New Testament distinctly and repeatedly
emphasize the forces for evil which perpetu.
ally exist. Satan and his evil powers exist
not merely on this planet but are, according
to the Bible, q tremendous and perpetual
force existing apart from and beyond our
own little world.
II, then, evil exists endlessly in the great

earth. how will 1t influence us and our
affairs and our life in the world beyond the
grave? If Satan and his wicked machina-
tions or any other powers OF evil have al
ways existed, always will exist, are these
influences limited to US while we ,tnhabt
our earthly bodies during our life on this
planet? Will we escape them In the next
word7
The Bible answers this by showing that
even in heaven the struggle between good
and evil goes on. The references to the
fallen angels who were expelled from
heaven seem to very definitely show that
the forces Of evil will still pursue US even
in heaven.
Endless complications present themselves
to the human mind when it attempts to
contemplate the future life. Love, as the
Rev Dr., Campbell truly says ia our great
compelling emotion. How will the love of
mother for her erring> son or daughter be
satisfied in the world to come If all her
