vitality before sowing as the seed is
quite frequently injured by heating IN

vitality and does not test 80 per cent

The natural products of the Arabi.

which bear the name of mamma have
not the qualities of the mamma of the
Bible which the Israelites fed upon for
40 years until they got the new corn
of the land Of Canaan. The mama Of
the Scriptures may be regarded as
wholly miraculous and not in any re-
spect a product of nature.

Many farmers will not be able to
nut in their whole acreage on account
of the lack of horses or other power.
Every tractor in this county should
work night and day as long as there
remains an acre unplowed. There is
still time to put in barley, and corn
and potatoes, all three Of which are
worth almost their weight in gold. We
appeal to every tractor owner to offer

Bible Institute

For some days the peopl9 Of
Tupelo have enjoyed a rare pl9as-
ure in the presence of Mrs. Mar
garet 7. Russell, of the Needy
Bible Institute of Chicago. She
came bv request Of the various
organizations Of Womensof the
place, recommended by Mrs. A.
I. Pearson, herself a prominent
chfistiah worker. In our selec-
tion-we-feef-that we made-no
mistaksaaaanszthez
most sanguine hopes are more
than realized. Mrs. Russell bears
the distinction of being snsof
the Very few women to whom
was committed a. wide touro
Bible teaching infnediately 0pon
finishing Der course lathe Mstis
tpte. Her territofyha already
included the far west, the far
east and many Intermediate
cities. She has the honor of be-.
ing one of the three women COM
posing the Extension Faculty of
thirteen (three women and ten
mem working under the aus
pices Of the Moody Bible Insti-
tpte. BF.Ag ]
Mrs. Russell's grasp Of her
subject Is comprehensive, firm,
and we may say. mastery; her
presentation so clear, so %convinc-
ing as to hold the attention of
her ever increasing audience. or
as she puts it, class" The
presence of many bibles and the
use of pencil and note book at
test the interest of her hearers.
Her presentation Of the Gospel
Of John at the afternoon and the
Book of Genesis at the evening
hour seems a little short of mar
velous to the casual bible reader.
Her way of harmonizing or CORE
latinp the Old and the New Tes-
taments satisfies the longing of
many minds heretofore at sea
upon these subjects 70 au.fn ~
On different evenings Mrs.
Russell varied her programs by
Introducing prominent characters
considered separately. On Fri
day evening her portrayal Of
HWooing of a Bride'i given in
Genesis; again on Sunday even
ing the story of Ruth, always a
favorite, under herr touch az
quired new beauty and pathos,
holding spellbound the crowded
house. The 10Th Psalm, as
handled before the sMethodist
Sunday school. glowed with, a
significance hitherto unsupported
by ordinary bible readers.
It is needless to say that Mrs.
Russell's attractive personality,
her magnetic manner add much
to the effectiveness of her teach
ing. She-is thoroughly saturated
with her subject and, as a conse.
uuence, is able to arouse in 9TH
ers a sense of it's Importance.
Altoge her we feel that Tupelo|
is highly houored. yea blessed,
by having this gifted teacher
