RELIEF In NEAR EAST.

L. A. Cooper, Southern division
al director of the American Com
mittee for relief in the Near East,
who has just returned, from trip
in the Southern States, said:
Owing to the fact that there
has been an increase of influenza
in the Southern States, the cam
paign for thirty million dollars for
the relief of the starving thousands
of the Near East, has been tempor-
arily postponed in many countries
elf the people of America could
picture to themselves 6 community
suffering from the worst known
epidemic of influenza with thous-
.ands of people dying of that dis
ease end from starvation with veEy
little food and less medical aid
they would have some idea of con-
ditions in the Near East. In some
of the cities, the. people are SO des-
olate and weakened from continued
want that they are unable to bury
their dead bodies and as many die
each night from starvation, they
are carried out and their bodies
laid on the<street to be; picked UP
and loaded on push carts and dump
ed into the nearest river.
"Dr. Henry Riggs, just as he
was preparing to sail from New
York on a relief ship for Armenia
and Syria, received a cable from
that country urging immediate
help and telling of conditions that
are unprintable. These people
have suffered agonies that were
unknown to human beings and are
still suffering aud being prosecuted
on account of the unshakable faith
in Christianity. The Christian
people of America have wonder
full opportunity to make them
selves Christ's agents to answer
the prayers of these people for
help"

Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in
the ways, and see, and ask for the
old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shall find
rest for your SOULS jeremiah vi
16.
Reader, do you ever stop to con-
slider where you are going? Do
you ever consider upon the great
object of life? The old Prophet
Is here delivering a very momen-
tous exhortation to those whom he
is addressing, Stand ye in the
ways, aud see, and ask for the old
paths, wherein is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shell;6nd
rest for your souls"
You are, we are all going some
where. All human beings are
travellers. Lifeis the wayin which
they are journeying. The great
eternity is the termination to which
all are daily hesting. Yet with
this momentous fact before us most
of us are only anxious about the
way, and utterly thoughtless about
the end. We are often very sor-
rowfully impressed with the reck-
lessness Of people in reference to
their eternal destiny. Many are
spending their lives as if they
had no soul which must be saved
from sin or be forever lost in g
world of unending night. They
are living as if there was no hell
to shun or heaven to gain.
"Stand ye," says the old Prophet.
Consider and know that you are
fast hasting to the hour when you
must meet Almighty God and an
swer for the manner in which you
spent this life. Would you be
willing to meet him while walking
in the path you are now treading?
Ask for the good way and walk
therein.

PLANS OF THE
MISSION BOARD

According to a statement sent
out this week from the news d.
vision of the M. E. Church, South,
Nashville, Tenn, particular effort
will be made by the Department of
Home Missions of the Church to
help mountain work. Ten schools
now under conference ownership
will be financially assisted with
$4,000 each, while the same sum
will be spent annually in carrying
on the religious and social work
needed to meet the immediate
needs of these people.
The foreigners now in the South
and West will be the bene6ciaries
OF the campaign to the extent of
forty night schools, thirty churches
and additional missions. Three
schools for Mexicans will need
100000 each, the Textile Indus
trial Institute at Spartanburg S. G.
for cotton mill operatives, will re-
ceive $150,000 aud the circuit rid
ers of the church will, together
with hundreds of Methodists past
ors, have, their small salaries
raised to meet the higher scale of
living of the present day.
The Woman's Work, Home De-
partment, has outlined it's efficiency
program for the next five years
+ Tin addition to its present income
as follows: Mountain work, $685.
600; city work, 1900; Latin
Americans, $15l,000; Gulf Coast
work, $82, 500; orientals on Pacific
Coast, $4,000 Negros, $243, 900;
dependent girls, 100000.
The expenditure of such vast
sums of money in the Southern
and Western States during the
immediate months ana years ahead
and in such definite phrases OF
reconstructiou-means a great step
forward for the population therein
affected. A large portion of the
$35, 100000 will also be spent in
reconstruction work in France and
Belgium and in sending medical
and educational missionaries to
Africa, Brazil, China, Cuba, Japan
and Mexico, as well as building up
the missionary work substantially
in those countries.

FARM PROGRAM.

l Increase the acreage of small
grains and pastures.
2 Increase and improve the farm
livestock.
3 Grow more hay and better
pastures.
4 Balance grains fed, with pas
turage, silage, roughage and con-
centrates.
Harvest crops with livestock
in the fields and save labor.
6 Make best use of men, teams
and implements.
Z Grow hig her crop yields to
the acre, use more fertilizer and
better tillage.
s Increase fertility; grow Glow
er. use lime, phosphate and ma
nures.
8 Save expenses; grow every
thing possible at home.
10 Have a productive orchard,
a year-around garden, laying hens
and good cows.
Ii Avoid waste everywhere; save
food, feed, labor and machinery.
IL Invest surplus earnings wise
ly.
Peace is at hand, and problems
of reconstruction demand the at
tention of all the world. Until
normal conditions can be restored
in Europe the American farmer
must put forth a continuous effort
in food production. The war dis
turbed our farm operations, con-
fronting US with urgent demands
for food products that had to be
met under increasing labor diff
culties. Everywhere the patriotic
farmers of America met their prob
lem. Our armies and Allies were
fed; our working population at
home was fed, but the even tenor
of our farming was interrupted.
1t is a time for careful rehec-
tion and conservative action.
Farm products sell for more money
than at any time in our history.
There'll be a strong tempt alton to
speculate, to plunge heavily in
farm as in other enterprises. Study
the agricultural needs of the coun-
try and your own necessities.
The Tennessee Farm program
for 1919 is based oD safe farming.
1t seeks to increase the fertility of
the land while providing for in
creased crop and livestock produc-
tion. 1t has in view varied lines
of farming, providing different
sources of revenue. 1T endeevors
