Text Is Too often Interpreted In
UnlnteIIieent Manner.

II is strange that the reading OF the
Bible aloud in an acceptable manner
should neutrality-suspicious. In
superable difficulties, remarks a writer
In the London Spectator. 1t is writ
ten In the finest English Of the finest
period. 1t concerns subjects Of uni
versal and undying interest. II is en-
deared to every listener by tradition
and recollection. But the evidence
proves It Is hard to read well. Men
especially interested in philosophy and
religion, especially trained in Hebrew
and Greek literature, specially anxious
to bring the truths Of Scripture home
50 their audience, read 1t for the most
par, In abominable fashion.
We cannot insult them by supposing
their weekly task an easy one. We
cannot, on the other hand, deny that
the Old and New Testaments offer
great scope for fine reading. The task
Of the curate at lectern is like the task
Of the executant before the piano. The
one has great literature before him
the other great music. The audience
waits for his Interpretation. As rule,
with many and marked exceptions, the
curate runs through his work in such
a mechanical and uninterested manner
as would empty a concert hall II imi-
tPted by his brother artists. He reads
heroic passages as though they were
dull parish notices, arguments as cut
and-dried snippets of dOgmatism, ant
shrewd proverbs as sacred poetry. ~

Shall Chaos or Reconstruction
IN Europe Follow the Great
World War?
NEW, GREAT FORCES AT WORK
Demand for New Order Of Things Is
Universal and Reactionaries Merely
Swell the Rising Tide of
Discomfort
Article ~.
BY FRANK coMERFoRp.

The most obvious thing in Europe Is
the changed attitude of the people,
and yet there are many, particularly
n the conservative. employing class,
who refuse to see. There are none so
blind as these. While they close their
eyes and minds to the obvious, the
change goes on. 1t is not idle rhe5or-
ic to say that new great forces are at
work. OF course you cannot see the
forces any more than you can see the
grass growing, but you can see the
effects. You can measure the charac-
ter of the forces.
Everywhere | found people talking
about new Order. Men separated
by hundreds of miles are thinking and
talking the same ideas. 1t startled
me to hear the same ideas up in the
Balkans that | had heard in France
and England. I did not meet any one
who was able to give me a clear, com
on the lips of everyone. 1t has
meaning, and time will produce plan
The people are forward lOOking-they
are thinking, waiting for something to
happen. They have faith that 1t will
happen and that 1t will bring great
good to the human race. Every one
seems confident that some great CON-
pensation must and will come out of
the siege of suffering through which
they have passed. II they were not
so earnest. so sane, so determined
about it | should have interpreted
their enthusiasm as fantasy.
A meaningless minority of reaction
aries scorn and scott at all talk of
new Order. These are the backward
looking men of big business, the stand
patters in politics. They are out of
touch with the times; they think the
real world is the little circle in which
they live. They are the barnacles on
big business. They smugly set down
all talk of change as bolshevism.
Fortunately the real leaders of bust
ness are breaking away from this
point of view. Progressive, human and
open minded. they see and know that
unrest Is problem and that 1t must
be solved. They are paying heed to
the complaints of the workers. They
admit that there is justice back of the
complaints. Instead of arguing coer-
cion. they are talking concession. They
know a change has come, they want

SLOWLY, ADVICE

Etc, Urges Agricul-
tural Dept.

ATLANTA, July 20-The Geor-
gia Department of Agriculture il a
bulletin today says it has noted with
interest and pleasure the recent rapid
advances made in the price of cotton,
Nevertheless, the Department feels it
only proper to caution and advise
Georgia farmers not to get excited
over the upward turn, and not to
rush their cotton rapidly to market,
a course the evil effect of (which in
former seasons is only too well
known.
A short cotton crop is inevitable,
declares Commissioner Brown, who
has visited every section of the state
and made close observation of crop
conditions. Considering the present
demand and the good prices at which
manufactured cotton goods are being
sold, the tendency of raw cotton must
be upward, Mr.. Brown states.
eff the cotton producers are not
in hurry to sell, and the law of sup
ply and demand is made to operate
as it should, in the process of putting
cotton on the market" said MT
Brown, there is no doubt in my mind
that record-breaking prices will pre-

GEORGIA FACING
ODSHORTACE
Short Crop at Good
Prices Certain, Says
Brown

ATLANTA, July 2O.-Reports
reaching the Georgia Department of
Agriculture from all parts of the
country, strongly indicate a consid-
cradle food shortage the coming Win
ter and spring, unless measures are
taken now to avert it.
There is every apparent reason
why the farmers of Georgia should
profit by this condition, states Com.
missioner j. J. Brown. They can
put in fall crops of the harder veg
etables like Irish potatoes, turnips
and others, with the prospect of a
fine demand at good prices.
Georgia farmers should also be
making their plans now to put in
the best wheat crop the state ever
had. 1t will be a good thing fol
them to devote their very best acres
to this crop, preparing them as soor
as possible, and planting just as ear
ly as the danger of damage by the
Hessian fly has passed.
These suggestions are made by the
department, both in the interest Of
the farmer and the consumer; for
it looks now as if the consumers will
need more food than is going to be
made, and the demand promises to
hold up well during. the next twelve
months or more.
