"The farmers of numbers of com munities are busy preparing for the setting out of orchids this fall" said H. l.. Brown, agricultural agent.
 This year we have arranged to purchase by wholesale in car lots. Result of this is that where the in- dividual would have paid about 45 cents per tree, he will get his trees for 10 cents.
 we will order from 1000 to 15,000 fruit trees, peaches being in the lead, with apples next. We will also plant plums. pears, grapes, raspber- ries, dewberries, blackberries and strawberries There will be consid- erable planting of oceans with a view to combination of shade and fruit.

That the crisis is passed in the process of deflation and that we are on the road to prosperity, with yet long distance to go, is the opinion of J. D. Moore, president of the Moore and Handley Hardware company, in an interview given out yesterday. He states there are problems yet to be solved, but if the people will go to work with a good will, things will adjust them selves and prosperity follow.
 We are already advancing toward the period of prosperity but provi- dence has very wisely hidden the future from mankind" said Mir. Moore. "Therefore, prophecy of what the future holds in store is risky.

 ANNUAL SESSION
Large Number of Students Enrolling Indicates That Attendance May Exceed
 300 By End of Week

Addresses by three of Birming- hams prominent citizens featured the opening exercises of the seventy ninth session of Howard college, held in the college auditorium Monday morning at 10 o'clock, with many students already enrolled and indi- cations pointing to the largest en- rollment ever registered at the local institution.
 The new president, Dr. J. c. Daw- son, presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers, wno were Dr. |. F. Hogan, Dr. F. w. Bar nett and Dr W. c. James
 indorse Dr. Dawson
 All the speakers were profuse in their expressions of approval of the action of the board of trustees in eiecting pr. Dawson president of the college, and spoke at length upon the Iact that he worked ms way through college, at a time when this accomplishment was much more ult- 1Icult than at the present tlme.
 The introductory address was de- livered by Dr. Hogan, superintendent of the Hillman hospital. His sub Ject might have been students, have Purpose," discussing the need or recognized ideal in the students work. ana illustrating by brief nis- tory of the accompllshments of the various presidents of Howard.
 The next speaker was Dr. Frank Willis Barnett of The A Herald who ventLred the prediction that tive years from now the girls would out number the boys in the student body Dr. James, president of the Alabama Baptist Educational association, made the closing address. making d special appeal for needy students to work their way through college.

versity. If conclusions are drawn from only a part of them, while oth- CTS are ignored, the guess will prob ably prove incorrect. The best guide to the future is the lamp of exper- fence.
 In the past it will be noticed that periods of prosperity are followed by periods of depression and de- pression is likewise followed by pros- perity. Action and reaction are practically equal We have had a great prosperity and it is being fol- lowed by the corresponding period of depression. This depression be- gan in the spring of 1920 and has been quite violent but has not yet equaled the period of prosperity Hence, we are to look for a further period of adjustment.
 Necessary Balance
 Many of the commodities have already gone far enough and there are yet some other commodities that must come into line. They must get into line and strike the necessary balance, but some of the things that are already too low are advancing in price to get in line with the things that now appear too high. In fact it S~~iiiS tiisil tire pi OuuCtS Ol tHe Ial m 5 were the first to deflate, both in com modities and farm labor which sank to too great depth and the eco homie law which operates independ- ently of government is already ad Justing itself to higher levels and thus get in line.
 Tn the period of what we tern, great prosperity people incurred large indebtedness which must be li- quldated so as to make a new start. This liquidatio has been taking place rapidly and must be completed before we have full prosperity. This condition of which I speak has been world wide, which makes the condi- ton far more serious.
 Enormous Debts
 ihe large indebtedness necessarily incurred in conducting the World war has burdened the world witt, enormous debts that will reau.ra a long period to liquidate and in con- sequence the next generation will be nurdened with heavy taxation in ad- uition to the necessary expense of

His creatures. Through Him, Christ
our best endeayOlS to do His will
are acceptable, and we are reck-
oned ah having passed from under
condemnation to death into justifi-
cation to life so long as we abide
under the blood which secured the
New Covenant. In no other way
could any be accepted by God; For
the law given in Eden was one that
required absolutely perfect obedi-
ence, and the law covenant given al
Sinai demanded the same. Ad now,
since we know that God could not
give an imperfect law (James 3:1D.
And since we know that no imper-
feet person could fully obey per-
feet law, we see the necessity for us
being free from under the law and
accepted in the merit Of our beloved
Christ. Hence, we conclude that
those in Christ, whether they be
Jews or Gentiles, are in no sense
under the law given al Sinai, craven
upon stones, termed, The Ten Com
mandments," neither TO the ceremo-
nial attachments relating TO typical
feasts, sacrifices and Services.-Heb.
9:1.
No wonder then that the Apos-
tie, so earnestly sought TO guard
the new Gentle converts from be-
coming Jews and -eeking life under
the Law Covenant, by which neither
he nor his nation had been able to
profit. No wonder he exhorted
them to stand fast in the liberty Of
Christ and His gracious arrange
ments under the Covenant Of Grace.
II was in view Of this danger OF
their losing faith in Chrst's finished
work, and trusting for salvation

Covenant BY works that Paul even
prohibited the circumcision Of Cen
iile converts. although he approved

given as a symbol and rite long be-
fore the Law Covenant was made.
Hence the remark that, The Gospel

in the study Of the Scriptures to
observe that the Apostles often re-
