sow THISTLE

1t is to be hoped that the discussion of the SOW
thistle held in Grand Forks recently under the
auspices of the federal land bank will not result in
the creation of a false impression among our OWE
people as to the real character of this menace to ag-
r%icultural development. The SOW thistle is not un-
comfortable, and its presence in a neighborhood
does not indicate that that neighborhood is an un-
safe field for investment. But neglect of the weed
is bound to be disastrous, and evidence Of such neg
ligence is bound to react unfavorably on the credit
of the entire community.
The sow thistle can be eradicated from fields
of which it has taken full possession, but where once
It has got a start it cannot be controlled while ordi-
nary2grain cropssare grown. 1t will choke out any
crop OF small grain, and on such fields will seed
itself and distribute itself throughout the surround
ing territory. Clean summer fallow. sweet clover,
pasture, and cultivated crops such as corn and po-
8tatocs may all be used in the work of determination
but negligence will not do, and the raising of small
grains will not do on lands where the pest has got

o have introduced a highly spec
ulative element into an otherwise
staid pastime. They viii grasp the
idea and possibilities OF the new
game. To others it will be necessary
to give a somewhat detailed explain
alton.
Auction golf may be played as a
twosome, but it is essentially a four
ball match. When partners have
honor on the first tee make a bid for
the first hole That is to say they
announce, that they are prepared to
contract to play the first hole with
a certain aggregate score. Their OPP
ponents may then bid one less, may
permit the original bid to stand OF
may double that bid. In any event,
the bidding continues until one pair
Is satisfied to let the other have the
contract. In case of a double there
may be a redouble, and unless a limit
has been fixed the redoubling may be
carried on until n side weakens.
A contract having been. established
play begins. The pair that has the
contract strives to play the hole in
the stipulated number of strokes, or
les. If they make their contract
they collect the amount of the agreed
stake. If they make the hole in one
stroke less than their contract, they
collect double the amount of the
stake. If they fail to make their con-
tract by one stroke, THUR loss is dou-
BILE the stake. If they fail by two
strokes. it is four times the stake. All

keeps Saturday instead Of Sunday,
and he readily refers you TO the Old
Testament, quoting: Remember the
Sabbath day Saturday TO keep Il
holy"
There ia not a congregation in
Lubbock with which we could unite
without being forced TO submit to
and recognize some things just be-
cause they are mentioned in the Old
Testament. We are the only people
in the town who take the New Tcs-
lament. We are the only people in
the town who take the New Testa-
mcnt as our only rule Of faith and
practice. In our work and worship
no one Is required 70 submit 70 a
thing that cannot be sustained, eth
er by preccpt or example, from the
New Testament scripture. We do
not rcpudiate the Old Testament
any more than do Others Rather
we reverence Il rs the word Of the
Living God. But we recognize the
fact that we are not living under
the Old Testament age, but under
the New Testament age. Not under
Moses, but under Christ. We do
nothing as worship or service 70
God simply because Il Is mentioned
rs worship or service in the Old
Testament.
Again, we are peculiar in believ-
ing In and teaching the all-suffi-
cheney ~ the Chnrch. We believe
the church is a divine institution,
and therefor perfect. We believe
that Gods people can do all God
wants them 70 do only as humble
members Of His Church. We are
sure God would not give Us an I'M
perfect institution and leave Il 20
mans wisdom 10 perfect. II u il
perfect, Il certainly doesn't need any
Of the human organizations such a.
Ladies Aid Societies." Missionary
Societies." etc. TO assist Il.
We challenge you 10 name one
thing which God requires Of US that
we can't do only a. members Of the
Church. We can preach the Gospel
20 the whole world. Worship as God

are opposed to all man-made So
cieties, whose purpose II is to do the
work Of the Church. In this we
stand alone.
We are peculiar again in our ef-
fort TO use Sound Speech, that can
nes be condemned" Git. 2; 81.
Paul said TO Timothy: Hold fast
the form Of sound words. which
thou hast heard Of me, in faith and
love which is in Christ Jesus, 2
Tim. 1: 10. The Form Of sound
words" or Sound Speech" IS found
in the Bible, Of course. Bible things
should wear Bible names
In vain do we search the scrip
ture for one instance where the
word Reverend" was ever applied
10 man. The word is found only
one time in the Bible, and this time
II Is applied to Jehovah Himself.
(Psa. III; o. Yet today the meresi
tryo is addressed as Reverend. y
One had just as well bs called ia
Their" In a religious sense as 20 be
called Reverend" Both should be
applied 10 God only. Jesus says
"But be not yc called Rabbi; for
one Is your master, even Christ /:
and all ye are brethren. And call
no man your Father upon the earth
for one Is your Father which Is In
heaven" Mat. %. 50.
Again, the Bible nowhere recog-
nizes he preacher Is "the pastor.
The elders. or bishops, or ovorseers
are the pastors Of the Church. II
Is their duty 10 look after the spir-
itual welfare Of the congregation.
The preacher may be a pastor II
he Is one Of the elders, but he can
not in the Bible sense be The Pas
tor" In this we stand alone, for. n
! am not mistaken. every other con-
gregation in this City recognize
their preacher as the Reverend-Pas-
tor.
Again. we are peculiar in opposing
all worldly amusements for the pur-
pose Of raising money for the
Church. Such things tend TO de-
grade Christianity in the eyes Of
the world. We never have Church
suppers," Church Shows" Candy
Pullings," or Tom Thumb We'd

simply give, as the Lord prosperr
US. Cor 10: 2.
Once more, we are peculiar in
that we believe in preaching" 10
save the world, ! Cor. !; 81. We
never preach a ten minute or twen-
~ minute sermon, and then spend
an hour or two doing something
else not preaching save people.
We do not resort TO sensational al
fairs or exciting storiesdont even
pray God 90 try some untried means
We are satisfied with the means lie
has given us-the Gospel. We be-
lieve the Gospel is the Power Of
God unto salvation Rom. j: 10.
These are few Of our peruliari-
ties, but are they not sufficient to
Justify our cxistcncci Don't you
want 20 be thus ne uliar2
Let ms 70 back to the unity Of
the beginning, have no creed but
the Bible, wear no name but Christ's
and have only the New Testament
as our rule Of faith and practice.

Now then going to the next item, the
discount of business or commercial pa
per actually owned by the person ne
gotiating the same. Now here, Blr.
Emick, if you go into the bank to bor-
row a thousand dollars you give your
note. You are not the owner of that
note. You are the maker of it. Ism t
that clear. and reasonable to all of
youf And if you take Mr.. Horne 5

and take that note to the bank, that
is not your note, you are not tie
maker of that note, but you are the
person owning it, actually owning and
negotiating the same. Now that is
clear tint it, AS I said discount in
its ordinary sense now means a sale.
All right. Did the Rawson- Works
Lumber Company sell their paper to
F. W. Waterman? No. He went 20
the bank and drew these drafts. They
didn't purchase that paper. It WASH t
discounted. There was absolutely no
element Of discount in that. Neither
is there any element of business or

Absolutely none. They were simply
