One of the Bible selections in

he should touch them: and his dis
cipleS rebuked those that brought
them. But When Jesus saw it, he
wa. much displeased, and said un-

The Lesson Sermon presents also
these words from Science and

ton. Great progress has been made
particularly during the last fifteen
wears. in the rounding OF south
ern agriculture. Here in the Middle
west. farm people are already
alarmed by the inroads southern
corn. beef. truck crops, and dairy
products are making in their mar
ketS.
Industries Trek Southward
Meanwhile. there has been tre-
mendous industrial progress. A big
labor supply, the proximity to the
cotton fields. good water-power,
combined with union troubles IN
the North, long ago forced New
England textile mills to move TO
the Piedmont section of the Caro-
linas and Georgia. In more recent
years. however. the migration OF
northern industries has broadened.
From the northwestern and middle
western states. other businesses have
pulled up stakes and moved toward
the Gulf. Today the South Is not
ONLY the cotton textile center of
the country but it has growing in
terests in iron and steel, in pottery,
in clothing, in chemicals, and in
kraft paper.
The discovery OF the great oil
fields of Texas. Oklahoma, and Lou
iSiana gave the South another hypo-
dermic. With petroleum came a
myriad of by-product industries and
service businesses. The fast-growing
sections Of the United States today
are in the oil regions of the South
and Southwest. Furthermore, during
the last decade the South has vigor-
ouSly advertised its advantages as
a vacation land. Hundreds of thou
sands of people now make an an
nual pilgrimage to Florida and the
Gulf coast, to Texas and Arkansas,
to New Mexico and Arizona. The
resort business has become a thriv-
ing industry.
Mere Industries Will Follow
With the cotton problem becom-
ing more critical each year, the
success of this new industry will
be a great boon for the South.
Moreover. I believe that newsprint
will decoy other industries south
ward. More chemical concerns will
journey Outward. Rayon mills and
accessory companies will
be the next in line. Modern roads,
splendid transportation facilities,
good low-priced labor supply,
warm climate, rich natural re-
and progressive leaders
mean that the center of industry
will continue to drift South for
many years to come The South is
an empire in itself-young. vigorous.

far-reaching. 1t will be another step
In the industrialization of the new
South. Low costs in the South will
force northern neWsprint makers
TO follow the trek Of the textile mills

southern pine will become a new
major crop. possibly as important
in the years to come as cotton is

The South's great problem even
before the Civil War. was its one
crop economy. Cotton was king.
When cotton prices were high or
crops good, the South prospered.
When cotton prices were low or
crops failed. there were hard times
