That big blizzard which spread suf-
fering and damage over the north the

evidence being a warm and spring-

surly plsutiiip.

FARM LIFE COMMISSION CHAIRMAN
COMPILES STARTLING DATA.
Tyler, Tex., Jan. 27—Mr. S. A.
Lindsey, cuairuiau uf lue Texas
Farm Life Commission, in discuss-
ing the danger of peasantry, quotes
some startling figures from the Fed-
eral Census Report, showing that in
the last thirtv years the proportion
of tenants in Texas has increased
from 30 per cent of all farmers in
188fi to 52 percent in 1910. In com-
menting upon the statistics Mr.
Lindsey said:
“In the past thirty years, farm
owners have increased at the rate of
a little less than 3,000 a year, while
tenants have increased at the rate
of a little over 5,000 per year.”
Belton—Gas has commenced to is-
sue from an abandoned drill hoie, in
the Koll neighborhood, two miles from
here. The well was abandoned two
years ago, at a depth of 1,170 teet.
The force of the explosion blew the
casing high in the air, and caused
much excitement in the neighbor-
hood. The property will bedeveloyed.
Granger—A bond issue of 910,000
for tho erection of a school building
here has just b^an voted. An increase
in the maintenance tax not to exceed
50 cents on the 9100 valuation was also
authorized.

(This is one of the questions that may

the waters in any direct way or other
than by natural laws?
(3.) Verses 4-5 — Did the arlc rest
“upon the mountains of Ararat” by the
steering of Noah or by the guidance of
God? Why?
(4.) Do the chief events in our lives
come about by our own plans or
through the providence of God? Givo

(5.) Verses G-12—W’hy did God not
tell Noah in advance when the flood
should cease, seeing he had told him to
a day when it should commence?
(G.) What reason is there to believe
that a true Christian may depend that
God will tell him in advance what it is
necessary for him to know and will
only hide, from him what it is better
not to know till the events transpire?
(7.) What means did Noah adopt to
find out if the waters were drying up?
(8.) Seeing God could reveal to us ev-
ery item concerning our affairs, pres-
ent and future, why does be so arrange
that we have to find out for ourselves
just as if there were no God?

Verses 20-22—What would you
say IS the foundation of civilized so
Gud could no Ionge. lure the
sins of men, their Iniquity was full,
therefore. God determined to destroy
them. He did not, however, cut them
off, for we read that they had 120
years’ announcement of the coming of
the flood (v. 18), time enough in
which to repent They also had a
faithful preacher to warn them dur-
ing this time, 2 Peter 2:5. But their
apostasy was complete and they
would have none of God’s mercy nor
heed his warning, Prov. 29:1. Ncah’s
obedience as he built the ark was a
daily reminder of the Impending
flood.
The ark was a flat-bottomed chest
450 feet long, 75 feet broad and 45
feet deep, built of Cyprus (gopher
wood) and coated with pitch. Under
the eaves of the roof was an open
space for ventilation and its three
decks were divided into compart-
ments.
As to the “eight souls” (I Feter
3:20) who entered the ark we need
to remember that usually children and
servants are understood without men-
tion In such enumerations. We are
not to infer that of all created animals
two of each entered the ark. The
flood certainly was not universal and
hence such a miracle was uncalled
for.
Race 8wept Away.
At last the flood arrived at the ex-
act moment prophesied. Its cause
seems to be twofold, a subsidence of
the ground and a downpour of rain.
The Euphrates valley where this
event took place fills all the necessary
conditions. Subsidence would allow
an inundation from the sea. Such an
inundation took place in 1911 in the
Yangtse valley and another in 1901
rendered more than ten million people
homeless; the water rising from 50 to
90 feet. All that the account de-
mands, however, is that a corrupt
race was swept away and that God I
saved his righteous servant and his j
household. It is the privilege of ev-j
ery believer in God to save his house-
hold. See Acts 16:31, 2:9; L Cor. 7:14.
The only way God could insure the
purity of the race was to destroy ir-
revocably the impure.
Skeptics have read into the story
of the flood much extraneous matter.
Some have sought to prove that be-
cause nearly every race under the sun
has a flood tradition therefore the
writer of Genesis is merely passing
on a “Babylonian tradition.” It is far
more reasonable to believe that these
traditions are corrupted forms of the
true account found in the Bible.
For the younger pupils get the
story of the flood as told by Dean
Hodges and tell a connected story of
what has already happened in tho past
lessons and tell them that the story
will bo continued next week Some
good live questions for class discus-
sions would be: What does it mean to
walk with God? Of the four—Igno-
rance, Indifference, consent or con-
demnation of sin—which one must
God take? What is the difference be-
tween wages and a free gift? Did
Noah earn his salvation? Is faith
more than an attitude of mind? Do
