Early last spring, says the Atlanta

riioenix, Ariz., was planted in Egyp
tian cotton with results which have
been in the highest degree satisfac
tory to those immediately concerned
in the experiment. In fact, samples
forwarded to the secretary of agri
culture have been pronounced the
finest ever seen in the department
at Washington, surpassing even the
average specimens produced in the
valley of the Nile. This announce
ment is fraught with very great in
dustrial and commercial significance.
On account of the length of the sta
ple, in addition to other marked ad
vantages, Egyptian cotton has always
commanded the best price In the

tion has been the cause of repeated
efforts to cultivate Egyptian cotton
in the United States, bni until the
Salt r! faTiey experiments were
made lust year it seemed that the
cause was hopeless.. If Egyptian cot

the southwest, it will operate es an

of this undeveloped section of the

There are between 1,500,000 and

' A Philadelphia philosopher thus ex
plains the general preference for a
wall table in a restaurant: "Primi
tive man ate in peril. The cave bear,
the saber tooth tiger, even some war
rior of his own kind, was apt at any
moment to leap upon him and to de
vour hia food, and perhaps himself.
Therefore he took his meal with his
back against a cliff, or in tha corner
nf two adjoining cliffs, if possible, and
with tha open country before him.
That, you sec, was the safest way for
h'm to cat. Ho could not then be sur
prised. And we still have in us that
memory of the primitive man, and we
at ill unconsciously, when we sit down
to our repasts, choose places that give
as a wall for our protection."

A young girl who spent part of the
winter in Washington some years ago
was telling about the array of forks
at the big state dinners. Now, she
knew the uses of some, but the oth
era puzzled her greatly. So she said:
"Whenever I made a mistake I moist
ened the fork with my lips, wiped it
on the sly on my napkin and put it
back in its place. And after that
watched a guest opposite, who was well
posted, and followed her in every move
ment. Then I was safe."

witness, and, by historic force, a
witness who seals his testimony by
his blood. That there should be
martyrs for the Gospel was inev
itable. Truth and error cannot come
into contact without a conflict. The
secret of persecution is hatred of the
truth. Stephen revealed it when he
said to his malignant hearers: . "Ye
do always resist the Holy Ghost"
51). We have in oar lesson, then,
the contrast between one filled with
the Holy Spirit and those who were
resisting Him.
Stephen's Defense. The right to be
heard in one's own defense before
the Sanhedrln was complete and
carefully guarded. Even in the case
of Jesus it was freely accorded.
Jewish ideas, as expressed in the
laws for the procedure of the San
hedrln in criminal cases, were almost,
if not quite, as strong in favor of
giving the accused every opportunity
as are our own in America. In his
plea, Stephen reviewed tha history
of the patriarchs and tha early years
of Israel, with the purpose of show
ing that the system of worship in the
temple might be changed. . The Jews
believed in God'a revelation to Abra
ham, Jacob, Joseph. Moses and
Joshua, none of whom ever had
temple. As God's worship had
changed from altar to tabernacle,
and from tabernacle to temple, so it
might change again from temple to
spiritual worship, verses 48-50 point
out the fact that God's superiority to
the temple was declared in Scripture
(Is. W:l, ) These words, however,
seemeto the Jews sacrilegious, as
throwing contempt on the temple,
and Stephen lost the sympathy and
interest of his hearers when he ut
tered them.
Stoning of Stephen. Such word
could only make tbe feeling of the
Jews more intense, and their hatred
showed itself by gesture. The hatred
was still further set aglow by
Stephen's bold announcement of his
vision of Jesus in glory. That vision
comforting as it was to the martyr,
was to the Sanhedrln only greater
and more atrocious blasphemy. The
situation was too tense for the dig
nity of the Sanhedrln. Stopping their
ears lest they hear still worse utter
ances, they themselves rushed upon
Stephen, not waiting for the guard
to remove him, and hustled him out
to the place of execution. Here the
procedure became more orderly. It
was the law (Deut. 17:7), that when
anyone was stoned to death for false
worship, the witnesses against him
should cast the first stones. The wit
nesses in this case prepared to act
by removing-their outer garments,
which they laid at the feet of Saul,
who thus appears first in the history
of which he soon becomes the ccn
tral figure. Evidently he did not take
any personal part in the stoning,
fact which is one of the strongest
indications that he had attained
the dignity of membership in the
Sanhedrln. Hia enthusiastic, teal
would have led him to enjoy hurling
stones at the supposed blasphemer
had his position permitted such ac
tion. Stephen's first prayer (v. 59)
proves how he kept the faith; his
second (v. SO) shows how Christlike
his spirit waa. This latter is exact
ly in the spirit of Jesus' own word
(Luke 23:34), while so utterly dine
ent in form as to be evidently no quo
tation, but a natural outburst of gen
uine feeling.
Burial of Stephen. Why the apos
tles could remain in Jerusalem while
others were driven away does not ap
pear. Terhaps they stayed from a
sense of duty and were especially
protected. Even so, they must have
remained as much as possible out of
sight. The phrase "devout men" is
used only of Jews. The fact as to
Stephen's burial provea that ' the
movement against him had not been
unanimously supported by those who
had not accepted Jesus as the Christ,
