LESSON FOR APRIL 28.
THE BEATITUDE8.
LESSON TEXT-Matt. 6:1-12.
Gulden TEXT—••Blessed are the pure
In heart for they aliall (No doubt about
It) soo God."
It. was St. AuguBtine who first gave
the ordination address of Jesus, after
choosing the twelve, the title of “The
Sermon on the Mount,” a title now uni-
versally accepted. It is better perhaps
“The Gospel of the Kingdom,” telling
us of the characteristics of these mem-
bers of the new kingdom Jesus came
to establish, the influence of these
members upon the world, and 1r a com-
mentary upon the laws of this king-
dom. It Is this, and more, for it is a
prophecy of the church at work and
also a test whereby we are to know
who belong to this kingdom.
d Their Spiritual Meaning.
There are In reality only Beven of
the Beatitudes, the “blessednesses”
and Beven 1b always typical of perfect-
ness. They are written In Old Testa-
ment language, but give the old form a
new and spiritual meaning. The re-
wards are not arbitrary, but are the
logical outgrowth of the character de-
picted.
The first four are passive virtues.
Happy are those who are poor in spir-
it, not the poor-spirited but the humble
minueu ones conscious of their need.
It is the poor, as to this world, that
are to be rich in faith and to be heirs
of that kingdom which ChriBt has
promised to those that love him (Jas.
2:5). Happy are those that mourn, for
they mourn not as those who have no
hope, they shall be comforted, yea,
they shall be strengthened. Paul tells
us of that sorrow which is unto salva-
tion and need not to be repented of,
but the sorrow of the world worketh
death. Happy are the mosk, those who
are not proud. The pride of man is'
soon cut off as grass. In him, the
meek and lowly, w« are to find rest to
our souls. We are exhorted by the
meekness and gentleness,of Christ to
receive instruction and Peter tells us
that our ornamentation that shall be
of the greatest price is to be meek and
quiet in spirit.
At this point the master begins to
make his practical application of the
lives of those having these character-
istics, upon the world about them.
Happy are the merciful. The with-
holding <M mercy tends to poverty, but
the liberal soul shall be made fat, for
to the merciful he will show himself to
be merciful. Porebearing, and forgiv-
ing we enter into this happiness, being
kind, forgiving, tender-hearted, even, as
Christ hath forgiven us.
Righteousness Defined.
Happy are the pure for they may
draw nigh unto God in full assurance
of faithJ&^Liigfiitijdves and on behalf
of others. Indeed the writer of He-
brews tells ub that without holiness
(purity) no man can see God, not our
own righteousness wherein we might
boast but the righteousness of Christ
which is by faith.
Happy aro the peace makers, tho re-
ceivers and the diffuses of this king-
dom. Not merely peaceable men, nor
pieces of men, but rather as Tyndale’s
version is, "the maintainers of peace."
Led by the spirit of God they are not
only called the Bons of God, but arc
the sons of God (Rom. 8:14). “The
cause, not the pain, makes the
martyr,” said St. Augustine. Those
who are presented for righteousness’
sake, not those who seek persecution,
are possessors of this kingdom; pos-
sessing it they arc persecuted.
Being is doing—doing does not pro-
duce life, and we have here a linking
of the old law and the new gospel. His
kingdom brings blessedness, happi-
ness; satan's kingdom turns to the ap-
ples of Sodom. God says, speak out,
endure for others. His kingdom is dis-
tinguished by altruism. The kingdom
of darkness says: “Keep still, live for
^ourself.” This kingdom knows not
the essence of brotherhood.
Man ever asks this old question:
“How may I bo happy?” Those whom
Jesus selects as the happy ones are
looked upon by the world as the most
unfortunate, but time has proven and
eternity will justify these declarations
of Christ. The good of thiB age -be-
longs to the selfish and self-assertive,
the good of the coming age to the self-
renouncing. It is better to have sor-
rowed and to have received his com-
fort than never to have sorrowed at
.all. The message of the meek will get
a hearing as against the censorious,
and the supremely happy are those
who shall see God.
Hunger for the highest and the
noblest can find a supply for all its
needs in Jesus the Son of God and
only according to the principles he
here sets forth.
jcBus saw the multitude when ne
gave us this sermon, which is not
sermon at all. He understood their
need, the otate of their hearts and
what was in their minds. He did not
;s«r them as so many -paws* -upon tho
chess board of life; he saw their life,
their sorrows, their sins. He read the
story of human need and human des-
tiny.
Why rejoice over our reproach? Be
cause this is the path into this new
kingdom. And Affien we walk “for
Christ’s sake” wo shall enter thereiu
and rejoice greatly for we shall have
“great reward in heaven.”
1812 Calenuais
We have a fine collection of cal-
endars for 1912. These are samples,
no two alike, and have no advertising
matter. They consist of handsome
wall pockets and art panels, and are
most-desirable for Christmas presents.
We are selling them cheap, at actual
wholesale cost. They are pretty
ornaments for the wall, and are al-
ways handly for reference. Call and
seo them dt the Beacon office.
Much is being said these days
about ensilage for dairy feed and
oue of the most progressive com-
munities in tins line is found near
Alvin in tno neighboring county of
Brazoria.
We are convinced that the silo has
passed the experimental stage not
only in Northern States but also in
the coast country. Tho following
communication from 8. K. Mebane
to the Alvin Advocate has tho smack
of actual achievement also the
names of Brazoria county farmers
with whom our Matagorda county
farmers might well get into corre-
spondence. The cheapness of the
silo and its great value seems to
make it indispensable in this sec-
tion and we believe a mistake will be
made if a number are not built be-
fore the present forage and corn crop
is ready lor harvest.
Road what Mr. Mobane has to say
and if not satisfied write one or more
of the men named.
“A few years back, having a few
head of Jersey cattle, I concluded
to increase my herd and go into the
dairy business. I have always had
an idea that some day this would be
a great dairy county, and I soon
found the trouble was too much high
priced feed.
The grass is fine here for a few
months in the Spring and early
Summer, but sometime in August
or early September it begins to get
old and tougb, the cows fall off in
their milk. The yield of butter fat
becomes so low that there is very
little profit in the business. To
remedy this state of affairs, last fall
we built a silo.
Our silo is 12 feet in diameter and
24 feet high, we fill it with Red Top
Sorghum. This sorghum was
planted about August 1st and we
did not commence to feed silage un-
til January 1st. Up to this time I
r% pi F a a J I n aaIIa,- aaa/3 w a a 1 a*>,1
»» M0 iVVMitit. V/OVbOU QOVU UiVUl WUVt
prairie hay. The flow of milk in-
creased at once, nay cows were soon
doing just as well as they do ou
green grass.
Now, Mr. Editor, we all know we
can raise an abundance of green
feed here, the trouble hae been to
save it; the silo makes dairying a
good safe business proposition.
We baye a creamery at Alvin,
that will buy every pound of but-
ter fat that you will bring to them.
The creamery here can use ten times
the stuff they are getting.
The cream is not the only source
of profit from the dairy, we can raise
our calves with separated milk, also
some pigs and it is fine for chickens.
.The fertilizer if returned to the land
will enable you to raise much larger
crops.
COST OF SILO
A silo 12x25 feet can be built for
about $150, thio pays for all ma-
terial. also for concrete foundation
and pays carpenters bill for putting
it up; such a silo will hold from 75
to 100 tons of green feed. Forty
pounds a day is a full feed for one
cow.
The Alvin lumber yards can fur-
nish the material cut ready to go up.
I believe you can get a better silo
and get it cheaper here, than you
can by sending off for it. If you arc
interested, come out and I will lake
pleasure in showing you mine.
There are six silos in Alvin and
vicinity, I will give you names of.
parties owning silos so you can in-
vestigate for yourself: J. A. Moore,
E. C. Winston, J. H. Story, Z. P.
Evans, Chris Peterson and myself.
Every one of these will tell you that
they would not try to run a dairy
without a silo.
I expect to build another this year,
I will fill with corn, sorghum and
“soy” beans; and expect to feed it
at least nine months.
Now brother farmer, we have to
solve the feed proposition in this
Gulf coast country; you know the
farmers in this country cannot stand
the tremendous expense of buying
all their feed. The silo will help
solve this problem.
The people about Alvin can raise
ail of their feed, except cotton seed
meal: if we raise some cotton, we
will have the seed and can do with-
out the meal.
Rairs strawberries, sell them for
cash, get a bunch of milk cows and
build a silo and you wili soon find
we have a good country.

a Line on this Corn Contest.
Judge Holman, of the Texas In-
dustrial Midcoast Congress, has
evolved the following plan to stimu-
late intensified farming in the differ-
ent counties composing the Mid-
coast. We are informed that the
people of Calhoun and Brazoria
counties have taken the matter up
and are going to give to the winner of
the sweepstakes prize in that county
a $50 cup. We are also iuformed
that there will be a number of very
handsome prizes distributed.
Matagorda county should do some-
thing in this line. There is every
reason to believe that if some in-
ducement was offered, a number of
contestants would enter the race
from this county. Every acre of
ground brought under intensified
cultivation in this county will stim-
ulate others to give more attention
to cultural methods, and the result
will be that we will soon haye one
of tbe best farmed counties in the
state.
We hope that Vice President Cul-
ver will arise to the importance of
the situation, and will get busy
among the progressive people of the
county and 6ee to it that Matagorda
county does as well, or better, than
Calhoun and Brazoria counties in
the matter of a sweepstakes prize.
Now is the time for action.
“One of the practical results of
the Angleton meeting of the Texas
Midcoast Industrial Congress is the
arranging for a midcoast corn con-
tea to be held at the fall meeting.
This contest will be free of entrance
faeB and open to any resident of the
midcoast territory. Those who have
already made plans to compete for
the prizes offered by tbe Texas In-
dustrial Congress may also be for-
tunate enough to secure a prize in
this contest. Although the com-
plete program cannot he given at
this time, enough esn be msde pub*
lie to give an incentive to the mid-
coast farmers to get busy and raise
good corn and bring it to tbe fall
meeting.
A county sweepstakes premium
for each county is to be competed
for by the corn growers of the coun-
ty giving it. Ribbons of appropriate
colors are to be given by the con-
gress to the winners of the first,
pecond, third, fourth and fifth places
in the various county contests.
A midcoast sweepstakes premium
is to be competed for by the win-
ners of the county sweepstakes.
Ribbons of appropriate colors for
the first, second, third, fourth and
fifth places in the same competition.
The sweepstakes premiums arc to
be retained by the winners for one
year, when they are to be returned
to tbe congress to be competed for
again and should a contestant win a
sweepstakes premium three years in
succession it then becomes his per-
sonal property.
All exhibits to become the prop-
erty of the congress, and ehall be
disposed of according to the action
of its officers.
All entries to be made as directed
by tbe officers.
Suitable premiums will be gi-ven
for largest yield per acre and for
best individual ears.
No entrance fee will be charged.
Contest open to any resident of the
midcoast territory.
Rules of the American Corn As-
sociation to govern.
Judges will be provided irom the
A. and M. College.
Those wishing to enter the con-
test can secure full information by
applying to the vice president of the
congrese for his county as follows:

there are 042 good living trees. This
orchard was planted last year on
ground which was heavy hog wallow

It was given good thorough cultiva-
tion but no irrigation or water at all
except the natural rainfall and the
season was a very dry one. That rbis
