THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE
Read Acts 28:12-20.
1 have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a _
minister and a witness both of .these things which thou hast
seen, and of those things in thee which I will appear unto thee.
(Acts 26:16.) —
One morning at 1:15 we were awakened by a knocking at the door.
A neighbor was ill and needed help urgently. We went to his house
i-nd found him so seriously ill that we took him to the hospital.
After he had recovered from his illness, 1 asked him what he would
have done if we had not heard the call for help. He said the call would
have continued until we did hear.
'Hiis was a most favorable moment, and I said to him. ‘‘The Lord
Jesus is knocking insistently at your hear right now. He wants to make
you his disciple and to heal you of your sins. Why don’t you listen to
Him, at least once?”
After pondering my words, he gladly accepted the call of Christ
PRAYER
Loving Father, in Thy great mercy Thou dost grant us op
portunity to become Thy disciples. Make us truly Thy disci
ples. Let not family and comfort hold us back. We ask in
the name of our Master and Lord. Amen. x

Farm Loan Ratos
Are Unchanged, Says
County Loan Agent
Interest rates' on Farmers Home
Administration’ loans remain un
changed in spite of the trend to high
er rates, states Henry Mitchell, su
pervisor of the County FHA office.
Operating loans carry 5%, farm
Housing loans are 4%, and emer
gency loans are still at 3%7
However, emergency, loans are
not available in this area and will
not be available except in the event
that.a general disaster condition is
proclaimed by the Secretry of Agri
culture.
The 4% farm housing loan is still
in effect and provides a made-to-
ordcr method for farm people to
provide the dwelling or farm build
ings necessary to operate a farm.
Even though the borrower is not re
quired to live on his farm to qualify
for a farm housing loan, he must
own a farm that is generally consid
ered a “farm" in his community,
receive a substantial portion of his
income from his farming operation,
and 'be unable to obtain the neces
sary credit from other recognized
credit sources.

Of the thousands of South Caro

In general, where competing
forms of busines exist, it is better
for the government to let the nat
ural laws of economics rule Thus,
at least, is the American free enterj

been argued that the logical posi
lion of the government to take in re
gard to pay television is to let full
competition exist, even if this com-!
petition results in the extinction of
free television.

maximum public benefit.
I carry the same principle a step
further I maintain that, by the
same principle, the public ought not
to be required to pay a fee to re
ceive any broadcasts that are sent

The people who cannot afford pay
