Christ. Himself endured a •?°- v the cross, and despised the it is not shame, "for the joy set be fore Him.” There is an entirely natural justment, conservation cost- j ov obtainable bv entirely na- aharing and others. Principal commodity programs admin istered by the local commit tee, farmer participation and payments for 1967 are: 450 farms participated in the Agricultural Conservation Program for earnings of $104,000. The 95 farms parti- j cipatirig in the Cropland Ad-1 justment Program earned $103,690 ; 285 farms participa- and a hunger satisfied. Such though pure and eter nal, is inclined to become sel fish, and so this first phase of the fruit of the Spirit should ripen into joy in its salvation of others. Nothing so adds to the real it, as the tural means. But __ what is described as a “fruit ^ • an ^ purifies of the Spirit"; for that is a result ot receiving the Spirit, and walking in the Spirit.

Those who have led ev- ual joy Natural jov does not . . . .. 0 on one individual to the Sa viour know how deep is the joy involved. Yet there Is something deeper still. Joy in service is better than joy in merely personal blessing; but the ul timate joy in a Christian’s life is the pure joy in God Himself. Sincere believers have found this all down the ages. Habakkuk has a re markable passage in which he describes a scene of utter natural desolation, and then finishes with a triumphant burst, “yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will joy ini the God of my salvation.” Vaul puts it this way, “Rejoice in the Lord alway.” Such joy becomes independent of out ward circumstances, and even of inward blessings. It rejoices in a certain and sure possession of the Blesser. It is the essence of the eternal joy of Heaven; it shares the pres ent ecstasy of the glorified beings around the throne. The mountain-stream joy of per sonal salvation and then the broad river-stream of joy in service has broadened into the final joy of the limitless Ocean. Because it is joy in God Himself it is necessarily “everlasting joy” for its Cause can never fail. It is the final victorious answer to all incompleteness of human and natural joy. earned $184,541; 530 farms earned $102,885 by participa ting in the Feed Grain Pro gram; 280 farms earned $58,884 through participation in the 1967 Wheat Program; and, 652 farms earned $516,551 by participating in the 1987 cotton program. ^ "Farmers like the commit tee system, as nearly as I can tell,” Chairman Fleming said. "It gives them a local voice^n setting yields, es tablishing allotments, setting up rates of cost-sharing on conservation work, and other important policy determina tions that protect farmers at the producer level of opera tion.’’ The ASC committee invites all farmers, farm groups, and others interested in agricul ture to take advantage of this pioeline to help bring new solutions and fresh approach es to ever-changing farm programs, rleming said. vades it. Much of the appar ent natural joy is a deliberate effort to drown care and wil fully intoxicate the soul Probably the purest form of natural joy is enjoyment of our work, and in many res- pects this is truly noble and ' balances with other banks, and satisfying.
