We ought to do the same when we suffer for Christ's sake. If we suffer because of our own sin or folly, we can claim no credit for bearing it patiently (v. 20). But when we have done well and then are persecuted, we have opportunity to show whether our profession of being followers of Christ really means anything. At this point some Christians lose their testimony and influence by a bitter, vengeful spirit. These are trying days for the souls of men. In many parts of the world Christians are forced to drink the bitter cup of persecution. To the glory of God we record the fact that they are doing it heroically and in a true Christian spirit.

Nelson, of the War Production Board, appealed today to farmers in pulpwood-producing \ states to make "an extra" effort to increase the pulpwood output. "If every one of the 3,800,000 farmers in the twenty-seven pulpproducing states were to devote three extra days in 1943 to cutting pulpwood we could overcome the threatened 2,500,000 cord shortage with wood to spare," Nelson said. Nelson urged all farmers to communicato with their nearest agriculture department representatives to find out whether they could help in producing pulpwood which is ^ the raw material for smokeless powder, ammunition containers, rayon and print paper. y- . v u * m. f>G?r*coarV* \#; I If Yon Hate Pulpwood To Offer Please Contact: I I L.
