The Army had gathered two tallies j in the opening half of the lultial I frame and after the Merchants tied (hp count in the sume inning, proceeded to take the cork out of the hottlo of Hwut liniment and bit by bit ! forged ahead until they climaxed the evening program with a four run Mpiurgu in the seventh. The game wuh played in the face of a gathering storm, which cut visibility on the battle ground considerably, especially in the fiual round. The famous anthem, '"Hie Heavens Are Telling" hud nothing on the climatic background Dame Nature dished up for the final stages of the evening frolic. Vivid lightning and the rumble of thunder had the spectators moving uneasily in their seats, but loath to miss any part of the diamond action. Outside of Adamskl's slow motion act in the opening round the play of the 64th delegation was free of bobbles, while the Merchants checked in with three.

Exodu* 13:17-23; 1817]2i. ' GOLDEN TEXT?-The Lord U my xtrcnath nd tong. and ha l? become my aalvatlon.? Exodut 18:2. The destinies of the hations are In the hands of God. Warriors are mighty in battle, counselors are quick to declare their wisdom, and diplomats are clever in the manipulation of wealth and people. But when they huve all exercised to the limit their ingenuity and power they have only succeeded in bringing us "blood, sweat and tears" as the portion of all mankind. Israel was about to be delivered from the bondage of Egypt, and God I through His, leader Moses was ready . to be their guide. Even so He guides I every believer in Christ. We may , learn three things from this lesson, I. God Has a Plan (Exod. 13: 17-19). There was a direct, easy road along the coast of the Mediterranean up to Canaan, but God with His pillar of cloud and Are did not lead out in that way. How strange that He should take them by a longer, more difficult way! Not at all. He knew the danger of the easy way. It was there that the warlike Philistines would be lying In ambush. Such immediate conflict would discourage Israel and tempt them return to the fleshpots of Egypt. So He took them the other way. Note that God's guidance for thero was one of intelligent planning, not just impulse or chance. He kney< , what to do, and He did it, for their good. God has a plan, not only for the nations, but also for individuals, for your life and mine. Let us find His i will for us, for it is good, acceptable 1 i and perfect (Rom. 12:1, 2). Note the honoring of the faith of ; Joseph in God's promise (v. 19). The memory of his assurance was a blessing to his descendants, and they honored it and him. What wnl our descendants have to say about our faith in God? II. God Provides Guidance (Exod. 13:20-22). God's plan is made known to His people as they follow Him step by step. This means that there must be guidance, moment by momenti, if His plan is to be worked out. He gives such guidance and it is only when His children fail to follow it that the pattern of life becomes confused. The field of divine guidance is .one in which Christians have widely divergent experiences. Some know the sweet, unconfuscd daily experience "of God's band upon them, caring for even the minor details (or are they minor?) of life. Others have known the directive power of God in some life crisis, but not in the ordinary affairs of life. Many, and perhaps most, think of.diyinfr.guidance as a. s p frTfu aT'fRe ofy "of "wh 1 ^hTKe 'preacher talks, but know nothing of it in their own lives. What makes this great difference? Faith?or the lack of it. Those who trust God accept and receive His blessed leadership moment by moment. It is as simple as that. Others reach out and take it when the pressure of life makes them cast themselves on God. Others sirrffcly muddle along "doing their best," which is not their best, for God is not in it. The pillar of cloud, which became luminous at night, was ideal for the guidance of Israel. It provided shade by day from the hot sun, and a sure guide in the darkness of the night. III. God Gives Joyous Victory (Exod. 15:17-22a). Israel soon came against the insurmountable barrier (humanly speaking) of the Red sea. Then Pharaoh, regretting that he had released them, came up after them? an impossible situation, and the people began to berate Moses. This time he stood fast in his faith and said: "Stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah"?and it- earned Then followed the sopg of victorious joy, which Moses wrote and the people sang. Deliverance brings joy, and forget it not, God is able to deliver those who put their trust in Him. The application to our spiritual lives is a blessed one. Setting out on God's way does not mean that one will not have trials. They come, and quickly. We do not get farther than our Red sea when the world sees an opportunity to draw us back and comes charging at us from the rear, like Pharaoh. What to do? Trust God, and He will drown the Pharaoh who pursues you in the very Red sea which is now your difficulty. He will bring you through dryshod if you count on Him. Fearful, fretting, fussing Christian, why not "stand still" and let God work out your salvation. You cannot bear the burdens of all the world. He can, and will set you free so that you too may go forward for Him. N Soil Conservation News (By V. T. Mullen Forty (armors and farm workers from Kershaw county and surrounding counties met at Mulberry Plantation last Friday for a kudzu cutting, handling, und hulling demonstration. Among those present were H. A. Woodle aud K. 0. Turner of the Clemson extension staff, and Krnest Carnes, State conservationist of the Soil Conservation service. Mr. Woodle and Mr. Turner discussed briefly the ''Utilization of Kudzu" aud the "Vaiue of Cood Qualhy Hay." Mr. Carnes discussed "The Place of Perenlals in the Farm Program." K. 8. Tupper, manager of Mulberry Plantation, stated that this field of kudzu, which contains approximately 75 acres, was planted in the spring of 1934, The field was idle, growlug in broom sedge, etc., and was considered one of the poorest fields In Kershaw county, prior to planting kudzu. The first cutting of hay was obtained in 1937 and two cuttings have been obtained each year thereafter. Mr. Tupper sayH that ''Mulberry Plantation depends altogether on kudzu for hay, and it is the cheapest hay that wo can produce." Kudzu Is a deep-rooted purenial, which enables it to withstand summer droughts. It has a high protein content and Is a valuable grazing plant for cattle, hogs, and poultry. It has proven very beneficial as an erosion coptrol plant, due to (tie extensive root system and thick layer of organic matter left on the surface of the soil after mowing.
