On Sal, At All NiwntanO U .a I I. i .1 COMMITTEE IS AMAZED AT THE STAT* FARM (Continued from flrtt page) " I s. fields of high upland oorn show. One rides actually for mllea on the wellkept roads which wind through these corn holds which produce, pprhapa, moro corn than the combined farms of some of the State's smaller oounties. One day last week members of the penitentiary committees of the Legislature were taken to the farms by the members of the State Penal Board, and their eyes were opened by this extraordinary?successful farming operation. Representative A. J. Hydrick, of Orangeburg, 4. man over six feet, stood lnva corn, row, reached as high as he could, ahd observed that the aHcendlng corn was producing two ears above the point to which his raised hands reached. That is the kind of corn they are producing here this year. Col. James 8. Wilson, superintendent of the penitentiary and responsible for the operation of the farms, proudly directed ' the legislators and the penal board members over" the farms. Ho pointed out that they are using 30 less laborers this year than last but are cultivating 400 more acres of laud. He stopped at one field of young corn, about five feet high, to observe that it had been planted only 34 days ago. The State has been operating farms for 52 years, always on .the acreage here. Farm No. 1, known as the De Saussure farm, has been In operation for 52 years, and farm No. 2, the Heed farm, has been State property for 49 years. Col. Wilson and members of the penal hoard believe It would pay tho Stato to have ovon more cultivated land. They would either purchase It or clear more of some of the land already owned, much of It swamp land that could be reclaimed by drainago and clearance. And it would appear that tho shcCCss of the farms' operations would warrant It. Wilson glvos considerable of his time to the farms, and pair of broths era are the resident superintendents, Capt. W. A* Rush, the elder, runs the Heed farm and Capt. Orover Rush the De Saussure farm. Wilson hit upon the idea of separate superintendent* in order that there could be a greater managerial concentration "H fftWlft units. One Rush has 1,500 aores ??;td the other, the identical acreage. And each tries to outproduce the other, a' development which Col. Wilson says has worked to the beideflt of the whqle thing. ' f , There are 66 mules and* only iwdtractors on these two huge farms. Each, at this time, has 107 prisonerlaborers. They work in details under guards, are well fed and well housed. At each farm is a brick barracks whore the men eat and sleep.

GOO PROVIDES FOR HIS \ PEOPLE LESSON.TJEXT- Kxodu* 16:11*16; IT:M. OOLDEtt TEXT?Give us this day our dally bread.?Matthew 6:11. Only God can provide the necessities of life. Rationing has taught us that lesson anew if we have been tH all thoughtful about it. The plan is one of snaring. Sharing what? The food and other provisions which come to us from God's hand. Unless our crops are good there wul ' be less to share. Only God can help us. , This was the lesson Israel learned in the wilderness. To reach the goal to which God was leading them * they must pass through the wilderness. Not only were there many J weary miles to travel, but there . were privations to be borne. Life Is like that. Now they cried for food. Note how elemental are man's needs in the .. final analysis?bread-and water. The very things we take almost for granted as we concern ourselves with life's weighty interests and profound problems become, if lacking, the only things that have any real meaning. And who is it that can provide them? No one but God Himself. I. Bread from Heaven (Exod. 16: 11-18). Israel's longing for meat was met by the miraculous coming of quantities of quail (v. 13). But that was not the food to sustain them day after day. For this they needed bread, and it came from heaven, 4 every day until they entered the promised land (Josh. 5:12). Observe four things about the manna. First, it was a divine provision. There are responsibilities in life which we may bear?and must bear ?but in the ultimate meeting of our real needs we must look to God. Secondly, it was a daily provision. What forehanded folk many of us aje, and no doubt rightly so, for God puts no premium on improvidence. But once again we must recognize, ng did Israel in receiv Irijf the d?ity m&ruia In the wilderness, that oura la indeed a moment by moment existence. We plan bravely for the next decade or the next generation, but as a matter of fact it can only come to paaa "if the Lord will" (read James 5:13-17). Next, it was a limited provisionenough for the day and no more, except for a double portion on the sixth duy, and none at all on thev Sabbath. These provisions were made plear to Israel, and yet there were those who attempted to lay up for the morrow, and some even went out to seek manna on the Sabbath day, We marvel at their stubborn obtuseness, but are we not often just like them. Some there are who are always expecting that the laws of both Qod and man should be set aside for them, but they come to grief* Finally, It called for diligence and action on their part. They had to be out early each day (except the Sabbath) to gather it. God'g mercies are for those who are willing to obey Him. He gives to those who receive by active faith. II. Water from the Rock (Exod. 17:3-8). "And the people thirsted"?for the daily manna was not, enough, they must have water. Needy, yes, constantly needy are God's children. "Every life knows the bite of necessity . . . every soul cries out in pain because there is wanting some completing favor, some culminating and all-contenting benediction. Here it is bread; there it is water; but everywhere a famine ... in many a case a famine of soul, a spiritual destitution, a^ consciousness of a void which time cannot satisfy or space content." God always provides. There is a rock in the wilderness. But what pleasure does a murmuring people find in a rock when they famish for water? It is God's delightful custom to meet our needs in unexpected ways and by means which we do not understand. Even our physical necessities come from unthought of sources. III. Christ, the Bread and Water of Life. Our lesson does not give the New Testament application of Israel's experiences, but let us not miss that blessed spiritual truth. In John 6:31-33, Christ is declared to be the true bread from heaven, of which the manna was but a type. Paul speaks in I Corinthians 10: 1-4 of this incident in the history of Israel, saying that they "did all eat the same spiritual meat, and did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ" (see also John 4:14). Hungry and thirsty soul, you who are still unsatisfied after tasting all that life apart from Christ has t? offer, will you not, just now, taks Him? The zebra-tailed lizard buries itself in the sand to sleep. THOMAS FRANK CLVSURN IS TRANRFRRRKD , o " - Houghton, Mich.. August t, 1943. ? Private Thomas Frauk Clyburn, 37, of Com den, 8.
