TKink* Feed Will Be
Scarce Next Spring
7 r ' . • ..
’ , "v
The spring and summer has been
unusuallly dry and largely because
of this fact the feed crop of this
county will be very short in many
cases. The corn, early as well as
late, was severely damaged by the
very dry weather. Because of the
above condition we should begin to
plan for some early spring feed.
The first one is oats and vetch or
rye and vetch, either of these to be
cut for hay when the oats are -in
mutton and just as the rye begins to
head. A good yield of good quality
hay can be made from either of the
above and the cost will he reasonable.
Fifteen to twenty pounds of vetch
should be sowed with one and a half
to two bushels of oats and three pecks
to one bushel of rye with the fifteen
to twenty pounds of vetch.
The second one is the crop of oats
planted by themselves and allowed
to grow and mature to be gathered
at that time. Such feed as can bo
made as oats in this way is very fine
and although it does not come as
early as the one above, one has the
value of the grain. Before the last
of October the abore crops should
be planted to make the best yields.
The preparation of the soil should
begin as soon as possible now so
when time to plant comes the soil
will he prepared. * All information
needed will be furnished by County
Agent’s office.—H. G. > Boyleston,
County Agent.

I. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to
Preach tho Word* in Asia <vvv4LKL- ——
The Inclination of 1‘nul uml bis com
panions was to tarry in the provinces
of Asia Minor preaching the Word,
but contrary to their inclination they
were hurried along. There were many’
people in Asia who yet needed tho
Gospel. They might have reasoned,
what difference would it make where
ijre preach so the Gospel is preached?
We have here a .fine lesson on Divine
guidance. The Holy Spirit Is as active
and faithful in closing doors as in
opening them. “The stops as well as
the steps .of- good-‘wcn are ordered
of the Lord.” We ought as truly to
recognize God’s hand in the “shut-ina”'
as in the “open-outs."
II. The Call to Macedonia (w. 9-12).
The Gospel having broken the con
fines of the Jewish city and country,
the middle wall of partition having
been abolished, the time has come for
it to leap across the Aegean sea and
begin its conquest on another, conti
nent. Christianity thus ceased to be
an oriental religion, and through the
cehturies has been mainly occidental.
1. The Vision (v. 9).
Being hemmed in on all sides, a
vision was given to Paul of a man
of Macedonia pleading for help. ’£hls
made plain, to him the closed doors
about him. In finding the Divine will
we should look both ways. Before
there can be any great forward move
ment, there mnst he a vision. There
la no victory without a vision.
2. The Advance (vv. 10-12.)
As soon as the Divine way was
known, they moved forward therein.
Visions must he quickly translated,
and aggressive action taken or else
they are blotted from our skies. Paul
never questioned the wisdom of God
nor delayed action. Tills is character
istic of all God’s true servants. With
a straight course. Paul moved out of
his own country to the.strategic center
of a new continent, g
HI. The First Convert in Europe
(vv. 13-15).
The missionaries first went to Phil
ippi and spent several days in
studying conditions there. The Jew
ish element In this city was com
paratively insignificant.' So much so
that they could not have a synagogue.
Therefore, the devout people were ac
customed to worship by the river side.
To thla humble gathering Paul came
and preached to the'women assembled
there. A certain woman from Thyutlra
named Lydia, a proselyte, believed his
message and was baptized. The steps
In Lydia’s conversion are worthy of
note, for they are typical:
t. Attendance at the Place of Wor
ship (r. 13).
Usually those whom God Is calling
are found at the pl?ce of prayer, Lydia
was a woman of' Wealth, culture and
wide experience, and yet she had need
of <’h ,, ist. Nile was seeking the
heavenly light. God sends many an in
quirer to the prayer meeting.
2. Listening to the Preaching of
the Word of God (vv. J3-14).
The instrument used in the conver
sion of sinners Is*' the Word of God.
“Faith cometh by .hearings and hear
ing by the Word of God” (Rom. 10:17),
It is highly important tbftf at every
prayer meeting the Word of God shall
be spoken-so that the inquirer after
God'may find the light.
3. Her Heart Was Opened by the
Lord (v. 14).
Only the Lord can convert a soul.
It Is our business to preach the Word
of God, and it Is God’s business to
open the heart of the inquirer. Re
generation is a supernatural* work.
When the Gospel Is preached the Spirit
of God opens the sinner’s heart for
th« reception of Christ.
4. She Was Baptized (v. 15).
Every one whose heart the Lord has
opened desires to confess Him In bap
tism. Baptism Is an outward sign of
inward grace.
5. Her Household Believed (v. 15.)
Real conversion cannot be concealed.
When one Js converted those In the
bouse will find It oat
f. Practical Hospitality (v. 15).
Those who have experienced God’s
MTinf grace are thus disposed to have
part 1ft His work by rendering aid to
His ministers.
