In order to get an intelligent grasp .of today’s lesson, one musLjet a view pf the entire epistle as to its purpose and method. The purpose was to es tablish all who were passing through’ suffering and testing (see ch. 1:7, 3:14, 4:12, 5:10-12). The principles of Christian behavior set forth in The text of this lesson are of broader scope than citizenship. They embrace: 1. Behavior as Pilgrims and So journers (vv. 11, 12). u Christians are merely sojourners on the earth. TMyTHive not here their | rates, permanent home bat are journeying through the earth on their way to the eternal home heavens.. 1 Our heavenly citizenship (Phil. 3:20) should constrain -ns to the mainte nance of conduct consistent with our high calling. L Abstain from fleshly lasts (v. 11). The term lusts Includes the entire army of unclean forces springing from onr carnal natures. They are enu merated in Gal; 5:10-21. These war against the .until. The Christian should not be under the sway of carnal pas sion. 2. Behavior as cltlgens (vv. 13-17). - While the Christian's, true citizen ship Is In heaven he has a responsibil ity as a citizen on the earth. 1. Obey all requirements of civil rulers (v. 13). • Fidelity to Christ Is shown by loy alty to civil authority. The Intelli gent Christian recognizes the neces sity of government and graciously submits to those In authority over Mm regardless of the form of government. His duties as a citizen he performs as the Lord’s free man—not through ser vile fear. Government even of a low order Is better than anarchy. 2. Honor all men (▼. 17). He wlH see In every man the image of God and therefore give honor to him. This applies to all relations wherein we touch human life. • 3. I.ove the brotherhood (v. 17). The Christian has a peculiar love for those who are of thd same house hold. The brotherhood Is composed of those who are children of God by faith in ^esus Christ. 4. Fear God (v. 17). 5. Honor the King (v. 17). This has a peculiar significance be cause ^n all probability the wicked Nero was then reigning as emperor. II. ^Behavior in a World of Opposi tion (I Peter 4:1-5). 1. Armed for the conflict (v. 1). Christians are engaged In a tre mendous conflict with evil forces with in and without. Satan and his angels are bent on the believer’s defeat and destruction. The only way to keep from being overcome with his darts is to arm oneself with the mind of Christ. «; 2. The salutary effect of suffering (v. 1). Suffering has a remedial effect upoa God’s children. The one who* suffers with Christ as an example wtlLJiave the consciousness that it is his Iden tity with Christ that calls forth the opposition of the world. 3. God’s will, the regulating force of his life (v. 2). * Not the lusts of the flesh, but the will of God is the directing force of his life. 4. The consciousness of a wasted life (v. 3). Since the flesh has so loug had sw’ay over the life, God is entitled to the rest of the believer’s energy. Look ing back upon a wasted life In serv ing the lusts of the flesh will move one to give no more time to serving "Such a master. 5. The attitude of the world to ward the one who separates himself from It (v. 4). The world'speaks evil of those who will not go its way. The world not only wonders at the life of the Clirls- tlan who separates himself from its pleastmi^ but wilt heap upon him nicknames sod reproach. 0. Account shall be given (v. 5). The Christian should so live as to be able to render an account to God. . V The hope of the farmer is in bet ter machinery and more intelligent use of it. It is hot alone the selling; price of a bushel vi wheat that counts bnt the amount of farm time and labor used to produce fch& bushef. A man working with pick and shovel could not attord to dig up and sort oat gold bearing gravel ^ if it paid him five dollars a ton average. But giant dredging ma chines in the Sacramento Valley are making millions working grav* el that pays less than twenty cents / a ton. * * * Edwin J. Clapp shows what machinery is doing and will do to help solve farm problems, and why United States farms can compete with European cheap labor, and even survive high railroad freight Danger of Small Wounds •,A. short while ago, a grocer In my town “scratched” his hand while taking goods from a box. Within a week he was dead, in spite of the efforts 'of three' good physicians to save him—Acute sep ticemia, the cause' of death. Small wounds are usually either incised or punctured, that is, either ‘cut” or “stab” wounds. The for- ~tner are easily treated—filled at once, with tincture of iodin$, br other reliable antiseptic. A small bottle of “Mcrcurochrome” is a good thing to keep in your medi cine-closet; it is one of the best germicides known and is painless when applied^- Its bright-red stain ruy disac ' that the United States tax on ciga reties jus The Joy of Christ O believer, the joy of Christ is with in yon; give It room, let it spring np within you like a well of living water, and yon will rejoice in the Lord al ways. and again rejoice.—G. H. CL McGregor. - " Praising God When yon find that s man has got to praising God it Is a good sign. Oh, let os get to personal love, to personal praise! Thst is what Is wanted in the church tods/.—D. L. Mood/. On American farms, one worker on the average produces twelve tons of cereal. In Europe one worker produces one and one-half tons. . * * • From 1910 to 1920, American farm population increased only four"per cent, while production of wheat increased fifty-eight per cent, corn thirty-five per cent, cot ton forty-seven per cent, cattle thirty-seven per cent, hogs sixty- five per cent. The farm problem is not to be solved, according to Mr. Clapp, by ‘‘keeping the boys on. the farm,” but by letting the boys go to the factories, using more machinery on farms and thus reducing cost of production. • * • “Light automobiles and trucks are being produced in greater vol ume than ever before. Such is the official report. There is only one »cloud on the automobile hori zon, and that’s an oil cloud. ^Reckless production and reck less price cutting in the oil indus try mean trouble ahead for motor owners. Oil iv being wasted, poured out -and squandered on sandy roads, wherever public of ficials can be persuaded to'buy it at public expense. ' • * • - Oil production is wastefuily man aged, prices sre low—but today’s low prices will be paid for with high prices later. —‘ The country needs a continuous oil and gasoline supply, at fair prices, which the Government should regulate. The nation now is acting like a drunken youth, squandering a rich inheritance. t • • Lindbergh has good ideas. An enthusiastic French lady intended to spend 150,000 francs for a cup to celebrate his flight. He accepted gratefully and asked that the 150,- 000 francs be spent instead on chil dren of French aviators wlio lost their lives promoting aviation. Lindbergh is a good representa tive of this country in Europe. • • • When Count Witte was in this country, representing Russia in the peace arrangements with Japan, he told this writer the national mon opoly of vodka, the Russian drink, forty per cent alcohol, and sixty per cent water, which he origi nated, gave a profit just big enough hr pay the cost of the Russian army. < * * ^ — - • It would interest Witte to know* is US'only disadvantage sp far as I know. I would even use kerosene, or turpentine, in case nothing bet ter was a! hand—the main thing being to act at once; infections set up quj^kly in warm weather. Punctured wounds should i ust about pays the tost of our army.>^Unclc Sam collected $227,000,000 inte^iTtonths this year from cigarette smo A full fiscal year’s cigarette tax wiU about pay all army costi>^ If Government could collect the . tax that the public pays to boot leggers it miftlit pay for ALL Gov ernment expenses. * * * Henry Ford last week watched his machinery grind out Ford car No. 15,000,000, and celebrated by- taking a ride in the first car he ever built. Old car No. 1 with its two cylinders was taken out of the Ford museum and driven by Henry Ford with car No. 15,000,000 driving beside it. A new Ford car, w r ith a differ ent gear shift, double the old Ford power and a speed of sixty miles an hour and more, will- be seen in the late Summer or early Fall. That will begin a new Ford fam ily. * * How much have 15,000,000 Ford cars meant in happiness t<» this country — through freedom of movement? How many BILLION miles have they traveled? neglected; they do not drain read ily, as cut wounds do. Good pro cedure is to make a wider wound— a cut wound—out of the puncture, then soak it in the antiseptic. Nail and tack wounds are typical of this class. Last week I had an unusual personal experience: Open ing an unused door at a public, building, I tore off a bit of the skin cJ one knuckle on a brass pro jection of the lock; I had absolute ly nothing with me in the way of emergency antiseptic, not being on a professional call; I thought of the matches in my pocket; dry ing the oozing blood, I < r _ quickly ap- . plied a blazing match! This stop ped the bleeding and sterilized the wound. I thought of my poor grocer friend, and sterilized this wound thoroughly with a flame. Painful, but a perfect result. I might have done worse under the circumstances. Never forget that time .is important in treating small wounds and as little of it to be wasted as possible.’ A Plant Curiosity. Walter Stepheraon, who farms for Dr. B. W. Sexton near Barnwell, brought two plant curiosities to town Saturday. One was an Irish potato through which a aprig of “joint grass” had grown and the other was two potatoes joined to gether with a sprig of grass. The potatoc* had not grown around th^ gras*, but the grass had grown through the potato. Mr. Stephenson states that in ai| his years of farm ing he had never seen anything just like it before. proportion and finish—luxu rious comfort for drivers and passengers.
