Informal meetings of bankers and leading farmers of various communi ties should be held frequently in order to obtain each others point of view and cooperation in solving farm prob lems, especially farm credit and marketing. These meetings will be mutually profitable and will d r & w the farmers and bankers closer together. The Banker should encourage legiti mate agricultural developments by making loans to farmers for farm improvements and purchase of pure bred or high grade cattle, hogs and poultry, where the farmer is worthy of the credit. The banker will find the County Agent and Home Econo mics Agent anxious to cooperate with them. If diversification is successfully carried out the banker and business men must cooperate with the farmers and Extension Forces. Farming in the old way is unsafe; any one who continues to follow it will eventually become financially embarrassed. Growing a crop continually on bor rowed capital is unsafe and the sooner the farmer realizes that if he will operate his farm through a monthly income and make hia cash crop a surplus crop, the sooner will prosperi ty come to him. “Economic Law is Like the Tide, Swim With it and You Get Ahead in the World, Swim Against it, and Soon or Late it Will Carry You on the Rocks.” In closing these few remarks, let me repeat my familiar lines, which my friends say have become a hobby with me: “I Believe That When We Have Pigs, Poultry and Dairy Cow s on Every Farm,. Raising Food and Feed, Selling Milk, Cream, Chick ens and Eggs, and Raising More and Better (Cash) Crops on Less Acres, We Will Have a New and j Better Day for the Farmer.

Think of the different view of the universe and its regula tion taken by people now and those that lived before Corper- nicus and Gallileo. When David wrote, "When I consider thy heavens, the sun, moon and stars that thou hast made, what is man that thou art mindful of him?” how much smaller a conception of both the universe and man he had from ^what we have now! It must have a humbling effect upon every thinker to re flect upon the vastness of the universe and the smallness of the speck upon which we live. AH of these discoveries may but in crease our awe and reverence for Him who made the universe, bat they alter our notion as to how He did this. Victor Hugo, in his "Intellectual Autobiography,” wrote: “The locomotive travels fifteen leagues an hour. The hur ricane travels sixty leagues an hour. The cannon ball travels seven hundreds leagues an hour. The locomative drags, the hurricane limps, the cannon bqll is a tortoise. “Let us bestride a ray of light. This is to mount 4,000 times faster than the cannon ball, 4,200,000 times swifter than the hurricane, and 17,000,000 times swifter than the locomotive. It makes as you know, 70,000 leagues a second. "Start Light launches you from the Earth to the Sun in eight minutes, from the Sun to Oceanus in four hours, from Oceanus to Centarus in three years and eight months, from Centaums to the pole star in twenty-eight years, and from the pole star to the Milky Way in 168,000 years, and from the Milky Way to the nebula of Canes Venatici in 5,000,000 years. You have not taken a step. The apparitions of the universe will continue to loom. Beyond the visible the invisible, be- young the invisible, the unknown.” HORSES! - We have on hand a stable full of used Mules and Horses. Will sell cheap for cash. Terms offered to the right men.

Samuel D. Price, DJ). If the enti *e*time is given to the Christmas Lesson the closing subject in the Life of Paul should be considered ih connection with the Review next Sunday. After about two years Paul was released from the first Roman impri sonment. It may have been because the accusers in Jerusalem, knowing what a poor case they would have in the Emperor's court, decided not to appear against the man they had already heckled for two years during his confine ment in Caesarea. From I Timothy and Titus, which were written during the free time, and from traditions that are well established it appears that Paul did considerable journeying, going as far east as Spain and westward to Asia Minor again. Then came the second arrest, probably in the region of Macedonia. On reaching Rome the prisoner was placed in the Mamer- tine prison. The traveler is shown a reputed cell close to the Forum. It is underground, dark and cold. Tradiation says that Paul went Home as the sword of the executioner severed the head somewhere on the Ostian Bay, about three miles outside of Rome.

It was while shepherds were caring for their flocks justmutside Bethlehem that the most glorious song of all time had its first rendition for their benefit. The recitative was given by an angel who bade them “Fear not” and supported the command by announcing that the night of waiting for the promised Messiah was over, for their Saviour had been born in Bethlehem. Instead of a Deliverer who would come forth in fullness of strength they would find a Babe, who was the Christ Child. Meanwhile the fields were all radiant with a Shekinah glory. Then the heavenly choir burst forth into the “Gloria in Excelsis.” They begsui hy.praising “God in the highest,” which is always the right way of approaching the Throne. The Pronouncement was a declaration of “peace on earth; good will to men.” Though He was King of Kings He came to establish peace, first between man and the Father, and then between all mankind. Wisely the shepherds, as by common agreement said “Let us go to found,. The Right Way to Travel Is By Train The Safest, the Most Comfortable and Reliable, Costs Less.
