The Fight Is On!
There is a little story, “How Mary
Got a New Dress,” in a primary
reader, that teaches a wonderful les
ion in co-operation. Mary needs a
new winter dress. The sheep gives
his, wool and asks, “who else will
help?” The shearers answered that
# I
they will shear the wool , and ask,
“who else will help?” The cai&ers,
spinners, weavers, dyers each in turn
do their part and ask, “who else will
help?” For Mary’s dress is not yet
made.
Your organizer has visited school
districts all over the country in an
effort to locate schools and place
teachers wherevter needefi. Your
Superintendent of Education has been
interested and active, school superin
tendents have been nelpful, sympa
thetic and co-operative, and teachers
have expressed a desire to do their
share. Trustees, too, have signified
thir willingness to lend a hand—a
trustee in one district being so zeal
ous as to offer himself and car as a
means of transportation for pupils.
Preachers have kindly made an
nouncements and have brought the
campaign before their congregations
in other ways. One esteemed and
bupy pastor has taken time to write
a gracious letter ending with a rever
ent, “God bless the work.” No mem
ber of committee has been a slacker.
Last* but not least, editors have been
courteous and obliging, giving space
for ^articles concerning the work.
One magnanimous editor agreed to
give free copies of his paper to adult
schools, thereby aiding in a very
material way.
In the face of all these encourag
ing things we are confronted by the
fact that the enrollment in our night
schools so far, is far from what it
should be.
The taskj is a hard one, but the
satisfaction which comes from ac
complishing a hard task is well worth
the effort.

Poor Soils Mean
~ Low Yields
Low Yields Mean LESS Money for
Farmers, Merchants and Bankers
*
The average yield of cotton for Barnwell County is
about 140 pounds of lint cotton per acre. The average
yield of corn is about 14 bushels per acre.
Farmers in Barnwell County who.are building up
their soils with legume crops, such as peas and beans as
summer crops, and vetch and Austrian peas as winter
crops, and are using plenty of the right kind of fertilizer,
are making nearly a bale of cotton per acre and above
thirty bushels of corn per acre.
Failure to use enough of the right kind of Fertilizer
is FALE economy.— It is equivalent to FAILURE.

PUTTING GOD'S KINGDOM FIRST
LESSON TEXT—-Matthew l:l-S4
(Print vv. l-ll, 19-SI, S1-1I).
GOLDEN TEXT—8«ak ye first the
kingdom of God, and Hie righteous-
neas; and all these things shall be
added unto you.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Being True U
Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Being Loyal to
Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Being Loyal to Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Putting First Things First.
Having set forth In tha previous
chapter the standard! of the kingdom,
Jesus now exhibits the underlying
principles which control the eubjects
of the kingdom.
I. As to Giving (w. 1-4).
Alma were not to be given before
men to be seen of them. Doing alms
before men is not condemned as that
would contradict Matthew 5:16, but
the doing of them before men to be
seen of them. To seek pnbUeity in
doing onr elms Is to miss the reward
of onr heavenly Father. The true
child of the kingdom will seek privacy
in doing righteousness, that be may
have the open reward of the Father.
II. As to Praying (w. 5-15).
1. False prayer (vv. 5, 7).
This consists in (1) Praying to be
seen and heard of men (v. 5). Many
of the prayera uttered In public are
false, for there is more thought of
whet the people think than of whet
God thinks. (2) Using vain repeti
tions (v. 7). This does not mean that
we should ask hut once for e given
thing. We have examples of Christ
and Paul praying three times for the
same thing (Matt. 26:39-46; II Cor.
12:7, 8). It means the using of mean
ingless repetitions. The reason Is,
"Your Father knoweth what things
ye have need of before ye ask Him."
2. True prayer (v. 6).
Since prayer Is a transaction of the
goal with God, there should be a real
desire for fellowship with Him which
moves one to meet Him In the secret
place.
3. The model prayer (vv. 9-15).
This Involves (1) Right relationship
—"Our Father" (v. 9). (2) Right at
titude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv.
9,10). (3) Right spirit—"Give ns our
dally bread, forgive us our sins, lead
ua not Into temptation" (vv. 11-13).
III. As to Fasting (vv. 16-18).
The true reason for fasting Is to be
found In the opportunity It gives for
a clear vision of God. Those who
have thus seen God will make it mani
fest In a joyful countenance.
IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv.
19v24).
The Lord knew the temptations
which would befall His children to
their earthly pilgrimage and the
anxiety to which It would lead; there
fore He set forth the proper attitude
toward them.
L The nature of earthly riches
(w. 19-21).
(1) Uncertain (vv. 19, 20). Earthly
treasures corrode, or are taken from
us, therefore we should lay up for
ourselves treasures in heaven where
they are absolutely safe from corrup
tion and from thieves. (2) Seductive
(v. 21). Christ called riches deceit
ful (Matt. 13:22). It is not wrong to
possess earthly treasures, but when
earthly treasures possess us, they be*
come a snare unto us. • Excessive at
tention should not be given to earthly
treasures.
2. The effect of earthly riches
(vv. 22-24).
(1) Blunt the moral and spiritual
perceptions (vv. 22, 23). Those who
become enamored of the things of this
world soon become irresponsive to
spiritual things. When the heart Is
upon earthly treasures, it Is taken
from God. The double eye is dis
astrous to spirituality. (2) They ren
der null and void all service (v. 24).
As soon as one's heart is stolen by
riches, he is rendered unfit for spir
itual service.
V. As to Faith In the Heavenly Fa
ther (vv. 25-34).
L Be not anxious about food and
clothing (vv. 25-34).
Because (1) It shows distrust
of God (v. 30). God Is able to supply
His children’s needs. (2) It is use
less (v. 31). Anxiety can bring noth
ing. While bringing ns nothing, it
weakens our service. (3) It Is
heathenisb (▼. 82). Those who have
not learned to trust God may worry
over temporal affairs, but those who
know Him as a loving Father, will be
free from care.
2. Be anxious to seek the kingdom
of God and serve Him (vv. 33. 34).
This means that worldly affairs
should be subordinated to spiritual
affairs. ^
