PAGE Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. Intermediate Credit Bank Of Columbia Five Years Old Now TEXT—For I through the law died unto the law that I might live unto God.—Gal. 2:11). A few weeks ago the attention of the public was focused on Sing Sing prison, New York. A man and a woman who were charged with and convicted of a crime were taken to the electric chair, and there put to death. The justice of that act was ob vious. Except for w some sentimental ly Ists aD(1 a few would-be philoso- Rev. John C. Page, phers, it was be lieved that the crime merited the punishment given. In the newspaper reports that fol lowed the event, it was stated that the warden took the blue cards on which the judgment of both the crim inals was recorded and across the face of these cards, after judgment had been inflicted, he wrote the words, “DISCHARGED THROUGH EXECU TION.” This is the message of the text. “I through the law died unto the law.” “I have been crucified with Christ.” The law of God arrests the sinner and judges him to be worthy of death. “The wages of ski IS death.” From this judgment there is no appeal nor is there any escape. Physical, ju dicial and spiritual death are ines capable. Physical death needs no ex planation but judicial and spiritual death do. The meaning of judicial death will be understood from such a scripture as John 3:3G where we rend of the wrath of God abiding upon un believing sinners. Wrath is impend ing hut is not yet fallen. Sentence of deatli lias been pronounced by the Judge of all the earth, hut the sen tence lias not yet been executed. Then there is spiritual death which means separation from God. “Your sins have separated between you and your God ’’ All of this is involved in the words of Rom. G:23, “The wages of sin is death.” As sinners under sentence, the law apprehends us and shuts us up in the prison house of death. “The strength of sin is the law.” But wonder of wonders, a voice is heard saying: “Deliver him from going down into the pit, 1 have found a ransom.” “Who can ransom us from sin and death?” I ask. And the voice replies: “The Son of Man is come to give His life a ransom for many.” In the atoning sacrifice of the Cross the whole matter of sin and death is brought into court and forever settled. The law is vindi cated, not violated. Sin is judged, not excused. A death takes place. “Christ died for our sins.” In that death all true believers in Christ have a part In Him they die. In Him they are discharged through execution. A Christian is one who is united to Christ. One when He died, one when He rose. One when He triumphed o’er His foes, One when in heaven He took His seat And Heaven rejoiced o’er hell’s de feat. “I through the law died to the law.” The law condemned me to death and executed the sentence. I died. I have been crucified with Christ and am discharged through execution. This is a spiritual reality, not a pretense; a spiritual fact, not a figure. What Is historically true of Christ is repre sentatively true of all who are united to Him in the power of faith. “There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.” Let us now follow our text a bit further. “I through the law died unto the law that I might live unto God ” Christ died but He also rose again. So tlie apostle writes in the words of Rom. G:4 that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we, being raised in Him, should walk in newness of life. Our spiritual union with Christ begins with His death, but does not stop there. It includes union with Him in resurrection and newness of life. All the righteous requirements of the law having been met in death God quickens us with a new life in His Risen Son. “If any man be In Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all tilings are become pew.” Such a salvation as lids is worthy of the appellation, “great.” No won der that the inspired writer asks the question: “How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?” We cannot possibly escape the loss in volved in its neglect. Christian peo ple need to bestir themselves in mak ing such a salvation known unto the ends of the earth. Those who have not yet received riirist as Savior and Lord should come to Him immediate ly for in thus coming they become in corporated into Him. By union with Him in death they are discharged through execution from Hie penalty of broken law, and by union with Him in resurrection they walk in newness of life. Has Been Of Service To Thousands Of Farmers In I The Carolinas, Geor gia And Florida COLUMBIA, March 16.—The Fed eral Intermediate Credit Bank of Columbia, chartered five years ago + oday, has bee.i of service to more than 185,000 farmers i n the Caro lina v Georgia and Florida since it was established. This service rep resents leans to farmers’ co-opera- t.vo inarket ng associations dealing In tobacco and cottDn so they may carry out their program of oiderly market‘rg over a period of months rather than dump their p.oducts on the market at harvest time. It also represents loans re-discountcd | through agencies aggregating 85 in , number. To be specific. 64 agricul tural credit corporation and 25 i banks These loans are made by the I iocal institutions to farmers for ag ricultural purposes only and must run for rot less than six months.

Lesson for March 25 aggicgate loans will be increased materially within the next two months. Farmers borrow from these agricultural credit corpo.at'ons or from their local banks for all sorts of crop making purposes, to pay for labor, material, fertilizer and con tainers to ship the commodities grown in executing chattel mortgage over the crops to be grown, livestock are made: Lesson for January 1. John the Baptist came in fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy announcing the advent of the Messiah. The leading lesson is that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, as witnessed by John the Bap tist and the Voice from the open heavens. Lesson for January 8. Jesus taught with authority and demonstrated it by conquering demons, healing a fever, and cleansing a leper. Jesus Christ is able to save unto the uttermost, to deliver from all kinds of sickness and and farming implements.

Jesus freely vldual applicant’s financial condition, and the paper is endorsed by the ag ricultural credit corporation or local bank and re-discounted with the Co- lumb'a Bank. The mortgage over the growing crops is taken to insure collection at maturity, if a success ful crop year results. In some parts of the territoiy served crop insur ance is required by the agricultural credit corporation and offered as ad ditional collateral to the Columbia Bank. Local agene'es re-discounting these notes given by the farmers se- cuie the funds from the Intermed iate Credit Bank for 4 1-2 per cent and are permitted to charge the in dividual applicant not more than 2 per cent above the re-discount rate in effect at the time the loan is negotiated through the Columbia Bank. This Bank does not make loans d : iect to farmers. The closest it comes to such activities is to loan to the farmers’ own co-operative marketing associations. It has lent more than $35,00C|,000 to such asso ciations secured by warehouse re ceipts representing non-perishable commodities stored in Government licensed or acceptable waiehouses.! On such collateral the Associations gave Himself to the task of healing the diseases of the people and forgiv ing their sins, and the leading lesson Is that Jesus has not only power to heal the diseases of the body but to forgive sin. which is the cause of dis ease. Lesson for January 22. Jesus lived His life in conformity with God’s law. Conflict with the Jews over the matter of Christ’s disregard of their laws of fasting and the Sabbath was due either to their failure to understand God’s law or to its perversion. Hu man welfare can be realized only through conformity to God’s law. Lesson for January 29. With the increase of the fame of Jesus came 1 increase of opposition. In spite of the opposition by His enemies He con tinued His mighty works in casting out demons and ministering to those in need. Lescon for February 5. Jesus was misunderstood by His friends. His family and fellow townsmen, and vio lently opposed by the scribes and Pharisees. A spiritual nature is necessary in order to understand Christ. Lesson for February 12.

The method of review must always be determined by the genius of the teacher, the grade of the school, and the aptitude of the pupil. For the senior and adult classes perhaps the most profitable method will be to sum marize the facts of each lesson and to study the main teaching thereof.
