people, representing fifty different
ccuntr'es and that, in the two

A message from President Cool-

Its practical help is the best ex

McCORMICK. S. C.
An undesirable imm grant from
the We*st Indies, the Porto Rican
mode cricket, was brought into the
United States early in this century.
Since then it has spread and caused
serious damage to truck crops in thi?
coastal regions of Georgia and the
Carolinas, it has been ebserved in
Florida and Louisiana, and is spread
ing at the rate of about 25 miles a
year along the coast and to a lesser
extent toward the interior. The in
sect overwinters in the ground below
the frost level and mains its first
appearance neai< the surface in
March. It reaches maturity :n May
and June and shortly thereafter egg
laying takrs place. Hatching of the
eggs continues until August, and the
crickets carry on their destructive
activities from August to October,
damage during this period being the
most serious of the whole year. The
Porto Rican mole cricket can be con
trolled by a petsoned bait made of
the following: cottonseed meal, 100
pounds; rice flour, 100 pounds; cal
cium arsenate, 10 pounds; Molasses,,
1 gallon; water, 9 gallons. Mix the
cottonseed meal, rice flour, and pois
on and then add the water and mo
lasses slowly until a crumbly mash
is fcTmed. About 150 pounds of the
material, dry weight, will cover one
acre, the cost be'ng from $2 to $4
an acre for one treatment. Two ap
plications are usually sufficient to
control the cricket, although three or
more may sometimes be necessary to
effect complete control.

Grasshoppers attacking soy beans
may be destroyed by 'a common pois
on-bran bait. The species of grass
hoppers injurious to soy beans are
the same that attack alfalfa, ruch as
the red-legged, lesser migratc-Ty?
and d’fferential grasshoppers. They
are more likely to cause serious dam
age on soy beans in semiarid sec
tions, but during dry summers they
may multiply sufficiently to cause
serious injury wherever beans are j ol(] la(ly wllo had a
grown. A good bait may be made of! jenance. The reply was that God
within her. She was truly
through which it is acquired.
Tired Humanity. Pleasures of a
thousand varieties are held out before
weary humanity as things which will
stimulate tired brains and bodies. Mil
lions have learned, however, to their
sorrow that the joys of life are fleet
ing and elusive. Here the Psalmist
speaks about “the oil of gladness.”
\Vhich would not only refresh the sou!
but make the person attractive to !
those about him. There is an element |
of satisfaction and comfort suggested ;
Oil is tha symbol of grace and j
beauty. It was expected that the !
priest be attractive in appearance, j
and it was the ambition of those who |
served him to share this attractiveness.
This comparative degree of being
anointed with the “oil of gladness”
above his fellows was obtained, ac
cording to this text, by certain char
acteristics.
Lovers of Righteousness. In the
first place. He loved righteousness;
He was not simply drawn to it, nor
did he merely wish for it, hut he
loved it. It was the passion of his
life; he yearned for it. He extolled
its attractiveness. It was in his
thoughts day and night.
When one loves, everything will be
risked for the person loved. His de
sire will be to defend and protect that
loved one. Such was the ambition of
the person here described by the
Psalmist.
Haters of Wickedness. Now notice
the negative. He hated iniquity.
Mere is a condition, which will hear
scrutiny. Some are content with re
fraining from wickedness, but the
Psalmist here speaks of one who
hated wickedness. No wonder this
character was anointed with the oil of
gladness. Perfect love for righteous
ness and perfect hatred for wicked
ness! In such a heart could God find
lodgment. The divine Savior can
there take up His abode and shim*
forth through all the windows of tin*
soul. I am led to wonder whether
a careful examination of our own
souls would reveal a reason why we
may not be anointed with the oil of
gladness, let alone being anointed
above our fellows.
I know a man whom God once ques
tioned severely as to whether he real
ly loved righteousness; whether hi-
agitation for good things did not arise
sometimes from the prominence which
he received by so doing; whetliei
there was not a subtle longing some
times for the things which were nos
always commendable. Then God in
quired as to the character of his pur
pose of conquest against wickedness;
whether he went out of his way to
show his abhorence for evil; whether
when he was alone he would as ve
hemently subscribe to his antagonism
to evil. Here is the test of sincerity.
What are we when we are alone?

An Unfailing Formula. There is
only one to whom the Psalmist could
refer who might fit in exactly with
his description and that was the Lord
Jesus whose example and whose pur
pose is to share with us this beauti
ful spirit of blessing and attractive
ness. Any one who follows the prin
ciple slated in this brief portion of
the Psalm will shine and shed radi
ance and fragrance in proportion as
it is followed.

Than all the angels heaven can boast.
occasion for the beginning of this
work was a meeting of certain proph
ets and teachers at Antioch. While
these ministers were engaged In pray
ing the Lord laid upon their hearts so
heavily the evangelization of the
world that they refrained from eat
ing in order to seek the will of the
Lord in prayer. This is the kind of
fasting that nr 'ts God's approval.
I. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth
(vv. 2, 3).
The Spirit directed the church to
send forth Barnabas and Saul to the
work whereunto Lie had called them.
The Spirit called and the church sec
onded the motion by sending those
who were Spirit-called. A real call
lo missionary service comes from the
Holy Spirit. It should be the concern
of the church to constantly seek the
mind of the Spirit relative to the send
ing forth of laborers into the Lord’s
vineyard. It is to he noted that the
Spirit called and the church sent the
very best men from their company at
Antioch. This is as it should he. Suc
cess in the mission field is dependent
upon the laying of her best men and
women upon the altar by the church
II. Bsrnabas and Caul Preaching the
Word of God in Cyprus (vv. 4. f>).
After a second season of prayer amt
fasting the church formally ordained
these first foreign missionaries foi
their work. Ordination by the impo
sition of hands has its proper place.
Cyprus being the home of Barnabas
perhaps accounts for their first going
to this country. It is most natural
that those who have heard the good
news should go first to their kindred
and friends. Then, too. Barnabas was
acquainted with the country and peo
ple and could thus he assured of a
j proper hearing among them. Andrew
first went lo his brother, and the man
out of whom the ile.nons were cast
was commanded by Christ to go home
and tell what great things the Lord
had done for him (Luke !*:39).
III. Barnabas and Saul Withstood
by Elymas, the Sorcerer (vv. 0-12).
Sergius I’aulus, the deputy, invited
Barnabas and Saul to tell him of the
Word of God. Elymas maliciously
sought to turn the deputy’s mind from
the faith. This first obstacle encoun
tered, as the gospel was being carried
to the heathen world, was overcome
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I’aul denounced Elymas in most scath
ing terms, calling him the child of the
devil, declaring that he was full of
guile and villauy, pronouncing him the
enemy of ail righteousness, and accus
ing him of preverting the right ways
of Hie Lord.
IV. Paul and Barnabas in the Syn
agogus st Antioch in Pisidia (vv.
13-1G).
From Paphos I’aul and Barnabas
with Mark went northward to Perga.
It is from this place, perhaps because
of hardship, that Mark went back. He
started out with good intentions, but
the trials seemed too great for him to
endure. Mark redeemed himself later
though when they started on their sec
ond missionary journey Paul would
not consent for Mark to accompany
them, although he later testified in
Marie’s favor (H Tim. 4:11). From
Perga they went to Antioch in Pisidia
and entered the synagogue on the
Sabbath day. While he was the apos
tle to the Gentiles he began with the
Jews. After the usual reading of the
Scriptures, in response to the invita
tion of the rulers. Paul delivered his
first recorded sermon. This sermon is
worthy of careful sttxly. When an
alyzed we find it had four parts. 1.
Historical (vv. 17-23). 2. Political
(vv. 24-27). 3. Doctrinal (vv. 38, 3'.))
4. Practical (vv. 40. 41).
The effect of this sermon was that
many Jews and proselytes requested
to hear these words again. Almost
the whole city came to hear the Word
of God the next Sabbath. While many
came to hear these words jealouay
provoked open opposition.

Effect of Prayer
Prayer pulls the ’-ope below, and the
great hell rings above in the ears ol
God. Some scarcely stir the bell, foi
they pray so languidly; others give
but an occasional pluck at the rope;
but he who wins with heaven Is the
man who grasps the rope boldly, amt
>pulls continuously with all his might
—C. H. Spurgeon.
Take Heed
Wherefore take hoed of being paint
ed fire, wherein is no warmth; and
painted flowers, which retain no smell;
and of being painted trees, whereon Is
no fruit: “Whoso boasteth himself of
a false gift, Is like clouds and wind
without rain.”—John Bunyan.
