Outin, REVIEW Lesson for March 25th John 10:7-16 Golden Text: Isaiah 9:6 During this first quarter we studied some of the principal aodes in the life of Jesus, and have come to grips with basic emphasis In His teaching. Beginning with His birth and chUdhood, we con sidered His baptism and tempta tion, and saw Him launched into the varied phases of His dramatic ministry. We also read the Sermon <m the Mount, that sublime epi tome of His teaching. We listened to His testimony concerning His own power to heal, cheer, and com fort. And we learned lessons from His parables. This Sunday assigned for review affords an excellent opportunity fur taking stock. Suppose we ask, ■“Why is Jesus still indispensable? Why is He real today? . One answer is to be found in the timeliness of His glorious message. What is this message? It is sum med up in that splendid proclama tion He heralded at the beginning of His ministry, “The kingdom of God is at hand.” What is this kingdom? It is a realm over which a sovereign God presides. It is a commonwealth in which love and obedience, not fear and calculation, reign. It is a society in which the individual human soul has absolute value. It is a beloved community where spiritual purposes are su preme. And finally it is a brother hood whose inward spring is the living Person of Jesus. . * Another reason for the Master’s continued hold is His sureness of tread in the religious field. - He spoke with authority, as one long familiar with the truth He pro claimed. But a more important explana tion of Jesus’ attractiveness today is His constant companionshii> with God. As Dr. Henry Coffin says, Father and Son are united in con science, toil and endurance. The Master released His spirit so com pletely into the larger life of God that He became one with the Fa ther. And there can be no doubt that He found in God the resources He needed. * . * - , The Holy Bible," i- ^ which contains¥pur Gte«tlre«gixe» « * ♦ » • • • • rartmiiUr ®UAR I OR \ • '• t • • :>) !• T^E REIGN ' OF DAVtD ” fT V . .ft". Wl at a, romantic story Of .suc cess! The . simple shepherd lad, Davi 1, tending his sheep: ap4 Play ing his lute, ' receives, a sudden nunmons home. Saul, the king, vho is passionately fond, of riiusic, ias ient out a. Call for a' musician, me boy goes to court and by his nodesty and quick intelligence be- somes a favorite. The blustering Joiiath affords his courage a gold- sn opportunity; In a single hour m wins the gratitude of the nation *y killing Goliath with his sling in lattle, and with it the jealous ha zed of King Saul. 4t length Saul in battle defeat ias his own guards run him hrough and David ascends the hrone. With firm hand and states- nan-like vision he enforces order ivl^hin the kingdom and respect without. So successful are his cam paigns that he is able to establish v garrison in far-off Damascus and levy tribute on the Syrians, while Byram, the powerful King of Tyre, is glad to claim him as an ally and t friend. He is one 6f the realest characters in all literature. You can see his sturdy body and strong trat kindly face; you hear his tones snd feel his presence, for there is oo attempt to make him anything more than human. In fact his sin —the great blot on his kingly ca reer—is set forth in complete de tail. It is one of the famous illicit love-stories chid has been the theme of countless poems and plays. Walking one afternoon upon the roof of his palace David - saw, a beautiful woman in her bath. It was love at first sight. He sent immediately to inquire her name, and though it was told him that she was the wife of Uriah the Hit- tite, he took her into his harem. The act was made more heinous by the fact that Uriah was away, fighting his king’s battles at the front. After a period the girl, Bath- sheba, brought David , the uncom fortable news that she was with child., Then came the act of vil lainy. David conferred with Joab, his general, and arranged that Uriah should be sent into the very foremost rank at the next battle. Loyally the brave soldier fulfilled his orders and, as had been ex pected and hoped by the king, he was reported among the casualties. Bathsheba became the favorite of the palace and bore a famous son, Solomon, for whom she secured the succession through her influence over David. It is not a pretty story,-and the prophet Nathan, a rugged old preacher who feared nothing, did not allow the king to forget his sin. Until his dying day David was conscience-stricken. We are quite sure that many of the Psalms which are attributed to him must have been written by others, but we know that he did write this one, a bitter cry of repentance: “Ac cording unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my trans gressions.” . . .

H. Gooding, ex tension pouRfyman. He believes that there will not be the usual production of surplus supplies of chicks this year, because provisions in .the hatchery code make it in advisable for hatcherymen to have large surpluses. ' • In recent years, competition in the hatchery< business is said to have been so keen that many hatcheries have made it a practice to set more eggs than were neces sary to produce ^he number of chicks for which tney had orders. The result has been heavy over production, with very low prices, especially late in the season. Chicks can no longer be placed on the market by those who come under the hatchery code below the individual seller’s cost of produc tion. This provision is expected to prevent the production of heavy surpluses, because the chicks can not be “dumped” on the market at bargain prices. . Improvement in the quality of baby chicks is expected to follow the code ban on below-cost sales. Buyers would benefit from such improvement in breeding stock, it is pointed out. —x Spray Tr£es For High Quality Peaches Clemson CoHeae, March 17. — Since spraying^ peachy trees during spring and summer is essential to the production of high quality peaches, home orchardists and commercial peach growers are ad vised by W,C. Nettles, extension entomologist, to prepare at once to cpmbat tjie curculio or peach worm, and three destructive dis eases of peaches—brown rot, bac- teriosis, and scab. Four sprays with insecticides and fungicides combined are generally sufficient to control all four trou bles, t the schedule of applications suggested being: (I). ’^^Pfetal fail spray”; (2) “shuck split spray”; (3) two weeks after shucks drop, and (4) four weeks before variety begins to ripen. The materials needed are: (1) self-boiled lime-sulphur, or a pro prietary sulphur for brown rot and scab; (2) zinc sulphate for bacte- riosis; (3) arsenate of lead for cur culio, and (,4) hydrated lime to prevent lead arsenate from burning the delicate foliage of peaches. “Arsenate of lead will be need ed”, Mr. Nettles explains, “in all four sprays at the rate of one pound to 50 gallons of spray, to which four pounds of lime must be added; however, In applications when self-boiled lime-sulphur (8- 8-50) is used, the addition of lime is not necessary. The directions and precautions given by manu facturers of proprietary peach spray materials should be followed closely. “A sulphur preparation is nec essary in the third and fourth sprays and should be added to the second in case of a heavy infesta tion of brown rot during the pre vious year. Zinc sulphate may be added to the second, third and fourth sprays if bacteriosis was troublesome during the previous year. “Jarring, picking up drops and cultivation are valuable and eco nomical measures in curculio con trol, especially when outbreaks of the insect occur.” Why Liquid Laxatives Do You No Harm Federal Highway Jobs Provide Work For Many In The State Columbia, March 17.—More than 5,000 skilled and unskilled work men and 300 engineers have jobs in this State as a result of the national recovery road building program. In announcing these approxi mate figures, Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway commissioner, said the federally financed program was gathering impetus with the advent of warmer weather and 1 would reach its peak by late spring or early summer. The work began late last sum mer and fall. To date, around $3,450,000 of the $5,500,000 allotted the State has been let to contract. Plans are being drafted by the highway department to award the rest of the work as early as possi ble. The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be ■ regulated to Suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement, and with no discomfort at the time, or afterward. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is Dr. Caldwell’s' Syrup Pepsin, a prescription. It is perfectly safe. Its laxative action is based on senna—a natural laxative. The bowels will not become depend ent on this form of help, as they may do in the case of cathartics contain ing mineral drugs.
