The Christian And The Lord’s
Supper.
Lesson For December 16th.
1 Cor. 11:23-34.
Golden Text: 1 Cor. 11:26.
• The Lord’s Supper is a pledge of
loyaTtv. We call it a sacrament, a
■word derived from the Latin “sac-
jrlal. “This do,” said Jesus, “in re
membrance of Me.” We remember
i '•he Master when we gather about
| His Table. Especially, as our Gold-
! en Text reminds us, do we recollect
His death on the Cross. “Greater
| ove hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for hi c
friends.” Ten years ago two young
Englishmen, Mallory and Irvine,
lost their lives in a heroic attempt
to reach the summit of Mt. Everest,

Holy Communion is such an oath.
When one participates in this feast
of love he says in his heart: “I
am for Jesus. I dedicate myself,
my all to Him.” Thus the Lord’s
Table is the occasion for a solemn
rite of consecration.
Then, too, this holy meal is an
act of thanksgiving. It is some
times called the. Eucharist which,
in the original Greek, means “a
•giving of thanks.” At the Lord’s
die, and golden is their memory.
For they “were lovely and pleasant
in their lives, and in their death
they were not divided.” But Jesus’
achievement is still more magnifir
cent. For He gave His life not to
capture a mountain, but that men
might forever know the meaning of
goodness, and thereafter live the
kind, of life God meant them to
live.
Finally, the Communion symbol-

tion violations reported from our
cities, and It is responsible for
thousands of accidents every year.
Apparently, impatient drivers can
not visualize in advance the result
which ensues when two moving
cars try to occupy the same space
at the same moment. One of these
cars, of course, is properly proceed
ing with the green ligtit, and the
other, as shown in fhe diagram, is
a member of the Take-A-Chance
Club. The driver thinks he can get
across, but he doesn't, and it is
another intersection accident.
Street intersections and country
crossroads continue to be bad ac
cident trass for motorists and pe
claimed last year one person in
every five killed and 45 per cent of
those injured. The complete toll at
Intersections, according to the Na
tional Bureau of Casualty and Sure
ty Underwriters, was 326.050 acci
dents, 6,330 fatalities and 378.300
injuries.
Good drivers slow down for every
intersection whether it is controlled
by a traffic signaf, a unitormed of
ficer. or is just an unguarded stop.
They do this in order to be pre
pared lor unforeseen emergencies.
A good driver never tries to beat th>j

Cotton Program Helps
Make Better Business
.... L- ... • YC.
Southern farmers’ cash income
from marketing of cotton and cot
ton seed during the first nine
months of 1934 was 27 per cent
higher than in the cprresponding
period of last year and 44 per cent
higher than the first nine months
of 1932. When cental and bene
fit payments are added to the cash
sales value, the increased income is
36 per cent over the 1933 period
and. 80 per cent over 1932. Rental
and benefit payments to cotton
producers co-operating in the ad
justment program totaled $171,500,-
000 through November 1, 1934.
Marked improvement in genera!
business conditions which has ac
companied these increases in in
come of cotton farmers indicates
the importance of the cotton pro
duction adjustment program as one
of the recovery measures that have
brought a vast improvement in
conditions throughout the South.
“While farmers have been en
joying the improvement brought
about by the cotton program”,
says Cully A. Cobb, chief of the
AAA cotton section, “there have
been fewer business failures and
increases in bank deposits, retsvi
sales, construction, and life insur
ance sales. Bank deposits in
eight cotton states in tow r ns and
cities under 15,000 population were
$311,000,000 in September 1934 a;
compared with $243,000,000 in Sep
tember 1933. Southern construc
tion awards in the first 10 month;
of 1934 showed a 57 per cent in
crease over the same period ir

tion”, Mr. Nettles continues. “While
the trend towards oil sprays has
been greater among apple growers
than among peach growers, there
are growers in each group who are
very enthusiastic over the results
obtained with oil sprays.”
The main point in favor of lime
sulfur, according to the specialist,
is that it is practically “fool
proof”, since Injury to trees from
lime-sulfur can scarcely result
from the mistakes of inexperienced
labor. On the other hand, in the
use of oil emulsions the operator
must be careful to keep the oil
emulsified. Otherwise, free oil will
float to the top and the last ma
terial sprayed from a tank, will be
almost entirely pure oil, which
damages buds severely.
Many commercial peach and ap
ple growers may change from lime-
sulfur to ofl emulsion sprays to ad
vantage, but home orchardists and
large growers who do not person
ally supervise spraying operations
may prefer to continue use of lime
sulfur. - ‘ * t
Demonstrations on, the prepara
tion of oil emulsions will be held
in dii apple and peach growing
counties where the growers are in
terested. One will be held in Spar
tanburg county at Claude Bishop’s
orchard near Inman December 5,
and another in York county at a
date to be announced. County
agents will arrange other demon
strations at. centrally located or
chards upon request of growers.

November retail sales in the
United States by the Chevrolet Mo
tor Company, totaling 50,819 units,
were the largest for that month
since 1926 and were exceeded by

all of its assembly plants and car

record for the month of November
in the entire history of the com
pany.

tion for th6 domestic market, the

ing produced for the growing ex
