inspire our lives. We are living
in troublous times, and those of
little faith are crying aloud that
the old truths have failed, the old
beliefs are dead. But even as they
scoff, Spring brings her perennial
symbols of the eternal life. And
this coming Easter Sunday millions
upon millions of believers will meet
to testify anew to the truth that
their faith is a living faith, that
it still rules the hearts of men.

Sunday School Lesson
A Thought For Easter BY REV * charles e. dunn
From the beginning of time,
men have hailed the coming of
Spring as the resurrection of the
earth from the death of Winter.
Long before the Christian Era be
gan, every religious cult celebrated
in one way or another the return
ing season of growth and sunshine,
with its promise of life beyond the
grave. If the dead trees and grass
es could so demonstrate immor
tality, wl^y should man alone die
to rise no more?
In a few days the whole Chris
tian world will join in testifying,
on Easter Sunday, to its faith that
death is not the end, that life goes
on forever, in new and unknown
but more glorious forms, that we
earthbound plodders can no more
imagine than can the maple tree
or the wistaria, shedding its scar- j
let robe of Autumn under the kill
ing breath of Winter’s frosts,
imagine the glory of the Spring
time garments of green w,hich it
will wear in its new life.
The belief that this is true, that
there is a life beyond death, a life
of release from toil and sorrow for
ouch as.truly believe and strive to
live up to their belief has been the
most powerful force in the history
of our modem civilization. In this
faith men have found a common
tie of mutual service for the com
mon good. All of the concepts of
duty, honor,. self-denial, self-re
spect and loyalty upon which great
nations have been founded derive
from the faith which is the very
root and heart of Christianity.
Let no one say that the faith
of our fathers is outmoded, that
it no longer has its old power to
Jesus Triumphs Over Death.
Lesson for April 121h.
Luke 24:1-12.
Golden Text: John 11:19.
The message of Easter is two
fold. It tells us, first of all, that
Christ is alive. It is a triumphant
witness to a living Master. What
actually happened on the day of
resurrection will perhaps never be
fully understood. It is enough te
know that Jesus could not be
crushed by the bars of death.
But what is meant by the living
Christ? Primarily we mean the per
sonal pressure or pull of the Mas
ter’s soul upon our own spirits. The
two disciples felt this in their walk
to Emmaus. “Were not our hearts
burning within us,” they said,
“while he talked to us on the way?”
But such experiences of inner rap
ture are rare. Most of us find the
living Lord more often in the outer,
positive expression of Christian
ideals which, despite the acute
sickness of our present society, are
more widespread and compelling
than ever before.
We must never forget, in the
midst of our anxiety, that there
are great forces laboring in the
world today on behalf of good-will.
One of the most important of these
is the Christian church.
But there is a second truth in the
Easter message. Not only is Christ
alive, but those who served him,
and died sharing his faith and pur-

Foremost Highflyer, 1935 Grand Champion Jersey Bull.
Olined by A. H. Goss, The Oaklands, Ann Arbor, Mich.
T HERE ARE PLENTY of Jersey bulls in America, but only one
among all the thousands, stands out as National Champion.
Foremost Highflyer won 1935 honors at the National Dairy
Show, St. Louis, Mo.—a magnificent creature to which Nature
gave the vital spark, the perfect natural balance of all the elements
that go to make a champion. Wonderful top line, great body,
fine neck, shoulders, big barreled, good on his legs—Foremost
Highflyer had everything!
Most bulls are just bulls, average strong, average good, but just
plain ordinary bulls. There is only one Foremost Highflyer. He
stands out the King of them all—the champion.
The champion bull is Nature at her best—one of Nature’s
wonder creations. Favored by Nature, with her priceless gift of
perfect natural balance, the champion is almost beyond price,
while another bull that may look a little like him—well, he’s just
bull, that’s all.
And here is another wonder-creation of Nature—Natural
Chilean Nitrate. Like the champion bull, Natural Chilean is
favored by Nature with that priceless gift of natural balance—
natural blend of many elements such as boron, calcium,
manganese, etc., over and above its nitrogen. Nature gave the vital
spark to this nitrogen fertilizer by blending into it these vital
impurities. Nature herself aged it, cured it . . . that’s why Natural
Chilean is the natural food for your crops.
•
*
Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major
and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, manga-
nesej iodine; calcium, potassium, etc.—each a vital ele
ment in growth and healthy development of plants.

pose, are alive also. To be sure, the
present whereabouts and activities
of the blessed dead are a mystery
hidden from us. But no reasonable
person can long hold to the convic
tion that the accident we call death
results in the blackness of anni
hilation. Goethe once said that a
man who does not believe in a
future existence is dead already
in this present life. Just before he
died Dr. Wilbur Bell, that radiant
scholar, sent this message to his
students: “I can see now that death
is just the smallest thing. There’s
no real break-God is there—and
life—and all that really counts in
life—goes on!” How beautiful!
What a wonderful confession of
faith!

Resettlement Benefit
To McCormiek
County

OT SODA
W||H VITAL Mrouras Of HATOan OWN BALANCE AND BLEND
The Rural Resettlement Division
'of the Resettlement Administration
has come to the rescue of the
farm families who were not able
to get aid from other sources
and has given assistance to them
by advancing funds for the pur
chase of fertilizer, stock, farm im
plements and subsistence.
| It is a loan agency developed to
aid farmers who have been caught
( within the tangles of the economic
J depression. The leans are made at
five per cent interest and are se
cured by recorded mortgages held
over capital goods, crop and stock.
The family is given a reasonable
period of time to repay and at the
close of the first year a fair per
centage is repaid.
The Resettlement Administration
is not a relief organization, for the
families repay all they borrow. In
order to keep the loan within the
means the farmer to repay, the
County and farm supervisors care
fully study and work out with the
man and his wife a farm plan in
which the supervisor studies the
mar* and his family as well as the
farm, what it produces, number
acres, etc.
During 1935 McCormick County
lead 169 families deriving benefit
from the program. All the families
were furnished with sufficient
capital goods and supplies for the
farming operation. For the year
1936, 170 families have been ap
proved to date for sufficient sup
plies for farm and family needs.
191 mules, 45 milch cows, some beef
cows, chickens, pigs, etc., were pur
chased since 1934 for family and
farm needs.
The Resettlement families are
under close supervision of farm and
home supervisors. The farm super
visor makes periodic visits to the
families for the purpose of j>lah-
ning wilh them the orooei 1 method"
of production and management.
He advises to the best of his ability
as to the soil conservation, fer
tilizer, rotation of crops, garden
ing, etc., thus encouraging the
families to practice the live-at-
home program. He tries to impress
each family to strive for honest
payment of debts. E. Hanvey is
Farm Supervisor in McCormick
County.
The farm home is supervised by
, the home supervisor. She visits
the home regularly and works out
with the wife a convenient home
living plan giving the wife a broad-
| er perspective on her home life.
She assists the wife in planning
■ and carrying out the family bud-
! get for clothing, household equip
ment, food conservation, gardening,
canning, poultry and pig raising,
etc.
She tries to create on the part
of the family a sense of responsi
bility for its own problems and a
desire to become self sustaining.
She tries to develop interest be
tween the farm family and com
munity affairs. At all times she
has the welfare ef each family at
heart, thereby helping each one
to set high standards for the bet
terment of family relationship
and health conditions, making
home life worthwhile.
In order to visualize the accom
plishments in *' the Resettlement
honU one must know something of
the fanning record. In 1935
Mr. Dash and his family ob
tained a loan from the Re-
settlement Administration, the
farm and home already being
in the family’s possession. With his
farm supervised by an experienced
farm supervisor he was encouraged
to better management than before,
therefore his farm records show
1780 cans of vegetables canned at
the County cannery besides the 300
quarts of fruits and vegetables
put up by the house wife for home
use. Also a quantity of fresh veg
etables were sold locally.
Plenty of meat and syrup were
made for family use. The farm pro
duced 150 bushels of oats, 250
bushels com, 48 bushels wheat,
and an abundance of hay for live
stock. They have one milch cow,
one mule, a nice brood sow, chick
ens, etc., for sufficient family liv
ing. Only six bales of cotton was
produced due to wet weather
and boll wevil ravages. They
have an approved loan lor
1936 and with the supervisor’s
aid they expect greater at
tainments than before. Seeing the
constructiveness of the program
and what was done by RR families
during 1935, many farm families
have made applications and been
approved for 1936.
Therefore as the Resettlement
program continues our South land
will be greatly helped- by 'its
veiopments. • • ^ '
