Golden Text: Ephesians 4:32. Luke’s gospel is good tidings for the poor. Nowhere else is the hu manity of our Lord 90 appealingly i he commanded them to go and show themselves unto the priests. And the healing occurred as they went. Here we learn that only through obedience do we secure salvation. The important thing is not to ask for health, but to obey the doctor’s orders. We are amazed by the gross in gratitude of those nine lepers who, whether from timidity, forgetful ness, or willful neglect, failed to give thanks. And yet is it not a fact that men find it hard to be grateful? The world is fill of per petual grumblers who are never thankful for anything. But there was one, a Samaritan, who did return to bring gladness to the Master’s heart. His grate fulness atoned for the failure of the rest. Thank God for him and all like him who practice the min istry of appreciation. x, Crop Report As Of April 1,1936 Behind every used AND SOUTH CAROLINA Wet weather has delayed soil Hiizstrated. His mission is described preparation and planting progress here as one of grace toward out- is behind usual, according to re casts. Dante said that the third port issued by Frank O. Black, As- gospel reveals ,the tenderness of ricultural Statistician, Columbia, S. Jesus. How wonderfully this com- C., April 23 'f-N passion is revealed in that story in our lesson of the ten lepers! Leprosy, judging from the nu merous references to it ih the Bible, was & common and loathsome disease. And it is by no means stamped out, for there are at least two million lepers today, one out of every 800 persons in the world. A lingering ailment, it turns the hair and skin white, and gradually disfigures the body. Note the method by which Jesus dealt with these lepers. He said nothing about their sins. Quite dearly he did not look upon lep rosy as a punishment of sin. The Master always reasoned from sin to suffering, but he did not teach that all suffering is the result of xM. Again, it is significant that our Lord did not heal these lepers all at once. He postponed the miracle. Winter wheat condition at 75 per cent on April 1 indicates a crop of 988,000 bushels, which compares with 980,000 bushels made last year and 575,000 bushels as the average production for the years 1928-1932. The condition of the peach crop was reported at 77 per cent on April 1, which compares with 82 per cent a year earlier and a ten- year average (1924-1932) condition of 70 per cent. Condition reports on Irish pota toes at 73 per cent, rye at 76 per cent, and pasture at 65 per cent are slightly below average. Supplies of grain on farms Aprtl 1 are well above recent years. Corn on hand is reported at 11,619,000 bushels, oats at 1,368,000 bushels and wheat at 98,000 bushels. This compares with average supplies on hand for the years 1928-1932 of 8,510,000 bushels for corn, 538,000 I 9 8 vklM tit-Ai* I n full apP r dcalCr ' t>y ^ 7 ::: iikccd In M ford ^ h ,Kh of jdcd f the hil*' 4 pTch have HU.0 ibo*** entire existence.

Farmers gen erally appear to be expanding their operations, although developments in the new Soil Conservation pro gram will undoubtedly cause some modification of their plans. Re ports from practically all States show that the demand for farm labor has increased as compared with a year ago, that farm wages are higher, and the number of local men still available for employment at current wage rates appears to determine the full extent of damage, there undoubtedly was consider able iriury to the buds in the areas where below-freezing temperatures occurred.
