Sunday School Lesson
BY REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
The Forbearance of Isaac
Lesson for May 16th.
Genesis 26:12-25.
Golden Text: Matt. 5-9.
Isaac is a striking contrast to his
. father Abraham. While Abraham
r/as a pioneer, Isaac was a settler,
Abraham was of an active, ener
getic temperament. Isaac, on the
other hand, was gentle and passive
Abraham thought in world terms
for he was a traveler and founder
cf colonies. But Isaac was a peace
ful family man, loyal to his home
At first thought Abraham seem?
the greater of the two. And his
tory does award him a more prom
inent niche in its gallery of heroes.
Yet Isaac, in his way. was a great
soul too. Abraham sacrificed by
accepting heavy burdens which
carried him far afield. Isaac, on
the contrary, stayed quietly where
he was brought up, using the same
wells his father had dug, and call
ing them by the same names.
“And Isaac dvfelt in Gerar.” This
gives the keynote of Isaac’s placid
life. He was ever loyal to his set
tled abode. The story of his life
is a splendid commentary on the
importance of domestic ties. Today
family life is less firmly rooted
than in the past. Children easily
break away from the moorings set
up by their parents. The peril of
this is plain.
And Isaac was willing not simply
to accept his father’s home, but
his father’s God too. He made no
innovation in the fields of re
ligious thinking. He was content to
accept the gospel of Abraham.
There is surely much to be said
for a man who is loyal to his fa
ther’s faith. To be sure, we should
ever be open-minded to new truth.
But we need not exaggarate our
zest for the novel. There is little
wisdom in running after every new
religion which turns up. Let us
ever be mindful of the merrit of
Issue’s conservatism. The church
has its old familiar walls, its beaten
track, and it is good for us to
drink and walk therein.

May Livestock Notes
Clemson, May 10. — For busy
farmers extension specialists give
these timely reminders on the
proper care of livestock for May.
Dairying
Plan for two tons of soybean or
peavine hay for each mature cow
and one ton for each yearling.
If a silo is to be filled this fall
have ample corn or cane. Plant
Biloxi soybeans in row with corn.
Where cane is used, plant Biloxi
soybeans in separate field to run
in silo with cane.
Plant enough extra corn to sup
ply eight bushels of corn-and-cob
meal per cow this winter.
Sow one-half acre of Pearl mil
let for each cow for soiling or graz
ing purposes in July and August.
Do not graze permanent pastures
too closely.
Clean out the barn and premises
to save manure and destroy breed
ing places for flies.
Animal Husbandry
Breed sows for fall litters.
Have all weanling pigs
treated for hog cholera.
See that the spring pigs are on
territory not infested with internal
parasites.
Feed lambs in a creep.
Use oats rather than corn for
the workstock.
Treat navels of new-born ani
mals with pine tar to prevent screw
worm infestation.
Poultry
Clean and disinfect the brooder
house each week.
Cull all weak, slow growing pul
lets and sell as broilers.
Cull the non-laying hens and
sell. Do not keep boarding hens.
Remove males from laying flock
when incubation season is over.
Produce infertile eggs.
Provide shade for growing pul
lets. , ,
Camp Bradley, May 8.—The Com
pany, Army Officers, Forest Serv
ice Personnel and their friends
from Greenwood, Abbeville, Mc
Cormick and other surrounding
towns enjoyed a dance in the Rec
reation Hall Friday night. This
was Captain Piper’s first dance at
Bradley and we feel sure that he
will be ready for another in a few
weeks. Luke Chaney and his or
chestra furnished music from 9:00
till 1:30.
Captain Piper, Mrs. Piper, Little
Pii'er and the twins are es
tablished in their new home in
Bradley. Captain Piper has taken
over his duties as Company Com
mander and is familiar with the
camp routine. When introduced to
the Company by Superintendent
Allen at Safety Meeting last Mon
day night he told the men that
coming to a Forest Service camp
was like coming home to him as
he had previously served a, twenty
months tour of duty in a Forest
Service camp in Mississippi.
Two days after Captain Piper’s
arrival at F-7 we received 17 men
from Camp Selleck at Abbeville.
Most of these men had only been
in camp a few v/eeks while a few
are veterans of two years or more
who came to Bradley to be nearer
home. As a whole we have found
these former Erosioneers to be
good men. They, like other new
men are distributed to the various
crews in order that the majority
of the men on every job will be
seasoned men. Some cf these men
are clearing rights-of-way on the
Faulkner Mountain Stub Road,
others are hauling piles and bridge
timber to Hardlabor Creek, Pete
Cantelcu has some on his land
scape crew and several huskies are
running sixteen pound hammers
at the rock crusher.
Last Sunday marked the begin
ning of the spring and summer
visiting season at Parson’s Moun
tain. Sixty people registered in the
Visitors Log during the day. A new
read has been graded up the wes
tern side of the mountain and the
Forest Service personnel on the
Long Cane Unit and the two look
outs are always glad to have visi
tors at the tower and cabin. Pic
nic parties are also welcome to the
tower, the only requirements be
ing that the parties clear up al
rubbish and obtain a camp fire
permit from the Ranger or the As
sistant Ranger before building a
fire.
Work on the Faulkner Mountain
Stub Road is progressing nicely
and when this road is completed
it is expected that Faulkner Moun
tain wall be a close second to Par
son’s Mountain’s number in visi
tors. Carpenter Chamberlain ad
vised that the mountain is pro
ducing a beautiful crop of huckle
berries.
Construction work has started
cn the Hardlabor Creek bridge
Necessary right-of-way has been
cleared and half of piles have been
placed on the ground. Pile driv
ing will probably start next week.
This is a 340’ treated timber pile
bent bridge and work will be un
der the supervision of Foreman
Tompkins.
Many of the boys who are not
on Fire Duty plan to spend Moth
er’s Day at home while those on
duty will probably spend a great
portion of the day thinking about
iheir Mother and other friends a.
home. Men In CCC camps are like
men the world over in that no mat
ter how wild or tough they are
when you begin talking about theii
mothers and sisters at home the
shell breaks and they become the
same little boys they were years
ago. If a man doesn’t respond to
talk about his mother in this way
there is no place for him in a CCC
camp or anywhere else where he
will come in contact with other
people.
Every one connected with Camp
Bradley was very sorry to hear of
double the death of Mr. J. L. Mims of
Edgefield. Mr. Mims was Editor of
the Edgefield Advertiser and a very
good friend of the camp. He has
visited our camp several times and
was always kind enough to give
us space in his paper.
What is the ' Low-price Field ?
Y OU hear a lot about “the low-price field” these
days. A good many cars claim to be in it.
So whenever the low-price field is mentioned,
remember:
Until Ford came, no average American could
own a car.
Today aH Ford prices are still low — with the
prices of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to
$60 lower than those of any other car of com-
parable size.
But with Ford, “low price” doesn't merely
mean low figures on the price tag. It means much
more than that. It means low prices and low
costs all the car's long life. Low prices for ser
vice — for parts — and, above all, for operation.
Both Ford V-8 engine sizes are economical to
operate. The 85 horsepower gives greater gas
oline mileage this year than ever, and the “60”
delivers the highest mileage in Ford history.
Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators
all report that the “60” averages from 22 to 27
miles per gallon of gasoline.

Check and see how much Ford saves you.

> \AT HEN there was no way of
Y y reaching the ranch save on
foot or horseback you stopped to
[breathe under a live oak where the
|trail bends, half way up the moun-
itain side. Today Carlotta pushed
jon, for she carried mail—letters and
English papers — enough to fetch
Geoflery into the cool of the patio,
where he grew roses and begonias
to remind himself of home.
Up, up chugged the car till Car
lotta stopped by the bit of green
outside the house. “Halloo,” she
called from the hallway to dark
silence.
“H-e-llo,” drawled a cool feminine
voice from the cloistered patio be
yond.
“Oh, Gwen,” Carlotta said,
vaguely. “Didn’t know you were
there.”
“Geoffery took pity on me,” the
tall blonde woman replied without
rising.
Geoffery Rainsford turned from
the roses he was spraying. “News
from home?” he asked.
“Oodles,” Carlotta answered. She
gave him letters. The newspapers
she handed the other woman.
“D’you know,” said Gwendolyn,
reaching eagerly for the papers;
“I feel as if I had been away years
and years. If I weren’t going home;
next month I couldn’t bear it.” She
dropped a newspaper wrapping on
top of Geoffery’s old tweed coat;
thrown carelessly on brick tiles at
her feet. “How long since you’ve
been back, Geoffery?”
He looked up. “Twice,” he said.
“I mean, I’ve been back twice since
the war.” j
“Good old Geoff,” chanted Gwen
dolyn in her characteristic singsong.
“You are a bit of a martyr, aren’t'
you?”
“Do you,” Carlotta asked, “really,
think Geoffery unfortunate because;
he makes his living in one of the
loveliest places on earth?”
“Of course,” Gwendolyn admitted,
“he’s not pigging it. But it’s not
like home, y’know. This blazing sun
day after day and a sky like a bigi
brass bowl turned upside down.j
Sometimes waking in the morning
I’d give my soul for the sound of
raindrops on window panes and
wind whipping off the North sea.’*
“And a whiff of coal gas from
a hearth fire,” mocked Carlotta.
A week had passed since Gwen
dolyn’s departure. Carlotta breathed
easier alone with Geoffery under the
multiple bright changes of the eve
ning sky.
“What did you hear from home
last time?” she asked, dreading
what lay behind his silence.
“They want me back,” he said.j
Carlotta drew a cigarette from
her pocket, and lit it, trying to ap
pear casual before she asked, “Shall
you be gone long?”
“I’m not sure I’ll get back,” he
said, knocking his pipe against the
tiled edge of the patio floor. “Fancy,
being at home again with some
thing worth while in the city, per
haps with the government itself. I
could make my long experience here
count for something then, there.’*
Hasn’t it counted, she asked her
self? Isn’t he rooted even a little
to this soil? Can he forsake me so
lightly, forsake this immeasurable
beauty?
“Somebody will have to look after
the ranch. It will take time to liqui-;
date. A fast boat leaves ten days
from now,” he was saying.
'“Not much time to get ready,**
Carlotta commented, cool and cor-
rect, like an Englishman, herself.
“When will you pack?” he asked.
“Why should I pack?” she pro
tested. “Haven’t you said somebody!
would have to look after the ranch?’*
He stared at her, astonished. “I’ve
made arrangements already,” he
advised her. “I hadn’t thought to
tell you.” He took a deep breath,'
fortifying himself for eloquence. 1
“Indeed,” he said, “I hate travel-,
ling alone. Don’t you? Indeed, I’d
rather travel with you than any
woman I know. You weren’t,” he
asked, suddenly impressed; “you
weren’t thinking of not coming, were
you?”
She suppressed almost hysterical;
laughter. Etching into memory the’
details of her beloved home she
half sobbed, “Indeed! Indeed, I’m 1
coming! All my life long I suppose
I’ll go wherever you go, whenever
you want me!”

The Corner Stone
The corner stone is the stone
which lies at the corner of two walls
and unites them; specifically it is
the stone built into one corner or
nominal starting point in building.
In the case of an important public
edifice or monumental structure the
laying of the corner stone usually is
accompanied by some formal cer
emony. The stone commonly is hol
lowed out and made the repository
of historical documents and of ob
jects such as coins and medals char
acteristic of the time. It is also
called “memorial stone.” The origin
of corner stone laying is not given in
encyclopedias. It seems to have ex
isted from earliest times. In Job
XXXVIII, 6, in which the Lord is
telling Job of His laying the founda
tion of the earth. He says: “Where
upon are the foundations fastened?
or who laid the corner stone there-
Qf?” /J
