SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 Six Months • 75 Three Months *00 Sunday School Lesson BY REV. CHARLES E. DUNN Feeding: the Hungry. Lesson for Today. Mark 6:30-34. Congressman Taylor Senator Smith Rem- Golden Text: Mark 6:37. The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle to be found in all four of the gospels. St. Mark’s account is the fullest, and is also noteworthy for its graphic touches Take such phrases as these: “Come ye yourselves apart;” “no leisure so much as to eat;” “as sheep not having a shepherd;” “the green grass.” The miracle easily lends itself to a rational explanation. It has been argued that the generosity of Jesus and his disciples in sharing their tew loaves and fishes with others persuaded many more, who had brought some food with them, and were inclined to keep it for them selves, to distribute what they nad until all were well fed. While this Interpretation by no means dis poses of all of the difficulties in the narrative, it has much to com mend it. It is significant that this famiiiai incident marks a crisis in the min istry of Jesus. His popularity was then at its peak. The people were not only convinced that he was the Messiah but wanted to crown him as their king. How, by making it clear that his aims were entirely spiritual, he forfeited his renown, is a part of the tragedy of his dra matic career. St. John uses the miracle as an introduction to his long discourse on the bread of life (see chap. 6). Und-r this interpretation the mir acle becomes a symbol of the Lord’s Supper. As our Lord fed the people on the grass with physical food, so he feeds, through the agency of nis I ministers, the souls of believers in the sacrament of the Holy Com munion. The Golden Text, “Give ye them to eat,” might well be used as the basis for a discussion of the serious agricultural and social problem in volved in the sad fact that millions go hungry in a world of plenty. This is peculiarly true of the Orient, but there are many under- priviledged folk in America whose diet is far from normal. XXt — Urges Those Desiring Fish To Stock Ponds And Streams In S. C. To File Applica tions Immediately Washington, March 9.—Persons desiring fish from Federal Fish Hatcheries with which to stock ponds and streams in South Caro lina during the late spring and early summer should file these ap plications immediately, Congress- nan John C. Taylor stated today in recounting the unusually large lumber of applications that have been received from the Third Dis trict of South Carolina in the past several days. From the many large Federal .ish hateneries located in various parts of the United States, fish .^re avaiiaoxe free to all persons making .•equesfc for them through submis- lon of the regular applicatior. ferm which can be secured from Congressman John C. Taylor, Hous Jlfice Building, Washington, D. Congressman Taylor stated »;oda> iiat he has an ample supply o blanks on hand and will be gla' i,o lurnisn them to anyone writing nim at the above address. Congressman Taylor has recently contacted, Charles E. Jackson South Carolina who is Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau o A Fisheries with the request that ai. applications filed be given prompt consideration and the fish supplied as early as possible. Jackson gave him the assurance this would be done and while it will net be pos sible this spring to consign fish to the Third District in carload lots generous consignments from the Orangeburg and other hatcheries will be made available to all mak ing applications. Carload lot con signments will probably be mad. to the District in the Fall. A generous supply of mountain rout will soon be available from the new Federal fish hatchery icar Walhalla, and tentative plans are inisces On Federal Aid Road System Washington, March 4.—With considerable agitation in Congress for super-toll highways, Senator Ellison D. Smith today recalled that it was just twenty-two years ago this month that Congress wa: actively engaged in shaping tht Federal-aid policy which has bee. responsible for the present Federal aid system of interstate highway. At the time, in 1916, Senate Smith was serving his eighth yea in the Senate and was a ::iembe of the Senate Committee whic. drafted the Federal-aid act. Oi the Senate Committee were 3en ator Claude A. Swanson of virgink now Secretary of the Navy, the lat. Senators Boies Penrose of Pennsyi vania, James K. Vardaman of Mi. cissippi, and John H. Bankhead o Alabama, father of vhe presen Speaker Bankhead and his brocae. Senator Bankhead. By a coincidence, Senator Smiti was elected to the Senate ..n lye. the year in which great nationa motor tours in various sections oi the country promoted sentimen ior roads which led to drafting •_ the Federal-aid act in 1S16. It »va signed by the President on Jai. xl, 1916. Thus Senator Smith came to ohe Senate in the roadless era of 19(19 .iclped to create the Federal-aia system which has given the Jniteu States the greatest system cf the roads in the world and aided in .he year-after-year development of these interstate roads. Now as second ranking member of the Senate from the standpoint oi continuous service, he is ready for whatever road readjustments are necessary to meet present-day tiaffic needs and assure safe high way use. Senator Smith is one of three members cf Congress who was a member of the 1916 Senate and House Committees which framed the Federal-aid act. Senator Smith said: “Whatever the future may hold under way at present to restock, . , „ J mountain streams in Oconee and in the way of Federal participation Pickens Counties with fish from this hatchery. Officials of the bureau c. Fisheries consider this one of the finest trout hatcheries in the country. ’ x Treat Cotton Seed Clemscn, March 5.—Heavy in- le'tation with fungi was shown in highway construction, the pro gress made during the last twenty- two years has been most signif icant. Under the stimulus of Fed eral-aid, our country has today nearly a million miles of surfacea roads. This great system of free highways should be maintained re gardless of what is done about super-highways.” x cotton seed samples collected at CleillSOll Service Told random from nine counties well distributed over the state. Germin- I On National Broadcast ation tests were made oy the Scutn Carolina Experiment Station here. These fungi, says Dr. C. H. Arndt, associate plant pathologist, are important causes of cotton seedling diseases, and low seedling emer gence and heavy losses of stand are likely to occur if the planting of untreated seed is followed oy cool rainy weather. For this reason it is recommended that cotton seed from the 1937 crop be treated with some fungicide, as Ceresan, before planting. In these tests the cotton seed March 24. 25, 26 was germinated in steamed soil in i the greenhouse under conditions which simulated field conditions.
