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.

Urges Those Desiring
Fish To Stock Ponds
And Streams In S. C.
To File Applica

Washington, March 9.—Persons
desiring fish from Federal Fish
Hatcheries with which to stock

lumber of applications that have
been received from the Third Dis

several days.

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

Orangeburg and other hatcheries

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

in the Senate and was a ::iembe

drafted the Federal-aid act. Oi
the Senate Committee were 3en

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

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.
