ROBERT Hi HARPER The Value of the Church to the Social Order.. , Lesson for December 13: Mat tfccw 5:13 16; Mark 12:13-17; Peter 2:13-17. , Golden Text: Matthew 5:13, If. An old man reminded that he was careful to live near the churches, and was then reminded once lived in a section without churhces, and was then reminded that he had come away from that section. Many critics are really trusting to the security giv en a community by the Church. Consider the value of the 'church fo the whole of the social order. Like salt, the Church preserves the good things worth saving among men. And as the great source of light, the Church has conserved and applied spiritual truth in all the affairs of life. The Separation of Church and State does not deny to the for mer a right influence upon t]}e latter, both in ^ forming good character in men and preaching Meals of truth and justice. The rights the State insures to men should lead them to give it their hearty support. Certainly Chris tians should be good citizens. In the apostles’ time it was sound policy to give no offense to established government but, first, Christians should be loyal to gov- srnment because in its origin and authority it is from God. The whole program of a Chris tian is set forth in the last verse mt the lesson. The Value of the Church to the Social Order will be realized as Christians regard the rights of all, love their breth- len. fear God, and honor the king—be loyal to their own gov ernment, whatever its form. _x Cotton Marketing Quota Referendum, December 12.1942 The Referendum on Cotton Marketing Quota for 1943 will be held on Saturday, December 12, 1942.

Farm Calendar For December Guidance The really proud farmer shuns •“the common herd” by using pure- sires with his livestock. Keep ’em firing—with junk! tut Bomb the Japs with junk! Even in December farmers must keep busy with important activi- ies, chiefly looking towards the uture, says County Agent G. W. Bonnette, who lists these brief suggestions: Agronomy 1, Save plant food for 1943 crops “Green fields for Christmas”. 2. Put cotton under cover to prevent oss of $5 or more per bale. 3. Clean up briars and plum thick ets around edges of fields. 4. Bed down stalls and barns with eaves, pine needles, or grain straw; the bigger the manure pile the smaller the fertilizer bill. 5. Continue to build artificial or synthetic manure pens. 6. This is a good time to put out lime. Horticulture 1. Make plans for Victory gar den in 1943, get catalogs, and order seeds before seedsmen are out of desirable varieties. 2. If ruit trees have not already been set, do so this month; fall or win ter planting in the South is pref erable to early spring planting. 3 Prepare hotbeds for sowing in January. 4. Prune fruit trees and bunch grapes. 5. Propagate grapes and ornamental deciduous shrubs from new cuttings. 6. Terrace all land to be planted to peaches be fore trees are set. Insects and Diseases 1. Observe how well long, close- fitting shucks protect corn against weevils. 2. Burn orchard prun- ings to destroy shot-hole borers. 3. Burn twigs severed by girdlers. 4. Apply lime sulfur or oil emul- W R D W Augusta, Georgiy 5,000 WATTS Mother’s Dream 1480 ON YOUR DIAL First In Entertainment, News, Coverage, , Service TOWN TAX NOTICE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF McCORMICK, AND BY AU THORITY OF THE SAME: SECTION ONE: That a tax of eight mills of the assessed valua tion of all real and personal property lying within the corpor ate limits of the Town of McCor mick, S.
