Lesson for May 2: John 21:15-21. . Golden Text: John 15:13. In the lesson we find a sipnifi cant repetition of numbers -three times three — three-fold question, vow of love, and charge to Peter, and all reminding us, as they doubtless reminded Peter, of the three-fold denial in the palace of ' the high priest. Then see how tenderly Jesus rebuked Peter. Recall what took place when Peter, never a man to be idle, de cided, during the intervals of the Lord’s appearances after the res urrection, to returh to fishing on Galilee. Several disciples had ac companied him. After the Lord’s appearance on the seashore in the early morning and their breakfast together, Jesus said to Peter, “Lovest thou me?” After each vow of love, the Lord charged Peter to serve. First it was “Feed my lambs,” and then. “Feed my sheep.” Pastors and others may learn from this of their work today—they are to nurture the young and to strengthen the mature. Seemingly a man hearing of his future martyrdom would not have been curious about others. But Peter at once asked what should befall John. Jesus indicated that what should befall John did not concern Peter. Doubtless Jesus wanted Peter to know the cost of following his Lord ere he answer ed the further command to serve —“Follow me.” He who once feared, and de nied his Lord, did not shrink. Henceforth, though not a perfect man, Peter was a changed man, and in love and obedience he did follow his Lord. And so should we, under better circumstances, be ready to serve wherever Jesus leads us. Guide To Profitable ' Hog Growing In State Clemson, April 24.—A ne^r pub lication designed to serve as a guide to successful and continued hog production in South Caro lina, outlining a practical proce dure that will steer the average farmer around the pitfalls that beset the indifferent way, is now available from Clemson College or county agents. The new publication is Exten sion Circular 234, entitled “Swine Herd Management”. It was pre pared by A. L. DuRant and J. R. Hawkins, extension livestock spe cialists, who have helped to build the hog business that now thrives in the state. Discussing briefly breeds of hogs, management, grazing crops, feeds, equipment, sanitation and disease prevention, and market ing, Circular 234 emphasizes six essentials of hog production ef ficiency: 1. A large number of pigs wean ed per litter, 2. Heavy weight of pigs at Y.can’r-g time, 3. Rf»p‘d and eccn^mi-al gains, 4. Efficient use of heme-grown feeds, 5. Maximum use of good equip ment, ' 6. Freedom from disease and other trcub!es. The ideas and methods discuss ed in the publication are based on practical experience. They are the accumulation of proven poin ters that have entered into the establishment of a hog industry integrated with diversified farm ing. It is felt, therefore, that hog producers can tie to the cir cular and get real help from it. -X- Chevrolet- P&W “E” Award rTROIT, Mich., Apr. 14.—No- ition of the awarding of an jr-Navy “E” production award s three plants in the Buffalo engaged in the manufacture DRIVE IS ON! * *1 / i /• .; v r * ..S - • a ;.
