PATRICIA DOW
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Peter and John Preach to Sa
maritans.
Lesson for May 16: Acts 8: 14:25.
Golden Text: John 4:35.
When persecution scattered
Christians abroad, Philip, the dea
con, went to Samaria and made
converts, and the Jerusalem
church sent Peter and John there
to investigate and complete the
work.
Simon the sorcerer, a nominal
convert, had had much influence
among the people by his magic
Seeing the disciples do greater
things than he could work by
magic, he offered Peter and John
money for the power to confer the
Holy Spirit. His trafficing spirit
In holy things has given a name,
simony, to traffic in that which is
sacred.
Pet^r severely rebuked Simon,
telling him his money might per
ish with him—the gift of God
eould not be bought. Simon then
besought the disciples to pray for
him that he might escape the evil
consequences of his sin. It would
be pleasing to know that he was
really converted, but we do not
know that he was.
The lesson sets in contrast
Superficial and genuine conversion.
Let us make sure that we really
believe, and that we have a
Christian experience that is free
•f all selfish and worldly motives.
The world thinks it has its last
say about a minister of the gos
pel when it can say he is
“preaching for money.” But is
such an unworthy man much
worse than any other who under
takes a high service with no high
motive?

ALLIES TO MAP RELIEF PLAN
FOR STARVING MASS
Conference To Be Held In
Hot Springs, Va.
linext week, representatives
cf the United Nations will meet
in Hot Springs, Va., for the impor
tant Allied Food conference.
As they gather, ominous re
ports from occupied Europe will
ring fresh in their ears—reports
of widespread malnutrition and
hunger among the hundreds of
thousands cf children and the old
er men and women in these coun
tries.
With these reports will echo the
plea of such organisations as the
i National Committee on Food for
: the Small Democracies for imme-
j diat^ action to especially feed the
small children of the vanquished
(nations so as to prevent perma-
■ nent deformation in their growth,
j Already the arsenal cf democ
racy, America may well assume the
role of the world’s granary.
| According to U. S. officials the
Hot Springs, Va., sessions will - be
chiefly devoted to the formulation
cf plans which the different rep
resentatives will take back to their
respective governments. It will
then be up to these governments
to act on the proposals.
The officials have also pointed
out that the conference will not
only concern itself with immedi
ate food problems of the Allies.
Studies will be made of restoring

tion, America will be looked upon
to play a vital role. Our rich
fields will produce bumper crops,
and of all the nations in the
world, our great industrial plants
for the manufacture of farm e-
quipment are the best situated
to emerge from the war un
scathed.
Predict Bumper Crop.
Despite severe labor shortages,
the lowest number of horses and
mules on the farms in 60 years,
and the scarcity of new tractors,
farmers still are expected to seed
and harvest record acreage. This
tremendous achievement should
be sufficient to put the Ameri
can farmer in the van cf the ef
fort on the home front.
The 97 million acres of corn
that farmers are expected to
plant this year will exceed 1942’s
by 6 per cent. It has been indi
cated the wheat acreage goal of
52,500,000 will be reached. Oat.
seedlings may show a slight drop
to 42,638,000.
Increases in potato planting
are' expected to approximate 14
per cent; dry, edible beans, 16
per cent; dry field peas, 35 per
cent: and soybeans, 9 per cent.
Barley may register a slight dip
and rice acreage remain the
same.
With this huge prospective
yield in field crops, cattle pro
duction also promises to be ex
ceptionally high. Last fall’s . rec
ord pig farrowing and indications
of equally heavy litters this
spring should keep America well
stocked in pork, bacon, ham and
lard.
Against this picture of abun
dance, a dismal sketch has been
drawn cf occupied Europe. All of
the factors that go into agricul- j
ural production — fields, animals
and labor—have been blighted by
war; and in the villages and the
big cities, hunger marks the faces
of the populace.
The situation is said to be par-
icularly acute in Belgium and
Tolland. Before the war, both
hese countries imported a large
proportion of their foed.
In Belgium, the dai'y available
ation is about 950 calories as
against the minimum need for
2,500. In some sections of the
little nations, more than 50 per
cent of the children are tubercu
lar and have no resistance to dis
ease. In Holland, a recent rc-
3crt showed an increase of over
70 per cent in deaths from tuber
culosis.
According to estimates, 30,900 to
40,000 tons of meats, fats, dairy
products, cereals and other pro
tective foods for children are
needed monthly to restore chil
dren to a sound nutritive basis.
Adults have also been severer
affected by inadequate rations
They are without the foods not
only to maintain present emer
gencies but also to build up

v Boost Shipments to Allies.
ery 109 quarts of milk produced
were required for the processing
of butter, cheese and dry, evapor-
Even as the representatives ated and condensed milk for for-
prepared to gather for the United
Nations conference, Edward R.
Stettinius, Jr., lend-lease admini
strator, announced that America
would step up food shipments to
the Allies for the remainder of
the year.
Revealing that America shipped
about G per cent of its total food
production abroad last year, Stet
tinius said a boost in this figure
could be expected, in view of
prospective increased harvests.
“Food for Russian soldiers has
priority on a par with guns and
planes on convoys sailing for the
U. S. S. R., where the best farm
lands have been ravaged by the
enemy,” Stettinius said.
“The 10 per cent of Great j
Britain’s food supply provided by
the United States makes possible !
maintaining food rations in the [
United Kingdom at a level which,
although considerably more severe
than in the United States, is suf
ficient to maintain the intensive
war effort.”
In summarizing increased
shipments during the first quar
ter of 1943 over those of the
same period last year, Stettinius
presented these facts:
Shipments of beef and veal
amounted to about one pounc
out of every 100 produced.
Lamb and mutton were shipped
at a rate of about 18 pounds of
every 100 produced.
Thirteen pounds of pork out of
every 100 produced were shipped.
In canned fruits and vege
tables, not quite one can out of
every 100 cans were shipped.
Less than two quarts out of ev-
eign shipment.
Out of every 100 pounds of
butter, one-half pound was ship
ped. Shipments of lard, marga
rine and other edible fats anc
oils approximated 13 pounds ou
of every ICO.
Out of every 100 eggs hatched
lend-lease shipped 15 in drie
form to the Allies.
Shipments of dried peas, bea
and fruits jumped considerab
over those of last year.
