Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT II. HARPER
Dcu
Abiding Values From*. Israel’
ffistory.
Lesson for $en*ember 26:
leronomy 11:13-25.* ;
Golden Text: Proverbs 14:34.
Having followed Israel’s history
in the Exodus, we maV now con
sider its abiding values. For the
purpose we study a portion of
Deuteronomy, which contains the
farewell addresses of Moses and
repeats much found in preceding
hooks.
Men should be good not primar
ily* for reward, but the Bible iS fill
ed with assurances that God will
care for those who do his will '—
that they have all to gain and
nothing to lose. Moses promised
his people material blessings, but
solemnly warned them of disaster
if they should turn from God to
idols.
They were told to lay up the
words of God in their hearts, to
talk of them with their children—
In their homes and when they
walked abroad. In simpler days
of our country parents and their
chilirer were together more and*
Christian parents did talk with!
their children of the things" of I
God. It would be well for us to
xeturn, in this respect, to the
customs of other days. In the
time of Christ the Pharisees were
carrying out the command of
Moses literally—wearing frontlets
muA else. The important tiling
is .that the words of God be writ
ten in the heart.
Further, Moses promised nation
al. blessing — nations would be
driven out before the Israelites,
not a man would be able to stand
against them. But this greater
promise depended upon their
cleaving unto God. Ofttimes the
Israelites departed from God and
hi all their history they never
attained unto the full scope of
the promise. For our nation the j
great lesson of abiding value is I
well expressed in the words of the
Golden Text.
It’ll cost you an extra MOO Bond to
County Timber Op-
i erators And Own-
- ers To Receive
Increased Assistance
TCie lumber industry, according
fo the concerned government a-
gencies, both military and civilian,
has become the nation’s number
1 critical industry from the
standpoint of production of war
veeds. To further the industry’s
efforts to meet huge war de
mands, lumber ceiling price and
' wage increases have recently been
allowed and a Timber Production
War Project has been established
by the U. S. Forest Service, for
and at the request of the War
Production Board, to assist op
erators and timber owners.
An announcement recently by L.
O. Barrett, Project Forester of
the TWPW for this district,
states that it will be served by
two full-time men with head
quarters in Room 144, Post Of-
flc® Building, Greenwood. The
district includes upstate South
Carolina down to ’ Edgefield. Salu
da, Newberry, Fairfield, and Lan
caster counties. Mr. Barrett, for
merly District Ranger of the Long
Cane Division of the Sumter Na
tional Forest, is in charge and
will be assisted by W. Conley
Henry of Mountain Rest, S. C.
The district officers are in posi
tion to assist in problems of tim
ber supply and, to some extent,
labor. Priority difficulties will be
handled through S. L. Harlow,
WPB Lumber Advisor. Specialists
will investigate ceiling prices in
relation to production costs as it
becomes necessary and. in general,
assistance designed to increase
the production of timber products
will be offered to the lumber and
related industries.
Of the 1485 sawmills in South
Carolina, 711 are located in *he
18 counties comprising this dis
trict. Of these, 120 mills did not
operate at all in 1942 and only
102 mills produced 1,000,000 or
more board feet each. The 1942
production in this district was a-
bout 25 per cent of the state
total and in order to meet abso
lutely essential war needs it must
be at least as high in 1943. De
clining output so far this year
makes it necessary that every
possible step be taken to increase
the present production rate. j
In his announcement, Barrett
urges that owners of merchant
able timber get In touch with the
nearest county agent or state or
federal forest official. Within the
limits of the men available ad
vice and help to prevent over-1
cutting of timber stands and to
prepare suitable cutting contracts t
will be furnished where desired
by such owners. He also urges
that the general public cooperate!

Some day, if God is with him, he'll come

And when he does, you'll get the biggest
thrill of your life if you can look him squarely
in the eye and say, *T couldn't help you fight
—but I did everything in my power to help
you win!"'
There's only one way you can say that...hon
estly say it. And that is to help him win now.—
when he needs all the help you can give him.
Today's particular job for you is to scrape

extra $100 worth of War Bonds! That's your
job in the 3rd War Loan!
It's not enough to buy your regular amount
of Bonds. It has to be more. It has to be an extra

Saving The Pigs
Saves Feed Too
Saving pigs from the ravages
of disease has a double value—it
saves the value of the feed con
sumed as well as the value of thr
pigs, says Dr. G. W. Anderson
associate animal pathologist of
the South Carolina Experiment
Station.
Data compiled by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, based
upon actual records of hogs pro
duced on a typical farm for a
period of five years, show that
the feed requirement is c’unul-
five from the time the sow is
bred through the entire life of the
pig.
Each pig farrowed dead repre
sents a feed loss of 140 pounds.
Each pig farrowed alive but
'T j} f v- 4 -v* “
weeks of age) loses 120 pounds
mo • ’
A pig that dies eight weeks af
ter weaning (18 weeks of age)
represents about 100 pounds ad
ditional feed loss, making a to
tal of 360 pounds.
During the next eight-weeks
period feed consumption amounts
to 242 pounds, and the final fat
tening period of eight weeks re
quires about 388 pounds, making
an aggregate of 990 pounds ot
feed, the total feed loss when a
hog ready for market dies of
disease, as many of them do.
“This loss of almost one-half
ton of feed, along with the
edible carcass, is not ‘peanuts’ to
the owner or to the Food for
Freedom program,” says Dr. An
derson.
