Jesus Teaches True Greatness.
Lesson for February 20: Mark
9: 30—10:45.
Golden Text: Mark 10:45.
Several important teachings of
the leson are found in both the
first and latter parts of the text,
chief exceptions being the teach
ing concerning divorce and the
incident of the rich young ruler.
While in other instances Jesus
approved divorce from an adulter
ous mate, in this instance He
recognized no ground whatever,
and indicated that marriage is
ordained by God. The rich young
ruler had kept the letter of the
law but had missed the spirit en
tirely. He had lived for himself
alone—every day breaking the
law of love.
In the first section of the text
we read of Jesus setting a child
in the midst of the disciples; in
the second, of His taking children
into His arms and blessing them.
How strikingly does He remind us
of the possibilities of the children
among us!
Peter showed a bargaining
spirit when he reminded Jesus
that he and his fellows had left
all to follow Him. Jesus assured
him that no one who had given
up much would fail to receive
manifold more in this present
world, and in the world to come,
life everlasting.
TLe selfish striving of the dis
ciples for chief places and the
request of James and John and
the indignation of the ten, led
Jesus to teach the disciples con
cerning true greatness. It comes
in great service. And the Lord in
vited attention to Himself as an
example of unselfish service.
Let us make Him our own ex
ample.

Arrival Of Chilean
Nitrate Of Soda Of
Interest To Farmers
Arrival of Chilean nitrate of
-oda in American ports is a mat
er of keen interest to farmers
:oday. Because of the impor
tance of soda in food production,
md because of the magnitude of
he food production requirements
this year, many inquiries are be
ing made as to how much natur
al soda will be available.
J. A. Woods, president of
Chilean Sales Corporation, in a j
•ecent report, explained that, for
.he current year ending June 30,!
negotiations have been concluded
for the purchase of 700.000 tons
WANT ADV.
of Chilean Nitrate, with an op
tion for the purchase of addi
tional 300,000 tons. Ships to brin
the nitrate from Chile ire the bi
problem. Cargoes are arrivini
however, and it is believed tlu
enough natural soda will be z
vailable to farmers to meet esser
tial needs.
In the war years of 1941-42 an
1942-43 about 1,600,000 tons c
natural Nitrate came in and s
bout 1,000,000 tons v/ent to Am
erican farms in 1942-13. While i
the first world war Chilean N:

manufacture of muniiions, in th
war the great bulk of nitrate rc
ceived has been put to its mo:

“If the South is to stay in the
livestock business, it will have to
produce more protein along with
other feeds. We cannot depend
upon the importation of soybean
meal from the com belt or of
carbohydrate feeds in form of
yellow corn. We must learn to
utilize our own resources, and in
doing so may get more economic
results, even though we do not
follow the feeding programs
which have been > found success
