Jesus Presents * Himself us the
Messiah.
Lesson tor February 27: Mark
11 and 12.
Golden Text: Mark 14:61, 62.
From the triumphal entry to
. the last things recorded in the
lesson text, we find Jesus pre
senting Himself qls the Messiah—
by what He did, and said, , and by
the authority He assumed.
Mark loved to write of what
Jesus as a man of action did.
“Straight-way” he tells us Jesus
did this and that. Today’s lesson
begins with the entry of Jesus as
the King into Jerusalem. There
was no mistaking the significance
of that. And as the outraged
King He attacked the strong
hold of special privilege and
swept the temple clean. And
when His enemies - asked con
cerning pis authority He put
them to silence with a question
concerning John the Baptist.
Consider the parable of the
wicked husb«Sdman. His enemies
were not so dull that they could
not see that the parable was
aimed at them as men who would
kill the Son of God. Also in His
reference to the corner stone sl- : -
mong the rums, Jesus made it
plain that His enemies had re
jected Him as the Messiah, but
that He would become the head
of the corner..
Further, only He who could
lay claim to the wisdom of the
Messiah and speak with the .au
thority of God, could have spoken
as Jesus spoke, could*‘ have si
lenced His opponents 1 and even
gained an approbation" of what
He said concerning the' law of love
from one of the scribes.
And how like thfc Messiah,
when Jesus, ' piercing through all
the motives of men, saw a greater
devotion in the heart of the poor
widow, than in the hearts of all
who cast into the treasury! And
we may be sure that nothing
good we do in His name will ever
be overlooked.

^ our Army and Navy from Alaska to
Iran, from Australia to Italy — bringing

doctors and nurses are fighting doubly

In a very real sense the well-being of
South Carolinians is in the capable
hands of approximately 1,250 physicians
and surgeons and more than 3,000
nurses. At their disposal are the facili
ties of 68 hospitals which have beds for
over 15,000 patients at one time. In an
average year more than 150,000 patients
are admitted to these institutions. To
the South Carolina State Board of

Health goes well-deserved credit for the
high standards of medical care prevail
ing in our State.
We of the Greyhound Lines pay tribute
to these fellow-citizens of ours who are
doing so much to make our State a finer
place to live in. They’re doing a big job
—a vital one. Greyhound’s job is quite
different—but vital, too! Providing safe,
convenient transportation service is ■■
particularly important now. By making
near neighbors and good neighbors of
all the communities we serve in South j
Carolina, we are helping unify the war
efforts of this State — keeping them
rolling toward Victory!

More Workers
Needed At
Navy Yard
Increased demands for immedi
ate delivery of the Navy’s hew
type invasion ship, the LSM, de
signed to get heavy mechanized
equipment ashore on Jap held
beaches, have brought an urgent
appeal for more workers from
McCormick to help build these
invasion ships at the Charleston
(S. C.) Navy Yard.
Charleston Navy Yard is the
southeast’s only Navy Yard and
its record in getting these badly
needed ships to the fleet will de
pend on the workers of South
Carolina and other Southeastern
states in rally to the appeal of
Navy officials there for more
workers quickly.
U. S. Civil Service recruiting
representatives, who were in
Greenwood recently hiring work
ers for this Charleston Navy Yard
ship building program, will re
turn here February 24th to hire
additional workers for this vital
war job.
Application should, be made
February 24. 25 and 26 at the
United States Employment Ser
vice Office, 516 S. Main St.,
Greenwood, S. C.
The LSM program is now un
derway at Charleston. The ships
have a fast schedule for con
struction, a schedule which, if
met, will get them to the proper
rendezvous in the Pacific in time
to take badly needed heavy
mechanized equipment ashore to
support the Marines, Bluejackets
and Soldiers when, they move in
on Jap strongholds. To meet the
schedule, the yard needs 6,000
workers.
The pay is good, plenty of ov
ertime pay, too, with transporta
tion paid to Charleston.
Workers are urgently needed in
the following classifications: Auto
mechanic, classified laborer, e-
lectrician, machinist, welder, pipe-
coverer and insulator, pipefitter,
packer, sheetmetal worker ship-
fitter, boilermaker, shipper and
calker, driller, holder-on; and
helpers for the following: black
smith, electrician, machinist, pipe
fitter, sheetmetal worker, shift-
fitter and boilermaker.

Liming And En

Garden Soils
| Clemson, Feb. 19. — Vegetables
generally, except Irish potatoes,
do best on soils that are near
neutral, yet most of oqr soils are
acid, says A. E. Schilletter, Clem
son extension horticulturist. Hence
his advice to test the garden soil
and apply lime if necessary, to
change acid soil to near neutral.
Suggesting either ground lime
stone or basic slag for this pur
pose, Mr. Schilletter advises a ton
of limestone or half that much
basic slag per acre for acid soils.
That would be 5 pounds of lime
stone or half that much basic
Slag for each 100 square feet of
ground. The slag, he points
out, carries also considerable
phosphorus and traces of minor
elements that the soil may need.
To increase fertility, especially
for fast-growing, tender, succu
lent vegetables, nothing is bet
ter than a two-horse wagonload
of stable manure for a space 50
by 100 feet. For late application
this manure should be well de
cayed before being broadcast and
worked into the soil.
If stable manure is not avail
able, it is desirable to broadcast
5 pounds per acre of a complete
garden fertilizer such as 5-10-5
or 6-8-6 when the beds are made.
If the stable manure is available,
half that much fertilizer may be
sufficient. In this case it should
be put in the drill and mixed
with the soil before the beds are
made.
For certain garden crops, such
as rapid-growing leafy vegetables,
light top-dressings of nitrogen
are desirable. These made about
10 days apart after the vegetables
begin to grow will stimulate
growth.
The fore-handed gardener will
make provision now for the lim
ing, the manure, and the fertili
zers needed, says Mr. Schilletter,
so that they will be at hand
when needed.
