ROBERT H. HARPER T Saul Encourages the Corinthi- 3SKS. lesson for May 28: II Corinthi ans 4:5, 16-18; 5:1, 14-19. Golden Text: II Corinthians 8:9. In the first verse of the lesson tfcext Paul tells of things that mark a true Christian minister— lie forges himself, exalts Christ, serves for Jesus’ sake. In verses 16 to 18, Paul con- trasts the material with the spirit- aml His words encourage Christians to faint not. Afflic tions are but for a moment and should lead to great blessing. Things seen all will rust, decay, tourn to ashes—only the unseen ■will endure. No man has seen •electricity—only the shining track •of the lightning and the lights in Ins home and city, but he cannot •doubt its presence. No man has seen love itself, though blessed by tfc. Neither has he seen his own soul, himself, but he cannot •doubt his existence. And through taith in his Lord he believes he - will live forever. For when his ‘‘earthly house” 4H Cor. 5:1) in which he dwells will be “dissolved” in death, he •will enter his eternal house “not made with hands.” Surely the radiant hope of a blessed immor- ta!ity is enough to encourage any Ghristian. The love cf Christ empowers men to work for Him. This is the love, manifested on the cross. IPaul wiites he will no longer know Jesus as a man, but will «xalt Him as Saviour and Lord. The world may profit by the teachings -and example of Jesus, but it most needs Him as Saviour. So may we exalt Him, first of all, £is the Saviour who confirms His sacrificial death by His resurrec tion and offers eternal life to all t who believe in His name. Let the ground of personal hope and the chief theme of our preaching be that “God was in Christ reconcil ing the world unto Himself.” For God has committed unto us the "Word of reconciliation.” X Poppy Day, Sat urday, May 27 “Every penny from poppies that will be sold on the streets of this and thousands of other towns, vil lages and cities in the country, is contributed to the welfare and rehabiltation work of The Ameri can Legion and Auxiliary,” Mrs. Mildred Nave, President of the Auxiliary Unit, American Legion, said today. “Because this work is toeing done by volunteers the money goes a long /way. “Many people have wondered what will become of the money, collected by the volunteer workers! Saturday, May 27. I wish every- I -one could see what help this' money brings to the disabled and their families. Children left fa-1 therless by two world wars are the ' special concern of the Legion and Auxiliary. Their needs are often pxeat, especially their human needs. Wo try to give them com fort both for the body and the mind. “Of course the government looks rft?r the physical welfare of the disabled men who are in hospitals | in almost every state, but there' are things which the government cannot provide, such as the un derstanding aid and the personal attention that so often helps a disabled man and which often fielps to keep a family together •when the chief breadwinner is Incapacitated. “This is what the money from the poppy sale helps to accom plish.

C. Agricultural labor is not covered under Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, and when farm hands return from war jobs to the farms what rights they have acquired under Old-Age and Survivors Insurance are soon dis sipated. Twelve million people working in American agriculture are still without protection against the personal causes of insecurity. When the head of a farm family is stricken with premature death, inability to work through disabil- ty or old age, all too frequently his resources are inadequate to meet such a situation. No pro gram to meet the risks of illness, accident, disability, old age, and premature death has yet been provided for America’s six million farm operators, their three-and- one-half to four-and-one-half million paid workers, and their one-and-one-half to two-and-one- Name Address Name of paper Pattern No. Size Send 15 cents in coin, (for each pattern desired) to— Patricia Dow Patterns 115) Sixth Ave., New York 19, N.

The Social Security Board has received many inquiries from farmers who have been working at war jobs asking absut their Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. The fact is, according to Miss Pressly, a majority of farm work ers who work part of the year in town or at v/ar jobs do not work long enough to qualify for Old- Age and Survivors Insurance. Ex tension of coverage for all agri cultural workers has been recom mended by the Social Security Board to Congress in its Eighth Annual Report and several bills have already been introduced de signed to protect farm workers, but no bill has yet passed Con gress. The Social Security Board be lieves that all persons who work for a living should be covered un der Old-Age and Survivors In surance. The Board has recom mended to Congress that coverage be extended to about twenty mil lion workers who are now unpro tected by social insurance, in cluding some six or seven million farm workers and domestic work ers and more than ten million self-employed persons. “The Board believes that,” said Miss Presely, “no important occupational group ranks lower in the scale of earn ing than farm workers and house hold workers, even when allow ance isx made for what these workers receive in the form of food and shelter. The Board also believes that the millions of self-employed who are now denied ihe benefits of social insurance are mostly operators cf small farms and stores, repair services, and shops, and that they likewise should be covered under the Old- Age and Survivors Insurance pro gram.” ALWAYS y /i BAKED ClanSSenS Ar wV 4 *' Bread t o d v. e R’ A* V e a :r s FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
