Golden Telxt: Matthew 4:4. \ Three things are given in the les son text to show the program of Jesus for meeting life’s problems—j the Temptation, Sermon on the Mount, and His rejection at Naza- • reth. j The devil tempted Jesus to use His Divine Power to speed His min istry—by turning stones into bread, making a display to impress the people, and compromising with evil. In the words of Scripture Je sus vanquished the tempter in each assault. Jesus as a man overcame the tempter or His temptation would be no example unto us. And He overcame as a man in perfect union with God. And the more we ap proach unto perfect union with God, the more we shall be like Jesus, the more we shall be able'to over come our temptations. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives the remedy for anxiety. If we seek first the kingdom of ^od, we shall find relief from anx ious thought because in thinking about others we shall have no time 'for our own worries, and we have the promise of Jesus that when ( we seek the kingdom first we shall be given needful things. Jesus does not forbid seeking needful things, but He does teach that we must seek the kingdom first. In His rejection at Nazareth (Luke 4:18, 19) Jesus gave the purpose of His ministry—a purpose of healing, in an ascending scale. Christian • service should lead to the service of the soul. Sad indeed was His rejection by the people of the city in • which He had been brought up. But He escaped their violence and went on to minister unto those who would receive Him. t Sports Dress Good-looking model with 10 but tons down the left side, square neck with buttoned-over-the-shoulder straps.

To buy carefully, to take good care of the things we have and to waste nothing are principles of good old-fashioned thrift that ev ery housewife might well continue to practice. There are innumerable ways to avoid waste in our homes without sacrificing comfort or pleasure. Food, power, materials and energy can be used wisely and saved or used extravagantly and wasted. More often than not our habits are responsible for needless waste. Those of us who are dependent on electricity for light, fuel for cooking and power in mechanical refrigera tion can save this electricity in many ways. We can learn to turn off electric lights when we’re not using them. We can take extra pains to keep the light bulbs, reflecting bowls and shades clean. We can suit the watt strength of the light to the need. Small things, these, largely hab its, but they add up over a period of months. We can also save fuel for cook ing heat if we plan carefully. If at all possible do most of your baking dpring the non-p>eak-load hours. Use your oven to capacity when you use it, cooking several things at once and have food ready as soon as oven is at right temperature. Don’t keep opening oven door oftener than necessary. Use flat bottom pans that fit the heating unit and be sure the cov ers fit closely. When you need only a small amount of water, heat just that amount in a covered utensil. The sediment that collects in the bottom of the tea kettle acts as a non-conductor of heat so keep the tea kettle free from any coating de posited from boiling water. Since a dull surface absorbs heat more readily than a shiny one, don’t scour the bottoms of pans until they shine. { When you start to cook turn t t he electric unit on high. Then turn the i unit to low or medium as soon as cooking begins and turn the current off before the food is quite done. Use the large unit for large pans and the small units for small pans,) fitting the pan to the unit so that’ you won’t waste heat. Make a practice of always turn* ing off burners and elements before' food is removed from the range. If you use a gas range keep the Came at a height that just main tains a cooking temperature and don’t use a large burner if a sim mer burner will do. Keep burners clean and unclogged. ’ - •. Early Cotton Stalk Destruction Hinges On Varied Viewpoints Clemson, Sept. 30. — Different agricultural viewpoints are respon sible for the early destruction of cotton stalks in South Carolina, notes W. C. Netties. pytor»e:i<5 n ser vice entomolc serv^o 0 f the more coir.i.ion r:asons for this practice. “The stalk chopper is running close behind the pickers,” is the answer given by some farmers in the coastal section of the state to the advice that thorough stalk destruction stops breeding and feeding of boll weevils, Mr. Nettles explains. Those farmers realize that a complete early job is more difficult under existin? conditions than it was in the past. Other farmers are performing the same operations with the same result on the weevil, but with a different major objective. Their main desire is to prepare a good seedbed for small grain. They are not the farmers who ask if turn ing under green cotton stalks will ruin the land. Most likely they are the same growers who know that several weeks should pass be fore planting seed after turning into the soil large amounts of green plant material. Even more likely do they belong to that large and constantly in creasing group which believes that some of the best small grain on the farm is produced following cotton. All of these farmers are making use of the old adage, “killing two birds with one stone”; and one of the birds is not a bird at all, but the boll weevil, which won’t be there when cotton starts fruiting next season. \ “Most influences on the food supply can be predicted only to a limited degree. Short-term changes in the food supply are sometimes unexpected. For this reason it is well to look twice at any statement that says v hat the food situation will be six weeks or six months from now.” — OPA statement.
