Jesus Sums Up Mis Claims
Lesson lor March 2: John 12:
22-16; 20-32.
Memory Selection: John 12:32.
On the day of the triumphal en
try. Jesus came as King into Jeru
salem. And the day ever speaks of
His claim to the royalty of heaven
and the right te rhle over men's
hearts. • ’ ; '
Later, as Jesus approached the
etoea, the Greeks at the temple gate
must have'cheered His heart. Rvl-
dently converts of the gate, they
were not allowed to enter the sacred -
places-of the sanctuary. But Jesus .
was soon to ghce^mihance to ah the-
Gentiles, even through the riven veil
to the Holy of holies.
The Greeks were dlfected to An
drew, who seemed to be known as ’
one who could introduce men to
Jesus. Can you do that? Personal.
wort: is needed in the churches. In
what ugly contrast with the Greeks
were the scheming and (^appointed -
Pharisees when they saw how thrf
world, had “gone out after" Jesus.
Following the request of the,
Greeks, Jesus began his last words
as a public teacher, perhaps first ad
dressing the Greeks. But after the
voice from heaven was heard, and ,
some si^d it thundered and others
that an angel’s voice had spoken,
the Lord spoke to the multitude of
the world’s judgment. His own sac
rificial death, and the drawing pow
er of His cross.
The lesson shows how Jesus
i summed up His claims to be the
I King who would establish a reign
j ef righteousness (which will cer-
‘ talnly preclude war) and as the
ictng crowned with thorns and
hanged on a cross that men who be
lieve in Him may have victory over
sin and death. $

SOLVING RIVAL PROBLEM' '
I met * man who knows how to handle people. He is James
Knott, who waa manager 6^ the Knott chain of hotels ! tn New
tVork^ City and viciftit|L
I asked Mr. I^nott to give me an example of how he' solved
some oroblems among. Jiip employes, and he told me the story
F Rival Pastry Cooks. ...
. He vyas trying to build up one of his hotels.
He had stepped up.pne department after an-
* l other, then finally he came to the ^a str y depart
ment. (In his hotels he had rnade a specialty of
pastry, and played it up in his ads.) He tasted
the pastry. Fine. Excellent." , / l t » . 7*
He spoke to the resident mahager
•bout the quality, of the pastry, and the
reaident manager shook his head. “That
department is causing me more trouble
than any other department in the hotel. There's a war
going on in the kitchen.”
"A war!” cried James Knott, and when he looked
into the situation ha found this was virtually true. The .
hotel had two pastry cooks and they were bitter rivals.
Bitter? They were deadly rivals. They were ready to
f
plunge a pie knife into each other** ribs.
His first the
_ .nought was to fife them both. But there was born
a second thought: they were both good pastry cooks, and he
needed both. If he let them go^e would have to take on two
more and there was no a'slurance the new ones would be as
good. Strife deeded to try to get them to cooperate instead of
fight. Now if you had to bring two warring pastry cooks to co
operate* how would you do it?
Without explaining what he had in mind, he had a talk
with each, separately. He found that each one considered him
self vastly superior to the other. But that got him nowhere.
Jhen he discovered that one of the min prided himself on his
pies* and the other on his cake. That was the key! He garnered
all the information he could about the men, then told them he
needed two chief pastry cooks. One a pie baker, and the other
a cake baker, each to be supreme in his own department. They
yvcrc to be judged by the results.
Both men were pleased. Each had saved his face, each was
top man in his field of work, and they were no longer rivals. In
stead of creating trouble, the two cooks began working togeth
er. .They determined to make this hotel surpass all others.
-HOW TCMUB*
CHILDREN AT PLAY
W HEN parents say to a child,
“Now run along and play,” they
usually think of “play” as some-
*. thing that keeps
a youngster oc
cupied s o m e -
where else and
gets him out
from under foot.
Few parents
realize that chil
dren’s play is
something they
ought to take quite seriously as an
Important part of their education
and growth.
‘ If you have ever watched young
children endlessly absorbed with
nothing but sand or water or mud.
splashing, digging and building, you
will see what real emotional satis
faction they get from Just the feel
, of something they can handle and
• from seeing what they can do with
it. Blocks, too, give them a sense of
, ‘power and achievement as they pile
, one block upon another and then
: kick them all down again. ‘
; As they grow older, children’s
play takes on a pattern of tho
, world am they see it. How their
- blocks are carefully put togeth
er. to represent n city or a hos-
< pital or an airport as they
dramatise their own living ex-
! perif nces. If you watch this play
; you will sometimes be surprised
to learn how the world looks to
them. You may even hear your
own words echoed as your five-
year-old punishes her doU or
tells off her playmates: “You-
behave now, or^TU spank you,"
or “I’ll tell your Daddy you're a
bad girL"
As children reach school age, they
need not only things but also chil
dren to play with. It Is through
playing with other children that ;
they learn many Important lessons • •
—how to get along with others, how ;
to lead and when to follow, how to ’•
share their possessibns. Most parents ■
recognize the Importance of this so- f
clal interplay and make a point of
seeing that their children have •
companionship. Sometimes this
means going to a great deal of trou
ble to Invite other children in, or to
live in a. neighborhood where there •
are sine to be playmates.
This does^not mean, however, that.
we should select our children’s play-1
mates for them. Our job Is to see <
that they have plenty of opportuni
ties to select their own. We don’t al- ,
ways know what makes certain Chil
dren “click” and others not. Chil
dren themselves often can’t explain
why they choose one boy or girl to .
play with and not another. But they
are likely to have definite feelings
on the subject, and these feelings
should be respected. v '^ -
Sometimes our beet friend's \
child k not a welcome playmate, 7
while some haram sea rum '»
youngster down tho block le
more to their liking — though
maybe not to ours. We needn’t
be too worried when our child
teams up with someone who is
boisterous or slangy. Neither j;
should we be surprised when our
young hopefuls choose play- [
mates whose ancestry or eco
nomic status Is different from J
our own. Especialy to the young, '•
differences of race or religion or >
social status are not important
—unless we make them so. I*
The capacity for wholehearted,
spontaneous play Is one of our out-’
standing American talents and wa
do well to foster it in our children.

ministration Families
Set Record In
Farm Production
Columbia, Feb. 18.—R. F. Kolb,
State ' Director of the Farmers
Hbtae 'Administration, has an
nounced that families enrolled in
the program last year set an all
time record in farm, production
and reached a new high in farm
income. o :.
Total value of farm production
was $23,782,895 or an average value
per family of $3,444. This repre
sents an increase of $4,821,330 in
the total value of crops, livestock
and poultry products sold and
consumed in the home over 1945,
Mr. Kolb said. It also represents
an increase of $574 per family over
1945. ' ! ^ :
The report covers the produc
tion of 6,905 South Carolina fam
ilies who were enrolled in 1945.
Cotton was the largest item of
income. Mr. Kolb said the aver
age per acre production was in
creased from 214 to 303 pounds of
lint per acre and the families pro
duced an average of six bales per
family. For the cotton and seed
th*»y received $7,601,430.
Tobacco was second as a source
of income. Here production was
stepped up frbm 977 pounds per
acre in 1945 to 1.006 poimds per
acre in 1946. It is interesting to
note that the per acre production
has increased steadily since 1943
when only 784 pounds per acre
were produced and in 1944 they
produced 805 pounds per acre. The
value of the tobacco crop grown
by these families last year was
given as $3,835,481. Corn was
third in importance with produc
tion valued at $2,450,237 and av
eraging 17 bushels per acre and
milk was fourth.
Mr. Kolb’s report shows a steady
increase in .production per cow
from 363 gallons in 1943 to 447 in
1946. There has also been some
increase in the number of milk
cows on the family type farms, he
said, with the result that milk
production per family has been
stepped up from 534 gallons in
1943 to 709 gallons last year. Total
value of milk produced was $1,-
764,539. Other items providing a
substantial part of the farm in
come and the increase in produc
tion per family last year over the
preceding year were: eggs from
233 dozen to 242 dozen, broilers
from 233 to 275 pounds; beef cat-
tie from 209 to 302 pounds, pea
nuts from 616 pounds to 798
pounds per acre, small grain
(other than wheat) ; 21 to 26
bushels per acre, sweet potatoes
from 86 to 97 bushels per acre,
Irish potatoes from 71 to 99 bush
els per acre, syrup from 67 to 76
gallons per acre.
Slight decreases in production
were reported for the following.
items: wheat from 14 bushels to
13 bushels per acre, hay from .84
to .77 tons, rice from 8.6 bushels to
3.6 bushels per acre.
“For me these figures possess
coniderable significance,” Mr. Kolb
said. “They reflect definite prog
ress by Farmers Home Administra
tion borrowers in their production
effort. The remarkable gain each
year in value of production is, of
course, accounted for both through
rising prices and inrreased yields
per acre or per animal unit. While
it is true that we have enjoyed fa
vorable weather conditions we are
convinced that these results have
been obtained largely through soil
building and better farm and
home practices as advocated by
our field personnel.”
