Grandma’s Sayings
He was so young to have the heavy burden he was carrying, but
Martha didn't realize her son was strong mentally as well as physically,
nor that he could keep a secret as well as the next person.
by side with Big Joe, and they
had sacrificed everything, denying
themselves the very necessities of
life in order to make the payments
on the farm. Then little Joey had
come to crown their happiness. A
mutual pride and joy which they
had shared in watching other things
grow on the farm had then been
centered in Joey.
Martha had decided that life was
practically perfect until one day
big Joe had come in from his work
in mid-morning. Surprised to see
him, Martha had inquired what was
wrong. Joe just stared oS into
space, and then he answered.
“Martha, there’s something wrong
with me. I’m weak and tired all the
time, and I keep coughing and
coughing.”
For the first time Martha noticed
how tired Joe really did look. She
suggested that he see a doctor at
once, but big Joe said he probably
just had spring fever. The following
«« JOEY, supper will be ready in
J half an hour,” called Martha
to her son who was entering the
spring house with a bucket of milk
in each hand.
“O. K., Mom,” shouted the lad
in response, “I’m through with the
milking. I’ll be in as soon as I
clean up.”
Martha watched him a few min
utes later as he trudged toward the
house. He was big for 14, and with
faithful "Shep” trotting along at
his heels, Joey made an impressive
picture against the backdrop of the
setting sun.
"Just like a magazine cover,”
thought Martha, as tears of pride
welled up into her eyes. Her little
man. Joey had shouldered a burden
during the past year that many a
man could not have handled as well.
The plowing, planting, fence re
pairs, and the thousand odd chores
that must be completed on a farm
had all been mastered by Joey. He
seemed to almost relish his role as
man of the house while dad was
away.
Day after day he had toiled in
the fields with the team while other
boys his age were swimming, fish
ing, and berrying, unhampered by
the cares of labor. But Joey bad
seemed impervious to their com
ings and goings. Many evenings at
the supper table, Martha noticed
the boy dozing from exhaustion. A
spoon or fork would often pause,
suspended mid-way between mouth
and table. She never gave utterance
to this observation of weariness,
lest her sympathy extinguish his
feeling of being the family bread
winner. Their conversations were
those of business partners rather
than mother and son.
Martha longed to tuck him in at
night, or to hug his tow head to
her breast. Little Joey was her only
consolation in her longing for Big
Joe. Countless times during the
lonely nights, she had tiptoed quiet
ly into his room to stand beside the
bed where he slept. Often she ca
ressed his blond head or kissed him
lightly on the cheek as he lay deep
in the refreshing sleep of child
hood. Each time, she struggled
within herself to check the tears
of love and loneliness as she slipped
quietly back to her own empty
room, fearful lest she waken him
and bring his big world tumbling
down around him.
Joey was living frorft day to day
in a world of big responsibility, and
she could not, in spite of her long
ing to be more demonstrative to
ward her 14-year-old, jolt him into
reality. She told herself that was
the reason why she had never told
Joey about his father.
Well-meaning friends had tried to
persuade Martha to sell the farm
and move to town. Her troubles
dated from the day she had re
ceived the telegram from the Ari
zona hospital. Big Joe was never
coming back! He had a hopeless
case of tuberculosis—it was just a
matter of months. But how could
she tell Joey? The knowledge of
her unshared grief had caused her
to shed thousands of inner tears In
Joey’s presence, and endless nights
of heart-breaking sobs in her own
room. But she felt that, somehow,
they must keep the farm that held
so many fond memories.
The first days after she and Joe
were married had seemed almost
impossible. The work at the barn
and in the fields had continued end
lessly. At first, she had worked side
come. Big Joe would never be com
ing back. There were those who
thought Martha cruel for not tell
ing the boy that his Dad wasn’t
coming home. At times, she thought
she must tell him, but she post
poned it, feeling that, somehow, the
right time would come ... a time
when he might be strong enough
to stand the heartbreak. Perhaps
in a few weeks before Joey re
turned to school, or when Miller
moved in to sharecrop the farm.
The summer had come and gone
swiftly. Already the first sugges
tion of impending autumn was no
ticeable in the coloring of the
countryside. The crops had been
abundant, and the harvests were
good for Joey and Martha. Many
had bestowed compliments and
Joey glowed with pride when the
men had remarked about the size
of the yield during the threshing
season.
Returning home from a Saturday
shopping trip, the two were mak
ing big talk about the coming
school term.

Saturday when they went to towA
she had persuaded him to stop in
to see old Doc Crane.
It hadn’t taken Doc long to de
cide that Joe should have some
X-rays. The following month the
X-rays were taken by the county
health officer in the new mobile unit,
and Doc Crane’s fears had been
substantiated. Doc suggested Ari
zona. ’ t
Martha could still remember
those two weeks when she and Joe
had planned how they could make
out if she could keep the farm go
ing. Her father would help and
little Joey would continue to school.
Big Joe was not to worry, but ex
ert all (ris effort toward getting
well again.
The first year, things had gone
very smoothly indeed, until the
rheumatism laid her father on the
shelf. Martha was desperate. All the
spring work lay ahead, and it was
impossible to find anyone to take
over the work. She had talked it
over with Joey, and together they
had decided to go U alone. She
could still hear little Joey as he
said.
“Gee, Mom, I’m big enough to
do the work. Grampa let me plow
some last year, and I’m lots big
ger and stronger now.”
So Joey had become the man of
the family. Then the telegram had
My Creed

Weighing upon my heart will lift at lait;
That I shall waken on some glad tomorrow,
Happy once more, the troubled darkness pafi

thought Martha, as tears of pride
er, weren’t we, Mom?" asked Joey.
“Yes, son," replied his mother,
"And not a bit too soon either, j
don’t know what I would have done
with you going back to school it
we hadn’t found someone to take
over this winter."
Suddenly Martha knew that the
time had come to tell Joey the un
happy secret which she had carried
now for more than a year in her
grief-stricken heart. But how coqjd
she bring herself to do it? She must
strive to make it as easy as pos
sible.
She swung the car into their
lane, and pulled to a stop in the
yard before the kitchen door. The
purchases were quickly unloaded,,
and Joey lighted a fire In the big
kitchen range. Now was the time!
Even before she removed her
wraps, Martha laid her arms across
Joey’s shoulders, and began.
"Joey, dear, there’s something
I’ve been wanting to tell yoij for a
long time. I’ve been so proud of
you this summer, and I . . . Well,
somehow it seemed I just couldn’t
spoil everything you were working
so hard for with bad news. Now
you’re going back to school, and
we’re so fortunate to have Miller
coming. \
‘1 want you to work hard at
school this fall," she continued as
she noted the questioning look in
his eyes. Then she simply related,
“God decided that you and I had a
job to do together, Joey . . . Your
Father will never be able to come
home. In fact,” she continued as
she struggled to hold back the tears,
"he may have only a few more
months to live.”
There was a long moment of si
lence ... a moment which lasted
an eternity for Martha. “Oh, dear
God, make him understand,” she
prayed silently.
Joey didn’t say a word but drew
his mother's face to his own and
kissed her, tenderly and boyishly.
He patted her softly on the cheek.
“Aw, gee. Mom, I understand,"
he said, and the tears stood in the
comers of his eyes. Martha could
see how brave he was trying to be.
“Now I better take care of my feed
ing,” he said somewhat hoarsely.
“Can we have the pecan roll we got
in town for our supper. Mom?” he
asked as he changed from his suit
coat into his overall jacket. The
coat was thrown carelessly across
the seat of a nearby chair. Martha
watched him walk slowly from the
room, a firm set to his shoulders.
“He took it like a man,’’ she
thought, as she removed her own
wraps. Then she saw his coat lying
on the chair, and smiled, thinking,
“He acts like a man in some ways,
but when it comes to his clothes,
he’s all boy.” She picked up the
coat to hang it properly. As she did
so, a small notebook and some pa
pers tumbled from the inside
pocket. Gathering them up to re
place them, Martha was startled at
the sight of the yellow envelope.
Could it be?
It was! Among the contents of
Joey’s pocket was the well-worn and
much read telegram from the tu

In Remembrance
Lesson for January 9, 1949.
Dr. Foreman
J ESUS OF NAZARETH was the
Unforgettable Man. All our in
formation about him as he lived
in Galilee comes from four small
booklets known as
the Gospels. There
was a little more
about him in the
letters of Paul, and
a few additional
sayings of his have
been preserved in
papyrus fragments
in Egypt. But the
main source of our
historical knowl
edge of Jesus is in
these four Gospels. All put to
gether they do not make a big
book; but any one of them by it
self is a gre: t book.
Who Remembered Him?
I T BOTHERS some people to dis
cover what scholars have always
known, that our Gospels as we
have them are based on earlier
writings and spoken traditions. But
this gives us an even better reason
for trusting the reliability of these
records. They were not made up
for the first time a generation or
more after Jesus’ resurrection.
They go back to the lifetime of
thousands who personally knew
Jesus.
The farther back scholars
Am trace the origins of the
Gospels, the more historically
reliable they are proved to be.
Some of the Information
worked into our Gospels came
from personal reminiscences;
this is the case with large
parts of Matthew and John. In
the case of Mark, the early
story in the church was that
as a young companion of
Peter on missionary journeys,
/ Mark jotted down the stories
which Peter told about Jesus.
At any rate the Gospel of Mark
contains just the sort of things
that a man like Peter would be
likely to remember. Luke himself,
a missionary doctor and great
friend of Paul, never knew Jesus
personally, but lived for two years
in Palestine and gathered the ma
terials for his Gospel while there
were still hundreds of people there
who remembered Jesus well.
• • •
What They Remembered
J OHN teUs us that it would be
impossible to write down all
that was then known of Jesus’
life. Out of the 400 days (at least)
during which Jesus’ public min
istry lasted, not over 40 are re
corded, even in part.
Yet what these men did re
call and record is enough to
reveal a matchless Person. A
fifth Gospel might enlarge our
knowledge of Jesus; but it
would not greatly change It.
Jesus never wrote a book, not
even a letter so far as we know;
yet such words of his as were
remembered have influenced
the world.
Jesus’ entire public ministry
lasted a shorter time than it takes
to go through college; yet what
he did has had a deeper effect on
the world than the work of any
university graduate in history.
Jesus started no corporation, no
formal organization; yet out of his
fellowship have grown the greatest
institutions in the world.
• • •
Why They Remembered
T HE STORY of Jesus was re
membered and recorded by his
followers partly because they could
not help it. They could not forget
him and did not want to forget
him. One thing is true of all those
who lovingly cherished these mem
ories of the Master: they loved and
adored him.
No unbeliever ever wrote •
Gospel. Pilate wrote no life of
Christ. Even if Judas had lived,
he could not have written one.
Our Gospels were written by
men of faith, for the purpose of
calling ont faith in others.
“These things were written
that ye may believe that Jesus
is the Son of God” (John 29:
21).
In one sense of the word we
could write a better Gospel now.
for today 19 centuries of Christian
experience are behind us, and those
centuries are full of the doings of
Christ through his church. The
four Gospels tell us of what Jesus
did in Galilee. But now we can tell
the story of what Christ has done
in Africa and Greenland and Aus
tralia and America. Reading the
Gospels is interesting, it is im
portant; but the reading has not
bit the bull’s-eye if it leave you, the
reader, merely better informed
than you were.

Ringold Lady Dora

V First of her Hampshire breed to

gold Lady Dora No. 753,056 has
raised a total of 71 pigs to wean

spring pigs and 6.39 fall pigs per
litter raised to weaning age.
To qualify for a star in the Hamp
shire production registry a sow
must raise a litter of at least eight
pigs, without fault or defect, to
weigh 320 pounds within 56 days
of farrowing. And of course to gain
a "seven-star” record Ringold
Lady Dora has repeated this per
formance seven times. She is the
first sow in the Hampshire breed
to be listed for either the sixth or
seventh “star” litters.
In her seventh “star” litter, this
sow farrowed 15 pigs, nine of which
were saved. The eight selected for
registration weighed 443 pounds
at 56 days after farrowing.
The production champion was fed
a ration containing com, oats, al
falfa and pelletized milk by
products prior to farrowing. Her
pigs were creep fed early? and
raised on a ration of seven parts
com and three parts oats, with 8
per cent milk by-products added.
Ringold Lady has been owned
and bred by William C. Goodheart,
Jr., of Eaton, Ohio, since 1944, and
was sold to Meadowlark Farms,
Inc., Sullivan, Ind.
Farm Production Costs
Farm production costs have near
ly tripled since the pre-war years
of 1935-39, according to U. S. de
partment of agriculture statistics.
These costs totaled 14.9 billion dol
lars in 1947, compared with 5.2 bil
lion before World War II’s out
break. Farm wages Are now three
and a half times the 1935-39 aver
age.
Meanwhile, farm prices have
slumped and many economists ex
pect a further easing in months
ahead. Com and wheat are already
25 to 40 per cent under their early
1948 peaks.
Farmers can best meet the im
pact of higher production costs and
lower prices by good soil manage-

COST'S
ment that steps up crop producing
efficiency and lowers output costs
per unit
Good soil management involves
no magic or mystery. It simply
means playing fair with the soil by
returning organic matter and plant
nutrients used up by constant crop
production. Organic matter can be
restored by growing deep-rooted
legumes such as alfalfa or sweet
clover in the rotation and plowing
them under for green manure.
When the soil is restocked with
organic matter and plant food you
will get higher yields and you will
cut your production costs.
Dry Skim Milk Retailed
Now in Small Packages
Now that dry skim milk—official
ly called non-fat dry milk solids—
is on retail markets in small pack
ages for home use, thrifty home
makers have a convenient, eco

tritive value of family meals.
The ease and convenience of its
use as well as its high nutritive
value justify its place along with
flour, sugar and salt on the pantry
shelf of every homemaker.

Two little girls were being taken
away from London, and as a spe

them a couple of bananas — the
first they had ever had.
As soon as one child had taken
a bite of her banana the unlighted

“Oo, Mary,” she said, "have you
eaten yours yet?”
“No,” replied Mary.
"Well, don’t,” added Jane.
“They make you blind.”
