Paysinger, Distributor Bible Comment: There is No Place in Religion For Hate A PLAUSIBLE philosophy of life has said, “Be good and you will be happy.” But if happiness consists in being free from danger and im mune from pain, the sufferings of good men have revealed how false is that easy adage. A deep mystery of life is that the innocent have suffered with the guilty. It is the mystery of the Cross and the suffering and sacrifice of Christ Himself The hostility that Jesus aroused in His prejudiced, fel low townsmen as He began His ministry in Nazareth continued on the part of many throughout His ministry. Strange to say, it was the finest things that He did that aroused the most violent opposition. Religion ought to make men humane, kind, considerate, ready and eager to help one another. But, unfortunately, if has often made them bitter and full of hatred. It was not unnatural that the claims of Jesus should be ques tioned by some, as they had been by His own brothers. But why should His pronouncement of the forgiveness of sins have aroused such hatred? If He-had no power to forgive sins, the sins would not be for given. To question His author ity was one thing—to hate Him was another. The opposition of certain Scribes and Pharisees and offi cial religious authorities had some justification. They were the official representatives of re ligion. As Jesus HimseLP said, they “sat in Moses’ seat.” The mistake that they made was in ignoring the actual words and deeds, in being blind to the authority of goodness, and in hating One whom the people heard gladly. Are we wiser than those of old? Is religion our response to the goodness of God, or is it dominated by prejudice and bigotry?

During 1952, 29 million in dividual policies of insurance were purchased by Americans, amounting to $34.4 billion. This was the seventh straight year, during which purchases of new life insurance were at least double those of twelve years ago. The 1952 purchases were triple those of 1940. Our national debt has reached a new high of $272.5 billion; but do you know that life insurance ownership in the U. S. has ac tually gone beyond that, to the staggering figure of $276.6 bil lion, on the lives of 88 million policy owners? This has raised the average individual’s protec tion from $780 in 1902, to $3,100 in 1952. During these seven years, all forms of thrift have gained. But policyholders* funds in life insurance have risen 63%, while the increase for the other major types of long-term savings com bined has been 36%. So you see, it is not only Smart but Popular to own life insurance. CAPHAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY “Founded on Faith—Dedicated to Service” COLUMBIA, S. C. WILD GEESE RETURN On this October full moon, the wild geese are pouring back into the Gaddy pond at Ansonville. Not by the dozens nor hundreds, but by the thousands! You recall, it was 1934 that the first nine geese lit down on that farm pond. Mr. Gaddy did not shoot at them, but threw corn to them. They stayed. Next year they came back with their increase. And since then the full moon in October has seen them return with increased numbers. Last year it was estimated that over 12,000 came. This year there should be more. ' I have caused many to go there to see that great sight. None have been disappointed. It is at Anson ville, North Carolina. That’s eight miles above Wadesboro. And Wadesboro is 19 miles from our Chesterfield. From Columbia, An sonville is 109 miles, from Flor ence 79, and from Spartanburg it is 148 miles. From the south and east, you go through Chesterfield. From the west you go through Lancaster and Pageland. With all the ponds we have over this part of the country, it seems a pitty more folks don’t of fer these great wild creatures a safe, place to light. MOW PASTURES Some of the pastures we pre pared and seeded some years ago are getting rather weedy. The mowing machine is our best rem edy for thar. The past summer bitterweed was more prevalent in pastures than it has been since we first started preparing, liming, ferti lizing, and seeding them. Woodle tells me one reason for that is that it is a poverty plant and very drought-resistant. When drought strangled other plants there, the bitterweed had full sway. But given moisture those prepared pastures will hold it down pretty well, specially if we mow them. HEAP MUCH WOODLAND It’s good we are now giving some attention to forestry. Out of our 20 million acres of land in South Carolina, 12 million acres are in woodlands. The first resident forester in South Carolina was Henry Tryon. that the late Dr. W. W. Long brought here as Clemson exten sion forester in September 1924. He controlled the few - interested citizens in that subject and they got the legislature interested. The upshot of that was, in a few years they set up our state forestry commission. And since then we have made considerable progress in the proper conservation and use of our valuable timber re- • sources. GRAIN STORAGE Harper and Bowers have in creased their grain elevator stor age space at Estill to 715,000- bushels capacity. Their equipment and facilities for handling, drying, cleaning and storing all sorts of grain and seeds are of the very latest sort. I have seen many outfits like this in the Midwest. But they are older, and none that I’ve seen are so up to date in every detail as this vast structure at Estill. You really feel like you are out in the grain belt when you stand there and look up to those many great concrete towers. Our grain acreage has doubled in recent years in South Carolina. Not only that, but the .yields are up over 50 percent. Now, folks, that adds up to a lot of grain. The great need now is for adequ ate safe storage. They tell me that vast facility at Estill has had to turn away grain and seeds seek ing storage all along. It stays loaded to the gills. And the way prices have behaved in recent years, that has meant money to a lot of folks. LIKES SERICEA County Agent Willis of Chester field told me they sure liked les- pedeza sericea.' During the past three dry summers. It has saved many a cattleman. It kept on when all other grazing failed. Clifford Smith of Newberry calls it "the poor man’s alfalfa.” “Cut right, it makes good hay,” he says. J.- W. Little of Cheraw is another enthusiast for it. He grows a lot of it for seed and has a seed-cleaning establishment. He says, “You must lime it,” for best results. He says it . has made $10 an acre land Into $100 per acre BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Week before last we started through the paths of childhood. I didn’t have room to finish, I saw so much along those hallowed paths when I went there of late. So let’s tarry there a bit more to day. From the wooded spot, where the old schoolhouse stood, I walk ed on to the back of the place. The early leaves of autumn were gent ly falling yellow and crimson in the dim path, thought of the two- score seasons that had passed since I walked there as a dream ing barefoot boy. The honey locust was ripening on the self-same tree, but the old persimmon was mark ed only by its rotting stump. Away back there, where the field we called the New Ground was, young timber had come across the old cotton beds that you could still see there, padded with a soft cushion of straw. Ahd the same pile of rocks we had put in a terrace break, when that was a field, made a mound there and was overgrown with vines. From clean culture, and what not, the spring has long ago dried up. There I had lingered often as a kid, getting out of work in the fields. And on hack across the Sites place I went. The old log- house was gone and a wilderness land for him. His seed yields run from 1,900 pounds per acre on damp river bottoms to 500 pounds per acre on light sandy lands. of briers and bushes was all that marked the fruitful old homestead of long ago. I walked on down where a wonderful scaly-bark tree used to grow on the terrace. The field had come to pines, and had been cut. And couldn’t even find where the fine scaly-bark tree had been. Along through child hood’s delightful years, we never let any of those nuts go to waste. I swung back through the bot tomlands that border our creek. Saplings had become great trees there and had been cut And a new growth was dense The creek had about dried up, as it did once when I was a kid, and I thought I could see a rough line of rocks across the channel where we once built a crude dam Back up to where we had lived didn’t seem as far nor steep. And what used to be “the big field didn’t look big at all then. Memories, memories! I like to travel back through them at times.
