Area Increasing

ers Are Expanding", U. S.
Eeport Says.
Washington, Aug. 21. The area
devcted to the growing of winter
what ia increasing, according to es
timates made public Tuesday after
noon by the bureau of agricultural
economics. This is particularly true
in the semi-arid belt extending from
Texas through Oklahoma and Kan
sas to western Nebraska. The rea
son for the expansion in the westeru
states is that the cost of production
is 7eing reduced through thf use of
combines and power equipment.
In the period from 1923 to 1926
thw acreage seeded to winter wheat
for the entire country increased less
than 4.000,000 acres, while in Texas.
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska the
increase was more than 4.000,000
acres. The federal experts expect fur-thc-re
increases in these states.

Golden Text: A broken and a con
trlct heart, O God, thou wilt not dis
pse. Psalnu 51:17.
Home Sweet Home.
There is no place more sacred on
earth than the home where we were
born, where we grew as children,
with loving care of mother and the
protection of father, who cared for
us in sickness and in health, who
provided for our every want, and who
ministered to us in sickness, and in
every way cared for all our wants.
That person who wrote "Home, Sweet
Home" must have had a good home
or was wanting one very much. David
evidently came from ?uch a home,
for, did not God take him from the
home where he had charge of the
sheep, and make him a king, only
for David to forget the kindness and
love of the Father and sin against
the verv home which he had learned
to so dearly love. We surely do ad
mire the little fellow who looks out
for the interest of the home. The
ragmuifin, who, out with the other
dnall children who comes home with
a black eye or a bloody nose as a re
suit of protecting little brother or
sister from the abuse of some older
or bigger bully, looks a bright mark
in the galaxy of the small boy, and
into manhood, and the bigger things
of thi3 life. David with his trusty
eling and a well selected stone, not
only protected Israel from the aggres
sion of the Philistines, but he pro
tected the little flock of sheep which
had been instrusted in his care from
the encroachments of the lion and
the bear, and was at time preparing
himself for greater battles.
' David's Great Sin.
While Davfd had been brought
from the tending of the sheep on the
farm, for the purpose of making him
king and ruler over the children of
Israel, and the selection was one of
the best even at that, he had respect
for the rights of others as has been
amply demonstrated in the narratives
of tlie preceeding lessons. He had
achieved success, the nation was on
a sure foundation, for people as a
general thing were obedient to the
commands of the Great Jehovah, and
endeavored to follow Him. David
hrd succeeded when there was a bat
tie, he went forth in the thickest of
the fight and did valient battle for
the right, like the little lad who was
protecting little sister or brother,
and many the time he suffered for
his bravery.
However things were coming his
wry. and as he got the nation well
established, he having become older
had other people to go to war, and
as he was for a portion of the time
idle in his palace, which he had
builded. he had some temptation to
l beset him. for does not the saying
"The devil always finds work for
'. idle Il3nd3 tO do?"

Was Lriah, who it might ha

e
s
when he was called home on a pre
text, that he might cover the sins
which the two had committed, but he
would not go and enjoy the home
when his fellows in the army were
compelled to take the rough fare of
the field, and he slept at the gate ot
the palace of the king, and returned
to the brittle field leaving the two to
bear their sin. When David sent
word for Joab to place Uriah in the
forefront of the fight that he mia;ht
be killed, he perhaps little cared for
his home and his happiness was gone.
and lie thought he might die lighting
for the cause of the nation and his
fellow man. He was a Hittite and
not a Israelite. Ftill he proved him
self a great and better man than was
his king in this matter.
Nathan Brings it Home
Nathan, who was a man with
courage for he went to the great
king of Israel, and drew a parable
in which he illustrated the poor man
and a rich man, the poor man having
but one ewe Iamb, while the rich
man had an abundance of the good
things of this world, still the rich
man ttole the one ewe iamb for a'
meal for a visitor.
The illustration was so trite that
the king was completely taken un
awares by it and said that a man
who would dc a thing like that was
worthy to die for his ofTense, and
that he should restore the injury
done four fold. Then Nathan, the
true prophet and servant of Jehovah.
'f ?t1f,oft.e,t!u
tkeix Bls s-.$ . f7 a "
Then he began to read the trans&ct-
Ion to David in the light of the very
enormity of the offense.
David had pronounced the punish
ment which should follow the crime,
and it was not too severe, for one
who would break the home of an
other destroying the very center of
civilization, the home and in order
to cover his eln commit murder, sure
ly is not fit to be a member of so
ciety, for he is a menace to every
home in the land. David was quick
to say what should be done to the
culprit, until he found his was the
sin. When the matter was brought
to David In the manner which it was
by the prophet Nathan, he was quick
to ask forgivenness, and we have his
praver for the blotting out of hisdition8 without were far from plea-
great sin, in the fifty-first psalm, and
when one reads this he understands
how deeply penitent was David for
his sin.
Results of His Sin.
The sin, however, was committed,
he allowed the form of a beautiful
woman to lead him astray, and this
culminated in a sin of great material
ly bad effects, for it broke up a hap
py home, and in order to cover this
sin David committed another great
sin, and as many would say a great
er sin, but maybe not so great for
when the home of Uriah was broken
up his happiness gone for what did
he have to live, and the taking of
his life was not worse than the first.
Nathan then told David what was
the result of the sin, as David had
taken the life of his faithful general,
and broken his home, he could not
restore either, therefore as his hands
were red with the blood of Uriah, the
pronouncement was that the sword
would not leave the house of David.
The child of this unholy intrigue died
just when the father had learned to
love it, and the following years of
the life of David were filled with
grief, the matter of Absolem who re
belled against the father, and was
caught in a tree by his hair where
the soldiers found him and slew him,
was a very severe blow to the father,
but one which was but the reaping
of the deeds which he had sown. For
when one sows to the winds he i3
sure to reap to the whirlwinds. It
is the habit of chickens to come home
to roost, and what is in a person is
the thing which works for the worse.
What others pay about you or do to
ycu does not so much matter as what
ycu really are and what you do. Re
member you cannot serve two mas
ters, for if you serve one, you must
give allegiance to him, and when
the allegiance is divided, you will not
be true to either. Loyalty to a friend
a trust or an idea. Is one, of the
grandest things on earth. Be loyal
to God, loyal to your friends, lyoal
to the very honesty of your own be
ing, and you cannot be fal.e to any
one. KTJEEAY
