Raines asked the congre gation to offer a silent prayer for the shut-ins, before he deliv ered his message for the morning. His srmon was taken from Isaiah 42:4. Theme: Is Christianity a Failure? Everyone’s name on the Church roll are not Christians. It is often said that Christianity Ls a failure. Christ said He shall not fail nor be discouraged. Jesus would never have suffered as he did if Christianity was to be a failure. Should peace come to the world, it will have to come through those who know Christ. It is easy to understand why some say Christianity is a failure. Of all the weaknesses in Christianity it is better to be one. What would become of the world if Christian ity was a failure? More men and woman believe in Christ today than ever before. There are some people in th Church that believe in Christ today than ever before. There are some people ,in the Church that believe in Christ. God said through Jesus that be fore his word fail, Heaven and Earth will pass away. Christian ity does pay and Christianity is not a failure. This message was delivered hy Rev. Raines before, and it was requeshted again. There is much to gotten from this sermon.

Bring Christ to the Nations ST. LOUIS, Mo—An appeal for greater trust in God’s proidence was issued today by the Rev. E. T. Bernthal, Pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church, Detroit, Mich igan, and summer guest speaker on Bringing Christ to the Nations the International Lutheran Hour. Speaking over the Mutual Broadcasting System and affilia ted stations. Pastor Bernthal de dared: “If there ever was a time when all of us in the world need ed faith in God’s providence, that is today. What we need above all today is to become a people of ‘ great faith, living lives of love, complete self-giving, trusting al ways in God’s providence. Having such a trust in our own hearts, it is ours to make America a people of great faith. Only a people of great faith can begin to contemplate a just and durable peace. If it is true that the Nazis were unable to knock Christian ity out of their people by force, it is unlikely that Hitlerism or atheistic Communism can be driven out of Europe by people of little or faith. It is impossible to cast out devils by Beelzebub now as it was in the time of Christ.” Commenting on current econ omic plans, Pastor Bemthal con tinued: “Would you like to see in this starving world of ours freedom front want? Let me tell you that such freedom from want shall depend far more on our obedience and trust in God than on sound economy. In fact, trust in God's sound economy. You say that it is impractical. It is no more impractical than to say, as Jesus saidit, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteous ness. and all these things shall be added unto you.’’ Pastor Bernthal concluded: “If America would meet her destiny in the world, then let her catch a vision of what can be for the whole. Out of a world full of the little dreams of men, private wish ful dreams, the laborer with his dreams, the employer with his the underpriviliged classes with their dreams, the privileged class es with theirs—to each man his dream—from a world full of the vague, half-hearted dreams of a world witheut war and a human ity without hate, let us today in His Holy Word catch a vision, Which transcends them all for daring and prity of motive, on visioned for His Church by the Lord Himself. Let us dedicate ourselves once more to the pro position that beyond and above the kingdoms of the world, stands the kingdom of our God, eternal, unchanging, whose King is a King wearing a crown of thorns, whose scepter brooks |no chal lenge, whose greatest law is a law of love and who will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ BROTHERLY BEHAVIOR HUNTING HAPPINES8 Who doesn’t want to be happy? While most of us do not realize it, we are all trying to be happy and seeking happiness in one pr a nother form practically all of the ! time. » * W Contentment is the maximum that people can gain in life and this depends more upon a correct attitude toward life than upon an abundance of possessions, which are usually though to be indispen sable to it. Happiness is a most elusive thing, really a will o’ the wisp. It never comes when sought for its own sake, directly, but always as a by-product of some unselfish act, some deed of kindness or of sacrificial service. Yet most folks go on chasing this thing and that, spending val uable—and irreplacable—time, and thought, and mbney, in seeking spirit. The more we live for and by oursehies the more certain we can be that we shall be unhappy. I Som of the most miserable per J sons to be seen are those with most to live for. Sensible sugges tions on how to overcome the boredom of women, in a news paper’ column, so often recom j mended living more for others. HILL SIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 2760 Lake Street Rex. Cha».

The South is beginning to ask itself many questions: How far away is complete mech anization of the Cotton Belt—five years or 20? Where will the tenant farmer go when the machines roll in and root them out of the hedgecrows7 How many farm workers will be displaced—one million or five —and can expanding industry in the South lap up the overflow? There is general aggreemen on some points. Congress Asked To Help Mechanization definitely is mov ing into the South—the last major stronghold of manual farm labor. Hands geared to pick and hoe must find something el?e to do. A special study group headed by Dr. Frank J. Welch, dean of the School of Agriculture at l^iss issippi State, told a House sub committee that two million farms in he South would be thrown out of work in 20 years. The group urged Congress to get busy and do something about it—find jobs for those disposs essed by machines, set up Federal loan insurance for small business es, put an end to “monopolistic practices” in th South. Others see a quicker and bigger turnover. Thomas Linder, secre tary of Agriculture for Alabama, predicts five million land workers will go on relief in five years. Many agree with Mr. Linder. They foresee early migration of farm laborers to the industrial ized North in wholesale numbers. One Does Work Of 75 The cotton economists quote these statistic®: The Souh’s major crop requires five times as much labor as wheat and thraa and one-half times as much as com to produce an equal gross income. The greatest strides in cotton mechanization have been made in th rich Mississippi Delta and the high plains of Texas and Okla homa. The giant spindle-type picker used mostly in the Delta can do the work of 75 hand laborers. The smaller strippers, popular in the Southwest where there are now between 10 and 15 thousand in operation, are almost equally as effective. Flame throwers and rotary weeders replace scores of men with the hoe. Lime Essential Lima Is essential on acid soils for proper growth of many crop and »asture plants. To promote this de lired growth, sufficient lime should s« applied to change the add condi tion Jo a near neutral point. Under aaost conditions in thet upland area the addition ef lima to' the aofl else provides calcium lor plant growth.

The Veteran Asks... Q. Under what conditions is a veteran entitled to out- pati ent treatment from the Vet erans Administration? A. A veteran whose disabili ties are service-connected may recieve out-patient medical, sur gical and dental service for the service-connected diseases or in juries. Treatment may be given at a Veterans Administration field station, or VA may author, ize it to be given by a physician or dentist in the applicant’s home town. Q. I am a World War 11 vet eran and have been sick for five months. At the end of my six . th month of total disability, will I have to go on paying my National Service Life In surance premiums, or is a waiver granted automatical ly? A. No automatic waiver of premiums is ever granted. A vet eran must be disabled for six months before he may apply for a waiver of premiums. You are entitled to file a claim for refund of those premiums you paid from the date on which the waiver be comes effective. Q. I have been thinking of converting my National Ser vice Life Insurance term pol icy to a 20-payment life policy which ras a higher premium rate. If I make the conversion will I be required to pay the difference in premiums for all time I carried the term policy? A. No. When you convert to a permanent policy, you will be re quired to pay only the first pre mium on the new policy. The pro mium rate on the permanent pol icy will be figured according to your age at the time you make the conversion, and not according to the age at which you original ly took out the term policy. Q. Must a veteran put any of his own money into a busi ness, a home or a farm in order to get a Veterans Ad ministration loan guaranty ? A. This is not a requirement for guaranty. It is a matter that the veteran settles with the lender. The only bearing it has on the guaranty of the loan is that in the case of a farm or a business, it may effect the likelihood of the veteran’s success in the ven r ture. Q. I was a prisoner of war for over two years. Am I en titled to a refund of the Na tional Services Life Insurance premiums which were deduct ed from my army pay during that period? A. The only former prisoners of war entitled to refund of Na tional Service Life Insurance pre miums are those who were totally disabled for six consecutive mon ths or more. A refund of prem iums paid during a period of six months or more disability is made after approval of an apli cation to the Veterans Adminis tration, accompanied by proof of disability. The refund in case of disability applies equally to men who were prisoners and those who were not. STILL HAUNTING PST^_<**By MACKENZIl j iSrswcns ~ ON THE AGRICULTURAL FRONT Merchanized equipment that meets the requirements of small cotton farms is needed, said E. D. White Assistant to the Secre tary of Agriculture, in an address recently before the Cotton Con gress in Dallas, Texas. Emphasizing the need for gearing more farm machinery to the needs of small cotton farmers, White pointed out that over half our cotton acreage is worked by farmers who produce less than 10 bales of cotton. Continuing, he added, “While mechanization is advancing and gives promise, some phrases of it are lagging. More tired hands should be taken off hoe handles and more pick sacks should be be taken off aching backs. We must move in this direction.” Pointing out that more mech anization is needed throughout all stages of cotton production in oi^> der to enable American cotton to compete more effectively with foreign grown cotton and domes, tic synthetie fibers, the Assistant to Secretary Anderson said that consumption of rayon is now equivalent to more than two mil lion bales of cotton annually. Consumption of other syuthetic fibers, he said, is rapidly increas ing. Since 1940, the consumption of nylon, vinyon, aralac, saran. and spun glass has increased from 4 hi million pounds—the equi valent of 10,000 bales of cottan to 53 million pounds, or the equi valent of nearly 120,000 bales of cotton. i HOMOGENIZED Bwtf Brew new baking miracle winning thousands i V + . * Let Us Fill Your Printing Needs...
