By planting cork oak throughout 'the State, the division believes lit will find the best site for grow ing these trees on a commercial basis. Any person interested in 'obtaining cork oak trees may re ceive additional information from their district forester. Green feed is necessary to hogs and, when it is supplied in suf ficient amounts, it will improve sanitary conditions, will act as a tonic, will encourage thrift and health, and is an excellent source of Vitamin A. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON WHEN WE WORK WITH GOD International Sunday School Lm iQn for January 35. 1948 GOLDEN TEXT: "For we are laboures together with God." ? I Cor. 3: 9. 20-6: 10. L*uon Text. II Corinthians S: In our lesson last week we considered the rare privileges that are ours when we belong to Christ However, we must bear in mind that our privileges carry with them responsibility and duties. Paul, in our text this week, outlines this responsibility for us. In working out His plan o{ re demption for the world. Sod must have human helpers. With out him, we can do nothing and without us, God cannot accom plish his purpose in the world. Therefore, Paul ci'.clares that those who have accepted Christ are ambassadors on behalf of Christ. It is pointed out that an ambassador of a country must possess the following qualifica tions in order to be acceptable: (1) He must be a citizen of the country he represents; (2) he must have the interests of that country at heart, although he lives in another country; and (3) he must receive an appoint ment. A Christian ambassador must have the same qualifications. Paul tells, in our lesson text, how a person becomes a citizen of Christ's kingdom. He came in to the world and partook of our nature. On the cross he bore our sin and, as a result, those who trust him become citizens of the kingdom of God. By the same sacrifice Christ puts into the hearts of each new heavenly citizen a love for the heavenly kingdom and commissions him to serve as an ambassador. The honor and privilege of be ing an ambassador also carry real responsibility. A true am bassador has a mission that in cludes every part of his life, re alizing that the manner in which he conducts his affairs and his personal life are open to close scrutiny ^nd his country is either helped or hurt by what he is and does. The ambassador for Christ must not forget that his spiritual citizenship is in heaven and that people in this world are likely to judge his country by the way he acts. His life should be centered around the twofold theme of living a life that truly represents Christ and of speaking the mes sage that Christ would have the people bear ? that they should be reconciled to God and become followers of God. Paul knew that the life of in ambassador for Christ is any thing but easy. Misunderstand ings arise, harsh criticism and ridicu\e received and, sometimes even bodily punishment given by those who fail to receive the mes sage of Christ. Paul knew from personal experience the trials that the ambassador for Christ might have to undergo and he, therefore, counsels that they be sure their faith is strong enough to see beyond the dishonor and evil reports. This faith must be able to remind him that although he may be unknown to men, he is known to God and although he may be chastened, God con tinues to be with him. He must never forget that as an ambassa dor, he is a laborer together with God to accomplish the work of God in the world. We should remember that our cJod works by a plan. Nothing that comes from his hand shows haphazard or careless planning. If God uses a plan in the making of the minutest things in the physical universe, he certainly goes by a plan in saving a lost world. In the working out of some of his plans, God works alone and does not ask human assistance. However, in the great work of soul-winning, God left a place in his plan for human initiative and effort and he ex pects Christians to take their place in his plan. As Christ's ambassadors we can take the gospel of Jesus to people whom we cannot bring to Christ. Jesus once said, "Go out into the highways and hedge and compel them to come in." In the early days of the Christian church, all Christians were mis sionaries and took the gospel of Jesus to the homes and to the market places. Today, the average Christian leaves the preaching of the gospel to the minister and the ministry of the church alone. As ambassadors for Christ, we are partners with God. T)ie partnership is continued and broadened through the consecra tion of the life to the will of God, knowing that, whatever happens we have Christ's promise, "And lo, I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world." An occasional application of lime and phosphate and potash to the pasture will encourage the growth of the more deairable pasture plants. , Doughton Favors (Continued from page 1) support to override a veto. That there is virtually certain to be a veto of the GOP measure was made clear yesterday by Sec retary of the Treasury Snyder, as the election year tax battle open ed before the House Ways and Means committee. Snyder said the Republican bill would blast hopes for debt retirement and actually put- the Treasury $2,100,000,000 in the red in fiscal 1949. And, he said, this would "constitute a major threat to the nation's fiscal in tegrity and economic stability." He argued that the country's best interest would be served by prompt enactment of the presi dent's own tax proposal. This would give taxpayers a $40-a head reduction for themselves and each dependent and make up the entire loss by a new $3,200, 000,000 bite on corporation profits which exceed a prewar average. There was little prospect that the Republican-controlled Con gress would give Mr. Truman's plan a second thought. There were rumors, however, that the House Republican leader ship might modify the Knutson bill to make it more palatable to possible Democratic supporters. In its present form the measure would: 1. Extend to all States the com munity property principle where by husbands and wives can split the family income equally for tax reporting purposes, thus reduc ing their tax rates. 2. Increase individual exemp tion from $500 to $600. i 3. Grant additional reductions ranging from thirty per cent in the lowest income bracket to ten percent in the upper brackets. NHA HOME MORTACE8 President Truman has signed a bill amending the National Housing Act tb increase by $750, 000,000 tne Federal Housing Ad ministration's authority to insure new home mortgages. The ori ginal $4,200,000,000 authorization has -been exhausted. Congress, however, voted only 75 per cent of the $1,000,000,000 requested by home-builders and further stipu lated that $500,000,000 of the amount would be available only on approval of the President. Corn loan and purchase rates for the 1947 crop, ranging by counties from $1.27 to $1.56 a bushel, and averaging $1.37 na tionally, were announced re cently by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
