Weekly Devotional 1
Column
By JAMES MacKRNZIE |
There are few hoys, I imagine,
who would not thrill as I did many
years ago as 1 pored over the pages
of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adven
ture packed Treasure Island. Few
Hooks have such power to make the
reader oblivious to the world about
him.
One of the characters in the tale,
you may'recall, was the castaway.
Hen Gunn. For years lie had been
marooned on tin* lonely island with
nothing hut hidden treasure and
the graves of his murdered friends
for companionship. Through dis
association the customs, manners
and speech'of mankind had begun
.to leave him; there was a gradual
hut steady degradation toward the
brute beast, for man was not meant
to be alone, and apart from society j
and fellowship the soul and spirit
hi rabidly, subordinate to the
I >ody.
One day, however, his isl ind was
invaded by men from his homeland
who had Come in search for gold
l- iist to see Ben was the hero of
tlie hook. Jim Hawkins,-who rough
a glimpse of til,, stowaway in a
:remote part of the forest, running;
along the ground and swinging
from tree to tree. Catching sight
•if Jim the poor creature begat; to
advance, trembling with terror,
now drawing hack, now drawing
closer with hope, iind at length
came forward and fell at th,. feet
of*the boy, making supplication to
him in human tongue. The mo
ment he heard Jim’s answer, the
moment he made contact with
someone from his own country.
Knglnnd, and beard mice again the
language of Iris childhood, all the
years of isolation, loneliness, frtis
stration and despair were blotted
out and old Ben Gunn heeanie a
] man one,, again.
, This, in away. is a picture of
) man apart, from God. Wo were
mad,, in His image, speaking His
I language, for the purpose of fel
lowship with Him, Man, however,
has suffered shipwreck, and has
twmnv alienated from God through
Adam’s sin and the resultant sin
ful human nature. Life at its best
for us is but a faint recollection of
what it was meant to be or what,
J hy the grace of God, it may yet
I heroine. It is only when Jesus ap
pearj before the human conscious
ness, presenting to man by His
spotless lif,. and vicarious death
Cod’s idea! and God’s means of oh
taining that ideal, that hope
springs within the human breast
and Wan desires reconciliation and
fellowship with His God.
There is nothing to fear in com
ing to God, so long as w,, none

Agricultural research is reveal

more than one tree is planted, they ■
should lie spared at least GO feet

For the eastern portion of the |
state we recommend the Stuart and |
Capo Fear varieties. They are ]
cpiite resistant to pecan seal) di
sease. Also, they arc- vigorous
growers. For the central portion
of the state wc recommend the Stu
art variety. In the mountains only
northern varieties should be plant
ed.
Pecan trees may be set nut from
late November until growth starts
in the spring. Trees four to six
feet in height are best. Larger
trees are more expensive and more
difficult to make grow and do not
necessarily make a better tree.
During the planting operation do
not let the’ roots dry ■out. Also,
water the tree after it i : planted ,
| If planted during the late fall of
early winter no further watering
will be necessary. Trees that are
not taller than fi feet Will require
no rutting buck at planting time.

“ECONOMIC AID TO AMERICA"
The 2,(100,000 Angora goats in
America today are all descended
from a herd of 20 sent from Tur
key by the Ottoman Sultan Abdul
Mejid at, the outbreak of the U. S.
Civil War. The goats, which are
the source of mohair, have made
America the largest producer of
mohair in the world, with Turkey
now second. The Turks smilingly
refer to this as Turkish economic
aid to America.
