SECTION THREE ‘| , ,"\ T / * v> ; T ■ r -^.^ Ipjt Th e R° un dup ] I By Wilborne Harrell | >v • I Today —To paraphrase Edgar A. Guest: It takes a'heap o’ house work in a house to call it home ... A man’s work is frpm sun to HARRELL sun, a women’s work is never| done. No mere man will ever fully understand THAT unless he has to keep house, as I have been doing, and that old saw will will be driven forcibly home. A man works at a job and quits as a specified time. There is a beginning and an end to his work. A woman’s work is endless: there is no beginning and no ending. When I first started doing my housework, I almost killed myself Weekly Devotional Column Bt JAMES MneKRNZIK Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee (Psalm 119:11). The psalmist knew the secret of understanding and appropriat ing the Word of God. Thy Word have I hid in my heart. We to day spend so much time reading trash, and watching TV and the movies, that we have little time left for the Word ( of God. We al low the things of the world tb oc cupy our thoughts and our time, to influence us. The result in our country has been a deterioration of morality, and basic concepts of honesty, dependability, and fac ing up to responsibility. We Eire products of our environment, and our environment has included too much materialistic claptrap and too little Bible. When we regard the Bible at all we regard it as a magic fetish or good luck charm that we keep in our homes to ward off evil spirits, or'that sold iers might carry in their pockets to save them from the aim of the enemy. (It doesn’t work. I was wounded in action with a New Testament in my pocket). David didn’t say “Thy Word have I hid in my pocket,” he said, “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart.” Memorize the Word of God. Je sus, when tempted, vanquished the devil by quoting Scripture. To meet temptation, witness for your Lord, find strength in time of crisis, memorize the Word of God. Store in your mind pass ages of Scripture that will meet any emergency. Some time ago while preaching in a small church in Michigan, I overheard one teenager say to an other, “I have just finished chap ter twelve.” “You’re way ahead of me,” replied the other, “I’m still on chapter eight.” I asked the pastor what they were talk ing about and he told me they referred to the Book of Romans. “Oh,” I said, “they are reading it through together?” “No,” he an swered, “they are memorizing it.” Go thou, dear reader, and do like wise. But David’s knowledge of the Word was greater than head knowledge: “Thy Word have I TO THE CITIZENS OF CHOWAN COUNTY Hn ' OK hHk officio Assistant Clark of the Recorder's Court, the pleasure of seeing the people of our County personally will be denied me.

Yesterday —The first covered wa gons wended their way across the Western plains to the tune of “Oh, Suzanna!” . . . with a banjo on my knee. Banjos and guitars were as much in evidence as guns and rifles, and Western songs and music have come down to us. as a definite part of American folklore. Many a lonesome night around 'the campfire has been enlivened hid in mine HEART.” He had meditated upon it, studied its meaning, prayed about it, dis cussed it with his friends, and ap plied its truths to his life. His was a heart knowledge as well as a head knowledge. And this knowledge was the source of power in his life.. Someone has likened the Bible to a drugstore with a prescription for every spiritual ill. Have you care? Cast all your care upon Him who cares for you. Do you have doctrinal doubts? If any man will do His will he shall know his doctrine. Do you have doubts as to God’s will for your ■life? If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God. Are you greedy? Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Proud? Be clothed with humility. Self ish? He that loyeth his life shall lose it. Sorrowful? He healeth the broken in heart. Yes, the Bible is God’s only Word to us. It tells us where we came from, why we are here, where we afe- going, and how to get there. Read it to be wise, obey it to be holy, believe it to be saved.

McCREADY “I wonder who that is,” said the | Episcopal minister in a North Carolina town, as he rose from* the breakfast table to answer the j door-bell. It was Sunday and he and his wife were entertaining a distinguished visitor—an elderly, Chinese bishop. Famed for his j service in World War 11, this man had gained the name of “The “Bishop of the Burma Road.” He was in the community to speak at a week-long “mission.” “Good morning,” said a pleas ant middle-aged man, as the rec tor opened the door. “I under- J stand that you have with you a Chinese bishop. I am a Baptist. I served for a good many years as a missionary in China, and I would greatly like to meet your' guest, if I may. I am sort of, homesick for the sound of my \ adopted language. And besides, I want to ask a favor of him.” “Come right in l’m delighted to meet you, and he will be, too,” j said the Bishop’s host genially; and in a matter of seconds two men who spoke Chinese were having a grand conversation. Then came a'request. “I won-1 der, Bishop,” said the caller, “if j you would let me come by this afternoon and take you to a big, missionary gathering pf Baptists. Your presence would be a real help especially if you would read a passage of Scripture and offer prayer.” The Bishop gladly agreed, and a few hours later hundreds of Baptists had the unusual experi ence of being led in their devo tion by a man of another race and communion, from halfway around the world. With beaming face and clear, distinct tones the ven erable Chinese churchman brought them a spiritual gift. Such heart-warming fellowship by men who on some theological points hold divergent views is no unusual thing on the foreign field. A Baptist worker in Africa wrote how, when special evan gelistic services were about to be held in his mission, the Students in the Anglican (Episcopal) theo logical seminary volunteered to distribute the handbills announc ing the services. * It rrray' be that the missionaries and their flocks appreciate more I than some people back home the things which unite them with J their fellow "Christians of other j folds. In such lands the percent | age of believers is sometimes very small, and the soldiers of the i cross feel their need one of an i other. Their situation may be compared with that of the Jews of old when they were rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, after their return from captivity in Babylon. They faced great difficulty and danger because of foes round about. With this in mind, their , intrepid leader Nehemiah said one day to the workers, who la bored, at considerable distances, “The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall one from another.” He persuaded . them to adopt a plan of effective ! mutual assistance should emer gencies arise, and the enterprise j went forward to success. In New ! Testament times we read of some j of the disciples fishing on the Sea of Galilee, who needing help beckoned to their partners in an other ship to come and help ! them which they did, with re ! markable results, j The words spoken by an Ameri can-born Baptist and a Chinese I Episcopalian on the morning mentioned were in a foreign ton gue. Not a word they spoke could be understood by the min , ister in whose home they met. I But they were speaking at the same time another language, which he understood perfectly— the language of “all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin cerity.” Treat Soybean Seed To Increase Yields You can assure yourself better stands and higher yields by treat ing soybean seed before planting. J. C. Wells, plant pathologist for the N. C. Agricultural Exten sion Service, says that experimen tal tests have shown that treat ment of soybean seed increases germination rate and span sur vival of plants in the field. This is especially true with seed har boring damping-off germs (which frequently kill young seedlings) and with seed planted early. It takes only a fraction of a bushel of soybeans to pay • for enough material to treat all the seed needed to plant one acre.' Recommended materials are: Thiram (Arasan or Thirman 50 Dust) as a dust treatment at the rate of 2 ounces per bushel of seed, Arasan 75 at the rate of 1 1/3 ounces per bushel of seed, or Orthocide 75 as a dust treat ment at the rate of 1 16 ounces per bushel. Follow manufacturer’s directions for slurry treatments. Soybeans can be treated easily in a barrel-type treater or in any convenient tight drum, barrel or lard stand. First, place the seed in the treater, which should be half full for each operation; sec ond, spread the required amount of chemical dust over the seed, close the lid tightly and rotate the container for several minutes until the seed are uniformly cov ered with dust. The slurry meth od of treating is also recommend ed if the equipment is available. In conclusion, Wells says: “Don’t take a chance on losing money invested in seed. Seed treatment is good insurance. It is inexpensive and will pay big divi dends.” Work, Sleep, Play In Comfort Without Nagging Backache Nagging backache, headache, or muscular aches and pains may come on with over-exer tion, emotional upsets or day to day stress and strain.
