Meditation
See what love the Father has bestowed
upon us, that we should be called God's chil
dren: and that is what we are. For this rea
son the world does not recognise us. because
tt did not recognise Htm. Beloved, we are
now Gods children, but what we are to be
has not yet been manifested. We know that
if He appears we shall be like Htm, because
we shall see Him as He is. And any one who
has this hope fixed on Him. purifies himself
as He is pure. Everyone who commits sin
also commits lawlessness; for sin is lawless
ness. And you know that He appeared in
order to take away sins; and in Htm there is
no sin. So one who abides in Htm sins: no
one who sins has seen Him or knows Htm.

Father's Day
Fathers will have their day on June 1>. Al
ready little packages are being wrapped, special
cakes being baked, and surpirses galore for that
head of the house that seldom gets his due recog
nition are being planned.
Most fathers work diligently and unselt'ishlv
for the wife and children at home, to give them
the necessities and luxuries they desire. Some
times their efforts are unappreciated, and they sel
dom have any expression of gratitude from those
for whom they labor. However, this is not true
in many homes, and there is mutual love and
affection on the part of the whole household, as it
should be.
There is divine approval on homes, and the
Scriptures place responsibility for supervision of
the household upon the husband and father. Par
ents are charged to love their children, and chil
dren to obey and love their parents. Tvron Ed
wards interpreted it: "Honor thy parents, those
that gave thee birth, and watched in tenderness
thine earliest days, and trained thee up in youth,
and loved in all. Honor, obey, and love them: it
shall fill their souls with holy joy. and shall
bring down God's richest blessing on thee: and in
day to come, thy children, if they're given, shall
honor thee, and fill thy life with peace."
Fathers who would train up their children
in the way they should go. must go in the way
in which they would have them go. When they
are contemplating or doing some base deed, the
presence of the child should act as a check on
the headlong course of wrong.
To those fathers who earnestly and sincerely
do their best for their families and loved ones,
we give a special salute this week. To those who
care nothing for their homes and constantly em
barrass members of the family, we would point
to the happiness that comes with living the right
kind of life and wish for them that joy.
Greetings and best wishes, fathers-, on vour
day!

With The Editor
HUNDREDS OF US MEMBERS of First Bap
tist Church and scores of visitors who have attended
the revival services now going on under the leader
ship of Evangelist Carl Bassett have confeaed their
sins and re-dedicated their lives in recent services.
At the invitation of the minister for church members
to confess their sins and get right with Got*, ask
ing Him to forgive them for all their sins and blot
out anything that is a stumbling block or keeps
them out of tune with God, a large majority of the
church members present responded. On Tuesday
night at the invitation of the pastor, asking those
who had said hard things about others or had any
ill will in their hearts, to confess it, practically all
the audience responded. A Leo there have been many
professions of faith and some joining the church by
letter.
THE BEAUTIFUL chalk pictures which Mr.
Bassett draws are presented to those who have
brought the most new people to church that service.
We have received three of them for our mission
building, two of them for having the largest number.
From six to twelve of our Mission Sunday School
members have come daily to the services, and some
have confessed Christ as Savior. There is rejoicing ]
when anyone comes into the Kingdom, but there is
an unspeakable joy when members of your mission
or Sunday School class or others who are very near
and dear to you join the great band of believers.

VARYING ALTITUDES make it possible for us
to ^njoy certain flowers of long periods. For in
stance. early in the spring a group of us were privi
leged to see the dogwood blooming in Savannah and
Charleston About three weeks later, it bloomed
here Still later, when all of ours was gone, we vis
ited Chunky Gal and Whiteside Mountains and saw
it again. Our flame azalea has been gone several
weeks, and Saturday on a trip to Asheville to at
tend the Western North Carolina Press meeting. I
saw this lovely plant just blooming on Soco. The
laurel is beautiful there, too.
? ? ?
IN THE SMOKIES the laurel and purple rho- !
dodendron are at their height of beauty. There
seem to be more blossoms than ever. Whole moun
tains are covered with either laurel or rhododen- j
dron. and the roadsides art lovely with these and !
other plants. Visitors from other states already are j
coming in large numbers to see the beauties of our I
mountains. May those of us who live here never j
fail to appreciate our scenery and other God-given j
assets.

SUNDAY is Father's Day. and I pause here to
pay tribute to the memory of my beloved father. [
Thomas Braxton Cooke, whr died November 8 1928.
His outstanding characteristics which forever will
be impressed upon my mind were his devotion to
his church, his family, and his neighbors, his indus
try anu courage, his honesty and sincerity.

Advises Mineral
Oils To Control
Tobacco Suckers
ROY R. BENNETT
EittulM
Tobacco Specialist
The use of white mineral oils
and oil emulsions on tobacco for
sucker control is a matter of great
interest to tobacco growers es
pecially with the labor situation
being what it is. There has been
'.wo years' testing of the oil-emul
sion on tobacco under a rather
wide range of conditions.
Of the materials used, the bee
ry grades of white mineral oil and
emulsifier mixed with an equal
quantity of water has given the
most satisfactory results. Both the
straight oil and oil-emulsion has
given very good sucker control,
when properly applied and very
little or no damage to the plants
under favorable weather condi
tions; however, under damp, hot.
humid weither conditions, soft rot
may be a major problem. The oil
emulsion has given much less soft
rot than the straight oil, but under
some conditions even the oil-em
ulsion may cause more damage to
the plants from soft rot, than the
grower can afford to loose.
In a majority of experiments,
demonstrations, and farmer trials
with oil-emulsion, the incidence of
?oft rot has been rather low: how
ever. in a few extreme cases the
percent of dead or damaged plants
has been much higher than the ben
efits derived from the use of the
mineral. Because of the danger of
soft rot, the use of white mineral
oil or oil-emulsion for the control
of suckers cannot be recommend
ed for general use at this time.
If a grower wishes to try this
method of sucker control on a
small scale, there are several points
that may be helpful; One of the
commercially prepared white oils
with an emulsifler should be mix
ed with an equal quantity of water.
About * 2 to 1 teaspoonful of this
emulsion should be used per plant,
depending upon the sire of the
plants. The plants should be topp
ed and treated about the time the
first flowers begin to open. Suck
ers longer than 2 to 3 inches may
not be effectively controlled The
quality o f flue-cured tobacco
treated with oil-emulsions or plain
mineral oil thus far has been I
judged to be equal to that topped '
and suckered by hand.

Just not telling a lie in actual words,
truth is conveying ideas that de not

Scientific Truth
JESUS seldom argued that truth is
right, Juit as he seldom 11 ever
argued that honesty is a good thing.
Every one knows it.
What would you think of a person
who came to you with this recom
mendation? 'This men is a hard
worker, he has plenty cl brains, he
nas only one fault and that is. he is
a liar." You'd never hire him. Every
one wants truth told him.
Bet there are different kinds
ef treth. One Is scientific. Now
It Is hardly possible to tell tbe
complete truth from a scientific
point ef view.
"How old are you?" Is a simple
question and most people answer it
simply: Five, or fifty-five, or what
ver the nearest year may be. But
:ha;'s not a scientific answer. Fiva
and how many months, how many
weeks, how many days, hotts, mln
ates. seconds?
You see by the time you have fig
ured it out to seconds (which would
be the scientific truth) you are al
ready several minutes older.
Well, you .say, 1 don't care to
know how old you are down to the
last second. Of course you don't, and
that brings up another kind o' truth.
? ? ?
Social Truth
THE KIND of truth in which .Fesua
was especially interested, and
in which all of us take the most in
terest, is what we can call sotlal
truth, the kind of truthfulness that
makes for friendly and trustworthy
relationships between man and man.
If you apply for a driver's license
and say you are seventeen when
you are only fifteen, that's a lie. If
you are seventeen and say so, and
if your state will let you have a li
cense at that age, then the clerk
doesn't care a particle whether you
are also seventeen and eleven
months or seventeen and eleven
hours.
"How are you?" Is a harmless and
common question. But if you have
any sense, you won't answer, "Well,
I don't know exactly because I have
not had a check-up. But my pulse
was 73 at 8:32 this morning. I have
