After 19 hundred years the

There was a time when fol
lowing Christ meant being fill
id <Hth Joy. Christians were
mown for the Joy in their
learts. In suffering the Chris
Jan was a man of joy. In death '
lis 'heart overflowed with Chris
tian gladness. |
If we are true Christians we
uvi.ll overflow with joy too. If
are truly follow Christ, even our
sorrow will be turned to joy. J
(John 16,20) I
If joy and Christ do not mix,
a this modern world, it is not
His fault. It is our own fault: we
save turned Christ around. I
THE MORE WE MAKE AN
EFFORT TO FIND JOY WITH- 1
OUT CHRIST THE SADDER
WE BECOME. I
This is very true today. There
lever was a time when man
Marched 'for joy as we search
today. Yet there never was a

re not joyful. Insecurity brings 5
o joy. There is no joy in class- fl
ss warring against each other.l
Yet all these are with us.
Jesus warned us that we must I
carry our cross. He said weli
must fast. And these are good I
tor us. Yet he talked often of I
joy. "Be glad, and rejoice, fori
great is your reward in heav-a
;n". (Matthew, 5, 12)
We must be filled with joy.V
[f not, then we are not follow-1

true Christian rejoices andl
through joy he knows he will I
Find greater strength to suffer.l
to fast, to die to self and live toj
Christ by faith. fl
Recreation can bring joy, IF
WTE FOLLOW GODS LAWS,
yet we can make recreation a
god to be worshipped. And this
ive must guard agjainst. We
must see to it that joy is not the
foal of life. It should draw us
: loser, not pull us away from
Christ There can be Christian
joy without recreation.
But there can
be no Christian recreation!
without Christian joy.
Let us be light of heart, IN
CHRIST IS ALL OUR JOY! .

Better Growth
Is Possible
Fanners can get food growth
and survival of loblolly pine, no
matter how deep they plant the
seedlings in the ground, just so
long as they don't bury them.
That's .startling news from the
School of Forestry at State Col
lege. Farmers used to think seed
lings should be planted in the field
exactly as deep as they grew in
the nursery. That meant sopie
pretty careful planting.
Now that idea has been knocked
put. Three-year teats have shown
that better growth and survival re
sult in planting seedlings deeper in
the field than in the nursery
State College foresters planted
loblolly pine seedlings with 14, V4
and % of the stem buried in the
ground. All these plots showed
more growth than the check plot
with all of the stem above the
ground. The same results showed
up when they buried 1/3, 2/8 and
all of the stem except the terminal
bud.
Survival was not affected by
deep planting.
Foresters believ that careful
handling of seedlings is more im
portant than depth of planting.
Always keep them covered with
wet burlap between lifting from
the nursery and planting in the
field.
One caution : These results occur
red on upland soils. It is not known
if this holds true for wet, coastal
aotl.s

groundt commercial airplane* or makes high*
way travel hazardous, complaints shower down on
the railroads!
Our regular customers complain because they
are inconvenienced when our passenger trains are
suddenly called upon to handle three or four times
their normal load. Sometimes these good friends of
ours can't even get aboard. And our foul-weather
friends criticize us because we don't have enough
equipment to provide an adequate "stand-by"
service for them.
This situation isn't fair to anybody, including us.
Of course we'd like to take care of everyone and
give fine service at all times! We could do that not
so long ago, when practically all travel was by rail
and we had the passenger equipment to handle any
job. But today, only five per cent of intercity travel
is by railroad and we simply cannot afford the
luxury of ? foul-weather "stand-by" service? not
when it means buying surplus pa?cnger "cars, at
$200,000 facto, which would be standing idle most
of the time.
We want /otf to understand our problem. And
