S*cond Class Mall Privileges Authorised ?t Murphy, N. C. GAHDfU M m.e.gardner n c state college I am always interested in some thing new, as I am sure you are. Earlier we discussed "Plant Re gulators". This time I want to tell you about the newest one, Gibber ellic Acid, which will be available this summer under the trade name of "Gibrel". Let me say in the beginning that I am not recommending "Gibrel" because it is still in the xperimen tal stage. However, some rather ex citing things have already been re ported concerning the response of certain vegetable and flower crops to this plant regulator. The Africian Violet is one of the ? most common and satisfactory bouse plants and I am suggesting that, if you want to experiment a ? little, you try this new material oa a few of your plants. It is claimed that "Gibrel" will cause the plants ? A grow more erect, bloom more B irofusely and have a more point ? Hi and attractive leaf. V F. F. Rockwell discusses some K "colorful new shrubs" in the March B issue of the Farm Journal. You l> will be interested.

Alton Hank ' Faatar Flnt Baptist N. c** "Tfcoa ait weighed ia the kalaace and ait feud waatUg" Daniel 1:17 Babylon was one of the great d ties at her day and time. She *u ( fortified with a wall that was thre* , hundred feet high and so broad at the top that chariots could have passed each other. Babylon waf the city with one of the seven wonders of the wprjd ? the hang ing gardens which the king had built for his queen. Inside the walls of ^ a by Ion there was enough provisions to have cared for her inhabitants for a period of twenty years, had she been besieged on the outside by an enemy. The great city Babylon was be sieged and overthrown in Just one night. Why? Because her men ol leadership were in a drunken stup or. "Belshazzar, the king, made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand" Daniel 5:1. Because the king and his people defied God and made light of that which is sacred. "Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden vessels which his father Ne buchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might jrink therein" Daniel 5:2. These golden vessels were used to "praise the gods of gold, and ol silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone." God was not pleas ed with this: "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace" Daniel 5:5. This frightened the king so much that "his knees smote one against another." Daniel, the man of God, was sent for to give an interpretation oi the writing. Daniel gave an inter pretation of the writing and remino ed the king that God was displeas ed with him and the people and that they would be punished. The pronouncement of Daniel from the writing was: "God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it . . . Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting . . t Thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes?and Persians" Daniel 5:27-28. The punishment of God was more rapid than anyone had_ Ireamed. For while the leaders oi j ' Babylon were in a drunken stupoi .he enemy had opened up a secret passageway under the wall into i he city and "In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chal deans slain. And Darius the Med ian took the Kingdom" Daniel 5: 30:31. Here is a passage of Scripturc that every leader of every nation and every citizen of every country ought to read and re-read. It is the true picture of what happens when a nation turns to drunkness. It is a vivid picture of what happens to the individual as well as the nation. Belshazzar in a fit of drunkness defied God by drinking out of the vessels from the Temple of Jeru salem and worshipped and praised the gods of the world rather than the true and living God. God was displeased and that same night Bel shazzar went from his kingly glory and making light of things sacred in the ballroom to death rolling on the floor in his own blood bes raearchpd kingly robe. . This is the picture behind the ad vertising of strong drink. It is the picture behind the cock-tail party. It is the picture behind the begin ning of strong drink.
