Smith Andrews Free Methodist Church Andrews, N. C. "Why ia the House of the Lord Forsaken?" , In Neh.. 13:11 these are the words of Nehemiah when he found the sad condition of backslidden Is rael, who had taken their eyes off the true and living God and were I seeking after other gods and a way of their own to worship, a plan which always leads to trouble. After rebuilding the walls of Je rusalem Nehemiah again resumed his duties at the kings palace; yet he was still interested enough in Jerusalem and the people there to make inquiries about their spirit- 1 ual condition. It is a sad story for he cries out, "Why is the house of the I Lord forsaken?" It is no wonder he I does, for Eliashib, the priest, had : charge of the chamber of the Lord where the meat offrings and vess els were supposed to have been kept and given to the Levites for whom it was intended, but the Words tells us he was allied with Tobiah. He had removed some of these things from the house of the Lord and had replaced them with 1 other things which should not have been in the bouse of the Lord at : all, only to please Tobiah. How Neheniah's heart was bur- ' dened! He could see Judah tread ing the wine presses bringing in figs, grapes and wine to Jerusalem, an dthe men of Tyre bringing fish and all manner of ware and selling it on the Sabbath day, something strictly forbidden in God's law. Nehemiah took a firm stand a j-ussy deodorants CREAM AND STICK REGULARLY ?1 ?

We will do well to follow Ne hemiahs example in this, for od always stands by every one who is willing to take his stand against the wrong and for the right. This stand at times needs to be taken in the age in which we live today, for often there are those who would prefer to remove some of the things in the spiritual, realm, and replace them with something more modern and up-to-date in the church of today. The earthen vessels represent in dividuals in the church and are the containers of the soul: therefore we should see to it that they are kept in the house of the Lord when ever the opportunity permits us to be there, and not cuddle some of the Tobiah favors by staying at home on Sunday and listening to a radio sermon when we have our health and could just as well be in the house of worship. True radio sermons are a blessing to the shut ins, but they are discouragement to the pastor who has to. preach to "empty pews". Neither can one worship God in the open air tramping up and down a trout stream on Sunday as some people claim they can do, when God's word tells us to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together on the Sabbath day. God did not excuse the people of that day, neither will He let people go unpunished today. Be on time at every worship. Let God have first place, let nothing hinder you, and your soul will be blest and fed on that living bread. Church going will not save us, but it will help us to be better Chris tians and cast out the influence to a lost and dying world of a hope for them when all else fails. As we think of the few who are faithful in church attendance in comparison to those who are not, we are caused to wonder if the cry of Nehemiah would not be the same in our nation today, for the laxity of spirit is very much the same. It does not take long to answer the question, "Why is the house of the Lord forsaken?" for the mis conduct of lawn mowers, the sound of electric saws and hammers would all testify for themselves as to what is taking place. Let us as God's people take a firm stand against all Sabbath breaking and sin; for, sad to say, there is too much playing around with these matters, and too many of the old landmarks are being re moved in these days. We say, "I have done my duty, I have gone to church once today, and or the re mainder of the day I will do as I please." No, the whole days be longs to God and should be regard ed as such. God has been so loving and kind to give us six days for recreation or labor, or to do as we please; but many times our hearts are sad dened by seeing individuals break ing the Sabbath day by working at odd jobs at home. In regard to this we truly can a gree with the dear old grandmoth er in seeing all these evils said, "It is all right to pull the ox out of the pit on the Sabbath day, ifyou do not push him in on Saturday night." May God help our nation and our churches to see this, and to be in God's house on His holy day to worship Him in spirit and truth. Our God is so loving and kind to give us our free choice in these matters: let us pray for our nation that people will choose wisely. r NOTICE KAYFS AUTO PARTS Is Starting A New Service.

Exports of cotton from August through December 1956 were a bout 3 million bales, oompared with 0.7 million in the same per iod of 1955. Daffylils and tulips give us much pleasure in early spring and are to be found in most of our gardens. The question is: should they be taken up every year, every second year, or every third year? It is not necessary to lift daffodils every year but it, is highly desir able that the bulbs ,be dug, divided, and replanted every third year. This will give them a better chance to grow and reproduce. If yours need to be moved, wait until the leaves begin to turn yel low before digging. While the leav es are still green they are manu facturing food and storing it in the bulbs for next year's flowers They may be dug, divided, and replant ed immediately or they may be dried and stored in a cool place and held for fall planting. The tulip is somewhat different. Tulip bulbs should be taken up and replanted every second year. The bulbs may deteriorate rather rapid ly and for this reason 4t is some times best to buy fresh bulbs every year if large flowers are desired. If blubs are to be replanted, do not dig them until the leaves turn yellow as was the case with daffo dils. > Bearder (German Iris) is bloom ing now in our ne ghborhood and will be ready to divide and trans plant in about a month. However, plants may be divided and trans planted any time during the sum mer and early fall. A good divis ion consists of a new rhiome, or thickened underground stem, with a cluster, or fan, of leaves. After the division has been made the rhiome should be planted so that the top of it will be even with the soil. Deep planting is not desirable. Bearded iris do best in well drain ed soils which dry out rather quick ly. Cool weather in the spring fre quently interferes with fruit setting on tomato plants. This is particu larly true of the first two or three flower clusters that are formed. Hormones, or plant regulators, ap plied to these first clusters may give you earlier tomatoes and more total production. They may be pur chased from your seedsman under the trade names of "Blossom Set" or "Fruitone". If you want to ex periment, ute one of these mater iel* according to accompaning di rections. Spray on the open blos soms with an atomizer or fine spray. Chick Placement Increased la State 1.7% Placements of broiler chicks with North Carolina growers during' the week ended- April 13 totaled 2, 099,000.

During each of the preceding ' 7 weeks placements had been running be low last year's level. The 2,858,000 eggs set during the week is 2.0 percent above the previous week and 2.7 percent above the number set during the same week last year. Hatching of 1,974,000 chicks during the week were 1 percent below last week and 7.5 percent below a year ago.
