S*l ChshviMh Mews One of the most common cause* of improper main tenance of pasture and even of cultivated land in this area of the state is poor drainage. It Isn't Just the tact that the land Is vet, but in many In stances, ditches or streams are so crooked that It Is im possible to mow or to use machinery to fertilize the land. In flat or relatively level section along branches and creeks. It is natural for streams to meander or wander all over a field instead of taking the shortest distance from one side to the other. When this condition exists, the stream is generally running very close to the surface of the ground which makes the ad jacent land wet. The photo graph above shows one such creek located in the western end of Cherokee County. No doubt many of you will recognize the stream and location. A number of Cherokee County farmers have found that it is very easy and not too expensive to straighten and deepen these creeks or ditches and make the task of maintaining good pasture or crop land much simpler. Probably the largest under taking of this type completed Murphy Births HALL Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Dear Hall, of Rt. 3, Murphy, an nounce the birth of a daughter.

In Cherokee was the dredging of Martin's Creek In the (til of 1951. A group of farmers living at the lower end of the creek got together and decided they would make good farm land out of what had always been marshy land. An operator of heavy equipment took the contract to straighten, widen, and deepen the creek. This creek had always been notorious for flooding Its low lands and many a crop of com had been ruined by summer floods. Since the Improvement of the channel was completed, the creek has not overflowed its banks except at the lower end of the creek where the dredg ing stopped even here the overflow was caused by water backing up because the unim proved channel could not carry all of the load. Many people whose farms are along the improved portion of the creek v*U tell you that the money the ditching cost was well spent. Among The Sick Patients admitted to Provi dence Hjspltal: Maynard E.

Words Of Life Of J . Alloa Marin. Associate in Mission*. Baptist State Convention o t North Carolina, Andrews, N. C. "Thou are weighed la the balancaa, and art found want ing. says (ha Word of Cod In Oamel 5:27. It behooves every parson and every nation to take an inventory of hlmaalf often. This should be don* In the radiating light of the Son ?(Cod, the Light of (he world. Where do 1 itand? How do I Measure ig> In the light of the Word of God? All who take such an Inventory, feel as did Isaiah when he was In die presence of Cod, and would like to Cry out with him: "Woe Is mel for 1 am undone; because 1 am a man of unclean Hps, and I dwell In the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of host". Isaiah 6:5. But too often, too many of us stop here and do not go on with laslah to say, "Here am 1; send me." When we can see our littleness through the re flection of the Word of God, we then are weighed in the balances, and If we refuse to go where he wants us to go. to do what he wants us to do, and to ssy what he wanes us to say, we are found wanting. The scales can be balanced only when we are willing to do the will of God. Paul in his letter to the Galatians gives us a clear cut picture of the two sides of the scales of life In which we are being weighed. Here he gives us the picture of die one who walks by the Spirit, one who walks by the flesh, Is led by the devil; and on the other hand, the one who walks by the Spirit, is led by die Lord Jesus Christ. First. f aui spears con cerning the person who is led of the flesh: "Now the works of the flesh are plain: Im morality, impurity, licen tiousness, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension party spirit, envy, drunken ness, carousing, and the like. I warn, you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatlans 5:19-21. Second, Paul speaks of the person who is led by the Spirit of Christ: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentle ness, self-control: against such there Is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and des ires." Galatlans 5: 22-24 Paul goes on to say to the followers of Christ, "If welive by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another." Galatlans 5: 25-26 Christ gave us the supreme answer for balancing the scales of life: "Thou shalt love the Lord God with all thy heart, and will all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and GreatCommand ment, and the second one is like it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor u thyaaif . Ob theae the lav and the propt.ee* ?? Manhew 22: 37-40. If we do what Christ My*, we will have ao other gods before him: we will not bow down to any (raven image*; wa will not take the name of the Lord In vain, wo will kaap die Lord** day holy, wa will honor our father* and mo ther*; we will not kill, not commit adultery, not ileal, not bear (alaa witness again* t a neighbor, nor covet. In other words. If Christian* will love God with all their heart and their neighbor* aa Christians should, they will automatically keep the Law given by Moses and Prophets. Every one of us la being weighed every day of our Uvea. What Is our relationship to Christ and our neighbor? Are we balancing the scales, pleasing God, by being obedient servants of His? Help ua. Lord, to so take Christ Jesus Into our hearts that we may please thee and be found In Thy WU1.
