SOME HARD QUESTIONS?
* ANSWER THEM
(By J. R. Wilder, Tunis, N. C.)
A little boy came into my
office recently to mail a letter,
two cents involved, just as a la
dy applied for a postoffice mo
ney order for $16.00. Who sh
ould have been served fist? The
boy applied first. After secur
ing the stamp he had nothing
to do but go home and play.
The lady wished to catch the
next train?had no time to lose.
A poorjy dressed lady enter
ed the church. Nearly all the
seats had been taiken. She had
great difficulty in.obtaining a
seat. Just then a deacon of in
fluence frtoqi inothet church en
tered, A good deacon', in our
church seeing him, lost no time
in securing him a comfortable
seat. Did the good deacon act
wisely? Consider everything in
volved and answer.
Bro. Freeman is poor; has to
work hard to support his inval
id wife and four small children.
He lives six miles from the
church. His mule that toils and
plows his crop is old and poor.
Brother Freeman gets to his
conference about once every
quarter. He does not contribute
much for church expense or the
new pastor; he sits in the
rear of the church. The new pas
tor don't know him; has nev
er met him personally, having
had no opportunity for an in
troduction.
Bro. Williams never fails to
answer when his name is called
in conference. His Oldsmobile
is seldom out of fix; his business
is proseprous. His dollars are
spent freely in his Master's kin
gdom. The new pastor had no
trouble in forming his acquaint
ance; they are very famtiar to
each other, while he don't even
know the other brother. Ex
plain the duty of both. Is there
a remedy? Where is it? What
is it?
Mrs. Jones while living in the
country, always delighted in
the church service; never fail
ed to be there when the oppor
tunity afforded. She moved to
the city, where she knew nobo
dy and nobody knew her. As
Sunday came, as was her wont
she went to church. Nobody ev
en saw her, nobody spoke to
her. She did not know the rea
son. It must be the thought be
cause her dress was not so fine
and nice as those of the city la
dies'. It made her feel timid
and embarrassed, although she
made another venture on the
following Sunday morning and
received the same contempt. On
the next Sunday she totally ab
sented heself from public wor
ship. For several Sundays she
stayed at home but she finally
decided that she must go to the
church; so'next Sunday found
her there, but to receive the ve
ry same indifference. Nobody ev
er seemed to see or notice her.
After this, two whole years of
her life which might have been
spent in usefulness was spent at
home, much of the time in the
reading of trashy novels. Who
is to blame? What is the reme
dy? Can we apply it?
A tramp without friends or
money, traveling in a strange
country on a cold, dark night,
continued applying for shelter
and a night's rest at every home
he passed, meeting with the ve
ry same response? a denial. Fi
nally, arriving at one hous$, as
he rais.ed his hand to ring the
door bell, he heard the sound
of a voice inside. He stayed his
lions) on/1 H of on or) T.n in/1 Ko.
hold, it was the husband and
father having family prayer.
"Thanks to goodness," thought
the poor tramp, "I have at last
fell among christian people. I
will at last be taken in." Walk
ing up to the door, after amen
was said, he rang the bell. The
gentleman came to the door. On
finding out his business, remark
ed "I don't take in strangers,"
slammed the door and was gone
back inside. The tramp left
that house an infidel, to live and
die one. What's our chirstian
duty, even toward a tramp?
Answer me. ,
"Oh the good we might do whi
le the days are going by
There are weary souls that are
perishing for the lack of so
me kind word.
Rescue the perishing, care for
the dying; tell them of Jesue
the mighty to save;
Rescue the perishing, duty de
mands it.
Strength for thy labor, the Lord
will provide.
Back to the narrow way, pa
tently win them:
TeD the poor wapderer a Sa
vior has died."
?FALL PLOWING?
(By tf. L. Miller. Co. Agent)
. Onr average rainfall in North
Carolina ia enough to grow and
mature two or three bumper
crope each year if it were only
properly conserved. In spite of
our. heavy rainfall, we see ma
ny acres wither up and almost
totally fail each year due to the
lack of moisture. We usually
blame this on providence, but .
its our fault. Providence or na
ture provides an abundance of
rain every year and its our own
problem to store up this mois- e
ture for the plants to draw on *
during the hot months of July
and August when we usually 1

matter to the soil, is the solu
tion and the only solution to the 1
moisture'problem we face eve- 1
ry summer. ?
If you will plow your land r
deep in the fall and then sub- *
soil it and harrow in oats or rye j *
to afford a cover crop and to i [
have ome vegetation to turn in-,1
to the soil in the spring and will;"
follow this practice for two or ,
three years, you can make your' .j
crops with little or no rain after jj
planting time by simply keep- ?
ing the top soil stirred to pre- jj
vent loss of moisture by evapo- jj
ration.
