The Forestry Division of the De
partment of Conservation and Devel
opment Is working out scientifically
by means of an experimental plot ot
land donated by the Cooper Lumber
Company in Pender county the actual
effect of burning on forest lands that
have not been burned over since re
production started, the contention of
the department being that even light
burning damages the reproduction of
trees and causes their replacement
by such growth as broom sedge, wire
grass and green briars, and that main
tenance of natural growth, uninter
rupted by fire, will result In the na
tural timber shading out undesirable
?undergrowth. Systematic burnings
are to be conducted in May, June and
January, the times when least dam
age Is expected and all types of trees
and soils are to be Investigated and
analysed. Foreet-llre prevention Is
an aim which the department earn,
estly emphasises and well-timed pre
parations, including special fire look,
outs have been placed on duty
In a number ot eastern counties In
anticipation ot the usual outbreak of
seasonal fires In that section of the
State. Modification ot laws relative
to the assessment and taxation of
forest lands Is advocated, it Is said,
by the legislative committee of the
Southern Forestry Congress which
contends that until more equitable
methods than at present prevail In
most states Is put Into force, there
will be little incentive for private In.
terests to take up the cultivation of
timber and the protection of forests.

JESUS TEACHES SINCERITY
Th<- Ihlfrmili win I I'nifortn Sunday School liCHoa for March M.
Jesus TmcIii's Sincerity. Mark 7:1-13. i
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, sod certain of fee'
scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
And when they saw some of his dlselplea eat bread with defiled
(that Is to say, with unwashen) hands, they found fault ~ ^ ^
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands
oft. eat not, holding the tradition of the eiders.
And when they come from the market, except they waa)i. they est
not. And many other things there be which they have received ?>
hold, as the washing of cups, and pota. brasen vessels, sod of tables.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked- him. Why walk not thy disal
ples according to the tradition of the elders, but-eat bread with ?a
washen hands? -t ???*(
He answered and said opto them. Well Hath Esatas prophesied
of you hypocrites, as It is written. This people hoaoureth me with
their Hps. but their heart is far from me. ' *
Howbelt in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.. ^
For, laying aside the commandment of God. ye hold the tradition
of men. as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like
things ye do. ? .
And he said unto them. Full well ye reject the commandment of
"Cod, thai ye may Keep your own traditton. "?
For Moses said. Honour thy father and thy mother; and. Whoso
curSeth father or mother, let him die the death;' . <
But ye say. If a man shall say to his father or mother. It Is Cor
ban (that is to say a gift), by whatsoever thou mightest be profited
by me; he shall be free. ?? ? ??'- ?(
And ge suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
which ye have delivered: and many such Ilka things do ye. 4
rpHE topic of this lesson for young
people and adults Is given as
"Jesus Denounces Forrv ? " We
prefer the general title puts
the teaching In posit 1. _? rather
than In negative form. "Jesus
Teaches Sincerity.'*
If Jesus denounced the formalism
of the scribes and Pharisees, we
should remember that It was not
for the sake of mere denunciation
or because he singled out certain
people for attack. Rather, It was
because he wished to emphasise
the fundamental Importance of sin
cerity In religion.
jPerout Pharisees
These scribes and Pharisees were
the official representatives of re
ligion in the environment where
-Jesus spoke. Nqr were they all by
any means formalists and hypo
crites. As a matter of fact most
of the very devout people of Israel
were of the sect of the Pharisees.
- What Jesus meant, therefore, in
his reference was that It Is not
enough simply to observe the out
ward demands and duties of a re
ligious organisation. Such observ
ances must. In fact, indicate an in
ward attitude of mind and heart
or the religious life has little
reality.
Jesus saw some of these scribes
and Pharisees punctilious about
outward observances, things that
were by no maans unimportant or
to be despised, but which were rel
atively much less than other mat
ters of which these outward things
were Important only as evidences
and symbols. The keeping of the
outside of tbe cup end platter
clean, for Instance, could be Im
portant only as one thought of the
corresponding cleanliness of the
inside.
Outu..rd Observance
Undoubtedly it is true that
often those whose outward observ
ance of things is most punctilious
are most deficient In tbe spirit of
real love and sacrifice In relation
to the cause i<> which they profnm
. a-Aii
i , y . I .
most Intensely to believe. The ln-y
tense lip patriotism ot many peo
ple, for Instance, both la the. p?.
riod of the Civil War and in the
period ot tbe recent World War,
did not prevent their seeking in
every way to profit financially
from the distressing experiences
through which their country waa
passing.
It is always needful that we?
should challenge the
