m THE SUNDAY SCHOOL IESSON XIII, FIRST QUARTER, INTERNA TIONAL SERIES, MARCH 31. Vest of the Leaaon, I Cor. XT, 12-21, B5-SH Memory Verne, 51 Golden Text, I Cor. xv, HO Commentary Prepared by Rev. U. M. Slearna. iDapyright, 1907, bj American Press Association. Ilavlug the choice of au Easter les son instead of a review of the quarter, we gladly chose the resurrection story, though iu the review there is resurrec tiou also, In the i liorubiui, iu Noah aud his family coining safely turousU the waters of Judgment to a new earth, in the giving back of Isaac, etc. The very first assurance of a deliverer (Gen. iii, 13) has iu it the resurrection, as well as the suffering of the de liverer. Instead of taking the versos assigned as a lesson l'rm this marvelous resur rection chapter, we prefer to take the whole chapter, noticing, to begin with, the effect that the resurrection of Christ when truly received will have upon the believer- he will be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the WDrk of the Lord, knowing that his labor is never in vain in the Lord (verse ."si, because lie is Identified with Due who is alive foreveruiore and liws all p'ver in heaven and on earth. The first portion of the chapter, to verse l'.i. stale-? fully the jMsprl empha sizing six of li e ten Hi' twelve resur rection iippparain cs of t'hrist and proving that, apart from His resurrec tion, there is no gospi-l, no salvation, n j forgivc:ics of s:ns, nothing to piv:'.li. Th:' p i.t .--imply stated in verses :', and 1 -t'hrist died for our ::.s, l wt;s buried. He rose again tho third and all th'.s according to the Scripti'tv '-. It is v ritteii In A ts x, -i:.l, "To Him giv'.- all tl." prupli'.-ts witness, that thro'.i-'.i l:s name u Ins ji'ver be lieveth iu lli::i shall receive remission of sir.." that great resurrection day we real that Chris said to the two with whom He walked to I'm until. ( :r.ght n -i Christ to liavf suf fered tlc.-e things aud t. eM.'r into His glory';" A:. 1. hrdmiiug at Moses and all the prophets. He expounded un to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself (I.uUe xxiv, 2'i, 27 1. The same evening as ile went w'rh the el.'ven He indorsed Moses and the prophets and the psalms and opened their understanding that they might understand the Scriptures and said, 'Thus it is written and thus it be hooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day aud that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among iU nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Luke xxiv, 4-i--i7,. I'nloss His resur rection means ro much t: us that we long to preach the gospel to every creature, it Is evident that we have not yet been endued with power from on high. Wr must sS see Jesus risen and glorified that we shall fall to zero In our own estimation and learn to say truly, "Not I. but the grace of God, which was with me" (I Cor. xv, 0. IOi. Then, as to our message, we must re ceive it from Go I as Paul did (verse 3). See also Jer, I, "-ft; John xii. 4D, for anything that comes merely from our selves will count for nothing. Then the gospel that does not in clude the resurrection of the believer and our subsequent reign with IHm till all enemies shall be put under Him, even death itself, is not a full gospel (verses 21-2S. T.y the first Adam .came sin and death, by the hist Adam came life and resurrection, and all who are ChrUt's shall have resurrection bodies at his coming (verse 23). No tice this whole age, already 1000 years, covered by the word "afterward," and the millennial rge covered by the word "then" of verse 24. The highest mountain peak of Scripture Is In verse 28, In the words, "that God may be nil In all." We may even now In some measure anticipate that time by let ting Christ be all in all in us and work all In all through us (Col. ii!, 11; I Cor. xII, C). While we wait for the king dom and live to hasten It we should manifest something of Its righteous ness and Joy and peace In these mortal bodies, the life of Jesus made manifest In us (Rom. xlv, 17; II Cor. Iv, 10, 11). This will not be apt to he the case un less we are filled with enthusiasm be cause of the resurrection glories which await us, most surely believing and thus knowing the certainty of these things, that our present body of hu miliation shall he fashioned like unto Ills glorious body, that we shall be like Him when we shall see Him us He is (Luke i, 1, 4; rhil. iii, 20, 21; I John iii. 2). There tire niany believers who seem to think that all there is to redemption Is preparing us for heaven and getting us there when "the time comes, giving do thought to the resurrection of the body, the return of Christ to reign, the re t oration of Israel a::.l nil associated truths. The sad perversion of Scrip ture which teaches that Israel Is now' the chv.rrh iiml the church Is the king dom may be responsible for this. The truth Is thnt the church is n company of psople gathered out of all nations, .whiie the kingdom will include all na tions, with the literal Israel at the center and Jerusalem the throne of the Lord. These sinful uatures, even in the best of people, like Nlcodenms, cannot see the kingdom of God, but there must be a new nature, a-birth from above (John HI). Then these mortal, corruptible bodies cannot Inherit the kingdom, but must be changed into luimortat, incor ruptible ones, either by death and res- , nrrectlon or In a moment without dy ing at the coming of Christ (verses 50 51). There are those who tell us that there is one thing sure we must nil die- but verses rl and 52 teach plainly ' that not all shall die or sleep. Com pare with this I Thess. Iv, 10, 17, and take comfort and comfort othei's, as commanded. ' PROVIDING COURTHOUSE. FERTILIZING THE CROP. Bill Passed by Legislature (living Kandulph County CuniniNsluiicrs the Power.

The primary object in using fertilizer Is to produce a larger yield of the crop that Is to be immediately grown, or is already growing, on the land to which the fertilizer is to be applied. As a rule. It contains from ten to sixteen per cent, of more or less promptly available plant food. In other words, a commercial fer tilizer contains in every hundred pounds weight from 10 to 10 pounds of available phosphoric acid, either alone, or that amount of phosphoric acid and potash combined, or of these two and nitrogen combined, making in the latter case, what i called a "complete" fertilizer. Now, this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounds of the fertilizer is supposed to be. and should be. practically soluble and avail able at once, or within a week or two, for the use of the crop, says Virginia earolina Fertilizer Almannc. The remaining portion of the fertilizer, or the S4 to SO pounds in each 100 pounds, is a mixture of insoluble phosphate and sulphate of lime, some sand, water, or ganic mntter and other things that nre necessarily incident to the manufacture, and cannot be economically removed. They are of very little immediate value to either the crop or the soil. So when we apply a high-grade fertil izer to the soil the object is to supply the plants with soluble plant food and lirnase the yield of the cotton, grain, grass, or whatever the crop may be. Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does help the land, because it induces a larger growth of stalk, roots and foliage of the plants or those pruts thnt will be re turned to, and become part of the soil. A dose cf mis fertilizer, for instance, rot only iccre ;.?es the yield cf seed ct .!'.. but also the size of the stalks, the foliage, hulls ami other parts that .'.o Irr.-noiilately back and form a part of the sell in the shape of humus (decayed ve::roi.k- rrroter). But the principal way In Improve the soil itself, is to add v-::.-taV.. matter to it In the form of stabie i.;.r,;:re, - n novating crops, rotation of co pp. etc.. i'i a im.re direct 1.. rumor. It would seem manifest, then. If va v o to irera-e the vu Id of corn, cotton, wheat, oa.x. grass, etc., that the reitiiU- r cotitniii the tl-.i".

So it has b ' found that corn, sugar cane, sorghun. grasses and other crops belonging to the grass family respond best to a fertilizer that shall contain 10 parts of phosphoric acid, & parts of nitro gen and 2 parts of potash or a 1052 fertilizer. The following formulas are in precisely the same proportions, only they are of lower grade, and would give practically the same results only when a correspondingly larger application shall be made per acre viz., ft 4.50 1.80; or S 4.00 1.G0; or 73.501.40. and so on. Of course, these lower grades can be sold at lower prices than the high grades; but. as a rule, the farmer will find it more economical to buy the high grades, both on account of their cheaper price per "unit" and also the saving of freight the latter being precisely the same, per ton, for both high and low grades. APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN PLANTING. While It Is certainly true, In our ex perience, that the greater part of the fer tilizer should be applied about two weeks before the crop is to be planted, well mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow and bedded on. there are circumstances that would justify a farmer In making one or more Intercultural applications, including one at the actual date of plant ing. The following are such circumstan ces : 0) When a farmer has not been able to secure the whole amount of his fer tilizers before planting time. 0 When he concludes, alter his crop lias been planted and is growing, that h" did not buy and apply as much as he Fhotild have done before plaining. 1 ) When the yellowish green color and want of vigor in the appearance of the p!aals Indie.ito that more nitrogen is t, ceiled hv the crop. We believe it may be safely accepted cs a general rule that a small portion . f '!!:! ia-Carolina Fertilizer should be crplie.l with, or near the seed, at the 'in-e of plan;.!!-?. The effect of this small application Is lo supply the young plants with available food 'being the first stage of their growth, Ir.il.ieing prompt and vigorous development. V r this purpose. 4'i to poiimls per acre mav he applied of '!-,o same fertilizer th.it had been bed ded on two we-ks In Tore planting A second application of loth-grade fer tilizers may be made at the second or third phiuh'C' of cotton, r,r lit six or eight ii" h"S height of the plants up to 8 Inch ex. op ill" mid Ho to l.':-t of May. and the no'hile to last of June. !"' li.;e, rnltt.ral atmlirntions may be r ui' in th" f!ding furrow, or the' fer-ti'ir.'-r m.'y be sti'ov.n along in the middles I'head of the pi, w or cultivator.
