\The Scripture Reading:, and Comment by Rev. C. G. Smith, Asheboro, N. C. Golden Text.—Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.— Galatians 6:7. TEMPERANCE LESSON . For, brethren, ye have been called onto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one an other, take heed that ye be not con sumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, > and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fomification, uncleanness, lascivious ness. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, vari ance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedi tions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherlit the j kingdom of God. But the fruit cf the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Mqpkiiess, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. We are told that the sap from the , ordinary potato plant is deadly to! the tomato and the tobacce plants. We j Woifid not expect such unpleasant re lations to exist between members of the same plant family. All over ill kept gardens we can see the struggle for existence between various plants The morning glory throttles the com stalk and flowers choke in the grip of the running grasses. Charles Darwin had much to say about the “survival of the fittest”. Paul tells us in this lesson’ of a struggle in which the un fittest often survive. In every man’s heart there is the ; contest between the roots of evil and ; good. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, j goodness, faith, meekness, temper ance.” “The works of the flesh are: j Adultry, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, j wrath, strife, hei’esies, envyings, mur der, drunkenness, revelings and j suchlike.” “The flesh lusteth against j the Spirit, and the Spirit against the i flesh. These are contrary the one to j the other.” No quarter is asked and j none is given. There is not room in j one heart for both of these interests, j There can be no compromise. Dr. G. j Campbell Morgan has pointed out that j while one of these lists is known as ! the “fruit” of the spirit, the other is j known as the “works” of the flesh. A work may be the product of man , while a fruit can only result from : the touch of the Creator. “A work” will disappear in the course of time. The most enduring work of man must fall eventually into ruins. But “fruit” being of the handiwork of God and being in some mysterious way con nected with life, duplicates itself from generation to generation. It growS again as fast as it decays. Such are the fruits of the Spirit. Roger Babson has a splendid'con tribution to make on the question of j the works of the flesh. “When I was, a boy the Church put a decided ban on j drinking, cardplaying and dancing. At j the time I thought it was foolish, but now I know that there is an economic j reason for it—namely, because thatj it is impossible to be satisfied by' drink, gambling or yielding to sex im pulse. The more one has of these three things the more he wants: the more he has the less he is satisfied until finally the ruling impulse of his entire life is whiskey, ‘ gambling or women. The Church said, “Let these things alone, beware of temptation and do not let in the thinnest edge of the wedge,” ■ I THIS COUNTY RANKS 55TH IN FEDERAL INCOME RETURNS ph county ranked 85th mong the 100 counties of the State a the number of federal income tax eturas uer inhabitant in 1923. This one for >avidson one KNOW STEER MARKET BEFORE % BUYING WINTER FEEDERS Indications are that more than the usual number of beef cattle will be j bought by crop farmers for fattening and finishing this winter. Before buy ing, however, the purchaser should study the condition of his market and try to forsee whether he can sell the finished animals to good advantage or will lose money on the venture. “Not only this, but the buyer should select his steers with care and buy at the best price possible,” says Prof. R. S. Curtis of State College. There is no business in Which this is so impor tant as in buying feeder steers for re isafe after they are finished. This is due to the long period elapsing be tween the time of purchase and the time when the animals are ready for sale after going through the fattening process. Indiscriminate buying with out regard for the probable market condition at the time for selling will lead to trouble.” Prof. Curtis states that if cotton seed meal is to be used as the fatten ing concentrate or grain feed, it will pay to buy the larger and more ma ture steers. Cottonseed meal is a nitrogenous feed and will make a young steer grow instead of getting fat The larger animals will consume more of the meal without injury and thus produce the desirable finish. Smaller cattle may be selected with good prospects for resale if the feeder has a supply of com, corn silage or both.' The local markets usually pre fer the smaller and less expensive cattle as this enters into the price for which the retail cuts of meat may be sold. To market the finished cattle most satisfactorily it is always' best to have a carload or. one farm or in the nearby community, states Prof. Curtis. Some “I Will Nets” For Teacher* (Laurinburg Exchange) 1 The Greensboro News reprints from The Chapel Hill Weekly what is pur ported to be a part of a lady school teacher’s contract, as required in some counties of North Carolina. Here it is: I further agree that I will take a vital interest in church and Sunday school work and other community ac tivities; that I will not entertain com pany until late hours at night and thus render my school work next day inefficient; that I will not attend | sorry moving picture and vaudeville I ; shows; that I will not fall in love or j become familiar with high school pu- j pils; that I will not attend card and | dancing parties; that I will not fail to ; use my best endeavor during the year | to improve my work as a teacher; and ‘that I will do nothing to bring disre Ipute on the home in which I liVe or jto cause right-thinking people to ; speak disparagingly of me or my ! work. The Greensboro editor has some very understandable things to say about this piffle, and adds “Finally it demands of her that she submit the i whole cosmic urge to a county super intendent and a county board who thus by flat ordain when, and only when, teachers shall fall in love. If those gentlemen are able to do that they ought to get out of the school business and set up an advice-to-the love lorn bureau. We’ll guarantee them ten times their present incomes the first couple of hours after they are in full operation.” Any self-respecting woman school teacher who gets such a document as that from a school board should get herself a rolling pin, a broom stick jor a baseball bat, aril go on the war 'path. • San Hatches Seventeen Eggs — The warm sun hatched 17 turkey eggs on the farm of Charles Kelso, near Westfield, Mass. The mother turkey deserted her nest, on the side of a hill, when the first egg was hatched. Old Sol did the rest. msafim Of Liberty Township Sunday School Convention, In Session August 2. —— It is the sense of this Convention assembled, that in the untimely death of Miss Hester Patterson on the 27th day of last month, that the Sunday School Association of this township has lost one of ltd most loyal support ers and efficient promoters. Our records show she served us well for five years as our secretary and after taking up the larger work as secretay of the County Association she never lost an opportunity to use her good influence for this Associa \ - \ FOR DYING PINES THIS SUMMER Timberland owners in the south are urged by the United States De partment of Agriculture to keep a close watch this summer on their pine lands to note any clumps of pines dying from the attacks of the south | em pine beetle. Recent studies made by the Bureau of Entomology | indicate outbreaks of this insect oc Icur during periods of abnormally low i rainfall. The weather bureau re ports that the rainfall for the first live months of 19?5 has been much below normal in the southeastern sec tions of the United States, the de jficiency in rainfall at some stations | being as much as 15 inches. All timberland owners in this re j gion are familiar with the destructive work! of the pine beetle. If the present dry spell should continue it is likely, says the department, that serious losses will occur this sum mer. Pine owners are advised to make an examination of timberland once a month or oftener for clumps of dying trees indicated by fading or brown foliage. Such trees should promptly be worked up into lumber, or the logs placed in water until more op portune time for sawing. Reports of the . presence of the beetle should be sent immediately to R.. A. St. George, Bureau of Entomology Field Station, P. O. Box 1518, Asheville, N. Ct i ANOTHER SNAKE STORY The Monroe Journal in a recent is sue tells this interesting and unusual snake story: Mr. J. L. Davis of the Union com munity of Sandy Ridge has learned that he can’t put his foot into even his .No. 10 when there is a copper head snake already at home in the shoe. He knpws for he tried it and failed. Mr. Davis is accustomed to make trips to Rock Hill with a car load of produce each Saturday. Last Satur day morning he .took off his work shoes as usual, {eft them in the closet at. home, donning his Sunday clothes to go to town in. In the afternoon he fame back, and like all prudent men do, went to change back from his Sunday to his everyday shoes. He picked up a shoe and made a thrust to put his foot in but it wouldn’t settle down. It came in contact with a soft feeling obstacle. “Must be one of them dumed old rats,” he said, withdrawing the foot. It wasn’t a rat, but a snake, wedged ip good and ! tight by the pressure of the foot. Mr. Davis got to the yard with the shoe and shook the snake out and killed it, It was a venomous copperhead, two feet long. That was some snake to be in one shoe, but then, it was sonje shoe. The snake was in head first, i and that is the reason it did not chew 1 any on Mr. Davis’ big toe.
