SUFFICIENT GRACE
Paul tells us of some affliction of
his which he calls a thorn in the
flesh. ?v
We know not the nature of the
affliction, but it was something very
undesirable or he would not have
spoken of it as a thorn in the
flesh.
He tells us that it was a messen
ger of Satan. Then. Strang^ though
it sounds, he says it was given to
him. It was given to buffet him.
He also tells us why it was given
to him. It was to prevent his be
ing ruined. He was a great preach
er. He appears to have-done more,
according to the records we have,
J
than any oX the other apostles
Therefore it would hawe been a great
lot* had he been ruined.
But what "was wrong with this
man, or was there anything wrong?
He tells tie he had revelations that
others did I\af. have; and he wa? in
danger of becoming proud. '
Desiring to he relieved of the
i trouble he went to the Lord about
jit . Three timet he asked that It
might be taken away.
The Lard would not do that, b\it
|?as willing 40 do something better.
I He often gives more than we ask.
He said to Paul. "My gyoce is.suf
ficient for theok!1 In other words
he would not take the affliction
away, but would enable his servant
to bear It. What difference does
lit make, whether he lightens the
y load or strengthens the shoulder to
carry it? He also said, "My strength
is made perfect in weakness." As
some one el^ has said, "Man's ex
tremity is God's opportunity." .
That was perfectly satisfactory to
Paul. He would willingly bear the
sufferin^plty* God was to empower
him to dp it. Hear^iim say, "Most
gladly, therefore, will X rather glory
I in my Infirmities, that the power of
of Christ may rest upon. me. There
|fore I take pleasure In- lnflrmitis,
[in repfroaches, In necessities, in per
secutions, in distresses for Christ's
sake: for when I am weak, then
km I strong.'"
?Elsewhere Paul says, "In all these
|thrtngs we are more than conquerers
through him that loved us."
II Cor. 12:1-10.
A BOOMERANG,
HUMDINGER WOE
By A. B. CBriant
Tune "My Old Kentucky Home"
I sjit myself upon a log,
In the middle of the woods,
After making six hours,
And doing the best I could.
I sing for you just here
And tell to you my story,
As fools will be fools
In spite of God and His glory.
Chorus
But a fool, the world makes of me,
Is what it seems to want,
A boomerang humdinger woe,
And 111 be it if you don't.
A laboring man knows this,
And knows it but too true;
If he's honest in his toils,
He's laboring Just for you,
And then to ball him out,
I say it is'a dirty shame.
Because eternity's glory
Is not fof men of your name.
Since I am what I am ,
Neither am I what you say.
j Is your name upon the scroll,
To be oiled at Judgment Day ?
I! not..I ask again, why?
Why have you done me so,
To offer the basest of insults,
To one you did not know?
A fair honest deal rve never had, ?
And yet I know the ways of men;
*1 might say their epicurean tastes.
Everywhere I have ever been.
It it's supervisor's meddlings,
J Or mlnoa foreman's views,
wI give ft to you as it Is, ?" ' '
(Because the world needs the news.

Save Leguqae Seed
To Improve Land
North Carolina agriculture Is ser
iously handicapped by a lack of leg
umes to enrich the soU. _Jf every
fanner should grow his own" seed,
legume production could be easily
increased by 1,000,000 acres in the
next two or three years. |
"The present scarcity of all kinds
of legume seed Remonstrates that
farmers cannot depend upon the
? a . 4
purchase of seed from outsiders to
supply the needs," says Enos C
Blair, extension agronomist at State
Colege "W. A. Davis, Johnstoi^
county farmer, has seen the mistake
of trying to cultivate land without
legumes and. has provided for an
ample supply in the future. On his
130 acres of crop land, 30 acres were
devoted to corn and soybeans last
year. He harvested 75 bushels of soy
beans without interfering with his
com cro.i. From 10 acres Jn sow
peas. he gathered 80 bushels by
hand. He also has 10 acres In corn
and velvet beans. The latter have
not been threshed, but will supply
all he needs for 1934. The legume
vines will also greaty enrich the
soil when turned under."
Mr. Blair says any farmer desir
ing to improve his land can, with
very little difficulty, increase hisj
crop of legumes without seriously
Interfering with his money and
food crops. He can start in a small
way and continue to harvest plant
ing seed until enough has been se
cured to plant the desired acreage
each year. .
