(arm on Hanging Dog Crook, mad* arrangements to haw* sevan hundred thirty foot at drainage ditches dug recently. Technicians at the Soil Con servation service surveyed the ditches, to insure the proper depth and grade on the completed ditch botsams. A local heavy equipment operator was engaged to dig the ditches, 'since It would be a considerable wdertaklng with pick and shovel. Last week the digging was com pleted. and the die will be layed shortly. The tile will be laid by Goffar> Graves. It was necessary to run the ditch through a field of corn which was planted this spring but only a very small number of stalks which were bearing ears of corn were destroyed In the process. Due to the wetness of the field, most at the corn plants were either dead, or st best, very stunted and yellow. There would have jass. a very small amount of Among The Sick P (Heats admitted to Provi dence Hospital, Mrs. Ethel Hem brae. Rt. 3, Murphy; baby Randall Lee Cirtls. Rt. 3.

For a number of years, the Held could be cultivated since the poles fur nished good drainage as long as they were sound. The poles have recently rotted completely, allowing rite ditch B fall In. Whan this happened, the field became flooded and useless for cultivation. Next year, Clinton should be able to plant his entire field In corn with a reasonable assurance that he can produce good crop of corn. He will be another among many farmers in Cherokee County who has found out that It Is a waste of time and effort to try to farm a field which Is subject to drowning. Dozens of satisfied farmers will tell you that lime, fertilizer, or any other effort on wet ground is wasted. The first need for such land is adequate drainage. After that, lime, fertilizer, and seed can be applied with good results.

Life turlaa baa had a longing ? as people * ?th century America. m ?o be farthereat away (ran really knoeing Him. But cartalnly. to know God la ? lew* and aarva Htm. Recently there waa a survey made of collage students con cerning chair Idea at God. The question was asked: "How do you think of God?" SIX <* ** students thought of God as a personality. 41% said thatGod was merely an orderly force of the universe. 29? thoi^hi that Gad did not exist, and 1 student simply stated, "I wish I knew." Long ago Job excallmed. "Oh, that I knew where I might find him." We usually think of Job as an honorable and H> rlght man. But Jobt at one time In his life was searching for God. just as millions of honorable and iqxlght men of our day and age are seeking to find Him. In our quest for God we shouicki't feel ashamed be cause we have a fog of doubt In our minds as to whether he really exists or not. We will all have our doubts at times If we are true Christ ians, because true faith Implies doubt. The fight of faith has m be won over and over again. But we learn by this struggle with Cod through doubt that we are tf> against something to overcome. We -are struggling with God. The more sincerely and desperately a man struggles the more he finds that God is Inescapable. To know God, we can rely upon our power of reason. If someone asked you this question how would you answer? The question is as ? you thai Christ doeen't ?slat, Chan U would he all right ta dlefcei>e*e la Him. But (hat la jun the pant. No oaa can prova tet Ha doeeR*t moat. On Aaotar hand ?a cms' t prova (hat Christ dots exist If we think lhat "aaolag Is batlavlag." But by faith sad only by faith do we live our Christian 11ms from day to day. We know God tteot?h His (lftS Of *>preClaUon The Apoada Paul wrocs to tha Romana: "For (ha lavlalbla dalags of Him alnce tha creadoc of tha world ara clearly aoan, being prwdevod Oirougti (he things tha( ara made." Wa only sead to look at the beauty at nature around us. to listen to the beautiful music of our symphony orchestras and our hymns, to see life la the besuty of btr(h to resiles and to firmly believe that God does exist. Reason uxl appreciation are helpful In knowing God, but to truly know Him (he word Faith la our golden key. If we really want to know what God Is like, then why don't we simply look st Christ? Because It was Christ who reflected God here on this earth. I like to think of Christ as all man In (he truest sense of the term. I believe he possessed all the muscle and sinew of some of our strong men today. 1 believe that Christ smiled very frequendy and possessed humor to the extent that He would have enjoyed a good, clean Joke. But moat of all I believe that Jesus Christ pos sessed humility, something (hat Is very essential in the life of any Christian. Then the best of reason, appreicadon. end faith assures us, not only of a knowledge of God, but of a power by which any life can be made triumphant. A Backward Glance au Years Ago August 21, 1931.

Without a strong Church, ?either democracy nor civilisation caa sur vive. There are four souad reasoas why every person should ettend services regu larly aad support the Church. They are: (l)For his owa sake. (2) For his children's sake. (S) For the sake of his community aad net ioa. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral aad material support. Flea to eo to church regularly and read your Bible daily. 1*7 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wedaaaday Thursday Friday Saturday Verves 1-6 30-38 8-17 4-11 64 1-4 16-19 ? ?? : The psalmist must have known the turmoil of life, even though he lived three thousand years ago. At least he had experienced the peace which comes upon a man when he escapes the bustling world and rests in the quiet stillness of nature's scene. And he caught its spiritual meaning! A man's soul, like his body, needs to be restored. Just as sleep and recreation rebuild our physical strength, prayer and worship re-vitalize our spiritual being. Thoughtfully, our forefathers taught us to spend part of each day in spiritual pursuits. Wisely, they set aside one day of the week for worship. The Church provides opportunity for Sunday worship, and guidance in every-day devotion to God. Copyright 1961, Krister Adv. Service, Inc., Strwburg, Vm.
