The reader might, therefore, be interested in a few facts on the moon, and its perform ance, in 1956. j There will be twelve full moons I in the - United States this year. Contrary to what most people be lieve, the moon is not full just once ; a month but, on rare occasions, there are two full moons in one month. This happened in October of last year, when, ,on October 1st and 31st, there were fifll moons. This year, hwever, that rarity wil) not ocrui'. , i The first full moon of, the year takes place on January 27th. The1 last full .moon of the year will oc cur on- Decemberl7th; and. there fore, it will be seen that the per iod between full moons is slightly less than a month. - As -an example of the spacing i. between full moons, the first on , CIHCLE MEETS The Mary Long Circle of Bethel !

The Administration is al- fo asking that the farmer be paid ' for land he puts under certain soil " conservation practices. , The major fallacy in the farm program in the United' States for . the last few years has been that -the same aid formula has been ap- , plied to both big and small farm- ers. In other words, the big farm er, who' enjoyed ninety per cent parity price supports for so many , .years often got cheeks from the Government amounting to as much as $100,000. His profit on such price support operations often ran 10.000 or 15,000 or even more. , .To correct this situation, manv proposals have been advanced. Two .of them, both of which we (Support, are a sliding support .scale, which means that high pries ; .supports will be granted for the . :first fifty or one hundred acres, and then su ports will decline for, :the next fifty or hundred acres to a lower figure, and then again, and .po on. Another solution proposed is, that the amount of money prn vided by the Federal Government jwjll be limited to so : much per ; farmer. Either of these proposals WiH help correct a bad situation. " . The policy of the farm program jOfr this Government should be to .safeguard the livelihood of the tsmall farmer, while at the same ;titne not providing an opportunity for big farmers to take the monev oi the taxpayers and make tens of thousands of dollars with it while growing crops that we do not have .and which are already in surplus. jThis basic correction is the No. 1 jieed in our farm legislation, behind . only the need for economic relief of ! farmers who are now threatened I with extinction. ,, I occurs in which there are two full moons. As a further guide, one can remember that "'the time be tween , a ..new- moon and its firsj; quarter, and between a quarter and a full moon, is slightly over seven days. Thus the time between the appearance of a new moon and its last quarter is about twenty-two days. . Little Pitchers , " "I could tell he was talking about me, wasn't he?" "Well, yes, he was."

AoHucmfced Oil Dealer - At i: -,i ft ' v-, : .Answering the.criticism.xOf ithe Scribes and the -Pharisees because of his kindly treatment and friend ly attitude toward the, publicans and sinners who came, to, hear him preach,- Jesus propounded v three parables to them. j - . The first of them was the"Par. ! able of the ' Ninety and "- Nine; which relates . the story or the search by- the - shepherd -.for ;ane missing sheep out of his- flock of a hundred. Having rfound ;it, vthe shepherd rejoices .- and .. celebrates his good fortune with , hiaf riends and -.neighbors.. .The.. application Jesus mads was that-"likewise, jpy shall be in heavenower.e sinner that repenteth more., than . ninety and nine -righteous persons ,. who need no repentance." The Parable of the ''Lost Piece of Silver" tells how a woman carer fully searched throughout jher house, with a lighted candle, and finally .'with a broom because she had lost, one out of ten, of her.coins. , Finding it, she likewise called her friends and neighbors together to rejoice with her. So, also, f';tjiere is joy in. the presence,! the-, angels of God over we sinner that .repent eth." ; . These parables plainly Jeach that 'the repentance of the meanest of fmankuid, however insignificant Jn social position, or degraaeajn cnar acter," says A. B. Bruce, "calls forth a sympathetic thrill. -In - the heart of God. It teaches, us thai all souls and their moral , Wstory are precious in God's sight, and that every human being has value in the esteem of heaven as. endow ed with reason and free will, and subject to infinite moral .possibili ties. On this earth, men are very cheap in one another's esteemivfor various reasons, theoretical anfl practical. Jesus assure us that, in heaven, human beings are f not valued so cheaply. f 1 f , One feature of the story, o the lost sheep should be interesting to the average man and woman of .to day. It is this: that the lost Bheep had no intention oi wiiiuuy nesen ing the flock. It had carelessly and heedlessly plodded along ,jts way,; turning aside to -. .enjoy : a tempting bit of pasture heretani there, too engrossed with, the, ma-' terial pleasure of each moment.to; keep in mind the leadersljip of :Uie shepherd and the companionshjp. of the other sheep. Its danger came when it was separated from ;fche flock and was only realized in, a moment of surprised awakening. One of the greatest dangers, of .our own enjoyable and engrossing age Wer- in this analogy. - The story is told of a Sunday. School. teacher; who, one Sunday morning, refused to- perform jls regular function as a teacher aad, instead, told- his class to.-: proceed with, their own worship vwn ile' Jie, went to find a missing member. This young man had not been t at tending the class- regularly, , but, for some weeks, had been absent and his absence had worked, on, the teacher's sense of responsibility unf til he considered it of more import ance that morning to make an. ef fort to find this particular. lad. than to. assist in the worship, of those already assembled. The teacher found his .mipaing pupil and was influential in bring ing him back to the class,, hut little did he dream or expect at bat time that he was 'claiming, a future bishop. .Sunday School .teachers, parents,and all who'.ome.in,cpn tact with other individuals, particu larly young people, should, resize the immense ' unknown equation; in the algebra of life. ; ; i : The third parable related by Je sus, although not included in pur printed passage is the well knftwn one known as the "Parable rof .Jhe Prodigal .Son." Surely,, no para ble related by Jesus is better known than this one. i'The . fundamental element in the Parable is the de-i cision of the son, when he. realized the terrible condition he was in, to return to his father, confess his sin and seek forgiveness.
