THE CURE FOR HARD TIMES By REV. C. T. THRIFT (Continued from last wek; WE SHOULD HE HONEST WITH GOD We ought to be honest not only with our fellowmen but with God also. We are not to let money be the ruling passion of our lives. Wt are not to set our hearts on riches. "The love of Has Strength, Energy Of 20 Years Ago ROBT. A. BTRATE "I suffered ten years with as bad case of stomach trouble as any man ever had. It was impossible for me to ever enjoy a meal without suffer ing. I was terribly run-down. “Five bottles of Sargon made me feel like a new man. I have gained 16 pounds and have as much strength and vitality as I had twenty years ago. I have never found anything to equal Sargon Soft Mass Pills. They regulate me perfectly.”—Robert A. Straie, 425 West 24th Street, Okla homa City. The demand for Sargon and Sar gon Soft Mass Pills has probably bro ken all records for the length of time they have been on the market. * Taylor-Matfthews Pharmacy, Roa noke Rapids; Rosemary Drug to., Rosemary, Agents.—(Adv.) 50 Years’ Use of Black-Draught "About fifty yean ago,” aaya Mr. Lewie G. O’Shields, of Port ersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for consti pation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in rais ing my children. "1 nave used uiacs-uraugnc for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indiges tion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. « **I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizzi ness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many peo ple, in my time.’* THEDFORD’S BLACK-DRAUGHT For CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION, BILIOUSNESS Women who need a tonic should take Cardui.

I The Bible contains many warnings 'about covetousness. It is in the Ten Commandments. The Master said: “Beware of covetousness, for man’s life consisteth not on the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Lk. 12:15). “Lay up not for yourselves treasures upon earth—but in heaven. If thou wilt be perfect go sell that thou hast and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, (Matt. 6: 19,20; 19:21). Hear the great apostle: Mortify therefore, members which are upon earth: for nication, uncleaness, inordinate affec tion, evil concupisence, and covetous ness which is idolatry.” (Col. 3:5). “For this ye know, that no whore monger, nor unclean person, nor covet ous man, who is an idolator, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of God.” (Eph. 5:5). “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (Tim. 6:17-19). “Not because I desire a gift; but I de- I sire fruit that may abound to your 1 account—an odor of sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to , God.” (Phil. 4:17-18). But this sin of covetousness is the most insidious of all temptations. LaSalle, the popular confessor of the Middle ages has left | it on record that of the tens of thous ands that confessed to him their sins not a one ever confessed to the love of money. But what has covetousness to do with hard times and a financial pan ic? Much in every way. Listen to the prophet Malachi: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the store house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out such a blessing, that there will not be room enough to re ceive it. And I will rebuke the de vourer for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine ca3t her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.” (3:8-11). The tithe is very ancient. Abraham gave tithes. Jacob pledged to the Lord a tenth of all that the Lord gave him. It was a law of the Jews. Surely we ought not to do less since we fol low Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us. The United States and the State of North Carolina both recognize the validity of the tithe which we owe to Almighty God, for exemption is allowed not only on ten per cent but on as much as 15 per cent of one’s income given to religi ous or charitable purposes. I just j cannot help wondering how much dis-! crepancy there is between what our people give and the exemption which they claim on income tax. Will a man rob God? That is bad. Will he lie about it to the tax commissioner? That is worse. Now we come to tne conclusion oi the whole matter. Does God deal very harshly with us if he sends hard times and financial panics upon us? We are only tenants and God is the owner. If we rebelled against a land lord and abused and belittled his hon ored name; if we gave him no salu tation and no respect; if we despised and broke his commands and laws; if we refused to pay him his rent and then lied about it, what could we ex pect at his hands? If he let us go on in such a course would he not be acquiescing in our deviltry ? Is the same not true of God who made us and loves us? If he gave us abun dance at all times in view of the way we treat him and his laws would lie not be rather encouraging us in our lawless career and hell-bent course? It seems to me that he would. Then the cure for hard times is to keep the Lord’s day holy, to revere the holy name of God, and to worship Him in His holy temple; to obey His laws and to render unto God the things that are God’s. This is the whole duty of man. Every one who s doing this is doing his duty to save his country from calamity. Those ,vho are donig otherwise cannot com plain. By their evil deeds they are winging the wrath of God upon our nation. Let every mar. get right with God and do his duty. (THE END) -n Though Mrs. Mary Maitland of Lon. don has been sentenced to nine years in prison for theft the police have been unable to learn her real inden tity. ^ | W. M. Morrell, a church leader at Ystrad, Wales, turned out to be the man who had committed burglaries by night in that town for many years. Few State Farmers Profit By Annual Census of Farms “North Carolinians cananswer crop acreage questions better than any oth er Southern farmers because they have been reporting such to the tax listers for the past twelve years,” said Frank Parker, Agricultural Sta tsitican for this State, ina Raleigh radio talk last Thursday night. “And ye tfew of our farmers appre date the value of annual Farm Cen sus information. Too few attempt to benefit by this or any other govern ment reports. How many realize that ‘a farmers’ judgment is no better than his information?’ “A doctor must have certain infor mation before he can treat a disease. Just so it is with advisors and statis ticians. The farmer must furnish the needed facts. One only blindfolds him self by not giving and not using bas ic current farm facts. This is true of j the Farm Census secured by tax list I ers. “This census provides facts from [farmers instead of guesses. It affords yearly information by counties that is superior to any private information available to speculators. However, the farm census acreage results are not speculative nor is it available to anyone until after the crops are har vested. This is available for agents and teachers in aiding farmers in planning their next year crop acre ages. “The 1929 census results were pub lished in the January Farm Forecast er of this year. These were sent all over the State. A copy is now being sent to your township lister. Ask for it. It locates ‘supply and demand’ by counties. “The tax listing machinery provides the best and cheapest possible means l'or getting farm acreage facts. The objection is that at ‘rush’ times it does .crowd the list, oi’ taxables. Still the farmers are certainly due this much for their heavy taxes. “Each farm owner should be pre pared to report his crop acreages in tended this year. If not definitely known yet—aproxiniate in comparison with last year’s acreages planted. This will he'p the hsters and the service that xtou exepect of the Department of Agrici ure.” -□ “I wan diamond rings, not plain ones,” grunu. d a robber who stop ped Mrs. Kat.Jeen Coros in Chicago.
