OUR HERITAGE FROM ANCIENT ISRAEJT International Sunday School L?iion for J una 291h, 1947. GOLDEN TEXT: "He will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." ? Isaiah 2: 3. Laaaon Taxt: Psalm 119: 105; Isaiah 2: 2-4; Micah 6: 1-8. This is the last lesson in our study of Old Testament history for the time being. Certainly, in this study, we have seen the working of God with his people and how, as long as the people remained faithful to God and his teachings, they prospered and when they turned their backs upon hirrv, they stumbled and fell. We have seen how prophets and good kings struggled to keep their people true to their religion and have realized that, no matter how bad conditions were nor how far the majority of the people wandered from God, there was always a faithful minority who were true to him and tried to use their influence to turn others from their evil ways. While Israel f';ll because of idolatry and sin, the lesson of their defeat was well learned, because they repented while in exile in Babylon. They turned back to God and monotheism, or the worship of One God, was established, preserved and pass-, ed on by the Jews to the whole ?\?orld. This blessing came out of j the captivity of the people of Judah, Christians and even Moh ammedans owe much to the Jews who suffered severe discipline for the sake of the greatest -truth ? the oneness of God. Religion today owes much to ancient Isreal, whose fundament al conception is its earliest ? the spiritual nature of the Diety and His consequent elevation above all human forms, methods and at tributes. Though not clearly ex pressed in Genesis, this seems to be at the bottom of the lessons taught by the first Hebrew, Abra ham, who built altars to the Liv ing God and "called upon His name." From Moses, we get the ideaj of a central shrine for the wor ship of God ? in his day of wild erness wandering, only a taber nacle, but later the wonderful temple of Sodomon in Jeru salem. Also from Moses, by dic tation from God, we have receiv ed the Ten Commandments which Jesus confirmed, when he de clared, "I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it." From the Hebrews, we have received the Word of God. pre served throughout the centuries and handed down to us. This word has been a "'lamp unto my feet and a light unto ijiy path" to countless millions through the ages. The religion which devel oped amon" the Hebbrew people; laid clear and insistent empha sis on the relation of religion to daily life. A religion which is simple a matter of elaborate ceremonial rites and ritual wor ship is no religion at all and such religion was vigorously denounc ed by the prophets. The Prophet Micah gives a summary of the religion whicn the prophets taught. "The teaching of Micah." says Dr. W. G. Elmslie.

At times he is emotional and pathe tic, anon terse and trenchant, and again elevated and sublime, as the occasion and the subject demand. He does not quite com mand the grand style of Isaiah, but he is more sharply telling and direct. In width of survey and weight of movement he dif fers from his great contemporary,] somewhat as a tribute of the people or a preacher of righteous ness differs from a statesman of the first order." In our lesson text he quotes Jehovah as challenging his peo ple to testify against me.'' It is an inspiring thought, followed by a recital of all Jehovah's goodnesses unto them. Modern folk might accept the same chal lenge. Even today the inquiring soul can look about and question wherein God has been unkind. The inperfections and wrongs which exists are not of God's choice of manufacture ? when He finished creation it was de clared "good," but man has had it in his control from that day, and the inquiry should also be made as to what man has done to the world God made and put him into to enjoy and have do minion over. 1948 Expected to Be A Prosperous Year North Carolina farmers can look forward to a prosperous year in 1948, according to Dr. G. W. Forster. head of the Agricultural economics department at State College, who said the national economy is in a highly satis factory condition, and the imme diate future is bright. This means, he believes, that agricultural conditions, with a few possible exceptions, will al so be satisfactory. Explaining his reasoning be hind such a prediction. Dr. Frost er says that farm prosperity da pends almost directly on the con dition of the national economy. Therefore, a close relationship exists between the prosperity of farming in North Carolina and America's industrial activity. As Dr. Forster sees it, this in dustrial activity will remain high during the next several years, and sis a consequence, the agricultural income of this state will remain in a favorable posi tion.

A new breed of cattle, big, white and tick proof, is being developed by two south Texas cattlemen, Fred Tur ner and Harl Thomas. The breed, a cross between the Brahman and Charollais, has til the best characteristics of each, Turner said. When a registry book for the breed, called Charbary, is set up within the next two years, it will become the second ever de veloped in this country. Char brays are three-fourths Charol lais ,the French work-beef and milk breed, and one-fourth Brah man, the sacred cow of India. "Putting one-quarter Brahman in the Charollais is like adding bacon grease Id biscuits," Turner said. "It even improved the Chfcr ollais characteristics. "The best feature of the breed is its rapid growth. Our calves put on 100 pounds a month on the range. "But aside from the growth, the Charbray is as good a milk cow as a shorthorn and will dress out 65 to 68 per cent beef. Most beef cattle dress out around 55 per cent." Turner pointed to a chunky calf. "Look at that rump. The Charbray grows the high-priced cuts." Both parent breeds are "skin breathers" and consequently can stand the hot climate of south Texas. The Charbray inherits this characteristic and because of it is tick-free. Cattle ticks only bother the "English" breeds which have few pores in their skin. Born a light tan, the Charbray usually bleaches ou^ to a cream colored white in a few weeks. The Brahman hump is bred out but the Charbray carries a slight hint of the Brahman dewlap, the loose skin under the neck. All Charbrays have horns. 'We're trying to prove the breed before setting up registry books," Turner said. "We've shipped cattle to Florida, the swamps of Louisiana, California and Oklahoma. All places report the breed doing as well there as here. "We think because it's three quarters Charollais {he Charbray can stand the high cold altitudes as well as the hot plains country." The only other breed develop ed in this country was the Santa Gertrudis, five-eights shorthorn and three-eights Brahman, at Texas' big King Ranch. The Santa Gertrudis breed, a big red' animal, is completely owned by the ranch which will not sell its females. Turner and Wilson plan no such monopoly of their breed.! "We want everyone to use the breed and besides, we don't have enough land to handle that manv cattle." Turner said. HOME-MADE LAMP KILLS MAN Leesburg, Va. ? George Aposto polos, 24-year-old restaurant operator, was electrocuted when he touched the wire in a portable home-made lamp he was using while repairs were being made at his restaurant. Artificial respi ration, administered for an hour, proved futile.

CLAUDE GARLAND Tax Collector, Watauga County O PITY THE POOR CUSTOMER. EXPERT TELLS RETAILERS [ West Chester, Pa. ? Charles S. Wyand, an authority on retail selling methods, says there are three things wrong with retail business. They are: More customers suffer from an inferiority complex. Most clerks are indifferent, condescending and frequently insulting. Most employers who hire the clerks are self satisfied and reluc tant to make progressive changes. Wyand, who is assistant to the president of Pennsylvania State College, told a West Chester Board of Trade meetings that trades people should remember that the average customer is "a fairly inarticulate person, with frustrations and aspirations and deep-seated inferiority feelings, who is trying to buy self-esteem along with his other purchases."
