Sixty i minute, 3,600 each hour, 87,^)00 each day—lost, condemn ed, because no one ever was 1 concerned enough to tell them the good news of salvation and redemption. There are more t in the world today who have? never heard the Gospel than in the time of Christ. 1 It is the responsibility of the individual Christian, and of the Christian Church as a whole, to make known the Gospel. The one purpose for which the church was founded was that it • might Jse an instrument through ■ which the lost would hear the ■ Gospel. The church is not to ■be a .social organization, not aj ■fashion Show, not a haven of ■reat, but a lighthouse in a dark jkvbrld, pointing the lost to Him wlk> is the Light of tjte World, tj fhf individual Chris?iaiI l iS'7eft living in the world after his , conversion that he might be an ambassador for Christ. As Christians, our homes arc in heaven, the earth is alien to us; we are here as representatives of our King, and we have no husi nesS in anything that is not His business. In Other word!, the Christian who is not a soul win ning Christian has no purpose for .living here on earth, he might as well depart and be with the Lord. Do you spend much time in prayer for the lost persons about you? Qur Lord would arise while it was yet dark that He I might spend some time alone with His Father. If Christ felt j the J need rof prayer, how much more should we! Too busy?, JohjC.Westey spent an hour in l P ra ® : each day before break fast*! Someone once asked him whatthe did on days he was too busjdto pray. “Then I spend two|»urs in prayer,” he answer ed. "9joo busy? You have plen ty dHime to watch TV, to read the Newspaper, to- visit with youigffriends. You are not too gto pray. If you are too o pray, you are too busy long is it since you wit to some unsaved person his need of Christ? How long ?js it since you knew the joy ‘Jf leading a lost person to the of Grace? Or are you 2Jshamed of Christ?

A tithe? The tithe is the to return less to Him is toe steal from God. For ex ampljf., if you make SIOO a week. $lO fithat belongs to God If you jure only $5.00 to the wbrk of yStt church, you are stealing s6.oo Som God. You don’t begin to gM until you have returned the ■yh. You can't afford it You Ma afford a late-model car, * TVjKtt, cigarettes, good clothes. You fjn’t afford it. You can’t afford «ot to tithe. It is a clear of the Word of God that m W«ft#o not give in proportion ■to o»v4 income, God will rtduce anything you must take that first step—you must begin. Have you ever stopped to think that today, now, is the future that you were looking forward to a few years ago,, and in which you had plan ned to. do so many wonderful things—begin so many things? Yesterday is gone, you may never see tomorrow, today is yours. Use it to begin, to take that first step on that journey you so eager ly planned yesterday. Begin— nothing can be accomplished, nothing can be completed that doesn’t first have a beginning. And now that 1958, the new year, is here, there is no better time than now to—begin! Yesterday—One of tne strangest gunfights ever to take place in the Old West, was between Clay Allison, gunman, and another un known gunman. As the story goes, each agreed to dig together have if he had been honest. The person who desecrates the Lord’s Day will lose time in sickness that will more than equal the time he should have spent in church and Sunday School. The work of Christ is urgent! Do you have a burden for it? The work of Christ is urgent! Let us as Christians consecrate ourselves anew to the proclama tion of the Gospel!

Buyers and millers observing the samples indicated that when these peanuts are mixed with standard varieties of darker color ed skins it will appear as a mix ture which might not be desir able to some end users. However, they stated that generally in the end the skins are removed from the peanuts and there would be no difference to the consuming public. “We believe these new strains show considerable prom ise and in the field trials show ed distinct resistance to the stem rot and pod rot disease,” says C.
