The smell of the fresh soil and the feel of the warm spring sun make us feel glad that we’re 1 alive and young. Now that the rows are formed. I a trench must be made down the centers of them to drop the seeds ( in. This is my job. I care-| fully dig a straight trench down I each row. i Dinner time has come, so we ( unhitch the mule and leave him to browse on the fresh spring grass. Mother has made us a , large stack of sandwiches and we eat every one of them, relish ing each bite. Dinner done, we go back, into the garden to finish our work. Beforehand, seed potatoes had been cut into small pieces, each containing an “eye.” We each take a bucket and start to drop potato eyes a foot apart in the trench down the rows. By the middle of the after . noon, we have dropped all the ! potato eyes, and covered them [with fresh soil. We then begin to plant the rest of our garden crops. Green peas are planted ( on a shallow row close to the ■ potatoes. Radishes are planted in a plot close to the house. I Many different vegetables have to be planted early, and we work hard to finish. After the last row of vegetables is ' covered, we tiredly troop into the house. 1 The sun slowly sinks below the horizon, and we are glad that we are through with our spring planting. | Weekly Devuiioiia- i 1 Column ißy JAMES MackCN?!K i * ~ This week’s column continues j an original sermon on Salvation, . by George Nixon, sixteen year old member of the Edenton Pres- | byterian Church. Someone once said, “The only i ’ two things in life we may be cer- !, tain of are death and taxes.”; i Truly we can know that physi-, 1 cal death is coming. If I were! i to tell you that twenty-five of us, I gathered here would die before i : ' this year is over, every one of j ■you would say, “It may be II” j i There may well be some of us gathered here who will not see l the year out. No man can tell whom, or when, the winged mes senger will call. Would you be, ; ready? Are you ready” j What has God planned for those who do not take Salvation? ( Eternal Damnation!

We won’t have our friends , to rely on. We shall be alone, 1 all by ourselves. Then we shall j probably do some soul-searching j —but alas, too late. We shall be j judged according to,our sins, and! be dealt with accordingly. Will ; you pass the judgment before j God Have you Jesus C hrist as | your Defense Counsel? If you j do not, you have no hope. But what of those who say, “There ain’t no such animal as ! Salvation, because man is not I really sinful, and he doesn't need j Salvation from a non-existent j God?” What about these? God i tells us in straight-forward terms: I How shall they escape the pun-1 ishment of hell if they neglect the Salvation God has so freely I ' offered them? Woe be unto them! All right, we have heard the j ( pros and cons of Salvation. Now | —how does one get it? The heathen say to fast, to torture I your body, to do a certain num- j ber of things to receive favor and Salvation in their God’s sight. But, as you notice, all these pa , gan religious practices follow a , ! certain pattern: Do this, do that, j ido the other. But the Salvation j ■ God offers through the spilled- , j blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, | !is entirely free! Christ didn't ! ; die so long ago without a reason., i He didn’t come to earth without j a reason. He came to save you land me. He offers a Salvation j that is free. Just simply trust Jo- j I sus, and give Him your life, and j you have Salvation. | Life alone is found in Jesus, j Only there ’tis offered thee; | Offered without price or money, j ’Ti s the gift of God, sent free; I Take Salvation, j Take it now and happy be.
