WELMES "The smallest ot all the seeds; but when it grows up, it is larger than any herb" ? Mt. 13: 31 UNHEALED SCARS < When the Temple of Jesus' Body was restored and glorified, why did He not heal up the scars and imprints of the criminal punish ment to which He was subjected? First, to convince us that He was the same person who was "born of the Virgin Mary,, suffer ed under Pontius Pilate, was cru cified, died, and was buried " Second, He wore them as trop hies of love. A soldier who has a gash on His cheek, or the Purple Heart, is proud of His wounds. The wound is no mar to his beauty but a badge of honor. Jesus' battle scars are His wounds which He takes to heaven td the right hand of the Father. A third and most powerful rea reason is: He wore the wounds to remind us that if He had not es caped persecution, neither shall we. As He said to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, "Was it not to be expected that the Christ should undergo these sufferings and enter so into His glory? (Lk. 24, 26) And to the Apostles at the Last Supper, "Remember my word that I said to you; if they have persecuted me, they will also per secute you." (Jo. 15, 20) The scars are a reminder to us of the eternal law that unless there is a cross, there will never be an empty tomb; unless there is a crown of thorns, there will never be the glorified body. Heaven is won in a war a gainst evil, and God hates false peace in those who are destined for this war. Dr. Howard G. Hanson, teacher at Young Harris College, also came home for the week-end with her parents and her brother. STOMACH TROUBLE?

Try edging your flower border with lettuce, endive and parsley. They blend in well with ageratum, lobelias and similar plants. For you folks in the mountains, rhu barb can be used in a large border if care is exercised when locating plants- Asparagus ferns make a nice background In late summer and can be cut for flower arrange ments- Don't cut the ferns too early because they are manufac turing food for next year's crop. Prune your watermelons this sum mer if you want some big ones. Save two or three of the largest, best shaped melons on each vine Pruning should be done when the melons are about the size of a fruit jar. Try this and See what happens: Plant some lima beans "eyes down" and some with the "eyes up". Cover the seed about one inch deep and keep the soil loose as they come through. Placing the seed in this manner will re quire a little extra care from the usual procedure of dropping them in the row. Mark the row so that you will know where to make your observations. .
