SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By Rev. Charles E. Dunn Becoming a Christian. Lesson for October 11th. Acts 16:22-34. Golden Text: Acts 16:31. Our lesson narrative unfolds a vivid and jiighly dramatic story. Paul, while in Phillippi, freed a girl who practiced soothsaying from the miserable tyranny of an evil spirit. Her masters, seeing that their in come was cut off, at once brought Paul and Silas into court, aroused; a mob against them, and allowed them to be beaten and imprisoned. Naturally the two men were un able to sleep in the Phillippian jail. Fastened in the stocks they could not change their position, and their backs were sore and bleeding. Un daunted by their misery they pray ed and sang hymns. Suddenly the prison foundations were shaken by an earthquake, and the doors quick ly sprang open. The jailer, greatly alarmed, was prevented from suicide by the vig orous assurance of Paul that no one had escaped. Then, prompted ~ J - ***/ --- *** inner self, he propounded the ques tion, "What must I do to be sav ed?” And Paul responded with the familiar words of our Golden Text "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Obviously Paul meant more than a mere assent to the teachings of the Master. To him salvation was energy. "Dynamos,” the Greek word for power, is one ol the apostle’s favorite words. He is never tired of repeating that God. as we find Him revealed in Christ, is an active force working with us and in us. Too often we .assume that this saving energy is not meant for common folk like ourselves, but only for saints or apostles of unu sual ability and devotion. In this we are mistaken. Salvation is a moral, dynamic attitude and res ponse toward God’s will and pur pose available for every soul. The jailer needed it and was sensible enough to adopt it. If you and I follow in his footsteps we shall dis cover a morale, a poise, a central peace sufficient to refashion our __ 1*1_ _ _ viavianivu nvi » a uvu van ** v say with Augustine, "Thou hast touched me and I am on fire for i thy peace.” All kinds of printing done prompt y at The Carolina Watchman 19 East Fisher St. [FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR ’36 (From The Pioneer) , Oct. 10—(Hampden-Sydney —Hampden-Sydney, Va.

O. Schaub, of State College, by the U. S. Depart ment of Aericulture. The figures includes benefit payments distributed by the AAA and the value of commodities pro duced for consumption on the farm. Cash income from the sale of farm products amounted to $217, 476,000.' AAA benefit payments of $12,293,000 swelled the total cash income to $229,768,000. Farm commodities consumed on the farm were conservatively valu ed at $75,354,000, the dean stated. By way of comparison, he said that the 1934 gross income was $299,075,000, of which $219,279 was derived from the sale of crops and livestock and $17,314,000 from AAA payments. Products consumed at home were valued at $62,482,000. For both years, the cash income from the sale of farm products was based on returns from 78 crop and 13 livestock items. The dean poined out that al though the AAA payments was considerably larger in 1934 than in 193 5, and the income from cash sales was somewhat larger, the value of commodities produced for home consumption rose from $62, 482,000 in 1934 to $75,354,000 in 1935. The greatest value of home consumed products in 193 5 was more than enough to offset the sight decrease in cash income, with the result that the gross income by $6,047,000. All this indicates the trend away from the production of cash crops and toward the production of those things needed on thef arm and by the farm family, the dean stat ed. In other words, farmers are bal ancing their programs and becom ing more self-sufficient. — ... - ■— —■ — ■ ■ ■ ■■ — i MILLER TO DESCRIBE STATE FAIR EXHIBITS F. F.

Thou sands prefer Black-Draught for the refreshing relief it has brought them. Mrs. Bay Mullins, of Lafe, Ark., writes: "My husband and I both take Thedford’s Black-Draught and find It splendid for constipation, bilious ness, and the disagreeable, aching, tired feeling that comes from this condition.” With reference to Syrup of Black-Draught, which this mother gives her children, she says: “They like the taste and It gave such good results."
