These are the measures of the greatness ol a man which are common in the world. Even in religious circles there is a seeking for the men with "big names" when something is to be done. Our lesson for today reit erates the principle which we all know but which we practice so little, namely, that whatever is accom plished that is really worth while is done by God and that He uses only humble instruments the "foolish things," the "weak things," the "base things," and "things which are despised" (I Cor. 1:26-29). No flesh is to have any opportunity to glory in His presence. If men who are accounted great by this world are useful to God it is only because they are themselves humble in spir it and service. Gideon came from an obscure family in a small tribe in Israel and was astonished when God called hi:n (Judges 6:15). He asked God for several signs to assure him that he was the chosen instrument of the Lcrd (read Judges 6), but once he was certain he went forward, noth ing doubting. I. An Insignificant Army (w. 4-7). At first thought it seems almost foolish to comment on this story of repeated reductions in the size of Gideon's army in these hectic days when the nations of the earth are living for but one objective to cre ate a fighting machine bigger and more fully manned than that of any other nation. But on second thought it is just the time for such comment, be cause what the nations are doing is a perfect example of the hopeless philosophy of men, while what Gide on did is a presentation of God's way. These notes are being pre pared in a city distant from the writer's home, where he is attend ing a conference of national leader in a field of great and international importance. A long session just con cluded was addressed by a number of brilliant and capable men and women and the conclusion they reached was that America was a badly befuddled nation, lost without a Fnse of direction in a wilderness of incoherent and inherently con tradictory theories and about to lose its dearly bought freedom, unless someone points the way out. The only solutions offered were bigger and better human programs, and ..hen a suggestion was made that ur need might be spiritual the dis ' ussion was promptly directed in ..neither direction. We need the lesson today that it . ; by the seemingly insignificant deon's band that victory is to be ..jtained. Take courage, ye 309, rid ;urselves of the 22,000 fearful ones, : 't Cod sift out the 9,700 who are . t alert to the danger of the enemy, id then, under some Gideon who j obedient to 'he command of God, 10 forward to victory. You are the hope, and the only hope of our nation. Do not fail God in this crucial hour. II. Obedience to God's Command fvv. 15-23).

Si, 1 e ar.i his band are sent for a ;rd ' vh s;ranse weapons and even -an ,or instructions. it ii nut uars to question "Why?" . en Gnd tells us to move forward. 7; en will we learn that He knows ire than we do, and that obedience ill we need to render unto Him? '."h ild, to obey is better than to Tiiice, and to hearken than the , t of rams" II Sam. 15:22). ".I. The Sword of the Lord and of . :eon (vv. 18, 20). While some folk err in counting .'! Lord out and making everything iend on man, there are a few v...o make the opposite error and .:ome fatalistic in spirit and rela tively useless to both God and man - because they hold an imprjper viv-w of the manner in which the Lord works through human agen ci s. A man who objected to soul I' innlng efforts, and especially per- nal work, said that he believed Clod could save a man if he were : one on the top of the Alps." Of cjurse He could, but God does not ordinarily work that way. It is the iword of the Lord" yes, but do not forget that it is "the sword of the Lord and of Gideon." God has eraciously condescended to do His work on earth through human agen cies. Let us be ready and subservi ent instruments for His use, but let us at the same time be alert and active in His service. The two are not at all inconsistent, in fact the onefcwhom God chooses to use is usually the one who is already busy about His work. ANN STREET METHOUlST L. D.

J. H. Hardy, of Surry County, finds that corn on land that was subsoile I two years ago is at least one-third better than his other corn. He wants to sub-soil 50 more acres this fall. the hornyheads of the little up land creeks and bnmehes. They got a peculiar teehniijue of sensory perception and wrist ac tion. Some of them were destined to make the discovery that sheepshead fishing is the apothe osis, or something like that of branch-hornyhead fishing, that a post-graduate course with the sheepshead is Real Fishing, and that the place of all places is Cape Lookout. That great mass of granite blocks ranging up to the size of a piano which Senator Simmons in his wisdom had the United States government dump, in the manner of a Gargantuan corn pile, out from the shore. These sheepshead anglers do not vaunt themselves as of superior caste, like the bonefishers or the inspired fly flingers, but they know what is what, they know what they like, and they are con tent. Now a marine officer, with gig and submarine equipment, has bodily invaded the element of the sheepsheal and slain his hundreds of pounds. This looks serious, as well as sort of hoggish; but taking into consideration the slimy, treacherous surface of the rocks and the more than occasional roughness of the sea there, it may be doubted that he will have many persevering or successful imita tors Greensboro Daily News. SUCCESS AT THE START The East Carolina Wild Life club, composed of nearly two hun dred sportsmen interested in pre serving game in this section, met decided success in its first action. On Monday of this week, the hunters and fishermen met in Beaufott, effected their organiza- THURSDAY JULY 21, 1938 tion, and drew up requests to be presente 1 to the State Board nf Conservation and Development, then in session on the coast. One of their requests was for shorter quail and turkey seasons, to a. low depleted covies and flocks to multiply. The old season, No. vember 20 to Februaryl5, was too long, they maintained, and asked for a December 1 to February 15 season, a 10-day decrease. The State board seeing that it had the cooperation of these representa tive sportsmen, set the season at December 15 to February 20, a 20-day decrease that should aid greatly in replenishing North Car olina's fields and forests with wild life. The Eastern Carolina Wild Life club has begun a movement that should result in making North Car olina a better hunting state. Ne Bern Tribune. 4-H Boys and Girls To Meet At College Raleigh, July 20.

SHEESHEADING AT CAPE LOOKOUT. A qualified member of the an cient and accepted order of Wal-. tonians will tell another member,' where a good fishing hole has! been found, but seldom sees occa-, sion to have the bellman call the information through the streets. However, those who have proved it out we have heard testify that i there is no object in maintaining reticence as to the sheepshead fish-1 ing at the Cape Lookout breakwa- j ter, seeing that everybody goes j there anyway, and few ever seem j to come away with more than a specimen or two of this particular ; fish. j The way to make a violinist is I to start him at the age of six;! same prescription for a master of j golf.
