So also would Jonathan, son of Saul, have said of his friend David, "He must increase, but I must decrease.” Jonathan’s Soul Knit With David’s. David’s victory over Goliath chal lenged the utmost admiration of Jonathan who witnessed the conflict. Such courage and heroism he had never seen. Brave as he was himself Jonathan had suffered Goliath’s chal lenge to go untaken for 40 days. Then came the stripling from Bethlehem with his shepherd’s sling and stones from the brook and vindicated God’3 muse when even Jonathan dared not to undertake the conflict, with the result that "the soul of Jonathan was ljnlt with the soul of David, and Jona than l°ved him as His own soul.’’ It -wa* their likeness of soul that make them knit together so well and so abidingly, for "no man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old gar ment."

O Jona than, thou wast slain in thy high places. I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of wo men.” Not only with feminine tender ness did Jonathan love David, but as a woman leaves all that her father hath for the love of her lover, so Jonathan forsook throne and scepter and all the glory of his father’s king dom for his love of David. “Thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion,” snarled Saul at Jonathan. ‘‘For as long as the son of Jesse liveth on the ground, thou shalt not be es tablished, nor thy kingdom.” Jona than knew all this well. But what things were gain to him he counted loss for the excellency of the love he bore David. “The Friend of Sinners.” “And Jonathan stripped himself of that robe,-that was upon him, and gave it'to David.” Greater love hath no man than this, except the love Christ Jesus, the Friend of sinners, has shown to p!1 of us and sealed with his own blood.

Raleigh, Sept. 16.—Clothing North Carolina’s farm land in a green man tle this winter is the goal of a gigan tic program just launched by the State College Exetension Service. From east to west, farm agents are working with farmers in mapping out a winter legume program, according to E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at the college. Among the most popu lar of these legumes are Austrian win ter peas, hairy vetch, and crimson clover. Scattered reports from agents in all parts of the State indicate that more of these winter cover crops will be planted this year than ever before. Listing the benefits to be derived from such crops, Blair said: “Legumes protect the land from erosion during the months of heavy winter rains; they increase the fertility of the soil when turned under in the spring; and the Agricultural Adjustment Admin; istration will pay farmers for plant ing them.” Winter legumes, if planted early enough, will reduce the loss of soil from eroision and leaching. Then, too, they are of invaluable assistance in the establishment of a crop rotation best suited for soil maintenance and improvement. In addition, the State College agro nomist pointed out, these legumes provide winter and spring grazing, and spring grazing, and when incor porated with small grain give a high- Greet State Col lege Students " r Rgh .'Jit <' • M B|| Raleigh, Sept. 16—Before Freshman Week ends Thursday with the begin ning of elasswork, first year msn at State College Will be intimately ac quainted with the four top-ranking officials pictured here.
