Farmer Has Big Place In National Defense Plans "During the present world crisis each true American citizen has a very definite obligation to fill, and even though the farmer may not be called upon to serve actively in military service or to work in plants that manufacture articles needed in the defense program, he still has a most important task and part in our program" said Mr. S. R. Griffin, Jr., Field Supervisor of the Emergen cy Crop ^nd Feed Loan Office of the Farm Credit Administration. . "It is a recognized fact that the armed forces and those engaged in the manufacture of defense weapons, etc., must be fed and clothed. Therefore, the farmer should put forth his best * efforts by producing sufficient, I food, feed, and other crops to meet the these needs, as well as those of his own. At the same ^ time, his activities and his pro- . gram should be so planned as to ^ conserve and build up his lands,' ^ which is one of greatest heri- I p tages. * y "In agriculture, as well as in T every field of our National Defense Program, the Government ,. is lending every assistance pos sible. The Extension Service through the County Agents is to ^ assist the farmer in planning a balanced farming program, and che Farm Credit Administration, ^ through its agencies, is assisting in financing the farmer's program." We are informed by Mr. Griffin that his organization stands ready to be of financial assistance to all farmers who are eligible and in need of production loans. Applications may be placed at the office of the Clerk of the Court at any time.

Couutn 1: SYt^r^STh CA1WU"". THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1941 ! OM flatter j (By Dan Tompkins?Reprinted by request) . From out the dim distance of antiquity comes the voice of Job, inquiring: "If <-f toow again?" And then the mind of faith asserts. I kn that my Redeemer liveth." The avowed followers of the Nazarene have often made a sorry mess of things in this sorry world, with their eternal bickering, division of creed, attempted enforced conformity, and lack of understanding of the heart of the Master, and have carried the sword where the olive branch would have been the better weapon. But there are three homely shrines of humility about - which every sect of trinitarian Christians can meet on common ground and worship a common God?the Manger-Cradle in Bethlehem, the Cross of Golgotha, and the Empty Tomb in the Garden of Joseph of Arimathea. Another year is passed, and once more we come to the Easter season. More of our friends and those we love have gone on with the innumerable caravan of the sons of men, that is journeying into the Somewhere Thev sleen beneath the storm-tossed seas, in the frozen northland, under the wind-swept prairies, amid the dusty ruins of ravished cities, beneath the poppies of France, under the sands of the desert, and upon the peaceful hilltops of the pleasant countryside. We, too, are one year nearer our fast-approaching dissolution. There is is no reasonable explanation of the miracle of life and death. We know not, by the light of reason, but that our bodies shall return forever to the dust from which they came, and that we shall nevermore behold the forms and faces of those we have . loved and lost. We have no hope but in the Tomb in the garden of Joseph of Arimathea but looking upon that Empty Tomb, from which the Nazarene, by the power of His own might, raised Himself from the dead, we know, by faith in the Lion of the tribe of Judah, that our bodies shall be raised incorruptible, and we can say, with Job: "Yet in my flesh shall I see God." The Land of Promise is ahead of us, where our -; frustrated hopes will find fruition, where our puny efforts will become mighty works, where we shail again greet those we love, where the scars upon t>ur hearts shall be obliterated, where our wounded spirits shall be healed by the Balm that is in Gilead, where all tears shall be wiped from our eyes, and where there shall be no more restraining sea to bind us to the island of our exile. i. / This is the message of Easter. These glad tidings proclaimed by the silence of the Empty Tomb. Once again all Christendom gathers about its sacred precincts to worship, to wonder, and' to hope. In His own good time, the Christ who arose from the tomb and cast off the body of death, can and will command the con tn mvfi ud their dead. All nature Cell 1/11 ?W1U WAV uww WW D- - ? ?g~ proclaims the return of the eternal Spring, summoning the dead things to life again, and hails the Mighty Conqueror. Hosts of angelic choirs chant His praise, and the dying and distraught race of men find in Him their only hope. Sapiist Ministers To Meet QUALLA Dr. D. D.
