Farm Families Need
To Grow Own Food
Farm families probably will have
a higher net income in 1940 than
they had in 1939, says Miss Paul
ine Gordon. - horne management
specialist of the State college ex
tension service. But, unless they
produce their f own food the in
creased income will be overcome
by higher costs of purchased ma
terials, she added."
In an outlook for farm family
living in North Carolina, Miss
Gordon said : "Total receipts for
marketing of farm products are
expected to increase due to im
provement in industrial activities
and in consumer incomes, income
from government payments will
probably be about the same. Non
farm earnings of family members
may increase, with greater oppor
tunities for employment. But, de
spite the improvement in economic
conditions, a large percentage of
the farm families of North Caro
lina will be faced in 1940 with
the problem of stretching incomes
of less than $500 to provide for
all their household needs."
Turning to the subject of "The
Family's Food, the Extension spe
cialist declared: "Costs of produc
ing food for household use in
crease less than do retail ' food
prices, hence farm families can
offset a rise in the cost of their
food by planning to produce a
larger than usual share of their
total food supplies. . Such plans, if
made with nutritional as well as
financial goals in mind, may also
yield returns in the form of im
proved family diets and in better
health.
"North Carolina diets as a whole
are lacking in certain important
foods. The lack of milk is great
est, but there is also a lack of
sufficient fruits, lean meats, poul
try, eggs, whole grains, and, at
certain seasons, fresh vegetables.
Farm families should make every
effort to produce the essential
food need for good nutrition of
the family," : . . . 1
Christianity and forgiveness be
long together. Among the religions
of the earth Christianity stands out
as the one true faith because it prop
erly and adequately meets the prob
lem of sin. In Christ is provided
forgiveness for sin, cleansing from
all unrighteousness, a new birth by
which one enters into a life of holi
ness and power.
Since these things are true it
would seem to be almost unneces
sary to urge God's children to be of
a forgiving spirit. But as Bishop
Ryle says, "It is a melancholy fact
that there are few Christian duties
so little practiced as that of for
giveness. It is sad to see how much
bitterness, unmercifulness, spite,
harshness and unkindness there is
among men." Surely these things
ought not so to be.
I. The Extent of Forgiveness (vv.
21, 22).
"How long do I have to stand it?"
is the question of the human heart
untouched by the spirit of Christ
The injustices of life, the offenses
of our fellow men against us, all
seem to pile up until the burden is
about to crush us. What is the an
swer to man's cry?
The Jews had an answer. Three
times Is enough. Forgive once, yes.
Again, yes But the third time, no.
Peter was big-hearted enough to
more than double that allowance of
mercy, it He was willing to forgive
not just two or three times, but sev
en times. The point to be kept in
mind, however, is that whether for
giveness means three times or seven
times, if there is a limit, it is a mat
ter of reckoning, of keeping books,
and of ultimately bringing down our
judgment upon the heads of the of
fenders. The spirit of Christ swept all of
that aside. He said that one should
forgive 70 times seven. In other
words, Christian forgiveness is to be
untiring, unlimited, to know no
weariness and have no boundaries.
If one really forgives it is because
he has a forgiving spirit and that
spirit is not exhausted by use, but
rather grows by exercise.
A word of caution is in order at
this point. Let no one suppose that
our Lord's instruction means that of
fenses against the law of the land or
against the good order of society are
to be overlooked and condoned. It
relates to the cultivation of a per
sonal spirit of forgiveness, the lay
ing aside of revenge, of malice, of
retaliation which do not become the
Christian. . -
II. The Motive of Forgiveness (vv.
23-34). ,
" Two motives are given in our text,
the first being that since we our
selves are daily and hourly in need
of forgiveness at the merciful hand
of God, we should in turn be merci
ful toward those who sin against us.
Compared with our offenses against
the law of God, we know that the
misdeeds of our neighbors against
us are mere trifles. Remember what
God has done for you, and then when
you are tempted to be hard and un
gracious with your brother, remem
ber the mercy of God.
The second motive is the remem
brance that a day of judgment is
to come. There is always a time of
reckoning ahead even as was the
case with these servants. Remem
ber not only what God has done for
you- and is doing for you, but what
you must yet expect Him to do in
that day of judgment.
in. The Importance of Forgive
ness (v. 35). '
A man dealing with his fellow man
is apt to think that it is merely a
matter between man and man. We
are not dealing with a straight line
between ourselves and our brother
(that was Peter's error), but with a
triangle at whose apex is God Him
self. If I expect God to forgive me,
I must let that same forgiveness
flow out to my brother. If I deal
with him as though God had nothing
to do with the matter, then I must
not try to count God's forgiveness
into the picture when I stand in
debted before Him.
Here again we express a word of
caution. Let no one suppose that
our redemption in Christ is contin
gent upon what we do toward our
brethren. "For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of your
selves it is the gift of God; not of
works, lest any man should boast"
(Epn. 2:8, 9). Nor does the truth
of our lesson mean that we are
somehow going to bargain with God,
trading a bit of our forgiveness to
ward others for His forgiveness of
us. God is not interested in such
transactions. But it does mean that
if you cannot or will not forgive, you
may well consider whether you art
a Christian at all.
