HARLEY R. CABE, Clerk Superior Court. PlJ-a-tc-Ji ' Weak-kneed, watered-out, and "sickly" religious philosophies and activities have no right to call them selves Christian. Following Christ if not just a sweet sentimental im pulse expressed In smooth words and formal religious exercises. It is a vital virile, sacrificial faith which leads the true follower of Christ to be willing not only to die for Him, but also to live for Him in the face of opposition, hatred, yes, "through peril, toil and pain.", Let us put away these insipid Im itations of Christianity which so often masquerade under its name and face our time with a call to dlscipleship which demands every fine, noble, manly and womanly quality. The lesson for today re veals that following Jesus (and please remember you are not ready to live for Him until you have, been born again) calls for I. Co-operation (vv. 49, 00) . The placing of the little child in their midst (w. 46-48) and Jesus' words concerning true greatness re vealed to John that he had been wrong in condemning the one who was working for Christ but who was not of their party. The true disciple recognizes that the man who truly loves and serves Christ is to be ac cepted in His name. We may not like his appearance, or his language, or his methods, or his friends, but we ought to love him and co-operate with him. Let us begin to practice that as well as to say we believe it. n. Humility (w. 61-53). Gross discourtesy, evidently in spired by national hatred (the Jews and Samaritans had no dealings with each other), was shown toward the Lord Himself. His reaction gives us an example of humility, for He said not a word against them. The true follower of Jesus should expect such treatment from a hos tile, devil-inspired world and emu late bis master by showing love and in. Patience (Vv. 54-56). The disciples wanted to show their power and authority by bringing the fires of destruction upon the enemies of Christ That spirit has persisted in the church, the desire to call the fires of heaven (and possibly of hell) to destroy those who hinder or op pose us. Such is not the spirit of our God and His "Christ, for He is "long-suffering to us-ward, not will ing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." IT. Sacrifice (W. 57, 58). The writer dislikes to use the word "sacrifice" In connection with our life and service for Christ, for in reality we sacrifice nothing which is not more than replaced (read Matt 19:29). But at the same time It is true that God does call upon us as Christians to hold nothing dearer than our devotion to Him. Following Christ is more than singing glibly or carelessly, 'Til go where you want me to go, dear Lord." The one who starts out with Him is to count the cost (Luke 14: 28-33). He must expect the same treatment as Christ (II Tim. 3:12) and be willing to take it gladly (John 15:20; I Pet 2:21). We ought to make this plain to professed believ ers. Tell young people the truth and you will see that they are ready to respond to it They are willing to give themselves sacrlflcally for causes of this earth why not for Christ? V. Devotion (w. 59-62). It has been said that Christ is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all. Even the demands which love may present on behalf of our aged father must not be permitted to stand between the Lord and His disciple. Christianity is considerate and courteous, and our Lord is not here suggesting any neglect of the duties or amenities of life. The point is rather that the Lord must have first place whatever else may call for second thought The blight on the life and service of most Christians is that almost anything and everything else is al lowed to take first place and the Lord must be satisfied with second or third place. Sometimes one won ders if He is given any real place at all in some lives. No one who puts his band to th plough in God's Kingdom and ther. wants to defer following through un til a more convenient season, or wbc wants to go back to "bid farewell" to someone who for the moment It more Important than the Lord, is fii for His service. The way of joy and usefulness is the way of full and unconditional yielding to Him. Free Soil Tests Offered i ' f h Dr. 1. E. Miles, director of the soil testing division of the state department of agriculture (right) and, Frank Brown, assistant soil chemist (left) are shown preparing to make soil tests for farmers to determine the best suited fertilizer mixture for farms whose owners will be given free information that can be used in obtaining better crops at the lowest cost. Any farmer can secure free soil tests by writing the State. Department of Agriculture at Raleigh. "Now is the time for growers to have their soils tested if they are to use the information that will be furnished to the best advantage," Dr.: Miles said. More than 5,000 farmers received free tests of soii on their farms last season. . " Lieut. Hayman, Ssrf r.

She begins her active army duties with an as signment to West Point. TVA Allows Free Trees To Farmers In W. N. C . Forest tree seedlings again will be distributed free in Western North Carolina during the 1940-41 planting Season through the TVA Extension Service demonstration farm program, R. W. Graeber, ex tension forester of N. C. State col leg, announces. Tle . TVA has al lotted 2,300,000 trees to North Carolina for this purpose. The trees' may be obtained through county agents by farmers who' agree to plant them as ero sion projects under the supervis ion 'cf the extension agents. Ap plications for the seedlings are be ing taken now. The Tennessee Valley Authority makes the trees available in the following counties within the TVA watershed : Avery, Buncombe, Cher okee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madi son, Mitchell, Transylvania, Swain, Watauga, and Yancey. Graeber announced that the fol lowing species have been alloted: Shortleaf pine, 1,325,000; black locust, 600,000; white pine, 350,000; and yellow poplar 25,000. In making the announcement, the extension forester said: "I would like to see as much use made of the short leaf, pine as possible. It is a sure crop tree and can be used prac tically throughout the range of the TVA watershed area." The State college leader said that orders should be placed early to insure an adequate supply. The Tennessee Valley , Authority, has! made allotments, to all states with in the watershed, but plans to re vise the allotments shortly after the first of the new year. States which have filed early applications to exceed their allotments will re ceive trees not requested by other states. "In this way," Graeber explain ed, "North Carolina might get more trees but we certainly do not want to lose any of our allot ment by failing to file applications early." Corn Responds Well To Potash In Test Bigger and better yields of corn are welcomed by every farmer. E, C Blair, extension agronomist of N. C State college, passes along the results of a farm demonstration in Bertie county which shows the value of potash in raising the yield and quality of corn. W. W. Mizelle of Green's Cross corporated with B. E. Grant, Bert ie county farm agent in testing the response of corn to potash. He fertilized a field of corn with 300 pounds per acre of a 3-8-3 ferti lizer before planting. He left one plat without any additional ferti lizer. On 'a second plat he side- dressed the corn with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda when the corn was laid by. On the third plat he side-dressed with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda and 50 pound of1 December 26 Is Last Day On Which Aliens Can Lawfully Register 1 , Thursday, December 26, is thf last day upon which aliens now residing in Macon county can reg ister without incurring the pen alty imposed by the 1940 Alien Registration Act , for failing to comply, Postmaster Thomas W. Porter warned this week. The law provides a-fine of $1; 000, or six months imprisonment, or both, for any alien who wil fully fails to register ' with the postoffice department before De cember 25. To the best of his knowledge, Mr. Porter says, all aliens in the county have complied with the law, but in case there are any' who have not registered as yet, he wants to be sure to warn them to do so before the closing date. Regardless ol whether an alien is registered with the clerk of court under" the North Carolina law or not, he must also register with the post office officials. . , ' . Since registration began on Aug ust 27, seven persons have regis tered at the Franklin post office, filled out a questionnaire, and have been finger-printed.

Blair says that the plat which was side-dressed " with soda and potash yielded 39.1 blshels of corn per acre. The plat which received only nitrate of soda as a side dressing produced 24.2 bushels per acre, and the check plat where nc additional fertilizer was applied yielded 24.7 bushels of corn pei acre. "The season was dry for several weeks before the corn was laid by," the agronomist explained, "and the corn suffered severely from the- .drought. When it did rain, a hard wind preceded the rain. More corn was blown down in plats Nos. 1 and 2 than in the plat where the potash Was applied. The potash plat had stronger stalks and better developed ears." Blair further reported that soy beans sown in the corn at the last cultivation did better in the potash plat.
