U ill Agriculture Mean lire I />?
Agriculture is to be assigned a definite place
in the defense program. Ahead)' there are some
who are asking"!! it will m'easuie up to the
task?
It is going to be no easy task for Martin Coun
ty farmees-te increase their peanut crop by 11,
000 or even 7,000 acres, and to boost their soy
bean crop by 4.700 acres Possibly it will mean
that the tobacco acreage will have to be reduc
ed, or plantings to other crops limited. Time
and time only, will give the answer, but it
we continue to lambast tin capitalists, the lab
orers and antics of others,.this agricultural sec
tion will have to sacrifice something. To re
fuse to plant those extra peanuts and soy beans
will be tantamount to a strike in an industrial
defense plant.
Possibly by another spring or another year
we will be glad to work without striking, in
vest without questioning, and plant without
quarreling over allotments and prices.
So Much doing Ihi
As the clock pendulum swings first to one ex
treme, we as a people are swinging to an ex
treme and away from the fundamental things
of life We have traveled so far in an unchar
tered direction that it is difficult for us to com
prehend the serious situation facing the world,
including that little part where we live and
where we go merrily upon our ways, enjoying
untold blessings and ignoring the danger sig
nals as they flash at our every turn.
Offering no condemnation, Mrs. Askew, able
Bible scholar and teacher, said during her re
cent visit here that she had filled 508 engage
ments within the past few years, that in every
town the faithful few excused the small attend
ance upon the meetings by pointing out that
there was just so much going on no one could
attend half the programs or events "We are
so fortunate that we can't realize' the pitiful
state of the unfortunate m many lands, includ
ing eiir own," sin said Flashing an undaunted
spirit, the teachei said. "It does look as if our
people could eliminate most if not all the em
worthy things from their busy schedules in
life, and center more time and attention on the
worthwhile and better things in life." She con
cluded by declaring that the Christian people
must lead the way.
It is in man and not in his circumstances that
the secret of his destiny resides.?Carlyle.
Facing Certain Death
The mortal conflict in Russia today is ring
ing with horror, but the vivid description of
fered by a writer just back from Europe of the
migration of 200,000 human beings into scorch
ed Russia plunges to the front one of the most
barbaric moves in all Europe.
Nearly 200,000 persons are being uprooted in
the conquered countries and are being driven
into Russia to face certain death where retreat
ing armies laid waste property and food to keep
it out of the hands of the invaders. The millions
have migrated to places of refuge in China as
a result of war, but the forced migration from
Czechoslovakia of 200,000 persons into Russia
was deliberately planned by Hitler and his co
horts because they knew the multitude would
meet certain death. It is a part of a barbaric
scheme to eliminate a race of people and not a
part of war itself.
The untold suffering will hardly register in
this country of plenty, but the very fact that a
criminal is so ruthless should prompt us to make
ready to meet him, for a man that mean will not
stand back and look upon us as a chosen people
to escape suffering and want and misery.
The Ke?pon?ibility uf 1 outh
By Ruth Taylor.
The young people of today are most definite
in their demands for "the rights of Youth."
They know what they want and they are glib
in expressing their desires. They are terribly
sure of what is right and wrong, and they go
most thoroughly and analytically into every
things-except their own obligations to society.
Youth has a responsibility in this life. The
young poeple may grouse about the mistakes
-and shortcomings of their elders?but are they
seizing every opportunity to gain the knowledge
that would fit them to do more than their el
ders'' Will they be better equipped for the task
of making a new world out of the devastation
that will be left after the present chaos has
subsided? Their opportunities for education
have been greater than those of their fathers;
and thcrcfoK the responsibility of Youth will
be greater
The strain on the coming generation will be
great Those who take up citizenship in this tran
sition period will require initiative, resource
fulness. adaptability and idealism. They must
have the ability to produce something for the
good of all, for there will be no room for para
sites.
Youth has before it .now the task of preparing
for the days ahead, and it must prepare by
learning how to think things out and think
things throygh. It will need initiativtsJn order
TiTplan constructively. It will need resourceful
ness which must be gained by practical exper
ience. It will need adaptability, which means
an ability to cooperate with its fellows.
But most of all it will need idealism?but it
must be a constructive idealism. Youth could
well take for its creed today the Oath of Citi
zenship which the Youth of Athens took upon
arriving at their majority.
"To bring no disgrace to this city by a dis
honest act; to fight for the ideals and sacred
lliings alone and with many; to desert no fal
tering comrade; to revere and obey the city
- laws; to incite respect and reverenoe in thoaa
above us who are prone to annul or set them
a' naught. To strive unceasingly to quicken
the public sense of civic duty. To transmit this
city no less but more beautiful than it was trans
mitted to us."
It the Youth of today would do this, there
would be no need for fear for the future.
My riches consist not in the extent of my
possessions, but in the fewness of my wants.?
Joseph Brotherton.
It is common to overlook what is near by
keeping the eye fixed on something remote. ?

Why
Should
People Go To
Church?
In discussing, the problem of.
church attendance we are-consider- \
ing it on a low level as long as we
think merely or mainly of the means
and methods of getting, people to
come to church. There must be some
deep motive that urges them to go
to church as something that Is
worthwhile and makes church at
tendance not so much a duty that
should be performed, however, dis
tasteful it may be, but as a privilege
that they cannot afford to neglect
and a help and a joy in all their liv
ing, without which they cannot live
so well.
Religion is the craving of the soul
for God, and all our faculties and
needs cry, "Show us the Father and
it sufficeth us." This need is age-long
and worldwide and is as constitu
tional in us as our hunger and thirst
or as our social and affectional na
ture, The church and priest did not
make it, but it made the church and
priest. It is not at all a human inven
tion or an artificial and manufactur
ed article in oYir life, but it is born
in us and begins to act when we be
gin to breathe and grows with all
our growth. It acts with the spontan
eity of an instinct. We do not ^.cgin
its activity and we cannot stop it. It
is true that we can feed and stimulate
it and can also starve and wither it.
but it is there and cannot be whol
ly suppressed or eradicated. Even
those who come to deny it cannot
wholly exterminate it and let sur
prising confessions escape from
them. The most inveterate agnostic
or sceptic is often discovered to be
a sincere and even sad seeker after
some kind of religious faith and
hope Reason did not create this con
stitutional need, and reason cannot
kill it It is deeper than the brain and
is rooted in the heart.
Any movement of the spirit needs
to be organized into an institution
and implemented with means. It may
be.said, arid some do say,.that this re-.
ligious nature will take care of it
self and find food and expression
anywhere and therefore we need no
church arid ordinances and that such
things rather hinder true religion by
incrusting and imprisoning it in
forms that constrict it to death.
There is danger in this direction, but
the main truth lies the other way:
that religion without organization
and forms of worship evaporates in
to sentiment and leaves only a sedi
ment of dust. The spirit cannot live
without a body and cannot move and
propagate itself without hands and
feet, tongue and speech. Every idea
must get such means of growth and
expression. There may be and is
some education going on outside the
schools, but self-educated men us
ually show how unsymmetrical and
incomplete their education is. Some
education can be obtained out of
books, but there is something in the
school that cannot be found in books,
the personality of the teacher and
the contagious spirit of culture. The
impact of mind upon mind and of
spirit upon spirit is the most vital
means of education, and so is it of
growth in the religious life. Religion
is the most social and contagious
form of our social life and so it has
ever assembled people together and
kindled their religious nature and
needs by common ideas and aspira
tions and compacted them into mass
movements that have swept the com
munity and country with Pentecost
al wind and fire. The reason we
should go to church is of the same
order and necessity as the reason
why we should go to school for edu

The Rev. J. R. Rountree, of Kins
too, will speak on the following sub
jects during the Mission to be held
in the Church of the Advent twice
each day from Sunday night through
Friday. The services in the momhig
will be at 10:30 and in the evening
at 8:00 o'clock. The service on Sun
day night will be at 7:30. The sub
jects for the morning services are:
Monday: "The Church and Her
Faith"; Tuesday: "The Church and
Her History"; Wednesday: "The
Church and Her Sacraments"; Thurs
day, "The Church and Her Bible";
Friday: "The Church and Her Wor
ship."
The subjects for the evening an
ices are: Sunday night: "God, Man,
and the Universe"; Monday night:
"God's Indictment"; Tuesday: The
Crucifixion ? Why?"; Wednesday:
"Woulds't Thou Be Made Whole?";
Thursday night: "Why God Needs
You"; Friday night: "Why Be a
Christian."
As the topics indicate the morning
services will be devoted to teaching.
It is well for us to draw our attention
to those great foundations un wliich
the Church is built and through
which its vital purpose becomes a
reality. The topics for the evening
services deal with certain funda
mental truths of the Christian faith.
They will help us to realize the ne
cessity of dedicating the life of to
day to the purpose of God.
The people of our community are
urged to attend as many of these
services as possible. Mr. Rountree
is an eloquent speaker and his con
secrated spiritual life radiates
through his personality. Any sacri
fice made to attend the services will
be well worth the effort.
