THE PR Ay Eli COJtMER r L. A CHILDLIKE SPIRIT (Conclusion) 'The first step toward the Inner Life is to attain a Childlike Spirit in heavenly things. Our Savior told His disciples that "Except ye become as little children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." But this childlike spirit i3 not to be un derstood save by experience, it is soley God's gift and no effort of the intellect or will can produce it." "Innocence, peace and pure en joyment are the portion of little children ? they are happy without consciously reflecting on their hap piness, all thought and care they leave to those who love them. So the childlike soul enjoys a most real un sought) happiness which God Him self pours upon it, causing "All to work together for pood to those that love Him." N'o storms can shake their founda tion, no earthly troubles move it. Not that such a man or woman is in sensible to grief, but they are raised above its sharpness by their entire resignation to God's will. This is a gift which can only be known to those who experience its sweetness, and in truth that experience is beyond .ill words to describe. My God I am Thine now henceforth and forever Suffer Thy child to come to Thee and dwell in Thy presence, where alone is joy unspeakable, and rest and peace'" "Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength." Our Lord applied these words of the Psalmist to Himself when the Pharisees were offended at the Hosannas with which His en trance into Jerusalem was greeted. In that triumphant greeting the peo ple accepted the Messiah with a child like spirit, not dwelling on his pover ty or His lowliness, but receiving without question the truth that He came "in the name of tho Lord" and thus the ignorant perfected praise while the proud intellectual Pharisee stood apart, blinded by prejudice and hardness of heart. And so among ourselves, the nat ural tendency of human reason is not to enter into the things of God; rather to despise and reject them and strange as the assertion may seem his continually happens among re |ious people, wRo are often as real ppJ^Sonents to the true interior life as the -Pharisees, with all their high professions of sanctity were to Jesus Christ and His Gospel. No one truly enters into the things of God save through a childlike spirit, a spirit which tends to make it pos sess or feel incapable of arguing and reasoning, which fills him rather with sense of weakness and ignorance that knows no rest save in God; a spirit ready to believe, to trust, to obey. Such a man or woman goes calmly onwards by the light of faith, content not to "choose or see their path." Their heart's prayer is, "Keep Thou my feet, I do not ask to see the 'Tirtnnt scene, one step enough for me. A PRAYER FOR A CHILDLIKE SPIRIT Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee that we become partakers of the Divine nature through a child like relationship to Thee. Thy Grace ?<nd Power pour into our souls when we wait upon Thee on a childlike spirit. Thou hast taught us that child likeness opens the doors and windows to Thine incoming; that the childlike Bad Shoes Colds Thin soles on your shoes is the cause of most of your colds. Have them repaired rijrht for Winter. n * ENGLISH BROS. SHOE RE-BUILDERS :is the trustful and no barriers of cynical suspicion block the channels 'of spiritual communion; that the i childlike is the docile, and no bouid iers of arrogance or self conceit : block the channel of the invigorating waters of life. Lord Jesus, we thank Thee that Thou didst use a child as expressive of the true spirit of Thy]! Divine Kingdom. We pray Thee to] write upon our hearts and engrave upon our lives the chartcteristic features of the childlife, simplicity, ' Naturalness, humility, and let US never forget that these things as seen in a child are to be the cut standing features of Thy followers, j | 0 Saviour, who in the complete- : ^ess of Thy manhood art still Babeji jof Bethlehem, and Child of Nazar- M eth, restore to us the simplicity we j i have tampered with, the childlike- ' j ncss we have lost, that the shattered 1 1 j fragments of our innocence may be I [assembled anew in the beauty of j ; Thy sanctity and that a childlike;, ; spirit may again be ours, so shall |. , tho kingdom of Heaven be ours now, ^ Jand at the close of life ? we shall ;hear the plaudit, "Well done good and faithful servant, enter ye into, the joy of Thy Lord"' who with the Father and the Holy Ghost art God forever and ever. Amen. I ? C. D. C. I NOTICE OF ? ALE Under and by virtue of the power . ? of sale contained in a deed in trust executed on the 13th day of Aug. ; 1925 by C. E.

FARMERS FEDERATION HATCHERIES (Three Hatcheries) Asheville, Sylva and Spindale, N. C. | j POINTERS GIVEN ON TOBACCO RAISING (J. F. CORBIN, Agri. Teacher) , There has been much interest ? shown in the possible production oi ' tobacco in the county for seveial months. I have never had any prac- 1 tical experience nor have I made a , study of growing tobacco, nor have j talked with people who have had ex perience?yet because of the interest , shown I have given a few hours to ^ the study of the question and am at- , tempting to pass it on. So do not . be too hard on me if I make some ] mistakes in this. May I say here, that it is as much j mv job sometimes to keep one man , from going into some particular en- ] terprise as much as it is to get some t jther man. to go into it. In other words there is such a thing as not _ aeing ready for some things. Possibilities with Tobacco ] The danger with any new crop, . ,i:t it be tobacco or celery, is t-nat < he possible profits look so good that , ,ve are apt to plunge in too far to f ? tart with and get an over-dose or oss, and never for farther. ( Labor and Skill 1 No crop requires more skill and j 1 knowledge and more hours per acre ? o produce, of the field crop class, ( him does tobacco. It requires 350, nan hours to produce an acre of ( obacco, or seven times as much time , is it does an acre of corn. k Capital 1 1 If land, labor and fertilizer aie j available, very little money is need-, *d outside of a barn 24 feet square |( for each acre of tobacco. Returns ; < Tobacco is only grown in a few , verv small spots, comparatn elj i -oeaking, in the United States. In these places it is generally considered j a ,;ood money crop and usually does ,, return a profit ner acre, but unl< _ , is handled right, it shows a big loss. , Soil, Climate. Etc. | These, together with the Poss^ i) markets, determine the profit wit tobacco. There are three types of , tobacco grown 'and the chmatc s and -oil determine these. (1) Curette < tobacco is grown on light. ous soil, in warm sunny climate. (2) smoking tobacco and snuff lo ] bacco is grown on the Javier so Is with more organic matter ar.dmoib ture and produces a tobacco that i , darker and contains more liquid, ? > . '.he cigar tobacco seems to be p dnced in a condition which fi*s between these two. Any soil which , has an open, loose, porous surface ; with clav subsoil, plenty of organic , matter and excellent drainage should make the second type which we would grow here. A piece of new j ground or fresh land is consideied. good. If old land is used, a cover crop should be turned under in the fall or a long time before setting t.. plants. The same applies to manure as do to the cover crop. , Seed Good, pure seed should be selected, i tested, cleaned, and treated for dss- , case before sowing. Seed are sown in the beds several months More time of transplanting. One-half teaspoon Of seed sown on a 100 square foot bed will produce enough plants to set one acre. Fertilizers Even in old tobacco sections th'-v are just now beginning to .earn how exacting tobacco is in regard to its food requirments. It is one of/1' most difficult jobs to fertilize in a way to produce a product that l.as the right odor, taste, and burning quality. Diseases and Insects Tobacco, like all our other crops, has its diseases and insects which have to be looked after. Cultivating and Marnetine In addition to cultivating tobacco, it has to be topped, suekerea. and sometimes primed; then harvesting ,..,r;rn- ' d marketing1 comes along. In fact, tobacco growing is something like the old saying about making a cotton crop ? it takes about thirteen months a year to make a crop. Start With Small Crop No farmer should put in very much tobacco to start with. On? acre ?-ould be a big crop to start with, just like it would be foi celery or any other new crop. In other words, let's grow into the business and stay, ind not jump into it and fall out. DO YOU?
