WHICH . . . FIRST? I
By REV. C. M. WARREN.
Bob. ;; >*.i\ ng, >t. 1 w;. : man .
serving ??!: *.ic poiioe t. ;ve . : the,
city ?.; Sp..r:..nbar,4. S. C\. w...?
stricken wit:i sickne*.* .^nv t:ine 1
ago. He w to tah* w:: ?; me. ,
I went #v0 >ee him L wee:;. With i
you. I desire *.o share thi> wonder- i
ful expe"ience.
I have been praying four years ^
thai Bob would become a Cnris- I
tian. God has answered my pray
ers., Bob > a Christian now. He
was very glad to see me as I en
tered his room in the hospital. That
long arm with his big hand came
forth to cla>p my hand. That hand
shake teld me that Bob was in
deed glad to see me. He told me
all about himself and how he had
been thrown with his illness. My
heart went out to him in love and
sympathy.
Some of the things that Bob
said to me: "Mr. Warren, God had
to do' something with me. I have
put my work (my business) .first
^in my life. I haveJe^Gtid out. I
just about left the church com
pletely- otTt. attended only occas
ionally. I worked night and day
in order to make more money. I
exerted my strength many times,
working over-time, when I should
have been resting. Here I am. God
had to do something with me," said
Bob. I listened to Bob with all the
leve of my soul. I said to him,
"Bob, I have come for one purpose.
I want to know if everything is all
right with your soul and God." Bob.
looked at me and smiled, and said,
"Mr. Warren, I was going to tell
you all about it. I knew that you
wanted to know." Said he, "Wheth
er I live or die, everything is right
with God." How my very soul re
joiced! Bob told me w^at had tak
en place in his heart and that he
had quit drinking sometime ago.
He told me that he would be a
different man the rest of his life.
He would live for God.
Where are you putting God in
your life? Just giving Him a little
recognition now and then, and not
much at any time! Are you so busy
doing your woj^kr^nd carrying on
your business that you^do not have
time for^NQo^,< and the spiritual
_ things for your soul? Hqw often
do you meet God at the Church?
Whpn have you attended a prayer
meeting? What keeps you^ busy-on
Sunday, the Sabbath Day? Do you
desire pleasure, work, business,
more than you desire God for your
soul? Where are you putting God
in your life? Are you letting God
have any place in your life? Do
you realize that God will do some
thing with you? You may force
Him to reject you. So many hearts
do not have any time for spiritual
things. Bob did not have time for
God and the church, and now Bob
has to pay for it. He is a changed
man, but he had to be thrown first.
Will God permit you to go on with
out giving Him first place in your
heart. My friends, if you do, you
had better stop spending your
Sundays in places of" pleasure, and
find yourself in the Church with
God on the Sabbath Day. You may
live your life $s you choose, but
do na^iorget that you will have
to give an account to God. How is
it with your soul? What will have
to come upon you before you will
let God have first place in your
life? YOU CANNOT GET BY*. , .
GOD IS WATCHING YOU.
I beseech you, my friends,
"Seek FIRST the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and the
other good things of life will be
given to you." The time is coming
when every heart must stand be
fore God. God will not accept any
excuse at all. Let Him have first
place. Serve Him while you have
your good health and strength.
People's hearts want love and,God
will supply that love through your
heart if you let Him. The world or
God . . . WHICH . . . FIRST?

QUESTION: Wr.eu is the best
time for seeding a lawn?
"ANSWER: The time of seeding
the grass will depend on the kind
of grass being used, and' the kind
of grass recommended will vary
with different parts of the state
and with the different envirun
I mental conditions within the same
sections of the state, according to
John H. Harris, Horticultural Ex
tension specialist at State College.

subject, Mr. Harris suggests that
you write to the Agricultural Edi

QUESTION: How can I prevent
breast blisters on chickens?
ANSWER: These usually devel
op in chickens over 10 weeks of
age, especially those raised in bat
| teries, according to Prof. Roy S.
| Dearstyne, head of the Poultry de
partment at State College.
The condition is due to the skin
over the front of the koeel becom
| ing calloused and a watery fluid
collecting under the area. Provid
ing more head room in batteries
tends to reduce the occurrence of
breast-blisters and in birds not' in
batteries, providing roosts and
teaching them to roost early helps
to keep breast blisters down, he
said.
