There was a young pri vate on duty in the Office. I had noticed his earnest efforts to serve the many people who came In while I was waiting. He came over and wanted a catalog and bulletin also. "This Is about going to college. You dont want to go to college," said the corporal. "Yes I do," he said. Then he turned to me. "Cant I go to college?" He was facing me just across the counter. His eyes looked into mine. I could observe every expression on his countenance, as the emotions flashed across. Rarely have I felt more like a judge must feel when he pronounces sentence on a prison er.

PASTOR'S COLUMN Carlton F. Hlrachl ABIDING JOY y The Christian way of life is a life of joy. We can never experience real joy unti we surrender our life to Christ Jesus said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain In you and that your joy might be full." Regardless of our circumstances, we will be joyful because we have fellowship with the Christ When we rejoice in Christ we forget about ourselves and seek to be of an un selfish help to others. "One of Hayden's friends once asked him how it happened that his church music was almost always of a cheerful quality. . Tha great composer replied, "I can not make it otherwise I go according to the thoughts I feel. When I ,fhink upon God my heart la so full ot joy that notes dance and leap, as it were from my pen.". s; ' ; Jesus found much joy In his daily life. In his home, among his friends, in ministering to the , poor and needy; As we live from day to day let us seek to have an abiding joy in Christ and enjoy living from day to day. GEO. P.

Some of the nitrogen applied at planting time may be leached to the extent that there Is not enough during the latter part of the growing season. The latest rec ommendation is to use a fertilizer wih a lower nitrogen content at planting time and supply the re mainder of the nitrogen' as ' side dressings.

BY REV. C. HERMANTRUEBLOOD TEXT: "Wherefore he Is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him." Hebrews 735. The divinly inspired writer of Hebrews, particularly in this 25th chap ter, is discoursing concerning the sublime dignity and superiority of the priesthood of Christ over the priest of old. Such a blessed reality was manifest in the greatness of His person, the unchanging perpetuity of His office, and the superlative preciousness of His love and unspeakable sacrifice. The text, and context, set forth in terse and striking language the incomparable and unfailing SAVING ABILITY OF CHRIST. Observe the nature of this ability; it was : i 1. MERITORIOUS ABILITY. His shed blood possessed boundless virtue, and was precious beyond human conception. Because of His un blemished person, absolute purity of fice on the cross was infinitely efficacious in its saving power. The Im maculacy of His character satisfied all the claims of the law, and, there fore, made perfect His atonement for human transgressions. His ability1 to save is meritorius because He is undefiled, separate from sinners, Heb.Jfc26. 2. OFFICIAL ABILITY. Christ Councils of the God-head to be the Him expressly to be the Saviour of the lost; saving ability is His Peculiar and exclusive prerogative. He was anointed, lived, and died to make sal vation a reality, to "every one that believeth." God, the Father, raised Him from the dead, and exalted Him to His own right hand, that He might be a Prince and everlasting Saviour. "Wherefore God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the 3. AMPLE ABILITY. The Saving sufficient within Christ Himself - "HE IS ABLE TO SAVE UNTO THE UTTERMOST!" - without the interposition of human creedal aids. "For whosoever shall call (not upon a creed, a church, a religious system, rites, ceremonies, science, philosophy, or newly discovered or invented isms, but) upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom. 10:13. "If thou Shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raise him Rom. 10:11. 4. UNTVERSIAL ABILITY. "God The Saving Ability of Christ is universial in scope; His saving power can reach to the deepest depths of sin, and save the greatest sinner; His saving arm knows no limits in space or area; HIS SALVATION is UNTO THE UTTERMOST, in depth, space, r S. ETERNAL ABILITY. "Jesus and forever." Heb. 13:8. "For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE."

' There are more Baptists in Georgia "alone than there are Parsees in ' the "Whole world. If you aren't a Parses born you can never.' get In. Even if, you marry a Parsee it does you no good; you are an outsider the rest of . your Ufe. That is precisely the. opposite of the Christian religion. -Billy Graham preaches to thou-' sands of people night after night and he invites every one of those ',, people in the great tabernacles and auditoriums to be-' come a Christian. . The congregations are not screened. No one has to pass . an intelligence test . or an FBI screen ing or a financial . credit rating, or -any sort of pre IS I ii Ivi vious sifting what- r.' Foreman ' ever. Billy Sunday did not know, -of course, his audiences by name. All he knew la that they were peo- pie. And being a Bible Christian ' he knew that wherever people are, - there God's invitation holds good. All People Are Lost Two things are quite clear from v' the New Testament. One is that all people are lost. The other Is that God does not want any one to stay lost. Jesus spoke of him self as the Shepherd and of people as lost sheep. To be "lost" does not mean to be hopelessly ac cursed. Any one who has ever seen a lost sheep knows what a forlorn sight it is, bedraggled, be-' wildered, not likely ever 'to get . home unless some one shows, it the way. Lost cats need nobody's i sympathy1; they will find their way back all right. But we are not ' lost cats or homing pigeons, we are lost sheep. That Is a picture way of saying that unless God sets us on the right track and leads us home, we are all of us more likely to go wrong than to go right. A lost sheep has no pride. . Some men have said that pride la the root ot all sins, Jesus did not seem to think so; weakness and stupidity account tor Just as many sins as pride. God Invites All God never meant heaven to be exclusive. He never meant us to be snobbish about our religion. There are some mistakes here, com monly made, which need clearing up. One is that because God wants all men to be saved, he is going to save everybody regardless. Now if all we knew of the New Testa ment were this parable of the sheep, we might suppose God ' would work it that way and bring all people to his eternal home re gardless of how they felt about it, as a shepherd does with his sheep or a cowhand with his little degici. Bui the rest or the gospels show us that God deals with us as free men. Heaven Is not a sack into which God dumps everybody sooner or later, with their leave or without it. Heaven has a door, and the name ot the door is Jesus -Christ. You can put that in differ ent ways too. Christ is the only door to the Christian life. He is the only door to the kingdom 'of , God. If we wish to belong to God's ' kingdom we cannot turn away from Christ, we must come to God through him. But another mistake is to suppose that God has a private list of those he really does not want to come in to "the marriage supper" as Jesus put it oncei His invitation is to all. really to all; but he never forces any one to accept The Church for All s " A . common sight and a sad sight too, is a "class church." It doesn't make any difference what ' class It may be; it may be en' ' tirely ot country people, or en tirely of pity people; it can be made up of high-brows or the un. educated; It Is a class church If ' the people in it just don't want to have others in it whose cir cumstances are different from theirs. If all men are lost .and if "' God's desire is that all shall be saved, no church should be more exclusive than God is. God tues not draw color lines or class line f or "money Unes. The ideal church, the one that reflects the facts ci Christ's love and the -calling of God, s one in which no human being who loves the Lord Jesus ' and gives his . heart jo him,- can feel strange or out of place. There : is no use saying, "We only want our kind of people", if Christ lived , and died for all people. For that means all kinds of people I ,.
