Lightening the Burden IN one of his favorite stories Abra ham Lincoln tella of boy who was seen carrying his younger brother up a steep hill. Observing the effort the older boy was making, an adult called to him, "Isn't that a pretty heavy burden for you, son?" The boy replied, "It's not a burden, sir; it s my brother. How true it is that love makes burdens light I Indued, real love ef faces all sense of burden. Great love is needed to lighten the burdens of a troubled world. Genuine, unfalter ing, compassionate love is needed: love that is the reflection and expres sion of divine Love, Life, and Truth; that lifts thought above the mortal belief of man as sick, suffering, dy ing, in danger, and points to the per fect man, forever held in the loving embrace of his Father-Mother God. Freedom from all that shackles and enslaves must come through spir itual understanding of God and through the conscious reflection of divine Love in daily life. All men desire liberty freedom from lim itation of every kind. But too many still look to a material source for freedom instead of seeking libera tion through the knowledge of God. Divine Love does not place bur dens on man, for Love is always Love, conscious of no opposite quality. A human parent would not deliber ately place burdens of illness, suffer- Reversing Restriction's WARTIME measures and restric tions have brought into prom inence and common .usage many words and phrases formerly not in general use. For instance, we have read and heard so much about "rationing" and "priorities" that these terms are now a part of the average person's daily vocabu lary. The income tax and the en actment of a current payment plan of paying the tax have made "pay-as-you-go," "withholding," "exemp tion," and other related (erms famil iar (o all of us. v.

But, while carefully fulfilling his material obligations, he can be mindful of, and graliful for, the fact that al though many commodities have been rationed, Ihis applies only to mate rial things, and not to the real and enduring. Good cannot be rationed; nor can kindness, gratitude, love, truth, joy, mercy, courage, or any other spiritual quality. What a trav esty it would be if one were to think: "I have used such-and-such an amount of kindness and joy today. Now I must cut down or I shall use too much." But there are no short ages or scarcities in the realm of Spirit, the kingdom of God. The more we express the qualities of God. J I - - ua - ' ! .......

His idea, man, is good, expressing health, happi ness, abundance, assurance, and peace. Freedom from every sense of burden can be gained here and now as the wholly spiritual nature of God and man, Father and son, is understood. God is the only cause, and man and the universe are spirit ual, like Him. It is encouraging to note that in these difficult clays great numbers of people are actuated by the desire to lift the burdens of others and to make the way brighter for them. On every side we hear of loving minis tration and of the giving of spiritual comfort. These outward indications of pure affection for our brother man are noteworthy signs of the times. This desire to be of service constitutes a great power for good and should be strengthened by en lightened prayer. Of prayer that is effective and fruitful Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 1), "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God, a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfcd love." Christ Jesus emphasized two great commandments (Luke 10:27): lhou shall love the Lord thy God wilh all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thy self." Obedience to tlioe command ments is true pra.wr. Truly to love God wc must know Him; and truly to love our liri.thcr man, we must know him as lie really is in God's sight. We learn to love God ami man proportionality as we know God as divine Mind and man as His idea. . . . Material sense claims insistently that man is separate from God; that he is sick, lonely, and in danger. It even appears to make good its claims, for nation fights nation and race be littles race. All these claims of evil, however, should serve only to chal lenge us to more consecrated prayer for all mankind. It is not enough to pray once a day or even once an hour. Our lives must be a continu ous prayer. Our words and acts must be so permeated with the assurance of divine Love's presence and power that the whole world will feel the healing effect. Great problems of war and peace await solution. These problems must be solved through the understanding of infinite Love dis pelling the belief of hatred, fear, and destruction. This is truly lifting the burden. The ChrUtian Soimct Monitor. God's law of abundance and His infinitude. . . .

There is no priority on honesty, sincerity, loyalty, or obe dience, and the exercise of these qualities will close the door to evil and admit only good. The enlightened thinker rejoices In the fact that the only real income is the incoming of spiritual ideas to his consciousness. There is no bur den, hardship, or tax attached to such a spiritual "in-come," but in stead a joyous receptivity to these right ideas. We can lift our business and everything pertaining to it above the commonplace by constantly knowing and showing that we are about our "Father's business." Our real business is expressing God, good. ... ! We can rejoice that God's law of abundance is ever operative, that obedience to this beneficent law sus tains and supplies us with all that is needed, and annuls the belief of limitation and restriction. What as surance is conveyed by these com forting words from "Miscellaneous Writings" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 307): "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for tomor row: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment What a glorious inheritance is given to us through the understanding of omnipresent Love!"

"Wtsw Winter Legumes Planted Early Get Best Results One Of A Series Of Advertisements Sponsored By The Undersigned Cotton Gins Of Hoke County In The Interest Of Better Grade Cotton For Better War Materials And Higher Money Return For The Farmers. R0CKFISK GIN 0AKDALE GUI DUFFIES GUI CO. EDINBURGH GUI McGOUGAII GUI RAEFORD GUI HOKE OIL & FERTILIZER CO. DUHDARRACH TRADING CO. GINNERY Planting winter legumes early, which is always a good farm practice, is especially important this year, ac cord in gto J. C. Hutchinson, soil con- servationist of the Pee Dee-Cape Fear soil conservation distirct. Early planted legumes will make good growth before cold weather comes and will thus provide better protection against erosion, sufficient growth for early spring grazing, and more green material for turning un der in advance of planting spring crops. The early grazing will help to furn ish the milk and meat needed in the war effort and the nitrogen added to the soil by trailing under a good growth of legumes will increase crop yields and save commercial nitrogen, which is needed in making munitions. Dry weather that ordinarly comes in the fall in this section is one of the principal obstacles to getting cover crops planted early. It is very im portant to have the land prepared and plenty ot seed on hand In order to be able to plant when the soil is mosit. Where the winter legume is to be planted where it has not been grown successfully before, it will also be necessary to inoculate the seed, Hutchison adds.
