Consistently beautiful and beau tifully consistent is the revelation of God. whether it be in the glory of His works, in the perfection of His Word, or in His gracious dealings with man. The spiritually-minded man sees God in all of His works, whereas the blind materialist sees only matter and natural laws which he may use or abuse. He makes of God's creation things for his own comfort or for the destruction of his fellow men, not recognizing "the Creator, who is blessed forever." This is serious, for in so doing the unbeliever has "changed the truth of God into a lie" (read Rom. 1:20-25). "The heavens declare the glory of God." The sun in all its glory and power and the starry stillness of the night "utter forth a glorious voice," as Joseph Addison expresses it: "Forever singing, as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine.' " No man living beneath the copes of heaven dwells beyond the bounds of God's court preachers." Those who do not hear or heed these voices are described by Paul as having their foolish hearts darkened: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" Rom. 1:21,22). ; Nature, however, gives only a li mited revelation of God. showing. His existence, power and wisdom; but to really know Him we must see Gods perfection revealed in His Word. No where in the book of nature is it written that God is a Redeemer, a cleanser from 'sin, a restorer of thej soul. That truth is found only in His: Word - the Bible. What folly, th-n, for sinful men who need redemption to see God only in nature, but never look into His Word or go to church that they may hear His truth pro claimed. The final and perfect revelation of God is in His Son, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer. The great reward of knowing God's Word is that we may learn of God's grace through Christ, Man is a sinner: sometimes he sins unwittiwrlv and ignorantly: some times deliberately and in presump tion: aid sometimes in both wnvs. What shall he do with his sin ? God's Word says to bring it to Go- in re pentance and Draver and accept the cleans'ner Christ has oroviHed. But God's trace not onlv rleanes. it keeps us. He is pble and willing to make not only the words of our mouths, but the very, mentation of our hearts acceptable in H' sight. That means holy living. There ' is nothing more needed in our day than a revival of Christian lvin in the daily responsibilities of life. Per sonal purity of heart and motive, rec ognition of God's Word in thoufht and life - these things will make the believer upright, and reflect honor and glory on the Lord who is his strength and his Redeemer. SWEETHEARTS IN SERVICE My dearest left for the Navy today But my heart is with him, though he's far away. I really hated to see him go, But I knew someone had to fight Tojo, And so now the best that I can do Is hope that war will soon be thru It seems that I can almost hear him say, '. : "Be true, darling for 111 be back some day," And memories of him fill my heart, And I still love him though we're far apart. Ill be true and waiting for his re turn, For then our troubles will all adjourn Our home will be happy with chil dren's faces bright, And the kids will holler "daddy' As soon as he's in sight. . Of course they'll love him and be proud of him too. Because he fought for the red, white and blue. Oh, that my friends are worth ing for; It's worth that and ten times more, fight So listen, young girls, here's some advice, Be true to your lover, You may never love twice. Be true while he's gone and pray for him too, 'Cause, remember he's fighting for me and for you. And when it's all over, and the battle is won, You'll never regret what you have done. . I know waiting is hard, but I think it's best, If you're sure that you love him above all the rest. You know that some day, too, far away, He'll be coming back to you and the good old U. S. A. He'll be very glad to see you, and be proud of you, too, Because you've been waiting, faithful and true. So let's be true, girls, whatever cost, Let's keep the home fires burning for our loved ones across. Let's keep them burning bright, be cause he's fighting for justice and the right. MY MOTHER Who cradled me when I was young, And sang to me those baby songs? My Mother! Who led my way in childhood dreams Wrapped sore toes and all those things? My Mother! Who cares at all when I feel blue. And prays to God to keep me true ? My Mother! Who sacrifices all she has, To give me every advantage? My Mother! Who watches over my sick bed, And stands by me till pain has fled? My Mother! Who answers my every call, And makes me love her best of all? My Mother! ILA BRADY BROWN Smithfield, N. C. MOTHER-IN-LAW Who is so good and kind and sweet, To each and every one she meets? My Mother-in-law! Whose lovely hands are worn with care; Whose silvery hair onakea her so fair? My Mother-in-law! Who took me in as if her own, And stood by me as years have flown? My Mother-in-law! Who nursed baby when I was sick? No other person would I pick! My Mother-in-law! Who gave me her most precious gift, Whose sincere blessings to me drift? My Mother-in-law! Whom do I love so very much, That I can never thank enough? My Mother-in-law! MRS. THELBERT BROWN Smithfield, N. C. IN MEMORY OF J. T. BROWN It was in the month of May, That they laid dear brother beneath the clay. It was so hard to see him go, Althocgh he's better oft, we know. He's gone .to a better resting place, And some day we hope to see his face Amonsr the others, who have done their best, And are now taking their heavenly ' rest. Brother was good and kind and true In everything he had to do. We truly think he's there among The angels in their heavenly home. And now the time is drawing nigh When we shall join him there on high We know he's waiting on the shore Where once we meet--we'll part no more. Written by his sister, 1VA MAE BROWN The AAA asks North Carolina farmers to save as much as possible of their 1945 crop of crimson clover for seed harvesting. Increase In Potato Crop Is Foreseen For State Reports from commercial early Irish potato growers in North Caro lina, as of May 1, indicated that about 4,160,000 bushels of potatoes will be harvested from the 1945 crop, accord ing to the crop reporting service of the state department of agriculture. The report also said "a crop of this size would be 33 per cent more than was harvested last year." Jack Batchelor of Halifax County is grazing 125 pigs on 15 acres. He seeded 3 bushels of oats, 25 pounds of lespedeza, and 3 pounds of rape in early spring, says Jack Kelly of State College. Officers in Greenville, S. C, are looking for a prowler who on Satur day broke into Brandon Methodist church there. He stole a drape from the picture of Christ, a table scarf and five Bibles. ' Ti mi v . . M fa 4.t t :v.

Production of North Carolina peaches will total about 2,528 000 bushels, six per cent less than lapt year's crop but 34 per cent more than the 10-year average, Frank Parker, head of the Statement of Agriculture Statistics division, es timates. "The early ...pril freeze caused severe damage in the central and up per Piedmont counties, except in very favorable locations," said Parker. He asssrted that "growers in the northern Piedmont section expect about 15 per cent of a cron as com pared with 33 per cent in the central portions of the State." Parker said that in the Mt.

That's one reason why every red blooded American must back this mighty 7th War Loan with every dollar he can lay hands on. Another reason is that this is really two drives in one. In the aame period last year, you were asked to invest in two war loans, as against one this time. No need to tell you that War Bonds are the safest and best investment in the world.
