HAROLD L.LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. g) Western Newspaper Union, Lesson for June 5 SERVING BY PERSONAL DEVOTION TO CHRIST LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:3-11. 27-31. GOLDEN TEXT—She hath done what she could. Mark 14:8. PRIMARY TOPlC—Mary’s Present to Jesus. JUNIOR TOPlC—Mary’s Love Gift. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR . TOPlC—Showing Our Love to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-The Heart of Christian Service. “The love of Christ constraineth us” (II Cor. 5:14) was the all-suffi cient moving force back of the greatest life of service rendered by any man. It is this personal devo jtion to the One whom we love “be -1 cause he first loved us” (I John '4:19), which makes Christianity {“different from all other religions. ,Christianity alone acts through this natural and deep hunger of man kind with a personalized religion ■which can be a satisfying Joy and {pleasure. Yet at this point Chris tians fail the most and make diffi cult the work of serving Jesus. They {zee religion as a job to be done, a lorm to be observed, a duty to be fulfilled” (W. R. King). . We need to renew that devotion to Christ which expresses itself in true worship. Prayer is too often asking for things; praise, thanking for things (unless we become so en grossed with them that we forget to return thanks); and worship, which Is a coming to God in adoration and thanksgiving for what He is rather than what He can give, is forgotten. Our Heavenly Father wants ug to show love toward Him. The act of Mary was pure personal devotion and worship, and its fragrance lives to this day. I. Wasted—But Eternally Saved (W. 3-9). The dark hours of betrayal and death were before our Lord. All around Him was hostility. Even in the inner circle of the disciples there was misunderstanding and bicker ing. Mary (to be distinguished from the sinful woman of Luke 7) with the quick intuition of an under standing woman’s heart knew what He was passing through, and with a magnificent act of love stood by Him In the fellowship of His sufferings. Dr. Morgan points out that it was i t “an impulsive act . born of the prodigality of love daring not to calculate.” In the words of verse H, Jesus declared that the gospel (and that which this woman had {done were to “stand side by side (with each other forever. That keen .intuition of love, that uncalculating 'outpouring of love, was Godlike, and ‘an act in fellowship with the act iof God by which a world is re Ideemed.” • j Judas, who was a thief, said she had wasted money that should be used for the poor (John 12:6). The other disciples thought well of his argument and murmured against her. But Jesus commended her. To be thrifty and frugal is commend able, but there are times when the heart should speak without being (silenced by the drawing of purse strings. Many a home needs to learn the lesson of Proverbs 15:17: “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” Life takes on new meaning when love is free to ex press itself in unmeasured sacrifice. The same lesson needs to be learned (in the church, where no end of harm has been done by logical penny pinching when there should have been some holy abandon in spend ing for the Lord’s work. Mary’s 'gift seemed to be wasted, but it has been eternally saved. » i n. Saved—Bat Eternally Lost (w. 10, 11).* j Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. He “made” some money. The fact that he did it by 'betraying the Son of God may be worse in degree but Is not worse in kind than the betrayal of the 'youth of our land by those who make merchandise of their eternal souls. >A recent news item from England, {declared that church organizations' were making money out of proper (ties publicly known as centers of (prostitution. The leaders deplored the situation, but said they could not prevent it without losing the income of the property. Why not lose every cent rather than be party to the be • trayal of any man or woman. ' HI. Bold Words—Bat Weak Ac tions (w. 27-31). Verses 12-26 tell of the gathering of the Lord and His disciples for their last passover and for the es tablishment of the Lord’s supper. As they left the sacred meeting and went out into the Mount of Olives Jesus foretold His betrayal and His coming denial by the disciples. Peter, quick with his tongue, and bold in spirit, spake swelling words of devotion and assurance. Sadly the Lord foretold his threefold de nial of that very night. Again Peter and all the disciples declared their willingness to die with Him. They undoubtedly meant what they said, but reckoning without the weak ness of the flesh they failed Him. The lesson that is written large in this story for you and for me is, {••Let him that tbinketh be standeth take heed lest he fall” (I Cor. 10:12). PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C AAA Amendments To Help Farmers Provide for Redistribution Os Cotton Acreage; Gain In Weed Poundage Washington, June I.—Amend ments to the Agricultural Ad justment Act of 1938 which were approved by the President yes terday provide for redistribu tion of the so-called “frozen” cotton acreage allotments and a 2 per cent increase in state to bacco poundage allotments. The cotton acreage to be re allotted will be determined by means ‘of questionin'reE to be sent out by the county commit tees to farmers who received 1938 cotton acreage allotments, the AAA announced. Each farmer will be asked to show in a signed statement to be submit ted to the county office how much of his allotment he is not going to use for cotton, and in each case the unused acreage will be deducted from the farm allotment for redistribution.

Under the amendment, the unused acreage will be re allotted on an equitable basis to farmers whose original 1938 cot ton acreage allotments were low in view of past production and the acreage diverted from cot ton and who did not expand their cotton acreage above nor mal in 1937. In the redistribu tion of unused acreage, farms in the same county and farms which received minimum allotments of 50 per cent of their 1937 plant ed and diverted cotton acreage —and which did not expand their cotton acreage in 1937- will receive first consideration. It was pointed out that pro ducers plant as much as 80 percent of their cotton allot ments will receive payments on the normal production of their total cotton allotments. If they plant less than 80 per cent of their allotments they will receive payments on 1 1-4 their actual planting. The tobacco amendment in creases by 2 per cent the State poundage allotments of fire-cured and dark air-cured tobacco, bur ley tobacco and flue-cured to bacco. It does not affect the acreage allotments which have been established under the con servation phase of the AAA pro gram, but provides additional poundage which will be distribut ed among farms in connection . with the determination of the marketing quotas. The provision requires distri ! bution of the additional pound | age quotas on such basis as the | Secretary determines to be fair 1 and reasonable among farms on • which the poundage quotas are i small in relation to the past mar i keting of tobacco. S The 2 per cent added for flue | cured tobacco is in addition to J the increase of 2 per cent in a , previous amendment and brings the total quota for 1938 up to . 733,200,000 pounds. The addition for fire-cured and dark air-cur ed tobacco increases the quota from 145,000,000 pounds to 147, 900,000 pounds. The hurley quota is increased from 350,000,000 pounds to 357,000,000 pounds. Agricultural Adjustment offi cials pointed out that the amend ments do not affect tobacco acre age allotments and plantings in excess of the acreage allotments will require deductions from pay ments which might otherwise be ■ earned undqr the conservation - phase of the program. It was ■ also pointed out that the tobacco acijetage allotments Which have been established are large enough in total to produce a crop of to bacco, under average growing conditions, equal to or a little a bove the marketing quotas, in cluding the poundage added by the amendments. o CHINESE CLAIM VICTORY Hankow, China—Reports from the front indicate a counter-of fensive by Chinese troops at I Lanfeng which may trap a large force of Japs who retreated - from the sector in great disorder.
