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).

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.
The unused acreage returns in

each county will be sent to the
state office of the AAA and the
redistribution will be made by
that office on the basis of in
formation previously submitted
by individual cotton producers
in connection with the 1938 farm
program. 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.
