A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his
delight. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly
is wisdom. The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the
perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. —Prov. 11:1-3.
Guideposts That Help to Steer America
0
American agriculture is entering a critical period of readjustment
that goes far beyond a transition from war to peace. The changing
pattern of production, distribution and consumption makes that read
justment both necessary and difficult.
The fact that America and her allies emerged victorious over pow
erful enemies which had for many years been preparing for world
conquest is due in no small measure to the ability of American farm
ers to make great readjustments speedily-
The production record of American farmers in war is a vindication
of the democratic, private enterprise system which is the foundation
of American agriculture. Problems of the moment must not cause us
to forget that.
Peace-time readjustments present problems no less difficult than
war. The fundamental principles which made America great are
challenged from within by the proponents of ideologies which unsuc
cessfully sought to subjugate us from without.
The American farm affords the greatest single bastion from which
to defend the principle that the people are the masters of their gov
ernment, not the servants. A sound, self-supporting, prosperous and
unregimented agriculture is essential to the national welfare and the
preservation of the American way of life.
To that proposition the National Grange dedicates its full energies
and pledges unswerving loyalty. As long as American agriculture
remains free this nation never will be fettered by foreign ’isms. We
have a duty to defend that freedom against all threats, whether from
within or without our borders.

Echoes From The Mountains
H. GRADY HARDIN
THE HANDS OF GOD
The hands of Mother are the hands of God
That hold for Him the secret of a life;
And let Him breathe His breath upon the sod
To make this Breath and dust abundant life.
The hands are occupied with little things
Like mending clothes and picking up of toys,
Or giving wild imagination wings,
Ot leading feet to paths of greater joys.
The hands reach up to touch the doors of heaven
To draw again upon God’s matchless grace;
And then reach down to make this grace a leaven
That works to make a home God’s dwelling place.
God’s hands have worked through thine until I see
The hands of God touching me through thee.
H. G. H.
