fit, THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1938 PAGE THREE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 0 TWF. VICTORIOUS SERfANT Golden Text: "This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are wit- nesses." Acts 2-82. . lesson Text: Acts 2:22-36 Obedient to the command of Jesus that they "tarry ia Jerusalem" until the Holy Spirit should descend upon them, the disciples stayed in the city, using the "upper room" as a meeting place where they would gather for consolation with each other and to plan forJthe future. It was here, ftftv days after the death and resur rection of Jesus, that the disciples and apostles were together, when they were "all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, ae the spirit gave mem ut terance." Hearing: of this, a great multitude assembled before the house in which the disciples were and Peter, filled with the Spirit," boldly began to pro claim to them that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer of the world. He opened his sermon by quoting from the prophet Joel 'and from David,, characters well known to his Jewish hearers, and launched into a description of Jesus, "a man approv ed of God among you by miracles and signs ... as ye yourself know," who had been crucified by them but who had been raised up from the dead. He condemned his hearers, most of whom were Jews, for their sin in crucifying Jesus, and. when his lis teners in conviction, desired advice as to what they should do, Peter sum marized the necessary procedure in his words, recorded in Acts 2:38, "Repent, and he baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the .jtoly Spirit." The aspect s Peter's sermon with which we are most concerned in our discussion is the arguments he made in proof of Christ's victory over death, for the Christian faith in the divinity of Jesus and the confident be lief in individual immortality rests largely upon the reality of his victory over the powers of the grave. If Jesus did not live again after his death at the hands of the authori ties, the whole truth and dependence of the gospel stories becomes worth less. Therefore, it is very comforting to realize that the resurrection of Jesus is probably better attested than any other historical fact which is nearly two thousands years old. Aside from the many occasions upon which he appeared to his disciples all record ed in the ancient manuscripts the sudden .transformation which took place among his apostles, changing , them from frightened and discourag ed men into flaming evangels of a new doctrine, is evidence of some miraculous -event which transformed them. The average man or woman takes life and death as the expected, scarcely bothering himself with men tal searchings and gropings which lead to a firm conviction in life be yond the grave. Scientific proof of immortality is lacking if we require laboratory demonstrations under physical limitations, for no man can convince the doubter as definitely as he can show that water, heated, dis sipates itself as steam. But, neither can the doubter irrevocably prove that death is the end, for all nature seems to reveal the indestructability of matter. Form and habitat may be altered but that is all so with the , human soul. We know that hydrogen and oxy ,ven. in certain proportions, unite to , form that which We know of as wa ter. The running brook is hydrogen . lnd oxygen, the frozen ice or vapor - f)us steam is the same. Melt it or ' condense it, we have water again In Jts customary f onn.

Answer: Where the early crop is grown on sandy soils a mixture of three per cent nitrogen, eight per cent phosphoric acid, and eight per cent potash, applied at the rate of 1,000 and 1,200 pounds an acre is recommended. If more than this is used, one-half should be applied be fore planting and the remaining fer tilizer put on as a side application soon after the plants are well root ed. Lime is not recommended for sweet potato soils nor should stable manure be used in the ridge. this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery.

Question: Why is it that my broilers do not feather out properly? Answer: Early feathering is an inherited characteristic and, while diet and humidity are related to feathering, if this factor is not es tablished in the breeders it is diffi cult to bring it out by careful man agement. If the trouble is consist ent in a number of lots of chicks, it would be best to discard the breeding stock. In selecting new breeding stock, be eure that the parent flock has this characteristic as well as size and shape so necessary in broiler production. control Question: How can I blight on my apple trees? Answer: Recent experiments have -shown that one pound of copper sul phate, also known as bluestone, and two pounds of chemical grade hy- drated lime in fifty gallons of water, applied when the trees are in full bloom, will give definite benefits of control. The spraying must be done when the flowers are in bloom. It is sometimes difficult to get full control, due to irregularity in the blooming but generally it protects a sufficient number of blossoms to assure a full crop of fruit.
