The products of the plant, includ ing SCO-CO Fertilizers of all kinds for specified uses, are sold largely throughout Eastern North Carolina. During each year the company pays out to the farmers of several counties it serves hundreds of thous ands of dollars for farm products which it converts into other products, and during the running season pro vides regular and profitable employ ment to citizens of Hertford up to more than a hundred people. In addition to fertilizer and cotton seed products, the plant operates a cotton gin during the ginning season, and buys large quantities of cotton seed and soy beans, maintaining market for these products for local growers the year around.

LEADER IN SALES "CHEVROLET'S First SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON A PLEA FOR JUSTICE International Sunday School for April 7, 1940 Golden Text: ""Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the pate. Amos 5:15. Lesson Text: Amos 5:1, 10-15, 21-24 With this lesson, we begin a new series a study of the messages of the prophets. Through the consider ation of the Old Testament prophets, it is hoped that we might discover their meaning and value for onr times. About twenty-six eentmrie ago Ames wrote one of the earliest books n prophecy. It was just about a century after the time of Elijah. Amos was a shepherd and farmer, living at Tekoa, a little village six miles south of Bethlehem. He was not trained as a prophet and belongs to that select company of great men in the Bible who were humble work ers. Amos cared for a special va riety of sheep and was also a dresser of sycamore trees, which bare a small fig. 1 This was pinched to hast en its ripening. Hence, Amos was a fig pincher. The Book of Amos is not very long but it is our first literary mon ument of its kind. The Book, as Rev. George L. Petrie says, "has not the charm of poetry, but it has the fascinating power of oratory; an oratory, not of the schools, but of nature; not ornate, but rugged. The illustrations of the Book are objects of nature and scenes familiar to plainest country life. Of all the prophetic Books, this is the one which the plain, unlettered laborer on the farm, in the field or forest, may most easily read." The author was an able writer, however, Professor Bernhard Duhn says: "Amos spoke plainess. But he language with with unpolished can handle his l master's skill; every sentence is full of meaning, and every word strikes the mark. This reforming soul belongs among the classic writers of Israelite liter ature." Although Amos lived in the coun try he understood the life of his age. He saw the wickedness of the cities when he carried his products to mar ket, and many other evils, as Rev. Bernard C. Clausen enumerates: "Unscrupulous judges condemned the innocent for paltry bribes. The rich grasped the small possessions of the poor. Prices were fraudulently in creased and measures were fraudu lently diminished, and bad grain was sold as good. The most shametui n centiousness was practiced. Idolatry, with its bestial immoralities, was rampant. Everywhere Amos saw 8 OUT OF THE LAST 9 YEARS THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFOkD, N. C, wasteful luxury and extravagance, the more disgraceful in contrast with the wretched poverty of the people among whom he lived." Amos SRoke for social justice and he uttered a plea which the world has not heeded yet. He tells those who have become rich by taking ad vantage of their fellowmen that al though they build fine houses, they shall not dwell in them. He con demns without fear the social evils of his day. "The passion of Amos' soul is for the establishment of so cial justice," says Prof. J. E. Mc Fadden, "and his .denunciations and threats fall upon the heads of those who frustrate that, whether by inci dental cruelty, or, as here, by delib erate violation of the principles of equity in the courts of justice. The worst of offenders were "those who poisoned justice at its source, those who by their venal decisions made it a bitter thing for the poor man when it ought to have been sweet, and who laid righteousness prostrate up on the ground when she ought to have been erect and smiling." He seeks to make the religion of Israel a sincere one. Speaking for Jehovah he tells them to, "seek good and not evil," and, with em phasis, "hate the evil and love the good." As for the formal religious ceremonies he points out that these mean nothing unless the people live righteously. Outward, formal wor ship will not be accepted by God and he appeals to his hearers to "let jus tice roll down as waters and right eousness as a mighty stream." The preaching of Amos was not appre ciated by the king and the priests of Israel and they sent Amos back home where he wrote his immortal little book. "The writings of Amos are immor tal words," says J. E. McFadden; "they express in imperishable form the essence of religion, the simple demands of God upon men. The jus tice, the righteousness for which Amos here pleads, is a social thing; it is tender regard for the pooi. hatred of the evil conditions that have devastated their lives; it is the spirit which yearns and works for the removal of those conditions; it is, in a word, respect for person ality, fair play as between man and man. Let justice, in that sense, run through society, unimpeded by avar ice or selfishness or cruelty, let it roll on without let or hindrance like the waves of the sea." WIND BRINGS DUCKS Kane, 111. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, so theysay. The tornado which struck this town re cently brought its advantages to two Kane families. Each picked up a wild duok in their yards and had roast duck for dinner. 659 MASTER 85 BUSINESS COUPE Oth., moi.1. ,i8hty h8h.r f II model priced at , Flint, Mich, transportation based on rail rates, state and local taxes if any), optional equip, ment arid accessories extra Prices subject to change with- wi nonce. qo It "Dit It 8w It!
