Lesson TW: Jeremiah 23:21-32 Between the ministries of the pro phets Isaiah and Jeremiah there was an interval ol seventy years, son of Hdlkiah, who lived at The Ana - thoth, near Jerusalem, Jeremiah, was consecrated to God before his birth. He began his ministry at his birth place but soon moved to Jerusalem, where most of his me was spent, There for more than forty years, he' phets in Jeremiah's time, claim to faithfully proclaimed God's message j have been called of God, to speak for and passed through the most trying God end to act for God, when, as a and soul-stirring experiences. matter of fact, they never received Jeremiah's ministry was a life-long 'th di f ; martyrdom.

Of s Farm Waer System Select the right kind of pump and be sure the water supply is pure, then you have solved the most im portant problems in installing a farm water system, declares Howard M. Ellis, agricultural engineer of the State College Extension Service. "The pump is the heart of the sys tem, but of course it needs pure , water to serve the firm family safely," he said. ' One of the simplest pumps is the hydraulic ram. This is a device for pumpjng Water by means of water power. The conditions necessary for operating a ram are: A supply of water with a fall of at least two feet to the location of the ram, and sufficient fall below the ram to drain away the water used in its operation. ' I.' ,', , ' A shallow well pump may be used satisfactorily where' ground water can be reached within 22 feet of the surface, For lifts between 22 and 100 feet, Jet type pumps axe becom ing very popular Deep well pumps set directly over the well may be used for lifts of more than 22 feet. ; ' Continuing Ellis said that an ele vated tank should be a part of every farm water system, since it permits the flow of water .to nearby points in the house and barns I under pres sure. If the shallow ;iwell hand pump is used,' it should bevset over the kitchen: sink, .since this- la . the -point where" the most watefjvilll "be-needed. An overhead tank ' may ,be installed with a hand-operated shallow weF ; false prophets assured the king and the people that no harm would come to the city, but, in the face of the fierce hatred and opposition of his people, Jeremiah continued to preach his unpoplar messages from God. How pertinent is this lesson for us today! On every hand we are con fronted with the task of winnowing the true from the false. We are be ing assailed with cleverly concealed propaganda from the war fronts, de signed to mould public opinion. Ex- pertly-worded advertisements often- , times carry false propaganda, and especially is this true in the case of liquor advertisements. And, sad to say, we today are often exposed to the teaching and preaching of false prophets, who, like the false pro . , 1 by their fruits . . . ." A little care ful study of the life and works of any ipa-ior ,i1ov, v, mo K ... ', , . preaching. Jesus died on a cross; crucified by his own people, but the! centuries which have followed have proved the truth of his teachings' and the blessings which come to those I who try earnestly and sincerely to follow his leading. It isn t always easy to speak the truth as it is revealed by God. It takes courage to endure the ridicule; which often accompanies the unpopu-' lar truth, the unkindness of those from whom one has a right to expect the opposite and the loneliness which results from being different from the crowd. Jeremiah, Jesus, Paul and I scores of others have had this kind of courage. What about you? I pump, and from this tank water can be piped to other parts of the farm stead. Ellis recommends the gravity sys tem in the mountains and certain parts of the Piedmont, where the spring is at a higher elevation than the house. This does not require a pump, and is therefore the most economical in most instances. SPIVEY FAMILY REUNION The family of Mrs. R. L.
