SUkDAY SG!!0DL LESSON
THE NEW COVENANT
International Sunday School Lesson
For May 26, 1940
Golden Text: "I will put my
law in their inward-parts, and
write it in their hearts; and
Willi be their God, and they shall'
be my people.'' Jer. 81 :83
Jeremiah, the prophet, realized
that the old covenant which God
Ijad made with Abraham concern
ing the children of Israel had been
broken because they had not lived
up to their part of the agreement.
, As punishment for their sins and
falling away from Jehovah, Jeremiah
- prophesied that Judah would be tak
en captive - by Nebuchadneszar, that
the beloved temple would be de
stroyed and the people taken as ex
iles to Babylon. For this very un
popular teaching, Jeremiah became
a veritable martyr, suffering all
kinds of persecutions for Judah be
lieved that she would escape the
impending doom, that Jerusalem was
inviolable because the Temple was in
its midst and that the nation could
not perish.
Before he died, Jeremiah saw the
fulfillment of his prophecies. As he
saw the long night of exile settling
down on his people, his prophetic in
Bight went a little farther and, out
Of the ruins of Jerusalem, he beheld
a new city and a new covenant tak
ing the place of the old.
Where the old covenant stressed
the guidance and protection of God
to Israel as a nation, the new cove
nant emphasized the importance of
the individual's relationship to God.
Careful study reveals that the pro
gress of doctrine in the Bible is al
ways toward the fuller recognition
of individual personality. From the
tribe to the individual, from a group
consciousness to a personal experi
ence, from a vague recognition of
many gods to a discovery of one In
finite God, from a Messianic nation
or a group within the nation to the
expectation of a coming Savior, the
trend is toward the recognition of the
individual. While we cannot afford
to neglect the social aspects of our
faith, it is well for us always to con
sider the fact that the religion of
our Bible is the religion of a per
sonal righteousness and a personal
immortality.
Jeremiah approved and endorsed

is
the' reformations inaugurated by
King Josiah which did. much to cor
rect the worst practices of the
heathen cults, centralized worship
in the Temple at Jerusalem and put
in force the admirable law code of
Deuteronomy. However, this was
an external reformation which did
not touch the hearts of the people
nor cleanse their inner lives. Jere
miah saw the need of a religion of
the, heart and began to preach,
"Wash thine heart from wickedness,
that thou mayest be saved." (Jer
4:14). He declared that a good life
is rooted in a cleansed heart upon
which God's word is written, and
that every man is responsible for his
own life.
The people became incensed at
the doctrine-which Jeremiah preach
ed. It was much easier for them to
go to the Temple, make an offering
and go through ceremonies than it
was for them to cleanse their hearts
and lives. They did not understand,
evidently, that offerings meant noth
ing to God if hands and lives were
stained with sin. Do we need Jere
miah's message today? Do we think
that all that God requires is that we
attend Sunday school and tne wor
ship service, bring an offering and
money and, perhaps, study our les
son once in a while? Are you one
who could be called a "Sunday Chris
tion?" There are many who are
regular attendants at church on
Sunday who forget all about God and
Jesus Christ the other days of the
week. Are you among them?
God will speak for our lives today,
if we will but let Hkn, through the
medium of our conscience, or moral
intuition. Henry Alford Porter, in
an article in "The Christian Index,"
said, "Conscience is the voice of God
within saying, 'Do right, do right, do
right.' It bids us choose the right
and refuse the wrong. But if con
science is the voice of God, why is
it, you may ask, that conscience tells
one person that a certain action is
right and another that it is wrong?
"The truth is that conscience does
not tell us what is right and what is
wrong. That is the function of the
mind. You have to use your mind
about it, your reasoning faculties,
your moral judgment. Of course,
the mind is not infallible. Its
judgments get mixed up with human
feelings, traditions, prejudices ...
"To sum it all up, two needs are
ours enlightened minds and sensi
tive consciences. We need enlight
ened minds that we may be able to
discern what is right and what is
wrong, with so many varying views
abroad as to what
wrong, where shall
is rijrht ana
our nerolexedi
minds find lieht? Are we
all at '
sea? By no means. We find light
where Paul found it. In Jesus
Christ we have an absolute Jrust-
worthy moral standard. He laid
down no rules, but what a standard
he set up in his life and teaching."
ONE-FIFTH BACK AT WORK
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture estimates that one-fifth of all
factory workers since 1932 have gone
back to work because of increased
purchases of farm families.
POTATO STANDARDS REVISED

Farms For Sale May
Be Listed Here
At FSA Office
Real Estate Agents and
Farm Land Owners
Invited to List Selec
tion to Aid Tenants
Any farm land for sale in Per
quimans County can be listed foi
sale with the Farm Security Admin
istration for consideration under the
FSA tenant purchase program. A
Houston Edwards, County Supervis
or, announced today.
This means any real estate agent
or farm land owner in Perquimans
County can register farms for sale at
the FSA office in Hertford. Fundf
for the sale of farm lands to tenants
seeking to become owners under the
FSA program have been appropriat
ed by Congress under the Bankhead
Jones Act, and purchase of these
farms is under supervision of the
Farm Security Administration.
Mr. Edwards said each county FSA
office wanted as large a se'ection oi
farms as possible in aiding tenants
to purchase farms, and asked that
local farm real estate men file their
lists of suitable farms for sale with
the PSA office. The prospective
purchasers, who expect to borrow
from ESA, will be referred to the
owners and agents of suitable farm
lands.
PEANUT REPORT
Virginia-North Carolina Section:
Planting has been active during the
recent favorable weather. In some
sections of North Carolina 60 to 70
percent of the crop has now been
planted, and in some of the Virginia
peanut area at least 50 percent of the j
crop is in the ground. If favorable
weather continues planting should be
heavy during the next few days, and
it is expected that the end of May
should see nearly all of the acreage
in the large-podded area planted.
The market for farmers' stock has
strengthened slightly, although the
movement to market has been less
active recently than it was last week.
Some holders of farmers' stock pea
nuts continue to delay selling in the
anticipation of higher prices later.
Prevailing prices, delivery point bas

Cites Reasons For
Fewer Prisoners

An Increased public interest and

welfare field were jjiven this ' week
as the probable cause for a decline in

- W. Curtis EielV director of the
division of institutions and correc
tions of; the State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare, ascribed much
of the ' change as due tOKnew pro
graras of social welfare operated by
the siate or federal governments.
- "The National outh i Administra
tion, Civilian Conservation Corps, the
employment services,' -Child Welfare
Serviced and. aid .to dependent chil
dren all liave played, a part in the
remaking of many of our youthful
citizens," the welfare official said.
Organization of county welfare de
partments in all 100 counties of
North Carolina helped lower the
number of children incarcerated in
county jails from 1,231 in 1936 to
1,070 in 1937, with a further reduc
tion through 878 in 1938 down to the
1939 low of 784, or a total reduction
of 38 percent, Ezell said.
"These reductions have been made
without the addition of new or sub
stitute institutions or facilities and
without a corresponding rise in ths
populations of institutions already
existing.
"The training schools for delin
quents show no increase in admis
sions in 1939 over 1986. Each year
there were a total of 488 admissions
to the four training schools," he
stated.
Commitments of persons under .16
years of age to the state prison sys
tem have taken another turn with a
rise from 64 in 1936 to 101 in 1939
although the younger prisoners are
making up an ever increasingly
smaller percentage of the total pris
on population. In fiscal 1933 per
sons under 25 made up half the total
commitments while in 1938 the
prisoners under 25 years of age ac
counted for only 40 per cent of the
total number.
DURA NTS NECK CLUB MEETS
Miss Frances Maness, home dem
onstration agent, met with a tev.
members of the Durants Neck Club
Monday afternoon. An interesting
demonstration on caning chairs was

ance at these meetings increase and
urges the full cooperation of every
member to this end. It is only by

plished. All members are urged to
be present at the next meeting.
