Text: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy v sight, 0 Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14. Lesson Text: Psalm. 19 Few people fail to appreciate the beautv. of nature or refuse to believe in God, the supreme creator of the universe. While, as the fsaimisi declares, the forces of nature the heavens, the stars, the sun or the moon do not speak, their influence and effect are felt to the end of the world. They all witness to the wis dom and power of God. From the Tevelation of God in nature, the Psalmist turns to ms revelation of himself in his written word. As J. S. S. Perowne says: "He turns from that which was the common property of all to that which was the special privilege of the Jew . . . The transition to this subject is no doubt somewhat abrupt, but this only renders the, contrast the more forcibly striking. There is a quick rebound of the heart, as it were, from the world of nature, beautiful and glorious as it is, to that which is far more beauti ful and more glorious, the word of revelation. But despite the seeming abruptness there is a point of con-i nection between the two portions ol the Psalmi What the sun is in the natural world, the law is in the spiritual: the one quickens and cherishes the animal life nothing being hid from his heat; the other quickens and cherishes the life of the soul. The Psalmist, in verses 7, 8 and 9, proceeds to describe the word of God in six titles, which present shades of meaning of one grand idea. The Law tells of the divine instruc tion relative to character and Con duct. Testimony tells of the diviniej witness to what God is, and what we, should be. Statute tells of di vine directions designed to secure obedience, or check disobedience. Commandment tells of the divine decrees, authoritative and glorious. Fejnr tells of the settled habit of the soul which is informed by the law. Judgments tell of the judicial de cisions and sentences of Jehovah. (Or,. Graham Scroggie). Of these six1 pities we learn that, they are, respectively, perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, enduring and true, each having the effect of leading the con scientious believer to a deeper ap preciation of the treasure of the Word of God. It might also be well toi point out that in each of the six parallel clauses mentioned above, the phrase "of the Lord" occurs. One well knows that not all the. laws of the Lord, if observed, do restore the soul. N6t all testimony is sure, but the testimony of the Lord, if absorb ed into the heart and soul, will make wise even the simple and un learned. Space does not permit takinir ud each point, but we believe the truth is obvious to all Much of the fevered struggle for material possessions, for fame, for contentment in this world, would vanish if only people would realize and accept the truths outlined in this Psalm. The word of God points out the permanent, abiding things and make thoffight for the transitory things of life seem foolish. Through the first eleven verses of this Psalm, God is revealed; as speak ing to the Psallmist. It is perfectly natural, then, that after God had thus graciously spoken to man, that man should in turn address God. The Scriptures are God's word to us; prayer is our word to uoa. Story Of Mid l(ept25-Yecr-0:ii' Date With Dsatii Truth Is Much Stranger Than Fiction In Case Of Dunn Man Who Left No Unfinished Business You've heard folks say "I'm going to die." You've heard them say "I'm going to die soon." Perhaps you've heard them say "I can't live another month," but did you ever hear one say "I'm going to die in July of 1940", and say it for fifteen years? Or if someone did tell you that, did he go home apparently in perfect health and die at the appointed time not by his own hand)? That's just what happened in Dunn last Saturday. Carson C. Surles 59-year-old fill ing station employee, kept the ren dezvous with death that he made 25 years ago while he had a severe case m. ! of tvDhoid fever. His story, .as he on August 18 bo he spent, all last week visiting friends and relatives and bidding them good-bye vand in viting them , to the funeral. Early last .-week he cleaned off his ceme tery lot in readiness. An undertaker revealed that' Sorles left instructions for his burial a year ago, saying that he' was "scheduled, to die next July." He also made arrangements "with a minister.' - v ' " So this past Saturday morning he told his employer that "it's about time and I'm going home and get ready." A, few hours later he was desperately ill, and friends' , and neighbors who had put little faith, in his prediction, stood at the bedside and watched him draw his final breaths. ' So it was little wonder that exami nation by a physician failed to reveal the cause. The doctor was convinced that Surles had not committed sui side and there was no evidence of foul play. Daily newspapers said he often said that he had the utmost faith in the Lord's plan that he should go this year and said he would be ready before his birthday. Surles left no unfinished business. He kept his appointment with death. And for once the maxim fits "Truth is stranger than fiction." ance "against disease,' feather-picking, and prolapsed. Green feed furnishes succulence, minerals... and vitamins, and is rich in other'; essential food factors. " " i-t " ' ' Y f, . A liberal supply of green feed cuts feed bills and aids in growing a mor healthy. pullet. . While green feed is more important during the growing stage, it does have a definite place in the bird's diet after laying starts. For late summer grazing - and green feed, sowed young green corn may be used to good , advantage, along with Sudan gss, wheat,- oats barley.' soybeans, and alfalfa. Ii provided, a green feed crop should f be planted now. " r -'K, v Because egg prices generally rise sharply in August; many poultry pro ducers ruin their pullets hy rushing them with laying mash, Parrish said. The best plan is to let the. pullets mature normally on ; growing mash, corn;: oats,' and . green feed. Before ,. the birds are changed to laying mash, they should have reached at least. 20 percent production. , "1 think I'll open up a model tea Shop." , ' "Don't do it.

"TVi mnfo-m-nlflt.inn nf t.hp lnw cannot but lead to self-examination 'generally and that to petition," declared Alex ander Maclaren. "So the Psalmist passes into prayer. His short-comings appall, for 'by the law is the knowledge of sin,' and he feels that beyond the sin which he knows there is a dark region in him where foul things nestle and breed fast. 'Se cret faults' are those hidden, not from men, but from himself. He dis covers that he has hitherto undiscov ered sins.' "When the words of the mouth co incide with the meditation of the heart, we may hope that prayer foi' cleansing from, and defense against i sin, offered to him whom our faith recognizes as our 'strength' and ourj 'redeemer,' will be as a sacrifice of aj sweet smell, well-pleasing to God.1 He best loves the law of Jehovah who lets it teach him his sin. and send him to his knees; he best appre ciates the glories of the silent heav ens who knows that their witness to God is but the prelude of the deepei music of the Scriptures' declaration of the heart and will of Jehovah, and who grasps him as his strength and his redeemer from all evil, whether evil of 'sin or evil of sorrow."

Friends passed it off as a phobia of some type and thought he was the victim of an hallucination or a dream. But Surles told them that while he lay desperately ill 25 years ago he asked the Lord to spare his life. Surles related to friends . . . "He said He would spare me, but that I had to go before I became 60." Surles would have reached that age C. F. Parrish, poultryman of the State College Extension Service. The good poultryman will see that his birds are well fed on growing mash, whole corn, whole oats, and green feed. Here's why these items are so important in the pullet's diet: The growing mash helps to build a good egg factory. Corn puts weight on the bird and lays on a reserve of fat for the heavy laying period. Oats furnish ifiber, and help build resist- NO FAST-BURNING SMOKf S V FORME.
