Luke 11:19. (Lesson Text t Luke llsl-13) w The discjples ofJesus came to him asking that" he teacY'em Kow 'to pray, and in reply to this request Jesus repeated the various petitions which Christianity calls to this day, "Hhe Lord's Prayer." "Prayer is not a burden to be borne", an obligation to be' fulfilled, something that is due to God and must be paid," says Barry Emerson Fondick. "Prayer is a nrivilesre: like friendship and. family, love and laugther, great books, great music, and great art, it is one of life's op portunities to be grasped thankfully and used gladly. The man who miss es the deep meanings of prayer has not so much refused an obligation; he has robbed himself of life's su preme privilege friendship and God." "A devout religious life blossoms into prayer as inevitably as the bulb of a lily unfolds, through growth, the prophetic loveliness at the heart of it," says Gaius GJenn Atkins. "Prayer, therefore, is as old as reli gion itself. Wherever religion has risen above the lowest level of fear and superstition, it has expressed it self in some kind of prayer. We find prayers on the broken clay tablets of old civilizations. They are im bedded in old literature; they are as pects of ceremony and sacrifice. The world has always been girdled by a chain of praying folk, the centuries are bound together by the prayers of the devout." Charles Kmgsley says if God's will were done on earth as it is in heaven, "it would abolish all the vice of the world and therefore the mis ery which springs from vice. Ah, that God's will were but done on i earth as it is in the material heaven overhead, in perfect order and obed ience. as the stars roll in their courses, without rest, yet without haste; as all created things, even the most awful, fire and hail, snow and vapor i wind and storrh, fulfill God's werd, who hath made them sure for ever and ever, and given them a law which shall not be'Droken. But a- bove them, above the djvine and won derful order of the material universe, and the winds which are God's an gels, and the flames, of fire which are His messengers'; above all, the prophets and apostles have caught sight of another divine and wonder ful order of rational beings, of races loftier and purer than man-angels and arch-angels, thrones and domin ions, principalities and powers,, ful filling God's will in heaven as it is not, alas, fulfilled on earth." a - . The petition and daily "read is commented upon by J. D. Jones as follows: "This prayer proclaims the fact of our dependence upon God for the very simplest of boons. It is a prayer for all men, for the prince as well as for the pauper, for the rich as well as for the poor, because all are absolutely dependent upon God. IU the last resort, all men depend upon the produce of the field, and the produce of the field is the gift of God. ''Man cannot make food. He cannot create bread. He cannot command a harvest. God must give it. , And He . gives the harvest year by year. I have read somewhere that, when, the month of August comes-around, the world is, eadh year-withm'two months ' of, famine. Howprcibly such a fact., preaches 'tlje .truth of our dependence upon OtfdP Deliverance'' from temptation is ariotjierj plea.

"God tempts no man to evil, but for good; He trier and tests, as He tempted Abraham and the children of Israel in the Wilderness. Satan tempts uhto evil;, he tries to 'qnfuae evil into the human mind. Many of God's providential dealings are pro bations such as prosperity, health, talent; or sickness, poverty, afflic tion. Satan - convert i them ,jnto temptations; "our sinful hearts give him abundant facility in. this. The child of God distrusts himself, dreads sin and says to God 'Lead me not where there are snares and pitfalls I am shortsighted; where there are strong enemies, I am weak; keep Satan, keep sinful allurements from me, keep my neart, so that probation may not become temptation to me lead me, that I may not fall, but abide in Christ'." Verses nine and ten 6ffer a stimu lating challenge to the spiritual faith of those who profess to believe. AAA Committees Must Okeh Some Practices An important announcement to farmers by E. Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer of N. C. State College, points out that "several of the soil building practices under the 1941 Agricultural Conservation Program require prior approval by the county AAA committee before credit will be given." 1 "These include a number of prac tices which farmers will-be carrying out' mostly during the next' few months," Floyd stated. ''Among these are: Contour strip-cropping, forest stand improvement, apple tree removal, and fruit or nut tree plant ing on contour." ; Before credit can be given for such practices, the AAA leader said, the prior approval of the county AAA committee must be obtained in writ ing with one copy going to the pro ducer and one copy filed in the com pliance envelope for the farm. The written approval will include instruc tions for carrying out the practice in accordance with the Triple-A regu lations. AAA supervisors or representa tives of the county committee will determine whether the practice has been carried out 'in accordance with the instructions and specifications. The county committee may elect to have the county agent, assistant agent, or a vocational teacher to act ps the committee's representative. Floyd also called attention to the terracing specifications under the 1941 program. In all cases where the terraces are not constructed by a county terracing unit, the producer will be required to present evidence that the terraces have been built ac cording to standard requirements and have been laid out by either a re presentative of the Extension Ser vice,' a representative of the Soil Conservation Service, or a vocational teacher. GARDEN CLUB MEETS The Hertford Garden Club met on Friday evening at the home of Mrs. W. D. Landing with Mrs. E. L. Reed and Mrs. V. A. Holdren as assisting hostesses.- The house was beautifully decorated, the Yuletide motif being carried out. . - ' The meeting was opened by re peating the Collect in, uroson,' after which Mrs. Wilson Reed and Mrs. Jos'jah Elliott read interesting Christmas stories. :. Miss Frances Maness demonstrated wrapping , of jCliristmas packages. Mrs.' B. T.; Wood led entertaining -twestts.' Names were exchanged and each . one, received a Christmas gift.

"A . driver's responsibility does not cease whfli h4 steps-out of the ve hicle he has been driving, . Ronald Hocutt, director of the North -Carolina Highway Safety. Division, assert ed this week in calling" attention to several serious accidents recently in which driverless cars or trucks were involved. ' - In one of these accidents, Hocutt said, a truck which , had been left parked on a slight incline without the hand brake on rolled down the grade, struck a telephone pole, and, killed a lineman working on top of the pole. A driver delivering a ton of coal this fall got out of his truck to open the coal shute door and left the truck out of gear, with the motor running. The truck rolled down an incline and pinned a woman against the house, killing her instantly. In Raleigh a few days ago, an oM truck driver left his truck parked next to the curb while he ran into a drug store to getx some cigarettes. The truck rolled off down the street, smashing into the side of a house. "Such accidents as these are utter ly inexcusable," Director Hocutt said. "And they are due entirely to the careressness of the drivers." "Parking properly is a thing so easy to do," he said. "It is always advisable to cut off the motor and set the hand brake before leaving a parked vehicle. If parked on a downgrade, cut the front wheels in to the curb; on an upgrade, cut the front wheels away from the. curb. Drivers of trdtks should always chuck their wheels before leaving their trucks parked on an incline, be cause a hand brake can not always be depended upon to hold a heavy truck. Even air brakes can,!hot al ways be counted on to hold a truck parked on a grade, because there may be leaks. Proper parking is highly important." something for a needy basket. The hostesses served delicious re freshments. Those present were: Mrs. W. D. Landing, Mrs. E. L. Reed, Mrs. V. A. Holdren, Mrs. G. R. Tucker, Mrs. J. S. McNider, Mrs. Josiah Elliott, Miss Frances Maness, Mrs. B. T. Wood, Mrs. Wilson Reed, Mrs. W. N. Tuck er, Mrs. George Fields, Mrs. Sey more Chappell, Mrs. C. A.

December Is Good Time To Move Trees, Shrubs Most trees and shrubs are dormant during December, and John H. Har ris, Extension landscape specialist, says plants usually must be in a dormant stage to be moved success fully. A few plants, he says, have special times to be moved, but you are almost sure to be right in mov ing the plant while it is dormant. If the plant to be moved is decidu ous (drops its foliage in the winter) it is not necessary to remove a ball of earth with the plant. Care should be taken, however, to remove all the roots possible, and avoid bruising the roots, Hams advises. -. It will be found helpful in moving a native plant to dig a trench around its base one season before moving it. This trench should be dug 18 to 24 inches deep,' the distance from the plant varying -witl the size of tJie plant. The- objject in digging the"; trench is to stimulate the growth "ft fine roots near the base of the tree, or shrub. After, the plant is. removed from' the soil,; Harris says it should be im mediately planted. In its new posi tion. If it is to be transferred some distance before replanting, it should be packed in shavings or at least J a wet sack kept around its roots. It is very essential that the roots be ke$t moist until the plant is re-set. " , Evergreens should bo treated simi lar, to. deciduous; shrubs except that they ire usually" dug with ball , of earth. A two to six-foot native plant is usually the best size to move. "However,'!, the State College spec ialist declared, "this does not mean that larger shrubs .or trees cannot be moved jracessfully. Full grown trees and shrubs can be transplanted, but a tremendous root system must be tak en up with 'the plant which, makes the job expensive, and laborsome." ' W. I. L.
