THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY. MARCH 7, 1941 ; ' . FACE SEVEN SUiiAY SCHOOL K LESSON CHRIST REJECTED International Sunday School for March 9, 1941 Lesson Golden Text: "Blessed are ye, when men 'shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you false ly, or for my sake." Matthew. Lesson Text: Luke 20:9-20 Our lesson for this week follows immediately after that of last week ' and is a continuation of Jesus' ans wer to the Sanhedrin when they Juestkmed him regarding his author ty. As a matter of fact, all of the i fronts recorded in Luke 20 to Luke ,rL:5. took Dlace in Jerusalem proper, lurinir what we have come to call Passion Week, or the week imme ,liiately preceding his crucifixion. Matthew followed Jesus' declaru ;,. tion of his authority with the para . bles of the two sons (Matthew 21: ' 28-32) but both Luke and Mark omit .thiB narable. Still other attempts were made during the day to ensnare Jesus. He was asked by the Phari sees and Herodians about the tribute money; the Sadducees asked Jesus about the resurrection; a scribe asked him what he considered the great commandment. Jesus again denoun ced the scribe and gave us the beau tiful story of the widow's mite. Following this, Jesus went out from Jerusalem with his apostles for talk together about last things. It J was a busy day in the history of the world, filled with contrast of trick ery and honesty, hate and love, con spiracy and devotion. Fallowing the questioning of hut authority by the scribes and Phar isees, Jesus told them a story, the meaning of which was very clear to them. It was a story of a certain man who pl'anted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen and then took a jour ney into a far country. When the owner sent his servants to collect his rightful share of the fruits, they were shamefully treated and sem awav. Having sent three servanth gtf different times, the owner finally decided to send his own son to collect his share of the fruits. The wicked husbandmen, reasoning that the son was the heir and that if he were put out of the way, they Jfcould inherit the vineyard, killed him also. Pressing home the lesson of the parable, Jesus asked. "What therefore shall the lord of the vine yard do unto them?" And answered ( j his own question by declaring, "He1 shall come and destory these hus bandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others." ' The wicked husbandmen, of course, v represented the Jewish people, and the scribes and Pharisees caught the v implication. The vineyard represents fche work that God gave theni to do a? the Chosen people. God entrusted tnj Jewish nation with a great steward ship when he entered into covenant relationship with them at Sinai. ' They were the people through whom ifeod would uniquely reveal Himself to the world- Old Testament histor reveals how shamefully the prophets 4 r of God were treated and how then 1 messages from God were scorned ana ; disregarded. The last of these i prophets was John the Baptist and jflfe, too, was rejected by the rulers and leaders of the people. 1 Because God is so longsuffering with his people, he sent his beloved 4 Son to Israel, but he was rejected iand slain by the rulers of Israel. "Knowing that this was to happen, . Jesus told his. hearers that a reck oning day would come to the Chosen , People of God. The "atone" whicn the "builders" .rejected would become the "head of the corner." And, that 1 would happen to the heir? "He shall . come and destroy these husbandmen , and shall give the vineyard to - others." ' , This prophecy of Jesus was lit erally fulfilled, as we pointed out last week. Jerusalem, with its beauti i ful temple,, was laid desolate only v forty years later. From that time on ' , there has in fact been no Jewish nation as a nation. The vineyard of ,. , the theocracy was taken away from j, ' the Chosen People. Out of the ruins of the old theocracy of the kingdom -'of God, the New Israel, of which Jesus Christ, the rejected, corner-" stone, is the chief cornerstone. . There's a lesson for all nations ol v the world in the experience of Israel. No nation can escape the judgement of God than could the nation of Jrael escape .when it rejected the uhrist America as a nation, stands at the crossroad today. Shall we, like Israel of old, . reject Christ, and ' shall our vineyard be taken from us ' ad given to others?.'. , -V V- CIRCLE NO.

They are very tender to frost or to cold cut ting winds In their younger stages. Gardens with light, warm, sandy soil can get an earlier bean start than those with heavy colder soil The first crop, 'in which we take a gamble with the weather, should be given the warmest, mellowest, and best drained patch in the gar den. Later on when the frost dan ger is past it will make little differ ence, as the string bean is the most obliging of vegetables and will even produce a fair crop in positions much more shaded than some other vegetables will tolerate. The choice of varieties is first of all whether you want to grow green beans or wax beans. Both have their advocates as to superiority of flavor. Then you may choose whether you at a round podded or a flat podded bean. Some claim the round pods are more tender than the flat, although there seems no sound basis for the argument There are numerous excellent va rieties from which to choose and al most any sort offered by a relia ble seed house will give excellent re sults. The stringless greenpod is offered by all, a standard variety, various strains having been devel oped from the original variety. Beans are now as often grown in rows, the individual plants 6 inches apart, as in the old style hill man ner with two or three plants to a hill. Greater production and easier cultivation is claimed for the row type. The one warning concerning their cultivation is not to work the patch while the leaves of the beans are wet, either with dew or from rain. Rust seems to follow. A rust spotted pod ruins it for culinary use and this is about the only disaster likely to happen to a pod bean. Pole beans are the heaviest yield- ers of the family, and in the small garden win give more iooa ior me pace occupied than any other crop. They are later in season and more l" 5'HIGH HA.IL TO stake trweh securely INTO GftOUNP. Poles With Strings for Support, Will Increase Yield of Beans in Small Space. tender than the bush beans. They should not be planted until the weather is settled and the ground warm. Plant six to eight seeds in a hill, and thin out to the four strongest. The hills should be two feet apart The secret ol quality and abun dant yield in pole beans is to pick them when half mature, and keep the vines picked clean. Kentucky Wonder is the favoiite variety. It will produce pods ten inches long, if you wish, but these pods will have strings. If they are picked half grown the strings will not both er and the quality will be much better. The illustration shows a simple way to make a tent of pole beans. The string up which the vines climb should be fairly heavy, otherwise it may rot and let the vines fall when they are producing well. Copper wire, which does not rust makes a good support for I beans. Indian Squaws Lose in Tourney Play The Indian Squaws met defeat in the second round of the Rural Con ference basketball tourney held at Central High gym iast week-ena. Losing the game played against Manteo in the semi-final round clos ed the 1941 basketball season for the girls. The Squaws advanced to the sec ond round by virtue of -a well-earned victory over the strong Kitty HawK team on Thursday nisrht. Final re sults of this game were 17-15. Mayes1 and Gault tallied 8 points each while 1 White scored the remaining poinl , for the Squaws. ' The Indians then met the Manteo team, undefeated thus far this yeai and failed to cope with the strong team play of the girls from the sea I shore. The final whistle showed the Dare County lassies ahead 39-11. j The game was well played by both teams and the score little indicates the exhibition. Manteo's superior shooting and passing was too great , a handicap for the Squaws, who dis-1 played a fine game but were unable to work their offensive close to the basket. Mayes scored 6 tallies and Gault hit for 5 against the Dare team. arranged for games and contests. Mrs. Cecil WinBlow was awarded the first grand prize, and Mrs. Corp Reed, the second. 1 Mrs. N.

It has been used on practically every crop under prac tically all conditions At the Delta Experiment Station in Mississippi, it has been applied continuously for twenty years on cotton and com. At the Pennsylvania Experiment Station it has been used continuously on ap ples for almost thirty years, and for over fifty years on a rotation includ ing corn, oats, wheat, and hay.

Shipments to United States territory, which is the largest single market, amounted to 720,709 tons after de ducting trans-shipments to othe. countries. The bulk of all thesoj Shipments was for agricultural pur poses. "World sales can hardly stay at thiB level in the current year, how ever," the Review states, "because the war has closed the greater part of the European market. On the other hand, commercial sales to the United States and other market are expected to increase, and no dil ficulty is anticipated in arranging for supplies to meet any demand from American farmers.
