f "THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. SUiMY SCHOOL LESSON BROADENING CHRISTIAN ! HORIZONS International Sunday School for June 1, 1941 Lesson Golden Text: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believe th; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16. Lessons Text: Acts 11:19-30 The persecution which followed the martyrdom of Stephen caused the disciples to flee from Jerusalem. Some of them went to Antioch in Syria. This city was the capital of the Roman province of Syria, and was situated on the river Orontes about twenty miles from its mouth. Antioch was several centuries oW and followed Rome and Alexandria in importance to the world of its day. Its main street, paved with marble 1 nd lined with a double colonnade, ran five miles. To it came the trade laden caravans from Persia and In dia. Yet, with its luxury, it was known for its wickedness and corrup tion; so much so that the Roman Juvenal to signify the degradation of Rome said that the "Syrian Orontes has flowed into the Tiber." The Christians who fled from Jeru salem to Antioch first preached the doctrine of the new faith to Jews t yiy. Then they took a forward step Jnd began preaching to the Greeks in Antioch, as well. The church at Jerusalem sent Barnabas to investi gate the new development but he re joiced in the work when he recog- nized the genuiness of the exper L ience of the Gentiles. Fifteen years of the Christian era had passed and Antioch was to be come the second birthplace of Chris tianity through its vision and wisdom in sponsoring the first missionary program of the new faith. Leader ship in the Antioch church was in the hands of five men, named in the first verse of the thirteenth chapter, including Barnabas and Eaul. Barna bas, after witnessing the activity of the Christian believers in Antioch, had remained in that city and be came a part of this religious move ment. A few years before the date fqi our lesson he had sent to Tarsus and influenced Saul to join him in Antioch, where they labored together. The distress of the Christians at Jerusalem during a period of famine so aroused the sympathy of the An tioch church that they collected funds for the relief of their brethren. Of the generosity of these early believers in Christianity. Dr. Geo. W. McDaniel has declared: "Liberality thrives in an atmosphere of evangel ism. The heart that is warm with the grace of God is generous toward every human need. Money flows freely from Christians in a state of revival. The financial problem of a church is fundamentally a spiritual problem. The first act of the An tioch church was to take a collec tion. Agabus predicted a dire and distressing famine. Barnabas has qualified as an authority in benefi cence. He probably led in this offer ing. The man who gives can induce fthera to give, anywhere, every . where, for any object The people ' know. They cannot be camouflaged by the preacher's talk or pretensions to liberality. Theymeasure him by what he is and does. When he leads unselfishly, heroically, they follow. A liberal preacher makes . a liberal ihurch." Dr. W. M. Smith gives seven char acteristics which belonged to the church at Antioch and should charac ' terize -every true group of Christian Garden Additions "May Be Made Now it There are still many vegetables that the farm family may plant in ; the home garden as late as June, according to H. R. Niswonger, exten- !.eion horticulturist of N. C. State "College. V Sweet corn, field peas, New Zea land spinach, Swiss chard, lima and snap beans, okra, egg plant, squash, " and cucumbers are good crops to ' plant. In the mountains, June is the month to plant the main crop of cab bage. Niswonger suggested that the space between the rows of vegetables be. utilized for a second planting of the same vegetable or a different one if the garden area is small. June is also the month to begin planning1 for the fall garden, the - State College specialist said. As . sp6n as the early or mid-season vege idmea have been harvested and if the area; occupied, by these vegetables is to remain idle, the land should be cleaned of all dead plants and vines. Njext tep is the ! broadcasting of a libeml application of stable or chick en, manure and acid phosphate and then plowing this material under. : After . each rain the land should 'be cultivated, and. the grass and weeds kept down so as- to have the soil in rood condition . for . fall planting. Other areas hot occupied should be prepared' also for fall gardens. - Insect control in the garden is im portant. Niswonger suggested dust . ng .cabbage, collards, , broccoli, and snap beans with one per cent ro tenone dust to kill worms and bean beetles.1 " f - l w ' l"4 ' , people who gather together for wor ship and for the hearing of God's word: (1) The membership of the church is made up of those who have turned from unrighteousness and idols to believe in the true and living trod; (2) These members have been brought into the knowledge of the truth by the preaching of the Word, which is the preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ; . (3) The converts of this church received adequate instruction in the truth of the Christian faith at the hands of one who had gifts for teaching and a real knowledge of the Word of God: (4) The church, in its life, shows unmistakable signs of being a body of believers on whom the blessing and power of God rests; (5) The church shows itself to be in life, in conduct, in belief, identical with the other true churches of the known world, and is in fellowship with these churches; (6) The church is distinctly liber al in its attitude toward other fellow believers who are suffering because of peculiar circumstances; (7) The members of this church, m me miast oi a corrupt environ ment, were living such unique, un wonuiy, noiy lives mat they were marked out ,by all the other citizens of Antioch as so distinct from unre generated man as to require a new name given them.

Commercial Plant Food Consumption Hits New High An all-time record for fertilizer consumption was established by farmers with 8,311,000 tons of com mercial fertilizer used on farms dur ing the past crop year, according to the annual consumption reports made public today by The National Fertili zer Association. This is an increase of more than one-half million tons over the prior year. "Tonnage figures in themselves do not tell the complete story of plant food consumption in this banner year, since there has been a significent in crease in the amount of plantfood contained in a ton of fertilizer," said Charles J. Brand, Executive Secre tary of the Association. "This year's tonnage figure was 16 per cent above 1920 but the amount of plantfood contained and used was 64 per cent greater." This year's tonnage includes 7, 839,000 tons sold by commercial pro ducers, 27,000 tons distributed by TV A and 444,000 tons distributed by AAA. The increase over 1939 a- mounted to 529,000 tons, with the commercial industry accounting for 234,000 tons of the increase and the Government agencies accounting for the other 295,000 tons. It seems likely that another ton nag increase is in store for next year since tag sale figures for the first four months of 1941 are 9 per cent over. 1940. Distribution of fertilizer by Gov ernment agencies has heen increas ing in quantity in recent years. Ton nage ratio rose from practically nothing in 1935 to 5.66 per cent of total consumption in 1940. The pro portion of plantfood used in 1940 ac counted for by those two agencies was 9.68 per cent, in contrast to the 5.66 per cent, of gross tonnage. HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, MAY 30. 1941 ( TnsiiffimW Cuts Crop Yields Boy Scout Outing Twenty-six members of the Boy Scouts of Hertford Troop No. 155, enjoyed an over-night outing last Thursday when they trooped down to the Leigh Winslow farm six miles from Hertford. The boys were accompanied by Scoutmaster W. H. Pitt and M. G. Owens. Each boy carried his own equipment and food and prepared his own meals. Scoutmaster Pitt related that there "wasn't a stomach-ache" in the crowd after the food had been eaben. ihe boys returned to Hertford Friday morning. Morgan's Furniture Store To Give Away Lawn Sets Shortly W. M. Morgan, Hertford Furniture Man, announced this week that he will give away the two Lawn Sets on display at his store during the month of June. The two people polling the largest number of votes in his store during the month will be awarded the sets. Customers and friends are invited to his store to vote for themselves or for friends. insuriicient use of lime is one of the principal reasons why the yields oi many crops in North Carolina are as low as they are, says Dr. J. F. Lutz, professor of soils at N. C. State College. Practically all soils of the State are acid and are deficient in calcium and magnesium, both of which are supplied by lime. For this reason, it will be necessary to supply these elements Detore growers can expect to increase their crop yields, Dr. Lutz said. Liming results in many benefits. The first benefit usually coming to mind is that of correcting soil acid ity or "sweetening" the soil. Al though this is an important effect, it is no more important than the ac tual supplying of calcium and mag nesium as plant food. Then, too, certain elements which are essential to plant growth be come rather insoluble at certain de grees of acidity and liming is neces sary to make some of these soluble. For example, in strongly acid soils considerable iron and aluminum are present in solution. If phosphate is applied to such soils, it will combine with the iron and aluminum to form an insoluble and unavailable com pound. Under such conditions, the plants cannot get phosphorous. How ever lime is a corrective for this. Many crops such as alfalfa, red clover, and blue grass, are considered lime-loving crops, and it is true that large amounts of lime are necessary for them to produce good growth. On the other hand, lime will benefit practically all other crops, although the response is usually not as great. Since it is necessary to apply lime in proper amounts, a grower should seek the advice of his county agent before applying the material. PAGE THREE FREE!!
