THE riZRQUK'AN: ,ZU, IIE11TF0IID, JN. C. i SUXSCISOOL LESS0I1 BEGINNING OF WORLD MISSIONS International Sunday School for June 8, 1941 LeMoa GOLDEN TEXT: "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation." Mark 16:5. (Lesson Text: Acts 12:25-13; 12.) In our lesson last Sunday, we learned that the new believers in Antioch, hearing of the suffering of their fellow-believers in Jerusalem because of a dire fa'mine which had visited that section, gave generously of their measrer means to alleviate as much as they could the distress of the Jews in the area. Saul and Barnabas were appointed by these Christians to journey to Jerusalem with the funds gathered Very little Is told about the journey or the visit in Jerusalem, which evi dently lasted only a few days. When these two great spiritual leaders re turned to Antioch, they brought with them a kinsman of Barnabas,' John Mark, who was to help them in their work. The work of the early church at Antioch prospered spiritually under the ministrations of Saul and Barna bas, and others, such as Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cy rene. and Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch. It was while thev were thus ministerinsr unto the Lord, that the Holy Spirit ordered the divine appointment of Saul and Barnabas for a particural work pre ordained by God for them. In obedience to the command of the Holy Spirit, and after fasting and prayer, the brethren of the church laid their hands on these two, consecrating them to their special task for the Lord, and sent them away. Basil Matthews says: "Historically, this is the precise moment at which the foreign missionary enterprise ac tually began. The fact that we are Christians ourselves, dates back to the obedience of those men in that little ship. They took the little tree of Christianity and planted it from the cramping flower-pot of Judaism into the soil of humanity of the whole world. It is an apparently tiny act which, in simple fact, when looked at down the perspective of the centuries, is seen to have chang ed the history of the world." Led by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul, accompanied by John Mark, went down to Seluecia, the seaport of Antioch, and from there set sail for the Island of Cyprus. They landed at the port, of iSalamis, on the astern coast of the island and near est to Seluecia. Here they began at once to preach to the great number fcf Jews living there. It is interesting to note that Bar nabas and Saul were not content to Boll Weevil Threat Is Great This Year "Total preparedness" to control the boll weevils is recommended to cotton farmers by J. O. Rowell, Ex tension entomologist of N. C. State College. He reports that large num bers of weevils survived the compara tively mild winter of 1940-41 and emerged from hibernation this spring. There are indications that weevils will be more numerous this year than during any recent year, Rowell says. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U. IS. Department of Agriculture keeps a fairly close check on weevils through the use of hibernation traps. Examining hibernation traps at Florence, S. C, the Federal agency found survival of weevils at the rate of 1,960 per acre, nearly 12 times the number found in 1940. At Tallulah, La., 81 percent of the weevils placed in traps last fall were alive this spring. Where the cotton grower intends to follow a complete control program, Rowell recommends early or pre square poisoning with a liquid mix ture which is applied with mops. He urges, however, that the first appli cation of the poison be delayed until weevils occur in the field at the rate of 80 or more jer acre, or one weevil "Pre -square poison treatment ehould be started just as soon as Squares begin to form," the Exten sion specialist said. "This is usually when the plants are five to six inches high, and before the squares are large enough for the weevils to ponc tare. When the squares have devel oped to a size large enough for the weevils to feed on and lay eggs in, p re-square poison applications should 'cease." ' Rowell says pre-square poisoning alone should not be relied upon to ' U.1 1 A- 1 1 11 I 11- Mo... weevils reach the field after the pre- i iniM Wiann!no nsrinil Tim TUUUMd.

Evident ly Paphos was the capital of the is land because it was the seat of the Roman government on the island and the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, lived there. It is at Paphos that iSaul steps to the forefront and from then on we hear more of him and less of Bar nabas. It was here, too, that Saul takes the Roman name of Paul, rather than the Hebrew name of Saul. At the command of Sergius Paulus, Paul preached so effectively that this Roman official was con verted to a belief in the new faith. It was at Paphos, also, that Paul and Barnabas came into contact with Elymas, a sorcerer, who, realizing the effects of Paulus' conversion on his own teachings, tried in vain to prevent the Roman proconsul from becoming a convert. Condemning Elymas in no uncertain terms, Paul pronounced a curse upon the sorcerer. In a very short while, Elymas be came blind. While the miraculous punishment of Elymas played its part 'in the con version of the Roman official, we should remember that this was not the effective agency. As W. L. Watkinson says: "The miracle had its place as the bellman of the church, but the preacher's message was the secret of salvation. If the miracle had been more surprising tnan the message, Christianity would not have occupied the place that it does todav. The doctrine of Christ is infinitely more convincing than any miracle he ever worked. If the great truths of the gospel do not find us, no sign or specter will avail, The grand appeal of the gospel is not to our wonder, but to our conscience and heart." Farm And Home Week Registration Begins 1Y0OI0.J FDR (uEKJTS r i " it, Km Miss Ruth Current, IState home demonstration agent, announces that registration for the annual Farm and Home Week at N. C. State College 'has begun. She invites Home Dem onstration Club women to make their room reservations at once to insure desirable quarters. Farm and Home Week will be held this year from August 4 to 8. Three thousand or more farm men and women are expected to attend and enjoy an "educational vacation." Miss Current said that room reser vations may be made by sending a $1 fee to Mrs. Nelle Meacham, State College Station, Raleigh. The rooms will be assigned in the order that re quests are received- Miss Current' said that money will be refunded if reservations are cancelled before July 26. The plans for Farm and Home Week are being made by committees, and Miss Current said that sugges tions for the programs will be wel comed by the chairmen of the various committees. They are, as follows: Registration: C. M. Brickhouse, chairman; 0. F. McCrary and F. S. Sloan, all district farm agents of State College. Evening Programs: F. H. Jeter, chairman; J. F. Criswell and Roy H. Park. Program for Men, Morning Pro grams and Tours: J. A. Arey, Exten sion dairy specialist of State College, Merchants of North Carolina have an opportunity to reap the profits from $2,000,000 worth of cotton goods which farmers of the State will re ceive for participating in the U. S. Department of Agriculture's supplemen tary cotton stamp program. Farm people will trade stamps for children's clothing, as pictured above, and other cotton goods from eight general classes of stores. E. Y. Floyd, AAA erecutive officer of N. C. State College, reports that 106,903 of North Carolina's 120,928 cotton farmers are eligible to share in the Supplementary Cotton Stamp Program.

Safety Talks North Carolina pedestrians this year must be using their heads as well as their feet, judging from the records of the Highway Safety Divi sion. Traffic fatality records for the first four months of this year dis close that pedestrians fatalities were one per cent lower than for the same period last year and were 7 per cent lower than the five-year average (1936-1940 inclusive) for the same period. And this in the face of a 46 per cent increase in all traffic fatali ties in this state during the first four months of this year. Ronald Hocutt, director of the safety division, pointed out that 114 of the 349 traffic deaths in North Carolina from January through April were pedestrian deaths. This was 33 per cent of the total. Pedestrian fa talities in recent years have run a round 38 per cent of total traffic fatalities. "The fact that pedestrian deaths have shown a slight drop in the face of a serious increase in the state's traffic toll is no cause for rejoicing," he said. "Entirely too many pedes trians are being- killed on North Car olina streets and highways. "I trust that the figures cited above will not serve to lull any North Carolina pedestrians into a sense of false security. With motor veWcle registrations and gasoline consump tion at peak levels, and with the minds of many motorists preoccupied with current grave national and in ternational matters, the need for vigilance on the part of pedestrians is greater now than ever before. j 1SHOES RE-BUILT.
