- GOLDEN TEXT: "For other
foundation can no man lay than
that which is laid, which is Jesus
Christ" I Cor. 3:11.
(Lesson Text i I Cor. 3:1-15)
For the past three months, we
have been studying the early
church.1 its formation and progress,
in order to somehow learn the secret
of its marvelous power and success
so that we, as Christians and church
members, might apply the informa
tion gained to making ourselves and
our church better and more useful,
under the leadership of the Holy
Spirit
Th first twelve lessons might have
been in the form of a diagnosis and
now that we have learned the secret
we want to apply the lessons to our
selves, in the lesson for this week.
In the scripture given for our
consideration, we find that Paul
found it necessary, after establishing
a strong church at Corinth and leav
ing it to preach the gospel elsewhere,
to write a strong letter to the Corin
thian Christians to correct some of
the evils which had arisen in the
newly-founded church.
While very unfortunate, factions
in churches are not modern develop
ments. Even from the beginning, it
seems, there were members who
could not peacefully and gracefully
'get along with their fellow-members.
In the church at Corinth there arose
four factions, a Pauline party, over
zealous for Paul, the founder of the
church; an Apollonian party, appar
ently bewitched by the oratory of
Apollos; a Peterine party, named for
Peter, which insisted on mixing np
Jewish ideas with Christianity; and
a Christ party, which, because it
could not, or would not, get along
with the others, became itself a
party.
Paul began his letter to the Corin
thian church members by praising
their many admirable qualities. He
gave credit where credit was due,
which is a good thing for anyone who
has the task of administering discip
line to remember. However, after he
had given them credit for the things
which deserved commendation, he
very strongly, but tactfully admon
ished them, calling attention to their
worldliness which existed in the
church, the immaturity of the church
members, their imperfections, and
condemning the partisan divisions.
It seems to us, after thinking
about churches as a whole, that we
might say, in all kindness, that most
churches deserve the same condem
nation which Paul gave to the Corinth
church. When Paul speaks of the
"carnal" nature of these early Chris
tians, he meant that they were world
ly instead of being spiritually
minded. Paul's criticism that the Corin
thians were apparently content to re
main "babes in Christ," certainly ap
plies to a majority of Christians to
day. Few there are who make any
effort whatever to "grow in grace"
they are satisfied to remain unde
veloped dwarfs as far as their spirit
ual nature is concerned. While the
Bible continues to be the best-selling
book in the world, there is little evi
dence that it is studied by many.
Never, perhaps, in the history of the
Christian church, have there been as
many facilities open to those whi
Farmers Still Have
Equity In Stored
Loan Cotton
Farmers who stored cotton under
government loan in 1938, 1939 or
1940 still hold an equity on cotton
which has been kept in storage and
they may stand to receive more than
the original loan for the cotton, it is
announced by G. Tom Scott of John
ston County, Chairman of the State
AAA Committee.
Prevailing market prices now are
several cents a pound higher than
the loan rates for any of the past
three years, and if the Commodity
Credit Corporation, holder of the loan
cotton, should find it necessary to
market some of the stored lint to
keep domestic prices from rising too
high, farmers who stored the cotton
on loan would share in the proceeds
of the sale on the basis of the dif
ference between the sale price and
the original loan.
would avail themselves of spiritual
development, but all too few avail
themselves of the opportunities of
fered.
Paul urged the Corinthians to real
ize that they were "workers together
with God," even as you and I. A full
realization of this fact on the part ol
every Christian would make a vast
difference in the individual life and
in the service he renders. To the
Christian, it is given to be a co
worker with God in redeeming the
World, in lifting men from sin, In
leading them to Christ whose trans
forming power can make the vilest
sinners into "gentlemen in the high
nobility of God."
The Grandest Man
Although a bit late, we pause to
bring a thought of Fathers Day,
One of The Weekly's readers has sup
plied us with a letter which we be
lieve is highly representative of the
feeling one should have toward one's
father, and even though Fathers
Day receives small recognition, as
compared to other events celebrated
during the course of the year, we
pass this letter on for thought on the
subject:
"Dearest Dad:
"Here's hoping that this Father's
Day will be the happiest you have
ever spent. I wish I could be with
you but since world events prevent
that, I will be thinking of you and
thanking God for giving me the best
man I have ever known for my
father.
"I am indebted for so many things
that you have given me at great per
sonal sacrifice on your part that I
hardly know where to begin to thank
you for all of it.
"First, I want to thank you for the
name you have given me. I had
rather carry your name . . . than any
other name I have ever heard. It
means much to me to know that that
name carries with it respect, love,
and honor. I can truthfully say that
you have never disillusioned me or
disappointed me in any manner.
What higher compliment can a son
pay to his father than that?
"As an elderly man told me when
I was last home, "There's no better
thought of man in . . . County than
your father.' I hope I can follow in
your footsteps so that the same
statement can be made about your
son.
"I am especially thankful for the
manner in which you handled 7our
position when the store went bank
rupt because now no one can dare
say anything against your honesty.
I am still prouder of the way you
went back to work for some one else
and the way you are working now.
It must be quite hard to do that
when you once were your own boss
and in a large business and yet it
has given you another chance which
you have used to show your son what
a real man 70U are.
"I also want to thank you for giv
ing me a fine education and helping
me in everything I try to do. I am
glad that you have made our home
the best in town and a place where
all my friends love to come.
"Since you have done all this for
me, I can only repay you by promis
ing to always live so that people will
say . . . 'was as much like his father
in every respect as he looked like his
father.'
"Love from your son."
Fast Hatching
Add this one - to your stories of
fast production.
Fred Chalf found some bird eggs
last week and knowing that R. M.
Riddick had recently undertaken a
project of raising quail, which he re
ports will soon be going in a big way,
Mir. Chalk brought the eggs to Mr.
Riddick.
After close inspection it was found
that the eggs were fertile, so they
were placed under a setting hen on
Friday and the young quail hatched
out Saturday.
These young birds have been plac
ed in with the others of Mr. Riddick's
flock.

Modern Kerosene
Ranges Transform
Rural Kitchens
Many of us have only to look back
a few years into, the homes of our
childhood to see our mother toiling
away in the kitchen preparing a feast
for the family. Well can we remem
ber the enjoyment she seemed to get
from cooking a meal for a house full
of guests. Looking back on the
kitchen equipment which our mothers
had in those days and comparing it
with that available today, we wonder
how she ever derived any enjoyment
out of the work necessary with the
cumbersome equipment and the many
inconveniences involved.
Despite the fact that they are lo
cated far from electrical power lines
or piped fuels, the rural housewife
now has at her control most of the
modern facilities found in her some
what more fortunate city sister's
kitchens. Most important of these
from a health and labor-saving stand
point is the range she uses for cook
ing. Kerosene has become the most
popular fuel for rural use. This is
due largely to the general availabil
ity of kerosene and the fact that
manufacturers have brought out a
line of beautiful, streamlined kero
sene ranees. Ihese ranges are so
modern in design and efficient in per
formance that they are difficult to
distinguish from the modern gas or
electric range.
The modern kerosene range with
fully enclosed burners and fuel tanks
brings new cooking experiences to
the rural housewife. Even those fa
miliar with kerosene range perform
ance are amazed at the intense heat
furnished by the highly improved
burners, either long or short chimney
type. Glass wool insulated ovens
capture this heat and turn out pies
and cakes in hitherto undreamed per
fection. Thus the emancipation of the rural
housewife starts in the kitchen,
where it is most likely to effect her
entire family. iShe spends less time
over a hot stove; the meals she cooks
in shorter time are more wholesome,
more delicious; her kerosene range is
beautiful, modern, streamlined; and
she has more leosure time to spend
with her family.
