GOLDEN TEXT: "Pure re
ligion and undefiled before our
God and Father is this, to visit
the fatherless and. widows in
their affliction, and to kefp one's
self unspotted from the world."
James 1:27.
(Lesson Text: James 1:17-22; 2:4-17;
4.13-17; 5:12.)
There is so much in the Scripture
references given for our considera
tion this week, that we simply can
not go into detail about James, the
author of the epistle from which our
lesson is taken. However, we would
call your attention to the fact that
the epistle written by James was
probably he first of the New Testa
ment writings, being written between
A. D. 45 and A. D. 61. The theme of
the letter is practical righteousness
something which needs to be more
generally stressed in these days in
which we live.
A careful reading of the short
epistle of James will reveal a strik
ing similarity to Jesus' Sermon on
the Mount (Matt. 5 to 7), James
also emphasizes the important rela
tionship which exists between hear
ing and doing. Jesus said that the
wise man follows hearing with doing,
but the foolish man is he who fails
to practice the truth he hears (Matt
7:27). In other words, the real
Christian should practice what he
professes.
James outlines some of the things
which Christians should practice:
(1) Gratitude realizing that "Every
good gift and every perfect gift is
from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom
there is no variableness, neither
shadows or turning." (2) Kind
speech. We should keep our ears
open always, but should keep our
mouths closed except when we have
something worthwhile to say. He ad
vises one to be "slow to anger" in
other words, exercise self-controi,
realizing that one of the hardest
members to control is our tongue.
(3) Purity keeping one's mind free
of filthy thoughts and one's tongue
clean of dirty jokes and stories. How
our modern society needs such an
exhortation.
While some people think that the
teachings of Paul and James con
cerning faith clash, we do not agree.
Paul thought that faith alone in
Jesus Christ was necessary for sal
vation.,'' Nothing that James teaches
contradicts Paul's teaching. James
merely states his belief that true
faith in Jesus would be followed by
a new life and that new life would

be productive of the necessary ac
tion good works. . Someone has said
that "Faith" and "Works" are like
spiritual Siamese twins. You cannot
separate one from the other. Ideals
not put into practice soon die.
Mere good wishes never helped a
destitute person. We cannot, as
James declared, feed the hungry and
clothe the naked merely by talking
about it or wishing for it. If we are
sincerely interested in the plight of
the unfortunate about us, we, as real
Christians, will wo something about
it
James' emphasis is upon deeds
The real Christian will see to it that
hearing . results in deeds; faith re
sults in deeds; and knowledge results
in deeds. For, "to him that knoweth
to do good and doeth it not, to him it
is sin." (James 4:17).
While some of us fail to realize it,
there are two kinds of sins. There
are the sins of commission, which we
all admit and for which we beg for
giveness. But there are also the
sins of omission those things which
we have, left undone which we know
we should have done. Some of us
loudly boast of the negative side of
our religion sins that we do not
commit but, if we would examine
our hearts, we should be forced to
admit that we are great sinners in
leaving undone so many things we
know we ought to have done.
If we know that we should atteno
the church services but do not, we
are guilty of sinning. If we know
that we should win the lost to Christ
but do not, we sin. If we know we
should visit the sick, read God's
word, live a positive Christian life,
but do not, we sin.
Jesus declared, as recorded by
Luke in Chapter 6, verse 46, "Why
call ye me Lord, Lord, and do noe
the things which I say?" True
faith in Jesus Christ will be follow
ed by sincere attempts to live as He
lived and do as He did.
Lespedeza Seed
Must Be Clean
D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the
Commissioner of Agriculture, today
issued a warning to North Carolina
lespedeza growers urging that they
"take immediate steps" to rid their
fields of dodder, "a noxious weed,"
in order to obtain maximum value
for their 1941 seed crop.
"Every possible measure should be
taken to eradicate this costly weed
in the lespedeza fields of North
Carolina," he emphasized, explaining
that new "regulations approved by
the State Board of Agriculture pro
hibit sale of lespedeza seed contain
ing more than 2,500 dodder per
pound and further provide that seed
sold containing more than 500 dodder

TWO KINDS OF SECURITY .,
Every day we hear of more
city-bred business and profes
sional men buying farms. Most of
them look upon these purchases
as investment in future security,
and they have
found sound rea
sons behind theii
thinking.
Bricks and
mortar, and ma
chines and faci
tories and stores
Jmi J are by their very
I , 1 nature bound to
.Jl I disappear in
time. They are
subject to con
Kyes
stant changes
which affect their real worth. Bui
the land does not change, if it re
ceives reasonable care. An invest
ment in a good farm is a perma
nent investment. Its dollar value
may vary from year to year, but
it still remains the same farm,
ready to produce the vital neces
sity food.
The land offers two kinds of
security. The first is simple and
elemental merely something to
eat. Any man with hands and
feet and energy can raise enough
food for himself end his family.
That's basic security, reduced to
its lowest terms.
The broader kind of security
offered by the land is protection
for a way of living a fuller kind
of life than mere subsistence.
The tanner who Is a good nia
ager can always Hod cash maxS
ket tor something that ha crows,
and from it secure the money to
buy the things he cannot raise
himself.
To earn that kind of security
to live what we have come to
look upon as the American way
of living this one sound principle
should never be overlooked; plan
vour crop before yon plant it.
Another way of stating that im
portant fact is "raise a crop that
will sell, instead of selling thei
crop you raise."
When you get right down to
bed rock in thinking, all the talk
we have listened to about starva
tion farm prices has its beginning
with the farmer itself.
We are overproduced on wheat
and corn and cotton, largely be
cause too many farmers haven't
learned to plan before they plant.
What would you think,- for ex-r
ample, of a manufacturer of au
tomobiles who persisted in .build
ing 25 percent more cars than
his .market would absorb. Just
because he had facilities for mak
ing 100 cars a day, would he, be
wise to build that many, knowing
that he could only sell 75 a day?
We would accuse such a manu
facturer of being a poor planner,
a poor manager, no matter how
good his product.
Yet that's the very kind of thing
our farmers have been doing for
a generation. It is one of the
basic things we must some day
correct to achieve real agricul
tural prosperity. Some day agri
culture will be operated, not on
a theory of scarcity or a theory
of surplus, but on a plan of pro
ducing enough. -Perhaps agricul
ture today is too big and too scat
tered to plan as carefully as that,
but the individual farmer can plan
that way.
The man who gauges his pro
duction by what he can use, plus
what he can sell, will make
money out of farming. He will
earn that security we like to talk
about, but that so few of us evei
per pound must be labeled with a red
tag."
Previously the Board permitted
the sale of 'lespedeza containing
5,000 dodder per pound and allowed
sales of lespedeza to be made con
taining as many as l.CCO dodder per
pound without being labeled with a
red tag. Thus, the new regulations
reduce tolerances by 50 per cent.
"North Carolina has an excellent
opportunity to build a national repu
tation for quality lespedeza seed and
the reduction of dodder tolerances
allowed will enable farmers to con
tinue a good reputation and build a
better one," Coltrane asserted.
"Some farmers have been selling
their neighbors "and others uncleaned
or poorly cleaned seed containing a
high content of dodder and weed
seed. It has reached the point, in
many instances, where seed were not
satisfactory for seeding purposes
and ample regulations had to be a
dopted that were agronomically and
economically sound."
