Arrival of Chilean nitrate of soda
in American ports is a matter of keen
interest to farmers today. Because
of the importance of soda in food
production, and because of the mag
nitude of the food production require
ments this year, many inquiries are
being made as to how much natural
soda will be .available.
J. A. Woods, president of Chilean i
Nitrate Sales Corporation in a recent!
report, explained that, for the cur- Following the transfiguration Jesus

tions have been concluded for the!into Galilee, using the less-traveled
purchase of 700,000 tons of Chilean I highways because of the activity of
Nitrate, toth an option for the pur
chase of additional 300,000 tons.
Ships to bring the titrate from Chile
are the big problem. Cargoes are
arriving, however, and it is believed
that enough natural soda will be
available to farmers to meet essen
tial needs.
In the war years of 1941-42 and
1942-43 about 1,600,000 tons of natu
ral Nitrate came in and about 1,000,
000 tons went to American farms in
1942-43. While in the first world
war Chilean Nitrate was used largely
in the manufacture of munitions, in
this war the great bulk of nitrate re
ceived has been put to its most nat
ural and valuable use, the produc
tion of food and feed.
Mr. Woods points out in the re-
port that the nitrate industry in
Chile is a large buyer of U. S. pro
ducts, an average- of more than $350,-
000 per month was expended during
the first two war years for essential
supplies such as machinery, parts,
and other materials.

WILLOW RUN NOW LARGEST
SUPPLIER OF B-24 BOMBERS
Willow Run has passed its fourth
consecutive month of ahead-of -schedule
production, it was announced to
day by Ford Motor Company officials.
The big plant on the outskirts of
Detroit, once the target of criticism
from some government representatives
and aircraft industry officials who
disagreed with Ford's theory of mass
production, today is the largest sup
plier of four-motored B-24 bombers
for the Army Air Forces.
"We are now producing several
hundred bombers a month," Ford of
ficials said, "And we are nearing our
projected peak."
In November we announced that
we had flown away more than 1,000
bombers from Willow Run and that
a considerable additional number had
been shipped in knocked-down form
for final assembly elsewhere. 1 Ob
viously these figures have been sur
passed now. The second thousand
has come along much faster than the
first and a third thousand is on the
way."
The tempo of production at Willow
Run rose rapidly in 1943, Ford offi
cials pointed out. There were five
times as many B-24's delivered from
the plant during the last quarter of
the year as were delivered during the
first quarter.
Announcement

pickles are requested to, write Box 86, Winfall, N. C,

SUNDAY SCHOOL
TRUE GREATNESS
International Sunday School Lesson
for February 20, 1944
GOLDEN TEXT: "The Son of
man also 'came not to be minis
tered unto, but to minster, and
to give his life a ransom for
many." Mark 10:46.
(Lesson Text: Mark 9:33-39;
10:13-16, 42-45).
his enemies. On the journey, just
before reaching Capernaum, the dis
ciples had argued with themselves as
to who was the greatest of their
group.
One can imagine the trend of the
discussion. Either Peter, James or
John could point with pride to mem
bership in the select and inner group,
which had just witnessed the great
scene on Mount Hermon. Peter
could point to his avowal of the div
inity of Jesus and the commenda
tion which he received. Each . one
had, in all probability, intimate ex
periences with the Master and had
been actively contributing time and
effort to his mission. It is human
and natural for one to view his own
efforts more importantly than others.
So, in all likelihood the argument as
to greatness was prolonged and per
haps, envious.
However, when Jesus asked them
about their "reasoning , on the way"
there was none who had the effrontry
to openly admit so presumptious a
claim. They held their peace, but
Jesus knew what had been in their
minds. The disciples still expected
their leader to be a great earthly
ruler and they were close enough to
trie earth to desire exaltation I and
rank in the coming regime. Solemn
ly calling them into conference, Jesus
sought to correct their viewpoint, be
ginning with the sentence: :"If any
man would be first, he shall be last
of all, and servant of all."
"Whosoever will be great among
you, shall be great by being your ser
vant; and if there be any yet more
ambitious and desirous to be chief
leader, then he must be your slave,"
says Henry Ward Beecher. "All the
great rulers of this world stand above
glorying in their wisdom and
strength and power, and look down
on men. If you would become the
great ruler, you must go as. Christ is'
going, to the bottom of human life,!
and work up from the lowest toward
the highest, from weakness toward
strength. God identified Himself,
not with crowns, not with scepters,'
not with thrones, not with opportu
nities, not with all that man admires
and seeks."
Selfishness and self-seeking lie
back of many of the world's mis
fortunes. If the Christian faith
could succeed in eradicating these
ambitions and desires and replace
them with a desire for service, it
would solve the great problems con
fronting humanity. The only way to
accomplish this is by substituting in
its stead the acceptance of the philos
ophy of life taught and practiced by
Jesus, recognizing that doing good
to others is the certain way to great
ness and happiness. Too many peo
ple cannot believe this and a large
portion of those who do have insuffi
cient strength of purpose to .live ac
cordingly. The Apostle John told Jesus how
he had seen another cast out demons
and had forbidden him "because he
followed not us."' This gave Jesus
an opportunity to rebuke intolerance.
The incident also shows that the in
fluence of Jesus had extended be

yond his immediate drale. It teaches
us that one may approach God by a
different avenue than our own and
yet be working in His name tad for
His cause. Jesus explained to his
disciples that no one could be doing
his work in his name and yet be
against him. '
"In spite of this rebuke and repu
diation of our Lord, the hearts of
many of his disciples in every age
have been filled with this narrow and
intolerant spirit,'' says J. D. Jones,
"It developed into the faggot and, the
fire. It substituted, as Hugh M.
Black says, the doctrine of the stake
for the doctrine of the cross. It set
up the inquisition in Spain. It kindl
ed the fires in Smithfield. It drove
the Pilgrim Fathers across the seas;
it silenced Richard Baxter; it flung
John Bunyan for twelve years into
Bedford jail; it drove John Wesley
from the pulpit to the fields.
"And what abeut today? Alas, the
same spirit prevails. You can trace
much of the strife and consequent
weakness and shame of Christ's
Church back to it We are all of us
too far prone to think our way is,
the only way. When we think not
of our Church, but of Christ, and of
Christ's Kingdom, we see that those
who belong to other communions,
and who worship and work in differ
ent ways from ours are not against
us, but for us. There is nothing we
need more than the increase of the
spirit of brotherhood, and frank and
unreserved recognition of our deep
