A CALL TO RIGHT LIVING

Golden Text: "Whether therefore
ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God." I Cor-
inthians 10:31.
Lesson Text: I Peter 1:13-23; 3:
8-16; 4:1-5.
"When once thou hast turned again,
establish thy brethren," were Jesus'
words to Peter after forecasting his
coining denial (Luke 22131). Estab
lishing the brethren was Peter's ob
ject in writing this letter to Chris
tians in the leading cities of Asia
Minor. It is a letter of advice and a
message of hope, seeking to confirm
them in their faith, to comfort and
encourage them in their trouble and
to advise them as to their conduct,
especially in times of persecution.
There runs through, the first epistle
of Peter the conviction that the
Christian lives a superior kind of life.
The distinctive characteristic of a
Christian is that he has become a new
man and Christ has kindled in him a
living hope. For this reason, hey
strives to live worthily of the great
hope which has copie to him through
Christ and in a spirit of Christian de
votion, he serves God with gladness
and enthusiasm.
Christians today need this ringing
message of encouragement for right
living. In the years of moral decay,
following a great world-wide con
flict, there is the severe temptation
to forsake the lofty plane of Christian
idealism and to conform to worldly
and sinful practices. At such a time
Christians should strive to keep their
minds and hearts pure and to follow
the commands of Jesus.
Peter believes that religion is to be
lived in one's everyday life not put
on a shelf to be dragged out on Eas
ter ar on Christmas Day, or even
once a week on Sunday. His Chris
tian characteristics are those which
'Would make one a good neighbor, a
kindly heart and a generous hand,
peace-loving and tender-hearted and
true. Listen to his words: "Be ye
all of one mind (that is cooperative),
having compassion one of another
(there is a vast need for sympathy
throughout the world today), love as
brethren (ready to promote the inter
ests of others not selfish), be Ditiful
(tender-hearted not hardboiled as
i I . . -11
xe courteous (almost a vanisnea
art).
"Not rjpdering evil for evil, or rail
ing, foryrailing; but contrariwise
blessing; knowing that ye are there
unto called, that ye should inherit a
blessing. (Remember the words of
Jesus, 'Do ye unto others as ye would
that they should do unto you.')"
Disciplined living is necessary for
the achievement of Christian objec
tives, just as disciplined living' is ne
cessary for the success ox the athlete,
the scientist, the doctorr the' chemist,
the musician. There is no place in
the life of a Christian for drunken
ness, violence and lust. By the dis
cipline of obedience to Christ, the
Christian achieves victory over earth
ly weaknesses and temptations.
The test to be applied to any habit
or practice, if one would know the
right . thing to do under any given
situation, is "What would Christ do?
Is this a constructive thing to do? Is
it appropriate for a Christian? Is it
for the glory ofliod?" Paul declares
in our Golden Text, "Whether there
fore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever
ye do, do all to the glory of God." If
this test is applied and can be answer
ed affirmatively, then one has answer
ed the call to right living.
At Home On The Farm
With
The City Cousin
With nearly everyone suffering
from a mild case of "cost-of-living
nerves," it is encouraging to see so
many people coming to the defense
of the farmer.
L. C. Laney, assistant Mecklenburg
County farm agent for the State Col
lege Agricultural Extension Service,
was tellin' me last week:
'Lots of people have been laying
the responsibility for present high
prices on the farmer. But he is be
ing pinched just as much as anyone
else." Then he went on to explain.
Dairy feeds, he said, jumped $17 a
ton in a recent five-weeks period, but
milk prices held their own. Laying
mash, essential for egg production,
is up $10 a ton. Due to ' the world
shortage of grain, wheat and oats are
up $18 a ton, and soybean meal up to
$21.50.
In this respect, farmers who pro
duce such commodities as meat, poul
try products and milk, are also con
sumers, for they often rely heavily
on the selling market for their chick
en and livestock feeds. They must
pay farm labor bills, too, Agent
Laney reasoned, and this cost has in
creased three-fold since before the
war.
According to figures released in
June, prices that farmers have re
ceived for their products have not ad
vanced as rapidly as the income of in
dustrial workers.
So, the way I look at it, our Coun
try Cousins who take all the risks
connected with providing us with food
should be applauded for conscientious
attempts to hold down our cost of
living.

A FORD SEALER
Anniversaries mean we are growing older
but it is a pleasure to grow old as a Ford
dealer. Our years of association with the
Ford Motor "Company have been rich in
memories and friendship, resulting from
close contact with the outstanding Ameri
can of our time Henry Ford.
Through the manufacturing genius of
Mr. Ford we have been privileged to offer
our customers low cost automobile trans
portation and economical service. What
ever business success we have had is
secondary to the opportunity it has given
us to know and become warm business and
personal friends with so many of the people
we have served as a Ford dealer.
COME IN AND SEE US!
We are. celebrating our Ford anniversary
with an "Open House" where we can meet
and greet our friends and customers in a
neighborly way. Please consider this a per
sonal invitation to stop by and see us. We
appreciate your loyalty and patronage
which have built our business and this ia
our way of saying a friendly "thank you".

the endocrine glands. r " 'X
However, there are many over
weights wno habitually over-eat. This
practice adds to their avoirdupois
and shorten their lives. . Overweight
leads to many diseases, such as dia
betes, high blood pressure, etc.
It is natural for some animals to
grow fat in the fall. This is nature's
method of helping them to maintain
body heat during the winter. In ex
tremely cold climates when they are
hibernating, this fat is very slowly
consumed until they come out of their
winter's sleep in tje spring. Fat is
stored up fuel which is not used, but
too much of it adds heavy burdens to
the heart and other organs of the
body.
The overweight can usually reduce
by proper eating. Starches and sug
ars, if eaten to excess, are stored in
the body as fats; for this reason they
are cut to a minimum in the diet of a
patient who is trying to get rid of
excess weight.
Starchy foods create energy, which
is not needed nor used by those tat
ing but little exercise. They are con
verted into fatty tissue by those in
clined to overweight and contribute
to their discomfort. It also renders
them very susceptible to chronic dis
ease. For this reason it is very ne
cessary for the obese to reduce the
weight to as near normal as prac
ticable. The fat person, having stored away
too much starch in the body, should
not continue to eat an over-supply of
such food, but reduce the intake and
allow the body to consume energy in
the over-supply already on hand. He
does this by cutting down his daily in
take of foods, especially fats and
starches.
For example, an overweight per
son who has been eating 2,000 calories
or more a day can get along on less.
He has a great many stored away in
his body that will be burnt up if he
takes in less fuel as food.
One who was eating 2,000 calories
should pat only 1,500, then he will
lose some of his fat by calling on his
reserve deposit. If this goes on from
day to day, the pounds will melt
away in a physiological and natural
manner without causing any damage
to the system, but those who are re
ducing should take a balanced nation.

Sampson and Beaufort follow as close
seconds.' Growers in the1 31 counties
produced, approximately 76,000 bush
els of pure seed oats last year.
Harnett JUounty, with 11 growers,
led the list of those producing cer
tified wheat seed, Sampson, Hbkft
Scotland, Kobeson and Gaston fol
lowed in order.
Certified seed growers throughout
the State have followed recommenda
tions of the N. C. Agricultural "Ex-.
periment Station. They prepared
good seed beds, planted certified
treated seed and seeded on time.
They are familiar with the advant
age of using adequate fertilizer at
seeding time and also the necessity
of top dressing the gram on time.
Wheat varieties" grown by the cer
tified growers were leap, fulcaster,
carala hardired and redhart.
The varieties of oats were letoria,
lee, lemont, stanton, fulgrain and
victor-grain. Sunrise is the most
popular variety of barley, despite its
susceptibility to smut, because of its
high yield and attractive beardless
head.
A list of the certified grain pro
ducers can be procured from the "Ag
