London, Jr. on Sunday
November 19, 1972 at 1 : 30 p. m,

worker in our community. His

Crop Outlook Stable
October conditions continued
favorableforTarHeel crops and
on November 1 the outlook
remained stable for all crops
except peanuts.
The N.C. Crop Reporting
Service said a big peanut crop is
in the making, but yield
prospects are down slightly
from the October 1 forecast. An
average yield of 2600 pounds per
acre. is indicated, down 100
pounds from last month. Based
on this yield a near record 434
million pounds of nuts should be
harvested by N.C. peanut
farmers. If realized, this
production would be exceeded
only by the 446 million pounds
produced in 1970. Harvest'of the
crop continues to lag behind
normal, by the end of October
about two-thirds of the crop had
been combined.
The flue-cured tobacco
outlook across the State
remained unchanged from the
651 million pounds indicated by
the October 1 forecast. This
poundage is about 62 million
short of the 1971 crop and the
second smallest since the
acreage-poundage program
started in 1965. Burley
production is forecast at nearly
18 million pounds, a 23 per cent
increase over last year.
Crop Reporting officials said
corn farmers should harvest a
record crop of 107,200,000
bushels. This year's crop is the
largest corn produced in the
State since Tar Heel farmers
grew404,965,000 bushels in 1967.
Yield is expected to average 80
bushels per acre compared to

When the big wheel turns clockwise, the little wheel turns counter
clockwise at a greater rate of speed. Thus man controls energy in the
physical universe, determining, according to his own will, its direction
and effect.
There is a spiritual universe, too. A world in which God, who gave
us freedom of will, provides' the guidance, help, and inspiration which unite
our minds with His for purposes which are GOOD.
We realize with trembling in this nuclear age that the physical and
spiritual universe are not two but ONE. We cannot live in the one and
forget the other. For the world we know will perish unless man's spiritual
vision governs his use of the energy he controls. ,
Wise and reverent minds have always known this. That is why we
have CHURCHES . . . why we share their Life and Work with one another.

LIVING ON THE BRINK . v
International Sunday School Lesson for November 19, 1972
LESSON TEXT: 2 Kings 14:8-14; Psalms33:13-17;
v Isalah31; Jeremiah 21; 27; 2Peter3:8-13. '
Ina century that has brought about two major wars and the
always imminent threat of a third ; in a decade that contained
(and still contains) actions such as Korea and Vietnam, the
thinking Christian cannot help but be struck by the terrible'
cost of such activities in money and (more importantly)
human lives. How are we to face these things, and reconcile
them with our Christian beliefs?
These are critical times, indeed, and the attitude of the
masses is a composite of the attitude of the individual! It '
therefore behooves Christians the world over to stand still
. and take stock of the world in which we live!
There is no single event, no single experience, which can
befall humanity, for which an answer cannot be found in the
teachings of Christ.
Let us, therefore, study our Biblical passages for today,
and pray for guidance as we live out our allotted span of three -score
years and ten!
Psalm 33 : 13-17 holds, perhaps, the keynote in this regard. . .
Opening with a call to praise of the Lord, the Psalm con-.
tinues, magnifying the Lord for His creative works. It then
goes on to contemplate God at work in the history of man. He
is the ' i observer of all human; He sees what is in the
heart of man, and He acts accordingly, in His own due time.
And, according to what He sees, He frustrates or prospers
man's activities. v .
If we are In any doubt of this, let us look at the outcome of . -4
the wars in our own day and time. Aggressor nations have
seemed to prosper-temporarily. But their ultimate fate is
' sealed. The atrocities of war do not go unrecognized...or
unpunished! To recall a recent Instance, many of us have '
lived, somehow, through the terror and heartbreak of World
War n. God truly works through history to bring to book even ,
the proudest and most arrogant 1
The true might of any nation lies solely in its spiritual fibre. '
National alliances alone are not the answer. Judah turned to
Egypt for help-when she' should have turned to God-and by
this decision she sealed her own fate. It was only when she .
repented of her sins that the judgment of God was lifted from
.''Judah. :' '
Therein should be a lesson for us, as a nation, today. Strife
is everywhere, as is unrest. The finest flowering of our youth-. '
-the leaders of our tomorrows, as a nation-squander their .
gifts in drug abuse and the practice of the "new morality". ,
Could we possibly be regressing to the standards that'
brought God's judgments upon His people those many cen
turies ago? The thought is frightening! .
We desperately need to pause and take stock of our present
situation; and then we need to DO something constructive; -about
itl We need to experience spiritual renewal...opening
' our hearts and minds to God, and inviting Him to take His
rightful place in our lives!'
Difficult and dan erous times such as ours are a challenge .
to the believing Christian. They should call forth the best that
Is in us, and our deepest sincerity. For if, as Christians, we
1 sincerely believe that the best is yet before us-that heavenly -life
is more lasting and rewarding than the earthly life-we -have
a tremendous task before us. And the sooner we get.
'; started, the better!
Only in service can we function effectively aS Christian' ..
,' believers; only in service can we feel secure in the knowledge
that God Is truly on our side!
