ahni1t---A FEARFUL THING
1t is fearful thing to fall into The
hands Of The Living God."- Heb ll:3l.

What Does God use His hand in any other way
than to bless?
Yes, he does, but the man who falls into Gods
hands gets there involuntary. suddenly and awfuy.
Think of man who has all his life long resisted
the pleading hands of Jesus Chist; think of who
has herd Him say, Come unto me all We that are
weary and heavy laden and will give you rest''
and has refused to come; think of who has
the hands of Jesus Christ with the nail prints in them
outstreched for his salvation. actually turning away
form those bruised and bleeding palms that were
wounded for his transgressions Of him spurnng
them with contempt or perhaps only turning away
from them with Indifference.
Then think of that suddenly falling into those
very hands Can anything more fearful be imagined?
Would not the very love that led God accept those
wouds for his sake fairly scorch the soul of the
who thus fell into those hands? believe that hel
would be the ready choice of any man situated
that hell becomes the acknowledged proof of the love
of God for such Truly it is the fearful thing to
fall into the hands of the Living God
But there is no need of it. for who accepts the
beckoning of the outstreched hand of mercy will
fall into the hands OF judgement God help you. to
come and take the wounded hand of Jesus now.

7. F. PECK TELLS HOW TO
CONSERVE MOISTURE
IN The SOIL.
Don't Be In a Hurry To Lay
By Your Crops.

Nearly one.half of the year
1922 is past and is history. We
have had practically 25 inches Of
rainfall to date Our average
rainfall is H.25 inches annually.
The rainfall has been 80 distri-
buted as to keep the ground too
wet for working a great part Of
the time.
We may expect dry season
during the cultivating period
and during August. So it be-
hooves us to be prepared for it
by getting a dust mulch on our
land in crops and maintaining il.
By doing this we can conserve
moister in the soils for our crops.
If we have properly prepared
our soils before planting, thor
ough shallow cultivation at fire.
quent intervals will serve the
purpose. Conserve the moisture
and kill the weeds as soon as
they germinate and prevent
them crowding the crops we are
growing or taking up the plant
food that the growing crops
can utilize.
Do not be in too big q hurry
to lay by your crops" because
the surface the surface should
be kept stirred to preserve the
dust mulch through the dry per-
riod we usually have during
August. 1t is claimed that 81
per cent of the weight Of our
crops comes from the air and
water and 3 per cent from the
soil proper. SO we should not
take any chances on not conserv-
ing the moisture in the soil.
i heard the statement made
by speaker as to the part
water played in the growth Of
crops, and a farmer in the audi
ence said, Il have spent thous-
ands Of dollars in draining my
swamp lands, and according to
your statement | have wasted
my money" The speaker OK.
planned to him that his land
needed drainage, that the water
was dead, inactive. and had
J soured the land so it could not
produce crops. We must have
drainage to avoid dead water.
and we must have humus in the
soil to make it porous, 80 the Dir
and water can penetrate it.
The dust mulch prevents
evaporation. If we hayes q deep
soil well supplied with vegetable
matter. we can conserve more
: moisture than with a thin layer.
The subsoil is not porous.
When we have heavy downpours
of rain, if our ground is broken
shallow, the loose surface soil
: gets overloaded with water and
, sloughs off. leaving the subeoil
bare; while if the gr. uni red
. been broken deep and ves e.abIe
] matter turned under. the soil
) would have taken up the water
and prevented the land from
washing.
For the present seasons all we
can do is to provide the dust
mulch and keep it stirred. But
as fast as we can we should
break deeper. increase the vege.
; table matter in the soil. It pays
in many ways With our soil in
proper condition with constant
/. stirring. we have little to fear
from the dry seasons we have
to contend with in this State,

What The Rehabilitation
Training Is Doing.

What is rehabilitation training? ?
The specific facts of an actural
care best answer this question.
Mr.. c. j., who is now thir-
ty-one years Of age. fell from a
train. in 1912, resulting in the
amputation of his right leg
above the knee. His prinsipal
civil occupation had been that
of an iron molder, but, on ac-
count of his severe physical in J.
jnry, he was unable to return to
that occupation After drift
ing about somewhat for several
years doing odd jobs. his case
was brought to the attention of
the State Director of Civilian
Rehabilitation. After a person.
al interview and a real heart.to-
heart talk. it was found that
CD was Interested in print
ing Although he had never had
any experience in this line of
work, arrangements made
with a large printing concern in
Knoxville, whereby c. j. was
placed with this firm for practi-
cal training as a printer. After
a try-out period of a few days.
the foreman found that c. j.
had considerable ability and,
what is more important, a real
desire to learn a suitable trade.
Accordingly he was placed in
the transferring room Of the
photographic department, where
he is now being successfully
trained in lithography.
The following extract Of the
foreman's letter indicates clearly
how c.. j. is progressing in his
training.
&C. j. CONT n ues to get
splendidly. Here is one instance
where your department has
rendered a most valuable service
to a fellow who is anxious to
take advantage of the opportu-
mites offored, and l am sure that
in course of time he is going to
prove a most valuable man and
will be able to earn a good live
Hhood."
Within a year, c. j. will be
trained sufficiently for an accu-
patton that will enable him to be
entirely self.supporting. In fact
there is no reason for his not
earning just as much as a
ithographer who has not sus
tanned the loss Of a leg.
At the the present time, one
hundred and twelve disabled cit
izens of Tennessee are taking
suitable courses of rehabilitation
training. Of the one hundred
and twelve trainees, seventy.four
are white men, thirty-fve are
white women. and three are
negro men. The training is
being given in approved schools
in shops, factories. upon farms,
and in other industrial establihs.
anents.
The physical disabilities of the
one hundred and twelve trainees
are as follows: Fifteen have
sustained the amputation of
either an arm or leg; sixteen are
crippled as result of infantile
paralysis (most of these dis
abled persons use crutches) !;
one has a fractured hip; three
have sustained spinal injuries,
and three are deaf; seventy are
blind and are being trained in
Revised PraiGe and industrial
subjects such as. rug weaving
knitting. sewing. candy making.
broom making. and chair Gaming.
Those who are not blind
are being trained in the
the following courses: agricul-
.ure bookkeeping. typewrit,ng.
