THE EFFECTS OF DOUBT


The first of these texts has the sense
OF a divided mind or opinion, and the
second is a case Of distrust. The
meaning Of these texts is not that
these persons were infidels, but that
they were doubters. The effect, how
ever, is the same. "They could nOf'
mot would mott enter in because of
unbelief." Heb. 3:19.
Doubt is like a corked bottle in the
ocean. All around 1t the waters are
pressing but cannot get into it.. Doubt
is negative. 1t does not nave a posi-
tive tone. 1t is a trumpet with an
uncertain sound. Very often 1t makes
a loud music but il gives no direction
where to go or what to do.
Doubt produces many evil effects.
1t should be noticed that the first text
of IAN evil heart of unbelief.'
This does not mean a vicious heart,
but one on which doubt has produced
ill effects.
IL is remarkable what absurd things
men will believe If uttered in the name
of science, for instance. There are
those who hold the ancient and hoary
idea that there is an eternal conflict
between science and religion. 1t is
the fashion of these people to swallow
without question or doubt anything
that parades in the garb of science,
and to question and doubt any state
ment made in the name of religion.
A speaker at the recent Sunday
School convention at Huron, touching
upon the need of proving things that
could be proved by demonstration, told
Of a professor, who, desiring to test
his class. declared that a vessel filled
completely with water would overflow
If a dead fish was placed in 1t but
would not do so IL a live fish were
placed in it. A young freshman's cur
.iousity was aroused and he determined
to try the experiment and discovered
that 1t was not SO. The others just
accepted the statement because a
learned professor said it.
Someone has said that no man has a
right to doubt or criticize religion I'M
til he has tried 1t. 1t is entirely pos
sible to demonstrate the power and
reality of the gospel of Christ by try
ing ii. A man said TO me one day
christianity is to be tested in the next
twenty-five years" To this / answer
ed, Thank God for that, for just such
a challenge has been going on for
near two thousand years."
Prove me now herewith, said the
Lord" 20 taste~and see that the Lord
is good" Yes. o doubter, there is
nothing the Lord Jesus is o anxi-
ous for you to do than to try him.

gradual effects of doubt is that 1t i'm
pairs the spiritual senses.
Cd 1t impairs our vision.
We often speak of the "eye of faith"
but we would not think of speaking Of
the eye of doubt. Very often we meet
people who are blind, bat we would
not know II by looking at their eyes.
They look very much, or quite like the
ely es of those who have the best of
sight. So the bible speaks of people
who have eyes to see and see not"
What causes this condition? Is it not
unbelief?
Elisha's servant could not see the
forces of Gods protection round about
them at Dothan, until they we're open
ed at the prayer Of the prophet.
"Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his work in vain"
(2) Impaired hearing.
Why did God send the angelic host
past Jerusalem and the representatives
of religion, to the little group OF ig-
norant shepherds. to the
greatest even of the ages? The ans
wer IS given In the attitude OF the
same rulers and religionists, when the
one of whom the angels sang. came
face to face with them in after years.
Their ears were closed by unbelief
and they could not because they would
not, hear. Today, is God passing YOU
and you do not hear his voice? Re-
member that God will not raise his
voice to make you hear against your
will. He speaks with the still small!

hear.
(3) Impaired Feeling.
The cailoused hand cannot have a
fine sense of touch. No more can we
have a fine sense of the divine IL our
emotions are not sensitive to the touch
of God. Doubt makes a c~alloused
heart, and the apostle speaks of the
scared conscience"
(4) Impaired Taste.
Lower tastes and lower standards
are effects of doubt. 1t is one of the
signs of the last days-departure from
faith. Paul, speaking of this condition
says they shall turn unto babies"
They do not want the truth. They are
like children in wanting to be fed on
candy. Doubt has impaired their ap-
petite for the truth in Christ.
At last, doubt drains the spiritual
powers, while making no return OF
strength, leading 10 complete break
down.
Turn to the eleventh chapter of He
brews, o doubter, and read that list
of WORTHLESS. whose faith dissolved the
darkness of doubt, and caused their
example of fidelity to God and righte-
BUSINESS. to make a path of light from
earth TO heaven. for you.

hind and take the trouble to investi-
gate. No one farmer knows all about
agriculture.
e. Specialists Available
The County Agent is not a super
farmer or an expert in many agricul-
tural subjects. It is not the intention
that he should be. The State College
carries a corps of specialists on vari-
Gus subjects who are available to the
counties through the County Farm Blu
reau office, or through Farmers IDsti-
tutes where there is no county organ
ization as provided I'm the Extension
Law.
The Specialists bring a wider ex-
perience than is possible for n in a
single county to possess. They render
great service through practical dem
%onstrations and assist in bringing TO
light the details in various methods
ond practices.
Work Based On Needs Of County
County Agent work is based on the
needs of the County. These are deter
mined by the people in the various
township Or community groups and a
definite program of work is agreed
upon. With TIE assistance of local
leaders IN the various communities
this program is carried to completion
The program of work is the feature OF
Farm Bureau work everywhere. This
is discussed elsewhere in this issue.

Membership Shows Growth From Sew
enty In 1919 TO Over Seven Hun
dred At Present Time

The Hand County Farm Bureau was
organized in the spring of 1919. Mr..
Rosco Pollock, who was at that time
State County Agent Leader, and a
very enthusiastic Form Bureau work.
er, was directly responsible for this
organization. To the original board
of directors consisting Of ]. r. Speirs,
j. M. Magness, b. f. Filbert, Jessie
Moncur and William Morrow, how
ever, must be given due credit, for by
their persistent efforts the Hand
County Farm Bureau as we know it
today, was made possible.
At the time of organization it was
necessary to have fifty members be-
fore our charter could be issued to
US. There was twenty in excess of
the required number secured, making
seventy charter members in bu-
reau. Today we have something over
seven hundred farmers who nav
pledged their support to this organiz-
alton.
The farmers of Hand County should
be duly proud of the Farm Bureau
they have fostered. This county is
purely Agriculture in it's pursuits and
therefore the Farm Bureau is parti-
culariy necessary to us, for it is the
greatest organization that ever exist
cd for the farmer.
The Farm Bureau is builded upon
such sound pr%inripals that it cannot
fail il each farmer gives it his full
measure of moral and financial sup
port.
wonder how many farmers ever
stopped to consider how much the
Farm Bureau saved them in one year?
A prominent farmer and a booster for
the Farm Bureau of an adjoining
county has taken the time to itemiZe
the exact amount saved him by direct
taxation, alone, for the past year and
found the following to be his net saw
ing:
$3.50 90 by defeat of the Nolan Bill.
5 Sc. 90 by defeat of the Sale tax.
5 200 by reduction of Railroad
p rates. 4
5 1900 by reduction of railroad
.. generalization.
5 $50 by defeat of transportation
Bill.
$280.S0 Total Annual Saving. How
is that or a $500 investment? IL you
doubt this report, get a copy of the
bills I have just mentioned and figure
out your W personal saving, 1t may
be a little less but is more likely to
Re a great deal more. Investigate
for yourself and you will agree that
the Farm Bureau has paid. big divi-
bends in a financial way to the farm
ers last year in helping defeat these
bills.
What was done last year will be
true of next year, only enlarged to
the extent of your individual cooper
elton and support. Don't you feel it
worth your while to back such an
organization? Doesn't it seem TO you
to be a paying proposition? If you
do believe this as the railroad man,
the miner, the carpenter, the hod car
rier and even the banker, who find 1t
necessary to their best interests to
practice cooperation. then back it.

Vario-coupler

To make a vario-coupler for a re-
generative receiving set. get two
cardboard tubes.
One. used for h primary, should
be four inches long and about 81
inches In diameter. The other, used
for the secondary, should be small
enough to turn inside the primary.
Give the two tubes three coats of
shellac and place in a moderately
hot over for shrinking.
For the primary tube get No. 22
or No. "a cotton covered wire AMI
start winding about half an inch
from the end. Wind on for so turns,
tapping off every ter turns.
These taps-off should run to
small contacts of a tuning switch
which give different variations OF
wave lengths. The aerial Is con-
nected to one free end and the
ground is connected to the rotary
lever OF the tuning switch.
Wind the secondary with the
same kind of wire. But make only
IS turns. Since the secondary coil
must rotate for tuning. the ends
1~80-degree turn.
These ends are brought to two
binding posts mounted through the
primary tube.
The secondary Is mounted on a
brass shaft held in place by two
holes in the primary tube. Care
must be exercised that these holes
line UP properly, for the secondary
must rotate evenly.
A hard rubber or bakelite knob is
placed on the brass shaft so that
the secondary may be varied.

Be sureathe tubes are shrunk be-
fore you begin winding. otherwise
they will shrink after the winding
and all the work will have to be
done over.
The closer the secondary coil
comes to the primary, the more eff
cient will be the coupler. But they
must not touch.
