VI. Elisha Helps the Needy: A
widow whose two sons were about
to be taken to satisfy a debt, ap-
pealed to Elisha for help She fol-
lowed Elishas directions, and a pot
of oil was increased until all
the vessels she borrowed were fill
ed. Later Elisha miraculously fed
a hundred men.
VII. Amos Pleads for Justice:
The national aspect of justice is
presented in the lamentation over
the fallen virgin of Israel. The So
cial aspect of justice is presented in
the oppression which tramples upon
the poor The moral aspect of JUS
tice is presented in the reformation
which aspires to the higher goal of
the good. The spiritual aspect of
justice is presented in the redemp-
tion which produces righteousness.
VIII. Amos Denounces Self In
diligence: Amos condemned the
easy going luxurious lives Of the
rich, who spent their time largely
in drinking, feasting and reveling;
he predicted that God would raise
up nation that would carry them
captive.
TX. Hosea breaches Gods Love:
Gods love is seen in his providence
which cares for all, in his patience
as expressed in compassion for the
careless, in his promises to be COM
forted, in the privilege of wisdom,
knowledge, righteousness and holi-
ness.
X. Micah Champions the OPP
pressed: God called upon the noun
tains and the hills to hear the con
troversy he had with his people. He
asks what he had done that they
should rebel against him. He pre-
sented the one requirement of JUS
tice and kindness and a humble life.
XII Hezekiah Leads His People

Quarterly review of the Sunday
school lessons for Sunday, Sept. 30:
The third quarter has led us
through a study of prophets and
kings from Ahijah to Isaiah, and
we now pass them before us in re-
view.
l. Ahijah and the Divided King
dom: The prophet Ahijah by means
of symbolic action, made known
to Jeroboam that God would rend
ten tribes from the house of Sol
ONION and give them to him.
II. Asa Relies on God: When
Asa became king he started re-
ligious reformation. He won a
great victory over Zerah the Ethi-
opian, and when returning from the
battle the prophet Azariah met him
and made encouraging promises of
divine help.
III. God Cares for Elijah: After
Elijah told Ahab there would be a
drought, he retired to the brook
Cherith, where he was fed by the
ravens. Later he lived with a
widow and her son. When Jezebel
threatened to kill him he fled to the
southern desert where God provid-
ed him with food and drink.
". Elijah Hears Gods Voice:
On Mount Sinai God manifested
his presence by means of wind
earthquake, and then through a
still small voice. God gave Elijah a
three fold commission and showed
him that conditions were not so bad
as he had supposed
V. Micaiah Speaks the Truth:
Ahab wanted to go to Ramoth-
Gilead to battle, and all the false
prophets told him to go and pros
per. But when Micaiah was called
at Jehoshophat's suggestion, he de-
clared that Ahab would be defeated

About 100000 trees will be re-
quired to plant the various projects
where the local CCC veterans are
re-establishing vegetation on eroded
land October and early November
is considered the best fall planting
season, as young trees will make
a small amount of root growth
which will help prevent frost
heaving during the winter. Projects
planted last season and which now
nave less lldH 10 Ia SuININdl Will
be replanted with locust this fall.
Areas of severe erosion will be
given particular attention in order
to obtain satisfactory stand. Grad
ing and preparation of the gully
banks has been carried along as fast
as the dams were built so that full
time may be given to the planting
during the proper season Gully
banks requiring plowing, dynamit-
ing and hand grading will be left
rough and full of small pockets or
holes which will hold the rainfall
and provide more moisture for the
seeding trees. Wherever available
a mulch of straw. hay Or weeds is
advocated on the severely eroded
areas as a protection against frost
heaving and surface washing of the
loose soil on the recently graded
gully banks.
