Erosion CcntrCl Service In County
To BE Expanded

(By j. r. BenjaminD
Under the present set-up of the
work done by Camp Morgan, their
work is restricted to gully control
However, word is expected daily to
expand the work to include strip
cropping and terracing. Terracing
is an expansion of the strip crop
ping idea to the point where def
mite broad, shallow bitches are run
around the hills on the contours to
hold water and prevent washing
In strip cropping each furrow serves
as a small terrace, if the cultiva-
tion is carried on only around the
strips and not across them. In ter
racing, the bitches are constructed
at various distances, depending on
the steepness of the slope, and the
ditch banks are made wide enough
and low enough that they do not
interfere with the operation of farm
machinery
Until the time comes when the
"erosioneers' of the camp can take
up this work every landowner who
is cultivating hilly soil should try
to keep his fertile top-soil from
washing Off The average person
does not know that from 10 to 40
tons of topsoil are washed off the
average cultivated field every year
in this county. With this soil goes
large quantities of plant food. even
more than is consumed by the
growing crops. Commercial fer
tilizers are wasted by being washed
off. No farmer can prosper when
this continual robbery is taking
place.
Fields that fit into the farmers
crop rotation should be so used as
to improve their fertility instead of
wasting it. Slopes from go to

"Another Friend Gone Home"

learning of the going home of an
other friend of his youth:
With the passing away of Mrs.
Mary Pugh Wilson, aged 88 years

of Ohio. l was schoolmate of the
| Peugh girls. Carrie. Mary, Wilda,
Sarah, Lucy, Ollie and Becky all
now at rest except Wilda, an in
valid at her home in Cincinnati.
Their mother died when she was
past so years of age. Where are
the Bishops, for whom the town was
named? Their home was open to
strangers and friends alike. Many

| Charlie, Frank and Xarissa, true
Scotch ancestry, (proud of it), at
gone. Xarissa married Ira Falls of
q pioneer family, and lived all her

Her sons are dead, the Falls name
is no more, as is also the Bishop
and Wilson names. Last October
attended the Falls sale. one of the
largest crowds | ever saw at sale,
but when ! asked a stranger why
the crowd, he said This is land
mark everyone knew. Falls and
Bishops-same as you knew the

Adams, Wards, Aldermans, Camp
bells, Mingus, Howards-a gone
except Cecil, and with the news of
Mary's passing came the word OF
his. Such life: / sought the Falls
girls. I'm told there are three that
live in distant cities, but saw only
one, the older, the image of her
mother, a beautiful woman. who
seemed SO saddened by the loss of
the home and parents. I did not
reveal myself as familiar face rose
before me in the person of Mrs
Hettie Braderick Chappalear, and
our surprise at meeting blotted all
else out. We lived our youthful
days over. Let me say I've lived
my Sc years and life has been gooa
to ME, but I'll return no more to
my childhood home as my eyes
grow dim and our meeting will be

In closing Mr.. Davis added a
poem in tribute to Mrs. Mary Peugh

Bishop, both passing away in Feb.
ruary. However because of the pol
icy of this paper of many years
standing, in not publishing poetry
the poem is omitted.

How Have An Overlooking Church
The Year Refund?


The Rev. J. j. Pease, pastor Of
the Baptist church, Jackson, Mich,
has said in answer to this question
that such a result can be obtained
if sustained interest is held by car
rying on constantly midweek meet
ings, usually evangelistic in type,
with occasional visiting pastors and
evangelists; sometimes special lee
lures and sacred concerts furnish
special week day programs; much is
made of Bible reading on the part
of the members of the church !;
Bible reading is made practical in
personal work; members of the
church who have been duly in
structed call on unchurched people,
with two objectives, one to come to
church services and the other to be-
gin the Christian life by accepting
Christ as Lord and Saviour Rev.
Pease said much must be made of
the preaching of the gospel, never
allowing it to be sidetracked in the
Sunday public services of worship by
any program of entertainment. He
referred to the first few chapters of
the Book OF Acts as the real basis
on which to work. Mr.. Pease began
his ministry five years ago with a
membership of 800, which has now
been increased to 900 who are ac-
lively participating in the work Of
the church

Peter Heals a Lame Man, Acts
3:1-1O; 4:8-12, for Sunday, Feb.
"a:
Soon after Pentecost with all its
excitement and power, we find
Peter and John going quietly into
the temple to pray.
v. 1. "Now Peter and John were
going up into the temple at the
hour of prayer being the ninth
hour" Praying men are the
worlds best helpers. Good wor-
shippers are good workers. The spirit
of service is often the best part OF
it. One can never give what he does
not have; Peter came to God in
prayer and received something bet
had to give others in order to keep
it.
V. 2. "And a certain man that
was lame from his mothers womb
was carried, whom they laid daily
at the door OF the temple which is
called Beautiful, to ask aims OF
them that entered into the temple. ="
There is no institution that equals
the church in philanthropy and
benevolences, as appeals for help
are made close to temple doors.
This man was spiritually lame as
we'll as physically lame; between
our home and the church are many
lame folks who will never go there
and possess religious character un-
less we stop on our way extend a
hand and give them faith and cour-
age to walk with US.
v. 4. "And Peter, fastening his
eyes upon him, with John, said
Look on u.s. These two disciples
took a real interest in this begger:
they evidently had started for the
temple in ample time to do personal
work on the way; Peter would en-

courage the lame man to exercise
what little faith he had even though
it be to look up to two of Christ's
representatives for the Lord must
be seen in his followers; faith in
one of Gods children preceded faith
in God.
VS.. 5, 6. "And he gave heed un-
to them, expecting to receive some
thing from them. But Peter said,
Silver and gold have I none: but
what l have that give / thee. In the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
walk" The best way to help the
needy is to make it possible for
them to help themselves, and some
times it is not best to give aims.
Jesus had promised that his dis

Peter made the venture of faith in
Christ to perform this miracle of
healing, and the plan worked
V. Z. "And he took him by the
right hand. and raised him up; and
Immediately his feet and ankle
bones received strength" Here is
an illustration of the power of the
right kind of a hand shake; Peter
continued 10 encourage the lame
man to exercise his faith; he wait
ed and held on till the lame man
responded; a good work begun must
not be given up till the needed task
is performed.
V. 8. "And leaping up, he stood,
and began to walk; and he entered
with them into the temple, walking
and leaping and praising God" Re-
suits tell there is no need of an ar -
gument here as to spiritual power
let loose through men. This lame
man expressed his gratitude and
proved his faith by accompanying
Gods children to the house of God,
participating in the worship SER
vice. A truly converted man will
naturally associate with other
Christians.
V. g. "And all the people saw
him walking and praising God" A
converted man owes it to God to let
his spiritual transformation be
known to others. since this is the
witnessing for Him that is in Gods

WHY Burden Ourselves?

The story is told of a knight who
was going travelling one day, and he
thought it wise to provide himself
against every emergency. So he put
a mousetrap in his pocket, lest he
be troubled with mice. He threw
a beehive over his shoulder, lest he
be pestered with bees. He put a
mosquito net in his satchel lest he
be annoyed with mosquitoes. And
in the end, he had such load that
he could not carry it. This is a par
able of life. We burden ourselves
with SO many elements of preven-
ton that the load becomes impos-
sible. We gather up SO many diff
culties that work becomes a dis
abling drudgery. The art of life is
to find joy in our work, SO it may
become easy. If our work is hard
is it because there is anxiety and
friction.
