By NEWMAN CAMPBELL

Today we talk about the power Of
faith, and we have two very inter-
esting stories to illustrate our tale
just as Jesus made his talks clear by
stories that are called parallels.
The first one continues our lessons
about Peter and how by his preach
ings and teachings he converted very
many to the new religion of Jesus
But there were also many who were
not only unconverted, but who were
made very angry and antagonistic by
his teaching, and sought to do him
HARM
The King, Herod. listened to these
enemies of Peters, and threw him
into prison. He, left him to anguish
in prison, we'll guarded, until after
the feast of the Passover, when he
intended to turn him over to the peO-
pie, who would kill him.
1t was the last night of the Pass
over and Peter was asleep in prison.
All his friends and the Christians
everywhere were praying for him.
Prayer was made without ceasing
of the church unto God for him." the
Bible says in our Golden Text. Sud-
denly a light shone in the prison and
it awoke Peter. An angel was stand
ing at his side The angel smote him
and raised him up, saying, "Arise up
quickly" And the chains that bound
him fell off. And the angel said,
"Gird thyself and bind on thy san
dals." :
He did, and then the angel said,
"Cast thy garments about thee ano
| follow me- He led Peter to the ho.2
gate. 1t opened before them with
| out them having touched it, and they
went out into the street. Peter
| thought he was dreaming and that II
was all a vision, but the angel was
gone and he was free, so he went
| to the house of some friends. They
were within still praying that. ne
might be spared to them. He knock
| ed at the door, and when a malo
| named Rhoda came to the door, sne
| was so surprised to see him that She
rushed joyfully to tell the others
| They would not believe that it really
was Peter, but thought it must be
| his spirit, but he convinced them
that it was indeed he, in the flesh;
| He told them to go to others and tel
| of his deliverance, and then ne Wen'
| away to continue his work.
The other story is taken from the
| Old Testament, in Daniel, and II Is
1 about Daniel, who was very clever
| man and a prophet He was very
| rank and told the kings the mean
ing of their dreams. and Visions
whether it was pleasant or Whetne1

they had been wicked. He foretolo

CIO REPRESENTATIVE
UNEASY AT HEARING

nv n TVNN NTSRET.
BY G.

Raleigh, March l0.-At Washlng-
ton Representatives of .AFL and ClO
are trying to get together and iron
out differences between the two big
labor groups. At Raleigh this week
agents of the two didn't clash, but
neither did they get very close to-
gether.
Henry Adams of CIO was heard
Wednesday in favor Of the wage
hour bills, and while he spoke Jim
Barrett of AFL was in room across
the hall. Yesterday Barrett spoke,
and Adams had a seat on the very
back row. When the Asheville Ia
borite waxed eloquent in his lauda-
ton of the American Federation and
caustic in his castigation of every in
fluence that had attempted to dis
rupt it, Socialists, Bolsheviks, 1WW's
Communists, etc.-though he did not
mention CIO he looked right al
Brother Adams. Mr.. Adams twisted
around a few times and then got VI
and walked around the rear of the
room. He reached the door, paused
and came back. But he showed very
plainly that he didn't like what Bar
rett was saying.

a great feast and brought the golden
vessels that belonged to the temple
and drank wine out of them, he and
his household and friends. While they
were carousing a hand appeared on
the wall and wrote some mysterious
words. None of the wise men of the
court could interpret them, and at
last Daniel was called in, and he told
what they meant. So the king honor
ed him and made him one of his rul-
ers, but this king died and Darius
was king in his place.
Darius, too, honored Daniel, but
there were men in the court who
hated him and sought to destroy him.
They got the king to sign a decree
that anyone in the kingdom who ask
ed a petition of anyone or any pow
er save the king should be cast into
the lions den Then they told the
king that every day Daniel prayed
to God, and so they said he must
be destroyed because he did not keep
the law.
The king was very sorry he had
been tricked into signing the petit
ton, but he couldn't very well go
back on his oath, so he had Daniel
thrown into the den of lions and he
closed the opening of the den with a
great stone and sealed it with his
J own seal. But all that night he
couldn't sleep and his heart was very
heavy. Very early the next morning
he went to the den and called, hoping
against hope that something had
saved David from the hungry beasts.
To his great surprise and joy
/ Daniel answered and told the king
that he was unharmed. "My, God,"
he said, hath shut the lions mouths
that they have. not. hurt me-" The
king was glad and commanded that
they should take Daniel olif iof the
den. Then he had the wicked men
who had plotted against Daniel to be
thrown to the lions, they and their
wives and children-and the lions
killed them all.
At any rate, faith that they would
be saved preserved both these faith
full servants of the Lord, and it will
do much for. us if we trust that we
| will be helped and work toward that
end.

SMALL GRAINS ARE
DAMAGED BY RAIN
Serious Blow Results From
Leaching Of Soluble
Plant Foods

College Station, Raleigh, MarchlO.
Excessive rains of recent weeks
have dealt small grains serious
blow by teaching soluble plant 1ood
nutrients from the soil, {. B. Will
liams, head of the State College Ag-
ronomy Department, declared today
In many fields the plants have lost
their healthy green color, and in
others the crop has almost been
drowned by continual doWnpours.
Some of the needed fertility lost
through teaching can be restored
through a top dressing of soluble nj
trogen, Williams pointed out. Usually
from 16 to 20 pounds to the acre is
recommended.
In terms of nitrate Of soda, the
equivalent Of this amount of soluble
nitrogen may be obtained from 120
to 125 pounds of the soda. In more
extreme cases, a larger amount
might prove profitable in restoring
the plants to their former vigor.
"Applications should be made as
soon as the land is in condition to
walk on Williams stated, land
should be distributed when the leaves
are free from dew and rain"
While the rains were an important
factor in washing fertility from the
land. good top dressing probably
would have been necessary anyway,
the State College agronomist said. AS
a general rule, North Carolina farm
ers fail to add enough nitrogen to
their fertilizer to supply small grain
needs.
Tobacco growers have also been
troubled with excessive rains, find
ing their plants in the bed acquir-
ing a yelloWish cast because of heavy
teaching.
Lloyd Weeks, assistant tobacco
specialist Of the State College Ex-
tension Service, recommends top
dressing where this condition ex-
lists of so to rs pounds per 100 square
yards of a mixture of inorganic and
organic nitrogen.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD

John 1O:22-3O. And it was at
Jerusalem the feast of the dedica-
ton, and it was winter. And Jesus
walked in the temple in Solomon's
porch. Then came the Jews round
about him, and said unto him, how
long dost thou make us to doubt? If
thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
Jesus answered them, 1 told you,
and ye believed not: the works that
l do in my Fathers name, they bear
witness of me. But ye believe not,
because ye are not of my sheep, as
/ said unto you. My sheep hear my
voice, and 1 know them, and they
follow me: And l give unto them
eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand. My Father,
which gave them me, is greater than
all; and no man is able to pluck
them out Of my Fathers hand. I
and nv Father are one.

RY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh. March 10.-The Sandy
Graham-backed fair Cor is IT Unfair,
.trade bill was first of the session tt
get onto the House calendar through
a report without prejudice"
The measure came up in that some
what euuivocating and hedging man.
ner from Judiciary No. l (the com
mittee Speaker had personally pick
ed to study iD, only after the mar
rowest squeak imaginable from an
unfavorable recommendation.
1t seems that the committee voted
once, 7 to 6, to report the bill un-
favorably. that shortly after this oc-
Cured an opponent left the session,
whereupon one of its proponents
moved that the vote by which the ad-
verse report had been given be re-
considered.
On this reconsideration motion the
vote was tied at six for and half a
dozen against, whereupon the COM
mittee followed something OF a Solo
mon-like course and decided TO seno
in the bill without prejudice"
To all intents and purposes the
effect will be about the same as elth-
er a favorable report or an unfaVor-
able one accompanied Dy a minority
opinion. Any one of them gets the
matter before the whole House, SO
that it takes only a majority vote to
keep it alive. :
The bill has been the center OF
much controversy and has resulted
in the hurting of charges OF "polltlcS
and "debt-paying'
1t was originally introduced in the
Senate by John Umstead, OF Orange,
and passed the upper house with
out much discussion and without any
recorded opposition.
