him that hath called us to glory
| and virtue Note the emphasis
| on the word "give" in the different
| verses" Souls respond most read
lily to God when He is not thought
of as one that commands and de-
mands but as one who gives rich
blessings. Spiritual life can not be
obtained by our own power; it is
Christ working within us that pro-
duces growth and power. Again
the word knowledge" is used to
emphasize personal relations with
God.
Whereby are given us exceed
ing great and precious promises,
that by these We might be partak-
ers of the divine nature, having es-
capped the corruption that is in the
world through lust Those who
respond to the divine call and ap-
prOpriate the promises become
through an inward transformation
like God in their inner nature.
v. 5. "And beside this, giving
oil ulllScuCC, duu " yO01 Adltu VII
tue; and to virtue knowledge" Be-
cause God had granted us such won
derful promises on our part We
should be more diligent. We ought
to supplement our faith with good
ness.
v. 6. "And to knowledge tenn
perance; and to temperance pa
tience; and to patience godliness."
A mark of growth is self-control
over all of life; another mark is
patience manifest in patient endur-
ance and steadfastness.
v. Z. "And to godliness BROTH
erly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity. Another make of
growth is real kindness to all peo-
pie prompted by profound love
that will go to the limit in self-sac-
rifice.
v. 8. "For if these things be in
you, and abound, they make you
that We shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ" The various
graces of the Christian character,
realized in the heart, will lead us
on toward that fuller knowledge of
Christ; if they are really ours, they
will not allow us to be idle; they
must bring forth the fruit Of works.

BOOK ON HURRICANES BY
IVAN r. TANNEHILL

The following is taken from "The
National Underwater:
''The book on hurricanes by Ivan
R. Tannehill, chief of the marine
division of the U. S. Weather Bu-
reau, published in 1898 has been
put out in new edition, by Princeton
University Press. The new book
contains additional material in
cluding data on the New England
hurricane of 1898. Once in three
years on q average, a really great
hurricane devastates some part of
the U. S., Mr.. Tannehill states.
The New England hurricane,
1898, caused greater economic loss
than any other single storm in the
worlds history, he states. Careful
survey seem to justify the claim
that the total property damage was
between $250.000.O00 and $780,
100000"
"Mr. Tannehill points out that
the growth of information on
storms has paralleled the develop
ment of communications. He dem
onstrates the procedures for mea-
suring wind velocity of hurricanes
or cyclones; shows how they rise,
always at sea and that they usual
ly follow a similar track. Hurri-
canes cause a vast amount OF life
and property loss, much Of which
has been presented in modern
times by advance warnings, and
precautionary measures"
"The book contains interesting
records and data on 978 memorable
hurricanes covering four and q
half centuries through 1s41, many

Growth of Christ, Luke 2:4-52;
II Peter Ills, for Sunday, Oct
18.
When physical growth stops in
a child it is cause for real sorrow.
Likewise when there is no spiritual
growth there is a great sorrow. Am
/ growing my soul? Is very i'm
portant question.
v. 4-52. ''And the child grew
and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom; and the grace OF
God was upon him. And Jesus in
creased in wisdom and stature, and
in favour with God and man." AS
Jesus was perfect God and perfect
man so he possessed completely the
attributes of both natures. Al
though it was possible for Jesus,
who was God as well as man, to
draw, if the needs of his mission
required it, upon the inexhaustible
stores of his divine knowledge; yet
it was his usual custom to obtain
his information through human
channels. In childhood apparently
the divine nature was pushed aside
and Jesus conformed to the laws OF
human growth and wisdom. thus
entering deeply into the common
experience of mankind. The point
of emphasis is that he grew physi-
cally, mentally and spiritually as
other children grew with this differ
ence, he was perfectly Obedient to
parents, to the call of service, to
the laws of nature and laws of the
spirit.
v. /. "Simon Peter, a servant
and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to
them that have obtained like prec-
ious faith with us throug the right
eousness of God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ" Peter wrote this
epistle to meet a certain danger of
faith; hence he proceeds in q posi-
tive way, not deriding but pointing
to a worthy objective a precious
faith. Such faith is based on the
righteousness of God. You can de-
pend upon it, God always does
right Our part is to let him have
his way with US.
v. 2. "Grace and peace be null
tiplied unto you through the knowl-
edge of God, and Jesus our Lord"
The word knowledge" in the Greek
is a strong one, implying an init
mate and personal relationship. 1t
is through such knowledge OF
God and of Christ that grace and
peace are multiplied to any man.
v. 3. According as his divine
power hath given unto US all things
that pertain unto life and godli-
ness, through the knowledge OF

F.. S. A. WORKING ON WARTIME
FOOD PRODUCTION PROGRAM

The Farm Security Administra-
tion of Morgan county has started
working with the National Food Re-
quirements Committee on six
point wartime food production and
marketing program, Fred B. Wat
son, County FSA Supervisor, an
nOunced.
The program, outlined in a di-
rective handed down by Secretary
of Agriculture Claude r. Wickard,
who is also chairman of the Ma
tional Food Requirements Commit
tee, charges the FSA with the job
of bringing into total production
"the man power and resources of
the small farm operators who,
without the type of aid that Farm
Security can furnish, will be unable
to achieve their maximum output
of food and fiber"
It is extremely important that
we encourage small farmers who
can get credit through normal
channels to do SO, in order that
the total financing job done by
Farm Security and other agencies
can make the greatest possible con-
tribution to the production of food.
Mr.. Watson said.
The job outlined in Secretary
Wickard's directive is our job for
the coming year. Only the things
which we have been doing in the
past that contribute directly to the
war effort are to be stressed. The
job ahead is to make the best use
of man power, land and equipment
to produce and market the food
that is needed to win this war.
In his directive to the FSA, Sec
retary Wickard says: "There is nc
question that those who can pro.
duce more will produce more
There is a serious question, how.
ever, whether a great part of our
farmers, a third or more Of them
can bring their labor into full use
and their land into full production
through their unaided efforts.
''This nation cannot produce toe
much OF the food needed to win
this war. The needs Of the United
Nations today are in many cases
already greater than the available

CORPORAL JOHN IVAN
BEATTY WRITES

Corporal John Ivan Beatty, who
before entering the service had his
radio shop at the Archer grocery
wrote Mrs. Archer under date OF
Oct. 8, as follows:
Well, l am on the train between
St. Louis and Indianapolis; am on
my way back to Stout Field from
Kansas City. 1 left Kansas City at
one o'clock and will be in Indian
apolis about two Friday afternoon.
I'll be glad when I get back there
because / don't like to ride on the
train. I would rather fly.
l liked Kansas City very much.
1t was a good soldier boys town. I
didn't get to run around over town
as much as I wanted to, because 1
went to school at night; went to
school from p. m. till midnight,
and they gave us lot of home
work and studying to do, until we
didn't have much time to look
around.
The TWA school was a very good
school. In fact the war depart
ment considered the radio school
the best in the U. S. 1t was tough,
but very interesting to me. l have
learned a lot that will be very help
full to me and my squadron and
also be valuable to me in civilian
life. Really to get the most out of
the course you should have about
a year to take it.
I got 81 percent in my final test.
My average for the school term was
the second highest ever in the
school, but l really had to study
and apply myself to receive that
mark, but 1 am glad did. I would
like very much to go on to school
and study another phase of radio
other than advanced radio me-
chanics, which I took in Kansas
City if my squadron commander
would let me.
We lived in a hotel about ten
blocks from the down town area of
Kansas City, and our eats were
swell. Our instructors were almost
all from TWA and we're certainly
swell fellows. One of my instruc-
tors was radio engineer and had
built two 50,OO0-watt broadcast
ing stations. He had a code speed
of AZ words per minute and also
was a talented musician. l think
he is one of the finest fellows I
ever met. I only wish I could have
spent year with him.
l don't know how long we will be
at Stout Field. We will have to
live in tents if we stay there this
winter from what l have heard.
Stout Field is small field but a
lot of activity there. 1t is in the
corner of town and only
about five minute drive to down
town Indianapolis. There are three
squadrons there at the present
time. The 3Sth Troop Carrier So.
has been there since May 28th. We
have good squadron and I like it
very much. We are just like broth
ers to each other and everything
goes along very we'll.
When 1 get back to the field my
job will be to take care Of the radio
equipment in the planes and to
teach the rest of the fellows in the
radio department to do the same.
I am the only one from Stout
Field that was sent to TWA schools
to take advanced radio mechanics.
I suppose it was because of my
previous experience. I will be put
to work as soon as I get back and
get settled.
I haven't done much flying since
I've been in school. Just enough
to get my flying time in. Will prob
ably do more when / get settled at
the field, at least hope so.
Well, guess I'd better close and
drop a line to my mother. I'm o.
