Text: Matthew, Chapters 8 and
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. D.

BY WILLIAM +. O1LRO1, ~ -.
The Sermon on the Mount,
which occupies three chapters OF
Matthew Gospel, was evidently
preached, or spoken, to the inner
circle of disciples Who gathered
around Jesus as He sat down. But
when Jesus came down from the
mountain the people who had
thronged about Him gathered
again, and as the opening verse Of
Matthew says, great multitudes
followed Him"
The chapters that follow are
taken up with the stories of how
Jesus, who had come not to be
ministered unto but to minister,
brought healing and help to many.
First was the leper whom He
cleansed and told to go and show
himself to the priest, according
to the Jewish law. Next was the
healing of the Roman Centurion S
servant, with the strong COM
mendation of the Centurion's faith
and the declaration that in the
very beginning marked the uni
versal nature of Christ's mission
and salvation, and the complete
antagonism of Christianity to every
form of religious and racial bigo-
try: Il say unto you that many
shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abra.
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in
the kingdom Of heaven" Such
words said to a Roman Centurion
could only be unmistakable in their
meaning.
In Peters house Jesus found
PETERS mother-in-law sick of =

evening many brought their sick
both in mind and in BODY, to he

God Laughs
Chaplain Frank M. Thompson
(Acting Pastor, Pearsall Memo
rial Presbyterian Church.)
Il do be thinking God must
laugh
the time he makes boy"

the time he makes "a boy"
II the good God laughs The
time He makes boy there must
be a note of sadness in the laugh.
Juvenile delinquency is increasing
all over our land; our boys and
girls between the ages of II and
% constitute the majority of our
criminals. What a record!
However, there is hope. In q
few cities the delinquent parents
are put in Jail instead of the de-
linquent children. But the larger
hope lies in the increased interest
in young peoples welfare, especial
ly in such organizations as the
Boys and Gihls Scouts of America.
The coming week the Boy Scouts
will observe their 35th anniver-
sary. All honor to this great
movement; to its splendid leader
ship; to the fine men who are de-
voted to the cause. Would that
more men might lend hand. The
need is urgent and not without it's
reward
The closing lines of John Hays
poem, Little Breeches'', which
describes the old farmers faith in
the guardian angel, who looked
after his little boy, when his
frightened team ran, hell to split
over the prairie must be Gods
thought toward those wno look
after his boys and girls.
Il think that saving a little
child
And fotching him to his own,
Is burned sight better bust
ness,

throne"
Parents, keep an eye On your
boy. Know where he spends his
leisure hours. See to it that he
is IN supervised group of boys
OF his age. What good is life if
our lads go to the devil.
Il do be thinking God must
laugh,
The time He makes a boy,

AGRICULTURAL EX
SERVICE

California produced 38 per cent
fewer hogs in 1914 than the 1,153, 900
had produced in l943, as shown by
the California Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service. Sharp reductions
from 1943 farrowingS Wele shown in
both the spring and fall crops but
especially in the fall After feed
costs climbed above 1943 levels ana
feed shortages appeared likely,
many hog producers dropped out OF
the business and considerable breed
ing stock was sold. The resulting fall
pig crop, estimated at 324,000 head,
is only SO per cent Of the fall crop
of 1943.
Breeding intentions for the spring
crop CT 1945 shown by the current
survey indicate some increate IN
farrowings in the spring OF l945.
This suggests that the low point in
California wa time hog production
may have been reached in the
sharply reduced crop of the fall OF
1914. Heavy demands fer pork prod
ucts and more ample supplies of
grains and by-product feeds are
held chiefly responsible for checking
the recent decline in hog production
within the state.
Nationally, hog production in 1914
dropped sharply from the all-time
peak reached in 1943 and a further
decline is in prospect in 1945, al
though at a lower rate. The fall pig
crop of 1914 of 1925, 900 head is
"a per cent below the fall crop OF
l943. When added to the spring
pig crop of 55,42S,000, which was
down Is Fer cent, the total pig crop
of 86,753,000 is 20 per cent below
1943.
The indicated number of scws to
farrow in the spring of 1e45 is 7 per
cent less than the number farrowed
in the spring of 1914.

The act is not quite clear on the
payment point. In other areas the
flax for this year has not been
planted, and therefore, flax growers
said, they will undoubtedly cash in
on the deal Argyle MacLachlan,
secretary of the Southwest Flaxseed
association, said efforts are being
made to get the act clarified.

no information from Washington

One source suggested that the
subsidy may be paid for voluntary
increases of flax paintings over last

the possibility of payments being
made available if a whole county
should show an increase in paintings

Progress was reported in the in

the gains. For weeks the line had

Their push was aimed into a
countryside broken by copses and a

which the Germans hac maintained
many batteries which for two

or less steady harassing fire on
Dempsey's positions.

increase in output which makes it
possible for manufacturers to ship
several thousands each month for

This will be good news for those
needing replacementS for refriger-

Suppliers are not permitted to de-

In such cases, the old motor must be
taken in exchange, repaired if prac-

conditions.
TRUCK TIRES
Judging from present indications,
says the Office of Defense Trans
portation, commercial motor vehicle
operators will receive only about
one-half of their estimated tire re-
quirements during the first quarter
CT 1945. The urgent military demand
for tires for combat vehicles, trucks,
jeeps and other military transport
was given as the reason for the
drastic cut. ODT said the tire situ-
