GOSPEL TALKS
BY r. G. Valentine
REPENTANCE

"Repent we: for the kingdom o!
heaven is at hand."--Matt. 90
The message of the prophets OF
old, Of the disciples of Christ Him
self was a message Of repentance
toward God. This the first step that
man can take to please God. AS a
sinful creature, he must repent OF
his sins before he can come to God.
It is a mistake to think that man
simply needs to be improved. Rather
ne is a rebel who needs 20 lay down
his arms. No amount of improve
ment will help. We don't need to
become better rebels but we need
to a being rebels at all. To dem
and repentance toward God is SIM
ply to demand unconditional SURF
ender to Him.
Until we repent we are busy SER
wing Satan. In Cody sorrow for sin
must turn from openly following
Satan and his rule. We must pray,
"Have mercy upon me O God, acc
ording TO thy loving kindness: acc
ording unto the multitude of thy
tender rnercies blot out my trans
.gressicns. Wash me thoroughly
from mine mighty, and cleanse me
toward Jesus Christ are necessary
from sin."--Psalm SLIP
Repentance toward God and faith
steps in the forgiveness of sin. To
those who forsake their evil way
and turn to God, Gods promise is,
II viii hear from Heaven and for
give their sin."--2 Chron. TIA ere
pent We, therefore, and be converted
your sins may be blotted out"
Acts 3:19.

LIME IS BENEFICIAL

LIME IS BENEFICIAL
Many folks still question
whether it pays in actual dollars
and cents to use lime on the crop
land and pasture land of Noble
County farms.
For good many years the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station
has been running an experiment in
which one set of plots are farmed
without lime and another set ad-
joining are farmed in the same
crops with lime. During this per-
iod, the corn on the lined land out
yielded the corn on the unlimed
land by "a bushels per acre. the
oats on the lined land by 13
bushels per acre; and the wheat on

a little more than ton per acre.
If we count corn at 30 centsod
bushel, wheat at $l.20, oats at
cents and hay at $l4.0O per g
and the agricultural limestone
$500 per ton, we find that on the
average during this period, the
lined land made more than $l2.OO
per acre per year net for the far
mer than did the unlimed land.
Every acre of land on the farm
has invested in it a lot of labor.
Why not have these twelve extra

labor income.

The dry weather has seriously af-

attached, eight in all, with whirl-

be moved frequently during the
