Who Is My Neighbor?

Which now of these three, think
est thou, was neighbor unto him
that fell among the thieves? And
he said, He that showed mercy on
him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.--Luke
10: 36-37. Read Luke 10:25-37.
Many have known the general
teachings of the Bible that neigh
bors are to be loved. But differ
ent ideas about who the neighbors
are have confused honest and
earnest folk. A courageous young
man asked Jesus, and who is my
neighbour" We are indebted to
him, for out of this inquiry came
the disturbing story of the Good
Samaritan which destroys the idea
that a neighbor is the fellow who
lives near us. 1t points out that
he does not even have to be a
member of the groups we like and
appreciate. The man who raised
the question reached the right an
swer when he said that the neigh
bbor was the one that showed
mercy on" the wounded man. The
person is our neigbor toward
whom we have the privilege Of

THIRD OF A SERIES OF SERMONETTES

Duncan
showing merciful kindness.
Did you ever find a wrecked car
on the highway with injured per-
sons in it or on the road close by?
That was the setting for showing
who your neighbors were. Many
have shown kindness even without
knowing the names of the injured.
Under such conditions names
seem to be so unimportant. Help
ing a suffering person in the
spirit of Jesus is always the main
thing.
The Samaritan acted promptly.
He did not spare himself, his
money, or his donkey. The only
time 10 help is the hour of need.
TO delay always brings loss of
happiness to the helper and great
er pain to those in need The
present is the time to do good to
our neighbors..
We pray, our Saviour, that We
may not quibbble about a defini-
ton of neighbors but that we shall
be prepared in spirit and posses
sions to help without delay. Amen.

HUGE FLOWER CROP
SLATED AT ORION
Thousands OF Camellia,
AzaIea And Other Plants
Are Prepared
BY BILL KEZIAH
Star CORRESPONDENT

SOUTHPORT, June 12-With a
general belief that it will be the
most valuable single crop ever
grown on any single farm or
plantation in Brunswick county,
the Orion Plantation nursery is
now preparing to start hundreds
of thousands of camellia, azalea
and other plants in its green
houses. Next spring these plants
vii be tr~ansplanted to the open
grounds and during the next
two and three years the cdmellla
will go on sale at prices ranging
from about $500 to $1,000 each.
depending on the variety.
The azaleas and others plants,
marketed at the same time will,
for the most part, have lesser
prices.
Illustrative of the planting now
ready to start, more than IS, 600
camellias and a still greater num-
Der of azaleas and other plants
have recently been transferred
from the greenhouses to the open
grounds. Three or four acres being
required for this new planting.
These plants we're all started in the
greenhouses last summer and
heir removal makes way for a
still larger number to be started
this summer. Additional green
house space is also available this
year.
Bill Hyatt, graduate Of the
University of Florida school of
horticulture last week, arrived
Thursday to start the new plant
ing. Hyatt supervised last sum-
mer's work of filling the green
houses.
Although the marketing of plants
takes two, three and even four
years after the plants are start
ed in the greenhouses, the plans
r understood to be to put out a
huge number OF plants each year
and these that are started this
summer will really constitute just
n years crop. With around a
hundred thousand camellia plants
to be started this year, to say
nothing Of as many more other
plants, the claims of a valuable
crop can readily be understood.
