ON THE AGRICULTURAL
o

Merchanized equipment that
meets the requirements Of small
cotton farms is needed, said f. D.
White Assistant to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, in an address
recently before the Cotton Con-
gress in Dallas, Texas.
Emphasizing the need for
gearing more farm machinery to
the needs Of small cotton farmers,
White pointed out that over half
our cotton acreage is worked by
farmers who produce less than 10
bales of cotton.
Continuing, he added, while
mechanization is advancing and

to Secretary Anderson said that
consumption of rayon is now

Rev. Raines asked the congre-
cation to offer a silent prayer
for the shut-ins, before he deliv-
cred his message for the morning.
His srmon was taken from Isaiah
42:4. Theme: Is Christianity a
Failure? Everyone's name on the
Church roll are not Christians. 1t
is often said that Christianity Is
a failure. Christ said He shall not
fail nor be discouraged. Jesus
would never have suffered as he
did if Christianity was to be a
failure. Should peace come to the
world. it will have to come
through those who know Christ.
It is easy to understand why some
say Christianity is a failure. OF

ity was a failure? More men and
woman believe in Christ today
than ever before. There are some
people in tn Church that believe
in Christ today than eve before.
There are some people in the
Church that believe in Christ.
God said through Jesus that be-
fore his word fail, Heaven and
Earth will pass away. Christian
ity does pay and Christianity is
not a failure. 81

Rev. Raines before, and it was
requeshted again. There is much

Bring Christ to the Nations

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-An appeal for
greater trust in Gods prudence
! was issued today by the Rev. =.
T. Bernthal, Pastor of Epiphany
Lutheran Church, Detroit, Mich
igan. and summer guest speaker
on Bringing Christ to the Nations
the International Lutheran Hour.
Speaking over the Mutual
Broadcasting System and affilia-
ted stations, Pastor Bernthal de-
clared: If there ever was a time
when all Of us in the world need
ed faith in Gods providence, that
is today. What we need above all
today is to become a people OF
great faith, living lives of love,
complete self giving, trusting al
ways in Gods providence. Having
such a trust in our own hearts,
it is ours to make America a
people of great faith. Only a
people Of great faith can begin
to contemplate a just and durable
peace. If it is true that the Nazis
were unable to knock Christian
ity. out Of their people by force,
it is unlikely that Hitlerism or
atheistic Communism can be
driven out Of Europe by people
Of little or faith. It is impossible
to cast out devils by Beelzebub
now as it was in the time Of
Christ"
Commenting on current econ
omic plans, Pastor Bernthal con-
tinued: Would you like to see
in this starving world Of ours
freedom from want? Let me tell
you that such freedom from want
shall depend far more on our
obedience and trust in God than
on sound economy. In fact, trust
in Gods sound economy. You say
that it is impractical. It is no
more impractical than to say, as
Jesus saidit, Seek we first the
kingdom Of God and it's righteous
ness, and all these things shall
be added unto YOU
Pastor Bernthal concluded: IF
America would meet her destiny
in the world, then let her catch
a vision of what can be for the
whole. Out of a world full of the
little dreams of men, private wish
full dreams, the laborer with his
dreams, the employer with his
the underpriviliged classes with
their dreams, the privileged class
es with theirs-to each man his
dream-from a world full of the
| vague, half hearted dreams of a
| world without war and a human
ity without hate, let us today in
His Holy Word catch a vision,
which transcends them all for
daring and prity Of motive, on
visioned for His Church by the
Lord Himself. Let US dedicate
ourselves once more to the pro-
position that beyond and above
the kingdoms of the world, stands
the kingdom Of Dur God, eternal,
unchanging, whose King is a
King wearing a crown of thorns.
whose sceptsr brooks mo chal-
lenge, whose greatest law is a
law of love and who will supply
all of our needs according to His
riches in glory by Christ Jesus

DURHAM, Oct. 10. 10 - A
gridiron rivalry that dates back
as far as 18 9will be renewed
at Gore Stadium in Wake Forest
next Saturday afternoon when
the Duke Blue Devils battle the
red-hot Wake Forest Demon
DeaconS in a top-notch Southern
Conference contest that is ex-
pected to attract a capacity
crowd.
A darkhorse in the Conference
race this fall, the aerial-minded
Deacons of Coach Douglas
"Peahead" Walker won their
first three games, including a
surprise 1877 victory over North
Carolina.
Wallace Wade's Blue Devils
have done all right for them
selves, too. After recording
opening trlumphS over N. c.
State and Tennessee, Duke was
held to a 14-14 deadlock by Navy
last week.
Duke holds a big lead in this
ancient rivalry with Wake
Forest, having won 81, lost six
and tied one in the % game
serise. AS a matter of fact, the
Deacons have not defeated the
locals since 1912. The Blue
Devils won by 10 to 0 last
season.
If early games are any indi-
cation of what to expect from
the Blue Devils and Deacons, it
will be the Duke forward wall
against the razzle-dazzle passing
attack of Wake Forest.
