Our Lost Brothers

REMEMBER, too, that while all
~ are summoned to the same
destiny Gas Paul said: "God COM
mands all men to repent" not just
some of themD, many and many a
man (must we say, alas, most
men?) misses that destiny.
There is a broad road leading
to destruction, Jesus said, and
many are travelling that road.
How can Christian be indiffer-
ent about a thing like that?
Every man on the dark road is
man who might be
Christian.
From the dead-cnd road of self
ishness, hatred and pride he might
come over to the highway Of God
-. if some one took the trouble to
go after him. But we shall not
bother ourselves much, we shall
not bother ourselves enough. about
our lost brothers, unless we have
the World-citizen's eye and the
wOrld-Christian's heart.

The Importance of Being Human


If WE would only just stop pinning
our little tags on people! We call
them foreigners" or farmers" or
Canadians or college boys" or
Chinese" So they are; but the
most important fact about Chinese,
or fishermen, or farmers or any
other class Of mankind, is that they
are human beings.
What we have in common, as
human beings, is infinitely more i'm
portant than the variations which
set us off into different races, class
es and groups. The Christian will
be loyal citizen of his own land;
but he will also remember that he
is a World-citizen too. And as a
world-citizen, he will always re-
member certain truths about all his
fellow human beings.
One is that since we all have
common humanity, we all
stand in need of God. It is not
much eXaggeration, if any, to
say that to be human is to be
helpless.
Scholars write books with titles
like ''The Human Predicament,"
which is a short way of saying that
if you are human you are in a
mess. You need God, whoever you
are. But if you know that, then also
remember that all other members
OF the human race need him too,
quite as much as you do.

Soil Survey In

Acres In 1850

During the year 1850, 10, $40
acres were soils surveyed in the
Madison Soil Conservation Dis
trict, according to William E.
Reese, soil surveyor for the U. S.
Soil Conservation Service. This
increases to 41,501 the total acre
age surveyed in the District from
the time of its organization in
1916 to date.
A soil conservation survey is
physical inventory of the land,
and will show the variations that
affect its use, management, and
treatment. 1t consists of the iden-
tification and mapping of specific
land conditions such as soil type,
soil loss due to erosion, and de-
gree of slope. Certain other con-
ditions such as drainage ways,
sink holes, and swampy areas are
mapped where necessary. Land
usage at the time of the survey is
also mapped as it is essential in
formation for conservation plan
ming.
The soil conservation survey
determines the land classified
tions; these are the bases for the
development of farm conserva-
ton plans by Madison county
farmers in cooperation with Paul
Bangham, farm planner for the

SUCCESS

S0GGESS
There's always room at
the top, tbs said. We concur
with this line of thought. If
man does a little more
than he's asked to and il he
stays at work a little longer
than required he will soon be
noticed. IF his work is good
the chances are that he will
be given the chance to fill a
better job when the time
comes. After all, if a person
is interested in his job to
such an extent, it is more
than an even chance that the
boss will give him that
break" he's looking for.
TORTURE
The white robed figure saw
that the irons were red hot
and that the oil was boiling.
After making sure that the
subject was tied securely and
unable to move a muscle, he
placed the shroud over her
and proceeded to give
her a permanent wave!
REMEMBER
A fellow who saves for a
rainy day is bound TO get a
lot of bad weather reports
from his relatives!
HUMANS
A naturalist has drawn a
line between what he calls
true sportsmen and mechan-
lied sportsman. Says that the
mechanical variety always
has some badge of recognition
such as a gun, rod or golf
club. The real sportsman, on
the other hand, might be ask
ed, (should he announce that
he's going for a walk What
for?" We wonder if people
ever go for walks any more.
BOOK
A fine book is the Word
Finder" Handy as all get out.
For instance the book lists
over 200 adjectives which can
be used with the word,
idea" 1t lists over 300 for
Creature. Thus you know
that human being is crea-
ture but with 800 adjectives
explaining what kind. -
BROKER
Suppose you've heard the
one about the stock broker
with the high fever well,
the sick broker was told by
his doctor that he had a tenn
perature of 1o2. The broker
