KNOW YOUR
ELECTION LAWS

Ohio is one of the % states
which makes adequate" prov
ision for voting by members of
the armed services. This does
not mean that only % states
allow members of the armed
services to vote, but only %
states have set up laws which
allow them either to vote with
out being registered, or to regis
ter by mail.
Ohio does not require a per
son in service to be registered,
and allows any member of the
armed services to vote if he or
she is Il years of age, a u. S.
Citizen, and a resident of Ohio.
Ii he resided in Ohio at the time
ne commenced service, he has
a voting residence in the precinct
in which he resided, provided the
time during which he resided in
Ohio preceding his entrance into
oC1 WIG plus tie lililt SDCiib III
service equals or exceeds one
year.
The service man may apply
for ballots himself on d form
furnished by the Federal govern
ment and usually obtainable at
all bases, or on a form furnished
by the county board Of elections,
or merely by writing a letter to
his county board of elections. The
application does not need to be
in any particular form. 1t only
needs TO contain words which,
literally construed, indicate the
request for ballots, the election
for which he desires ballots, that
he is serving in the armed forces,
that he has a residence in the
state, and sufficient information
to enable the board of elections
to determine the precinct in
which his residence is located.

Heroes of Faith-MOSeS
Hebrews 11:23-29

The letter to the Hebrews was
written to a group of Hebrews
who had professed to have ac-
cepted Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Saviour But they were
experiencing persecution and
were being tempted to deny
Christ and go back to the Temple
worship and ceremonies. The
purpose of this letter is to show
its readers that Jesus Christ is
superior to all that had been
offered in the Old Testament
ordinances; it also brings out
that the way of life made pos
Sible by Jesus Christ is much
better than that found in the
Old Testament.
To prove his point, the writer
compares Jesus to the Old Testa-
ment prophets (chp. -, the
angels (chps, ! p, Moses (chp.
-, and Aaron and the Levitical
priesthood (chps 5:1-8:6) He
also compares the new conven-
ant, established by Christ, with
the old covenant, established by
Moses (8;6-l0.39). In chapter IL.
which we have using for our
sermonettes the past few weeks,
the writer sums up his argument
by bringing to the minds of his
readers several Old Testament
men and women who were
esteemed by the Jews. These
men and women were honored
Of God not because of their faith
fulness in observing the Old
Testament rituals but because Of
their faith in God; their obedi-
ence to His will. In fact, some
of them had been ignorant of
the Tabernacle, the Temple, and
the sacrifices and offerings
which are described in the Old
Testament We have considered
Abel, Enoch, Noah and Abra-
ham. Now we 90 to Moses.
Moses is an example of practi-
cal faith. He was reared in a
God-honoring home (verse 23)
His parents considered him to
be their personal responsibility.
They chose to obey God rather
than the king, who had COM
manded them to do what was
definitely wrong. If our children
are to groW-up to be morally

construction of the new
building with the American
system of government. He
explained that it represented
an ideal comparable to the
American way of doing things.
There was a need" he stated,
land the citizens of this county
stepped forward to lend a hand
in a unified effort. James point
ed out that there was not
adequate housing for cattle at
the Playground for All activities.
With this thought in mind many
groups thru-out the county
began to work together and
within a relatively short time
the project became a realization
The future of American pros
perity depends heavily on its
agricultural system" he said,
and congratulated the young
members of the All movement
for their fine contributions
toward this goal.
AS the conclusion to his
speech, Mr.. James presented one
of his former colleagues in the
Tooth General Assembly and now

trict, John e. Henderson. ut
takes a heap of living to make
home" Mr.. Henderson stated
and compared this thought to
the new structure He pointed
out that the many men working
together on the combined pro
ject not only helped the county
but helped themselves.
He explained that if the
building had been donated its
value would not have been a
high as it now stands. For the
people who helped plan the pro-
ject and eventually made it
possible, it represents goal
well accomplished.

A farm owner who arranges
with someone to produce a crop
of livestock on his land for &
percentage share of the total
crops produced does not get
social security credit for thai
income. AS ] mentioned in my
preceding article, his share OF
the crop is considered rental
income and is excluded.
A farm business partnership
however, is another matter. II
you have a farm and enter into
a business partnership or joint
venture with someone to operate
it jointly, both of you are self
employed, just as partners in a
non-farm enterprise operated for
profit. In these cases each part
ner makes a report of his share
of net earnings separately as a
self-employed person, for social
security purposes, and pays the
self-employment tax on that
share.
The general features of any
partnership are that each of the
partners contributes in some way
as agreed upon to the operation
of the business. If there are
losses, each will bear share.
Profits are also shared More
over, the partners are individ-
ually and jointly responsible for
the debts of the partnership. A
partnership is indicated if the
parties hold themselves out as
partners by using a partnership
name in their dealings with
others, have a joint bank ac-
count, etc. Generally, each mem
Der Of a farm partnership would
take part in making decisions
the management and
control of the farm operations.
They let everyone know they
are operating the farm together.
They each take part in the daily
work connected with the opera
ton of the farm and supervise
the daily work of the farm
hands.
1t is possible, too, for a hus-
band and wife to operate a farm
as business partners, in which
event, both would be self-em-
ployed for social security pur-
poses. In the usual family farm
arrangement, however, one
party-usually the husband
has the actual management and
control of the farm. In these
cases, he, not his wife, is the
self-employed farmer, and the
net earnings from the farm
operation should be reported in
his name alone for social security
purposes.
BY the same token, a father
and his child may enter into an
arrangement whereby they are
actually partners or joint ven
turers in the farm operation. In
that even both of them would be
considered self-employed and
each would report his share of
the net earnings and pay the
social security tax on that share.
However, if they are not part
ners and one of them owns the
land but does not take part in
operating it, only the one who
actually farms the land is self
employed.
