Israel's Invitation.
In the chapter we have for con
sideration today God gives his in
vitation to the exiled Israelites in
Babylon to come and satisfy their
thirst. This chapter is a strong
piece of literature. Its melody has
been sung down the ages and found
place in Christian discourses every
where. Yet with all its beauty it is
solemn and sublime beyond any
comparison.
A Witness
David in his day was a witness,
leader and commander of Israel, the
complete fulfillment of his promises
was not consummated till the com
ing of the Prince of Peace In later
times. But before the Prince of
Peace can come men must prepare
for his coming. The Israelites are
still in exile in Babylon, but their

The most intense sutfeiing that a

what does it mean to thirst after

which contributed to a March total
of 106,108, the best sales total for
any month since April, 1937.
A strong showing was made in
usedcar sales, ton Mr. Holler said,
pointing to an increase of 30.4 per
cent for the first ten days of the
month as compared with the com
parable period in April last year. A
total of 54,096 used cars were re
tailed, a gain of 12.G05 units over
April 1-10 last year.
The used car showing during the
first 10 days showed a substantial
step-up over the first 10 days of
March, when 40,528 units were sold.
This gain amounts to 33.5 per cent
Mr. Holler said.

Another winter season has passed

ceive annually at the hands of man.
Springtime in Georgia is a beauti
ful time. After subjecting the state
to an unusually severe winter, Na
ture is now busy spreading new life
over Georgia landscapes. Fields and
forests are wearing new mantles of
green, decorated with bright-colored
blossoms. Yet in far too many piuc-

Generally the corn was not .fertilized

Chilean Nitrate was made to the cot

squaring. The corn was side-dressed

The per acre yield results from 289

about the same as they obtained at

the farmer may expect such returns
when he follows the same general
practices.
For the 174 corn side-dresaing
