,. Paul says (Romans 12:2), “Be
not conformed to this world: but
be ye transformed by the renewing
of vour mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.” How is
this resuscitation of human thinking
to be brought about? By turning
humbly to God and letting Him
govern our thoughts, our desires, our
whole lives. God’s will for all is
harmony and well-being. How im
portant it is, then, to watch our
thoughts to see that they are not
conforming to mere worldly stand
ards hut are pleasing to God. . . .
A little boy who had won first
place in a flower-growing contest,
on account of his large and beautiful
specimens, was asked how he had
raised such blossoms; for it was
known that he had only a small
and unfertile plot on which to grow
them. He answered simply, “1 saw
the blQssoms when I planted the
seeds.” Mow well this illustrates
what Jesus meant when he said
(Matthew 18:3), “Except ye be con
verted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom
of heaven”! A pure, childlike trust
in God, good, brings harmony into
our lives. *
Thoughts ire the seeds we are
planting in life’s gard.eu, and they
will surely bear fruit. Whether the
h.u vest yields weeds or blossoms
depends on the kind of seeds planted.
To he receptive to good, and to let
God s will be done one needs to
know that man is God's reflection,
spiritual not material. A flower has
been likened to God’s smile, hut man
is His expression and manifests God’s
nature in every Godlike way.
1 hose who learn to live above
the discords of material sense dis
cover that there is no power in
matter. They learn that God is divine
Mind, everywhere present, governing
all; and as they awaken to behold
God’s omnipotence and omnipresence
they begin to see God’s law of har
mony prevail. Mary Baker Eddy
writes in “Miscellaneous Writings”
(p. 331, 332), “As mortals awake
from their dream of material sensa
tion, this adorable, all-inclusive God,
and all earth's hieroglyphics of Love,
are understood; and infinite Mind is
seen kindling the stars, rolling the
worlds, reflecting all space and Life,
—but not life in matter. Wisely
governing, informing the universe,
this Mind is Truth, — not laws of
matter. Infinitely just, merciful, an* 1
wise, this Mind is Love, — but no.
fallible love.” t
“The kingdom of God is within
you,” said the Master (Luke 17:211.
Each can ask himself, “Is my con
sciousness a kingdom where omni
potent good reigns'?” It matters not
what others are doing or thinking.
Our part in establishing the king
dom of heaven on earth is to estab
lish it first in our own hearts. This
will help others to accept God s
gracious p'-an. As we let His will
be done in us, we shall see more
and more of the blossoms and bless
ings of divine Love everywher \—>

One Million Lineal Feet
Of Terraces Are Built
On Farms In This County

During the past five months the

mon. '
Mrs. Ann Wilder of Washington Members of the the Howard
D: C., was a recent visitor of her Methodist church through their
easily cultivated with four or five
rows ont he terrace. Figuring one
million feet of terraces, 16 feet
wide would be 367 acres in the
terraces of the best land in the
field. If not cultivated, this would
give the county 367 acres of weeds
and grass.
The best way to lay off the
rows on new terraces is to use the
water channel as a guide. The
first row should be 2 1-2 feet from
the center of the channel. The
second row will be 2 1-2 feet from
the'center of the channel on the
other side. This makes these two
rows 5 feet apart with the water
channel as a middle, but still
carrying the water.
The other rows then can be
spaced according to the width the
rows are desired to be. For ex
ample if you are planting peanuts
in 30-inch rows, make the other
rows 30 inches apart. If planting
cotton in 42-inche rows, tnen make
the rows 42 inches. This will ap
ply to any crop planted. But be
sure the rows on each side of the
channelare wide.

tion on this subject are requested

servationist.
Gems Of Thought
Be yourself. Ape no greatness.
Be willing to pass for what you
are. A good farthing is better than
a bad soverign.—Samuel Coley.
The diligent fostering of a can
did habit of mind, even in trifles,
is a matter of high moment both
to character and opinions.—How-
son.
There is a wide difference be
tween speaking to deceive, and
being silent to be impenetrable.—
Voltaire.
Competition in commerce, deceit
in councils, dishonor in nations,
dishonesty in trusts, begin with
“Who shall be greatest?”—Mary
Baker Eddy.
Candor will lose you some
friends, but not as many as deceit.
—Young.
In all instances where our ex
perience of the past has been ex
tensive and uniform, our judgment
as to th future amounts to moral
certainty.—James Beattie.
In reasoning upon moral sub
jects, we have great occasion for
candor, in order to compare cir
cumstances, and weigh arguments
with impartiality.—Emmons.

the slums of Chicago to minister
to those in need. Martin Luther
had a safe, comfortable positiofi
in the Roman Catholic church, but
he had a sacred conviction which
the sale of indulgences violated.
He would not remain quiet. We
find him doing something about
this unfavorable condition.
Today convictions are rather &h-
popular; or at least when we do
something about them. It is con
ventional to be on good terms
with the minor vices of society.
We are told that it does not pay
to be too good; especially when
we are actively serving in this
realm. This idea is rather popu
lar, but we do not subscribe to
such thought.
The men who made history-
pushed from the shore. They were
the Norsemen who dared to sail
in search of new land, the Phoeni
cians whose mastery of the Medi
terranean made it possible for
them to push beyond the Pillars of
Herucles. What sent Columbus
forth on his great voyage? It was
that desire to do something worth
while. He saw an avenue in which
he could render a most efficient
service.
Man has two conflicting in
stincts. One urges him to keep
himself safe (service is indeed
secondary); the other sends him
out to do great things. This sec
ond instinct makes him raise his
eyes toward the horizon and won
der what lies beyond. It bids him
go.
"Many a man is ineffective be
cause he does not let down his
nets as deep as they were meant
to go”. (Prof. Peabody).
“To some are given at ease to lie
Content in anchored happiness;
Thy breath my full said swelling,!
across the broadening s?as would
press.
Joy! Joy! to see from every shbre
Whereon my step makes pressure
fond,
The sunrise reddening still before!
More light, more love, More life
beyond!"
The story is told of two little
lakes. Both stood amid the hills.
One decided to stand and enjoy
itself. It gradually dried up. The
other broke through tfoe mountains
and trickled down until it came
to a stream. It joined this and
went on until it came to a river.
Then it went on out into the
ocean. Finally one day the lake
which the water had left was sur
prised to see it coming back from
the clouds. This is the way of
life. Returns come through giving.
“Success is not reached at a single
bound,
But we build the ladder by which
we rise
From the lowly earth to tne vault
ed skies
And we mount to its summit
round by round.”
(obert Browning).
We are all writing books. Every
word, thought, and action is re
corded in this biography, and as
much as I might wish it, not a
line can be blotted out. Others are
doing and have done tne same.
Reviewing them pays. Go over
these books which record the
past and see what they picture in
advice for today. Many of them
tell of failures which we regret
beyond question. Others tell of
successes, tho there were times of
error. Never give up regardless.
“I came to my teacher with a
quivering lip,
My task undone;
‘Master, give me another sheet,
I hav spoiled this one.’
In place of the old sheet stained
an blotted,
unspotted,
He gave me a new one, clean,
And into my glad face smiled;
‘Do better next time, my child.”
“Ye are our epistles, written in
our hearts, known and read of all
men.” Thus St. Paul wrote to the
Church at Corinth
“He wrote no words save on the
sand
Long centuries ago.
And one would think that what
he said
Like sand would drift and blow;
But he knew well the surest way;
He made his love a pen
And wrote his message evermore
Upon the hearts of men.”
(A. W. Peak).

STATE POPULATION INCREASED
BY ALMOST TENTH OF MILLION
Georgia’s population increased
by almost 100,000 persons between
July 1, 1940 and July 1, 1942, ac
cording to reports by the Census
Bureau, based partly on ration
book registrations, partly on birth
and death statistics since the 1940
census, with allowances for net
immigration and strength of the
armed forces.
Population figures jumped from
3,129,911 in 1940 to 3,219,210 in
1942 in Georgia while many statF3
and sections of the country w*:re
losing in population, the bureau
reported.
Population shifts during the two
(year period added more than 2,-
300,000 residents to the south and
west portions of the country while
ihe north-central and n< rth-wes-
tern states were losing 450,000, the
report stated.
