A short definition of LEAVEN would be —a substance added to dough to cause it to rise. In very early times leaven was made from a fine white bran kneaded with the meal of certain plants such as fitch or vetch and then allow ed to stand until it turned sour. In later days it was made from bread flour kneaded WITHOUT SALT and kept until it fermented. The use of leaven was strictly forbidden in most of the offerings brought by the Jewish people to the Temple. The reason for this was that since the offerings was to be a type of purity, the leaven which would cause corruption and decay would naturally also cause the offering to become impure. To the Hebrews anything in the process of decay was unclean and it was most essential to their re ligion that they abstain from any thing that would cause them to become ceremonially unclean or BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

This is an in crease of seven percent, points out Director L. W. Eberhardt, Jr., of the Extension Service. ACID SOILS STEAL PROFITS Acid soils are stealing pro fits on many Georgia farms, says Agronomist P. J. Ber geaux of the Extension Ser vice. He adds that the way to eliminate acid soils is by ap plying lime based on soil test recommendations. defiled. Leaven, then, when mentioned in the 0. T. is a symbol of evil. In the N. T. its symbolic meaning is shown in “evil doctrine” such as was taught by the Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians. The leaven of the Pharisees was a re ligious ritual without the spirit or compassion of God within their hearts. The leaven of the Sad duces was the fact that they did not believe in the supernatural and therefore had no hope of a life after death and that of the Hero dians was the spirit of compro mise with the world. All of these examples of “lea ven” can be found within the bounds of each and every Chris tian community and even as a lit tle leaven (or yeast) will infiltrate the whole of a batch of dough so will a little of ritualism, a little of skepticism, a little of worldly compromise affect the whole body of Christ.
