THE DEVELOPMENT OF
FAITH
*« .......Have faith in God.”
Mark 11:22.
God „ , has , planned , ^ that x at t „
times the Christian should have
power for victorious living and
for success in the conflicts with
the forces of evil. What is the
condition by which this pc u, er
will operate in and through the
t Christian life? “Faith is the con
dition,” says Andrew Murray,
*on which all divine power can
enter into man and work through
him. This faith is living and
ective. It is a growing conii
dence and increasing assurance
in God and His present ability to
give what is needed.
“What faith is and how it
Works depends entirely upon the j

ifiVETING in Savannah recently,
a representative gathering of beer retailers declared
themselves “fully aware of the improved conditions”
resulting from this Committees Clean Up or Close Up
program—asserted that “this effort has won the respect
of the people of Georgia and the vast majority of retail
beer dealers in the state''—and pledged their complete
support to the Committee’s continued activity.
This Committee —and the law-abiding beer retailer —
ask your cooperation, too, in weeding out the comparative
ly few disreputable “black sheep” who use their legal beer
licenses to mask disorder and undesirable conditions.
Do not patronize such places. If you buy beer, buy it
only from clearly operated, orderly establishments.

Murray affirms. -Only when the
1 spiritual life is strong and in full

Spirit of God has full sway in
our life, is there the pftwer of
faith to do its mighty deeds.”
The disciples of Jesus on one
occasion ask H,m why they were

lessons of deep importance with
regard to prayer. The one, that j
faith needs a life of prayer in ,
which to grow and keep strong. j
The other, that prayer needs
fasting for its full and perfect de- j
velopment.”
Faith and prayer are insepara- ,
ble. “There can be no true pray- ;
ex-,” says Mr. Murray. "without j
faith; some measui'e of faith j
must precede prayer. And yet
prayer is also the way to more j
faith; there can be no higher de
trees ot faith except through
much pi-ayer. If we want to :

Many Christians cannot under
stand what is meant by the much
prayer they sometimes hear
spoken of; they can form no con
ception, nor do they feel the
need, of spending hours with God
But what the Master says, the ex
perience of His people has con
firmed: men of strong faith are
men of much prayer. . . Faith
needs prayer, for full growth.”
The place of fasting is beauti
fully pictured by Mr. Murray,
He says “Prayer needs fasting
THE COVINGTON NEWS
lor its full growth, that is the
second lesson emphasized by
Jesus. Prayer is the one hand
with which we grasp the invisi
ble; fasting, the other, with
j which we let loose and cast away
: the visible. In nothing is man
more closely connected with the
than . his . need , of .
world of sense in
food, and his enjoyment of it
! and the first thought suggested
by Jesus’ words in regard to
faeting and prayer, is that it is
only in a life of moderation and
temperance and self-denial that
there will be the heart or the
strength to pray much. . .
Fasting helps to express, to
deepen, and to confirm the 'es
olution that we are ready to sac
riJ ice anytning, to sacrifice our
selves, to attain what we seek for
the kingdom of God.
“Prayer is the reaching out af
tor God and the unseen; fasting
the letting go of all that is of the
seen and temporal.
Without voluntary separation,
ev en from the lawful, no one will
attain power in prayer; this kind
£ G eth out but by prayer and fast
ing.”
The Master emphasizes that
fasting and prayer are the paths
f 0 faith, strong faith that will
wrestle with difficult problems,
the casting out of devils and ov
ercoming great obstacles in the
WO rk 0 f Go d. It is true; faith
nee ds prayer for its full growth,
and prayer needs fasting to bring
it t 0 maturity. Shall we not then
deepen our prayer life, resort to
more personal sacrifice and self
denial, to fasting and strong in

THE SERVICE OF LOVE
“She hath done what she could.”
Mark 14:8.
There is no place for strain, fret
or worry in Chxstian service. “My
yoke is easy,” said Jesus, “and
my burden i s light.” The king
dom to which followers of Christ
are called is not
by slaves. Even the taskmaster,
Duty, who was wont to follow
with his scourge, goes before in :
the way, hand in hand with Joy. i !
The Master’s cause, leading the
CHRISTIAN SERVICE IS A
SERVICE OF LOVE. Love for Him
who gives the service; love from
him who serves. No task requir
ed is too ditlicult for the weakest;
no task unfitting the strong. To
j the least as well as to the greatest.
j the piomise is, “Ye shall receive :
power. And tne sole connection |
e ween that promised-power and 1
the accomplished task i s the love j
ottering of the servant’s little all. j
S e hath done what she could,” |

| Thousands n were “out hr eld 1
and here the demand for Chris- )
i tian service reached the heart of I
| a little lad. He had his middav
| iunch—but what was that among
so many? How many of us .could
have turned away from service
there! But love nut the lad's tit
tie in the hands of the Master
and the thousands were fed. We
often put up the excuse that we
are poor, weak worms of the dust
it may be that we are, but .the
emphasis is not put on ourselves. !
Our Lord has said, “All power
is given unto me both in heaven
^ven 1 the' end!'
always, unto Go ’
God wants me more than he wants
mine. He has made all that there
is, and could make rrioi'e if ne- i
cessary. But, he must have me in
order to use what He has—and
He can get me only if I give my
self. The little I have, lovingH
placed in the hands of God has
behind it all the infinite powei
of the Trinity. So, may we hasten
to make the complete consecration
that God may work with us and
through us to bless a needy world.

Time flies! Harley W. Bailey,
Lincoln County farmer, was be- |

1935. 47 at that time, t
today, Bailey was fast reaching j
the end of his farming road with ;
the security he had wished for his
family swept away by sickness,
poor crops, debts, and bad luck.

worth of $ 100 .

i The. years rolled by and pheno

j good. The Baileys prospered far
j i m0 re than they ever dreamed.
Crops that formerly failed grew j
i bountifully, the sickness that pla
j gued them disappeared by magic,

According to Mrs. Effie Gay,
FSA supervisor of Lincoln County,
the Baileys are the most outstand

* Gay said, “I always look forward
to a visit in the Bailey home with
J pleasure. Mrs. Bailey exceeds the
standard of conning for her family,
grows chickens, eggs and vege

70,000 Rural Ga.
Homes Now Use
Electric Service
Some 70,000 Georgia rural
homes are today enjoying the
benefits of electric service being
furnished through a network of
power poles and wires stretching
over thousands of miles of hills ______
and dales throughout the state.
J. L. Calhoun, rural electrific.a- :
!
tion specialist for the Extension
Service, points out that this num- i
her of farm homes represents an
increase of 20,000 over last yeai. j
Some «n.000 homes are receiving ,
power through REA-financed sy.v
terns, while commercial companies ;
are supplying energized lines to
the remaining 20 . 000 .
Over 16 million dollars have
been loaned to the 4.1 REA-fin
ance< f cooperatives in the state for
the construction of rural lines
i alone. Mr. Calhoun asserted. Upon
j completion of line construction for
which allotments have already
been made, the number of homes
being benefited by electric service
will be greatly increased, he add
ed.
Recent expansion of electricity
to Georgia farmers has meant a
Stamp Program
Not to Affect
AAA Payments
T. R. Breedlove, administrative
officer of the AAA, emphasizes
that the 1941 supplementary cot
ton program in no way affects the
amount of the regular 1941 con
servation or apritv payment under
the AAA program.
Twenty-five dollars is the max
imum amount of cotton stamps
which any farmer may receive un
der the 1941 supplementary pro
gram, except in th® case of per- i
sons having an interest in more
than one farm, or operators hav
ing two or more sharecroppers
In such events, thejv woull be eli
gible to earn up to $50 in stamps,
lie said. I
the Mr. only Breedlove limit placed pointed the out that j j
on eon
servtetion payment to be earned
in one year remains $ 10 , 000 , as it
j has been for the past two years.
' There is no limit on the parity
payment which any individual may
receive.
The $25 and $50 limits relate on
ly to the number of stamps which
a farmer may receive for partici
pation in the 1941 supplementary
cotton program, the state AAA of
ficial emphasized.
“What is more pleasant than a
cold bath before breakfast?” asks
a writer. That’s easy: No cold
bath.
;
Mrs. Gay said, "Their attitude is
good, cooperation excellent and
they have gone a long way toward
improving their condition. They
have stepped from tenancy to own
ership since being on the FSA pro
gram and they are carrying out a
practical live at home program
which will lead them far.”

members of the family are used as
“missionaries” to convince and
convert doubtful families. The
die-hards are soon won over by
the hard, cold facts of what the
FSA has done for them because as
Bailey says? "if it hadn't been for
FSA coming along when it did, I
hate to think what would have
happened to me and my family. I
didn’t have nothing when they
took me on in 1935 and now we
own our own farm and can look
