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 i j I Ill » | j * ! • I % I m Wf \ N | !

Jesus here teaches tw<, 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.

[ and in that trust, to accept every thing He says, to accept every j faith,—will possibility He has offered to our j become strong in us. 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 tercession that by having inter course with our God in prayer, We ma y Become men of faith, whom God can use in His work of saving the world? 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,” | a done. ways meats Once there the Master.; “Weil great j . was a | Thousands n were “out hr eld 1 and here the demand for Chris- ) i tian service reached the heart of I | a little lad.

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.

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. Signs , of growth: When small.

Food Crops Aid j In Comeback of ! i 1 Ga. FSA Farmer i I Time flies! Harley W. Bailey, Lincoln County farmer, was be- | ginning to realize that back in ! 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. I The fall of ’35 found them with a ! little meat ’ a little corn and a net worth of $ 100 . j A neighbor told him of the FSA , i program and skeptical but grasp I ing at the proverbial last straw signed an application and j was was approved approver.. i The. years rolled by and pheno | minally the bad luck changed to 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, debts were things of the past, and j for in the the bank. first time On there the farm was money there ' were two of the best mules a man j cou j d want, two good milk cows, a flock of 36 purebred chickens, a j ^ putr^ggs^nnlJand j Surplus livestock ~ products t j butter. were bringing in a nice cash m j eome. They were living at home i and liking it and making it pay. j yes, the Baileys prospered! At I h ’ innin „ of 1941 they are 1 ® 1 d over paid in their obli ' gation to the . . v ; , the bank as operating capi a or this year, and Bailey is buying 1 the 110 farm he is now on. acre ! Bailey is a cotton farmer who ! has successfully combined the raising of that staple crop with 1 P lenty of home g rown food and * ! teed for family and livestock needs. He is a firm believer in j ! soil improving crops and soil con serving practices and plants both I winter and. summer legumes. Bai- ; ley took over $400 of his own money and made repairs to his house and out-buildings, and his home has been recently wired for REA power. According to Mrs. Effie Gay, FSA supervisor of Lincoln County, the Baileys are the most outstand ng farm family in the county. Mrs. * 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 tables for home consumption in addition to a surplus for sale,” Last year the income of the t family was over $820 with $679 of that sum being made in cotton.

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.” “The Baileys’ loyalty to the pro .is I STREAMLINER TOUR 1 TO BOSTON $68.75 10 DAYS $68.75 Covers All Necessary Expenses, Except Meslj MONTHLY PAYMENTS CAN BE ARRANGED Leave June 26 — Return July 6 Attend National Education Association Conventio?

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.
