Newton County 4-H boys and girls are joining
4-H’ers all over the nation in observing National
4-H Week, September 25-October 2, This is a
very special week to expand 4-H Club membership
in every county and state in our nation. An effort
is being made to offer 4-H training to more boys
and girls between 9 and 19 years of age,
Since one-third of the 4-H members today live
in towns, suburbs, and cities, the program is
adapted so include projects to meet their needs,
»An additional one-third live in rural areas, but
not on farms, so they must depend on certain pro
jects for their work,
As our country expands, so must 4-H club work
and projects, For this reason, 4-H continues to be
one of the nations leading youth organizations,
Our 4-H Clubs are among other things, training

Ethose soothsayers official and private who keep
telling us that the silverless, ‘‘klunk’’ quarters

as valuable as the clinking silver variety to which
we are so long accustomed, If the mineral

'we wonder why such an otherwise 'mtelligeni
ifellow as Alexander Hamilton failed to argue
against using silver and gold in our money in
ithe first place. And when we test mathematically
the contention that a coin which can be minted for
only 2¢, because it contains no precious metal,
ihas and will continue to have the same value as
one made with silver at a cost of 23¢ -~ for some
reason it doesn’t balance out. Maybe we need a

We (meaning us taxpayers) have already footed

at least for the moment, that this expenditure
was justified in the interest of scientific develop

though the proposed additional circuit at lower

really worthy purpose. We also doubt, unless they

of their fellow astronauts, that Messrs, Cooper

of the old-f'ashioned variety, But we’ll wager two
of those new quarters against one of old kind that
most of those who now insist that there is no
difference will one day be checking their change
as they approach that vending machine and will
deposit the klunker instead of the clinker if they
happen to have one of each,
Probably the most vivid proof of the difference
in value between the silver and the silverless
quarters is the fact that no sooner had the new
ones begun klunking out of the minting machines
than politicians began arguing over how to spend
the extra money Uncle Sam will acquire by making
coins for 2¢ and selling them to American citizens
at 25¢, That strikes us as a sort of counterfeit

The cost of the war in Viet Nam, even if it remains
confined to that country which is by no means sure,
is destined to reach enormous proportions., The
special appropriations so far made, though large,
are only of a stop-gap nature and will meet only a
small part of the bill, The result will be budget
deficits far beyond any so far forecast. And no one
can foresee the end,

After all these bills were met, seven cents
remained. This was the profit. But only about
half of it was paid in the form of dividends to the
owners of these businesses, The other half was
used for reinvestment within the businesses them

Joseph: Achieving Character
Young People=Adult Topic:
Joseph: Achieving Character
History is most interestingly
and effectively discussed through
the use of biography., In the
three=month series of lessons
that follows we encounter the
biographies of Old Testament
figures whose lives and mess=
ages have greatly influenced the
effect of religion (Jewish and
Christian) on the life of the
world, This series of biograp=
hies begins with an account of
the almost incredible career of
Joseph, The Jews are a bright
and able people, but never in
the whole of Jewish history has
any figure displayed more un
usual talents than did this Jos
eph, He is by all odds the
most brilliant Jew that ever
lived—and that is saying con=-
siderable, for the Jews are an
able race,
Our lesson today contains only
a few verses of scripture, The
narration of tne whole Joseph
story requires fourteen chapters
of the Book of Genesis, In
these chapters one encounters an
entrancing narrative, No one
could have made up a story
such as this and foisted it upon
readers as historical fact, The
personality of Joseph comes thr=-
ough the narrative, and the in
fluence of this man is so strong
in the history of the Hebrew
people that when Moses led the
enslaved Hebrews out of Egypt
they carried before them the
bones of Joseph, who had died
several centuries before,
Although their sojourn in Egypt
resulted finally in slavery, the
four hundred years spent there
turned the Hebrews from an
ignorant nomadic tribe into a
well-disciplined, trained, and ed
ucated nation, They would never
have been ready for their great
world service had they not spent
those formative and influential
years in Egypt, one of the great
centers of learning in the world
at that time, a nation whose cul
ture amazes the world to this
day, It was through Joseph
that the Hebrews went down into
Egypt and received this training,
This was probably his great=-
..est_contribution to the fulfillment
~“of God’s will among his people
and through them among the nat
ions of the world,
The patriarch Jacob also bore
the name Israel. Polygamy was
an accepted custom in those days,
and Jacob had four wives., The
love of his heart was for Rachel,
by whom he had a son, Joseph,
child of his old age.
Jacob loved this son as only
a doting old father could love
a child born to him in his later
years by his favorite wife, He
showed him a partiality that en=
raged the other eleven children
in Jacob’s family, The child
was singled out for honors which
placed him above his half-broth=
ers, most of whom were adults
of mature years, Very unwisely
Jacob made for Joseph a coat
of many colors which in itself
signified a position of preced
ence, almost of royalty, The
child, being accustomed to such
unwise treatment, boasted about
his superior position, to the im=
measurable rage of his brothers,
Joseph was a great dreamer,
In fact, his life grew out of
dreams, was founded upon
dreams, and was great because
he knew how to turn dreams
into reality, There appears to
have been nothing the boy liked
better than to teli about his
dreams, And since his audience
was generally his surly, resent=
ful brothers, he found himself
growing more and more un
popular in his own household,
He had dreamed of sheaves of
grain in a field, and a certain
sheaf representing Joseph had
risen and stood upright, ¢‘and,
behold,” said Joseph to his broth
ers, ‘“your sheaves stood round
about and made obeisance to my
sheaf,”” Hisdreamsevenbecame
so fantastic that ‘the sun and
the moon and the eleven stars
made obeisance to me,” said

the impudent youngster, Even
his father, who usually approved
of anything the boy said or did,
became angry about this dream
and demanded: ¢‘Shall I and thy
mother and thy brethren indeed
come to bow down ourselves to
thee to the earth? And his
brethren envied him; but his
father observed the saying,’’
They got their hands on the
young boaster when he came
to bring them a message from
their father and to inquire about
their welfare, At first they
planned to kill him, Then at
Reuben’s suggestion they cast
him into a pit in the wilderness,
which was evidently a ruse on
the part of this older brother
to save the boy’s life and come
back later and rescue him, But
Midianite merchants were pass=-
ing at that time, so they sold
the boy into slavery, and when
the Midianites reached Egypt they
sold him to a certain Potiphar,
““an officer of Pharaoh’s and
captain of the guard,”’
In Potiphar’s household Joseph
encountered temptation, for Pot
iphar’s wife was brazenly ime
moral and tried to seduce the
young slave, Under these cir
cumstances Joseph began to re
veal his true character, ‘‘My
master ~ . . hath committed
all that he hath into my hand;
there is none greater in this
house than I ~, how then could
I do this great wickedness and
sin against God?”’ But the
thwarted and rejected womande=
cided upon revenge, snatched
Joseph’s outer garment off him,
and accused him of attempting
to assault her, showing the gar
ment as evidence of a struggle.
So Joseph the slave found him
self in prison,
But even here he soon demon=
strated his administrative abil=-
ity to such an extent that the
¢‘keeper of the prison comm=
itted to Joseph’s hand all the
prisoners that were in the pri
son; and whatsoever they did
there, he was the doer of it,”’
Then by chance two men had
dreams, Here was Joseph’s
chance, for he was an expert
in dream interpretation, He
prophesied that one man would
be restored to the king’s favor
and the other man executed, And
events turned out precisely as he
said, ‘““Make mention of me unto
Pharaoh,” pleaded Joseph as the
chief butler now restored to
Pharaoh’s favor departed for the
palace, But of course the chief
butler did not remember Joseph,
¢‘put forgot him,”’
Then the great Pharaoh him=-
self had a dream, and none of
his wise men could interpret it
In Pharaoh’s dream ‘‘seven kine
(cattle), fat-fleshed and well
favoured, came up out of the
river and fed in a meadow, but
seven kine, very ill-favoured and
lean-fleshed came up out of the
river, and the lean and ill-fav=-
oured kine did eat up the first
seven fat kine,””
Also seven ears of corn came
up in one stalk of grain, ‘full
and good: and, behold, seven
ears withered, then, and blasted
with the east wind sprung up
after them: and the thin ears
devoured the seven good ears,’”’
Pharaoh told the dreams to his
magicians, but there was none
that could interpret them,
Then the chief butler, who
had been restored to Pharaoh’s
favor and had known Joseph in
prison, told his majesty of this
unusual young Hebrew, and Phar
aoh sent for Joseph, The young
man’s interpretation of the dream
was simple: there will be seven
prosperous years followed by
seven years of famine, Select
a man, advised Joseph, craftily,
who will arrange to have the
grain stored during the years of
prosperity that the people do not
starve in the years of famine,
And of course Pharaoh concluded
that there was no one in his
realm brighter than this young
Hebrew, Joseph wasaccordingly
made a royal favorite, arrayed
in fine linen and with a gold
chain about his neck, and he
rode in the second chariot imm=
ediately behind Pharaoh,
Joseph’s good fortune had at
last arrived, Whathe had dream=
ed about himself had not been
far wrong, He was now second
in command in the greatest nat
ion in that part of the world,
The food-storing enterprise was
2 merciful success, and thou

By Rev., Wilbur V, Hartley,

In the first book of the Bible,
chapter 5, verse 24, we read
of a man who walked with God.
«and Enoch walked with God:
and he was not; for God took
him,”” In the New Testament,
Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 5,
we have more information about
this man, ¢By faith Enoch was
translated that he should not
see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him:
for before his translation he
had this testimony, that he
pleased God,”’
This is a challenge to all
men, even in this our day, for
it tells us that it is possible
to walk well pleasing before God.
Now God never changes, and as
He examined Enoch’s walk and
was pleased, He so examines
our walk, The question is, is
He pleased with our walk?
The Christian life is the eas
ier life, When we follow the
trend of the world and it’s sin
fulness, it only leads to con=-
fusion and despair, walking
without God takes us into heart
ache and heartbreak, into trouble
and crime, It takes us into the
weary struggle for existance in
a land of plenty, but it is a
struggle because it is a walk
without God. Yes, the Christian
walk is an easier walk, because
we walk with God, Try it!
Walking with God is a climb,
it is to gain altitude, climbing

into the pure atmosphere of holy
living where man is well pleas~
ing before God, To walk with
God means that we are going
in the same direction God is
going, and employed at the task
that lies nearest to the heart
of God, winning souls,
Walking with God means belief
in the God-man, Jesus Christ
as our Substitute, our Sinbearer,
our Security, our Lord and King,
To walk with God means surr
ender to God of our opinions,
our self-security, our self~-
effort, and our carnal ambitions,
It means an enlistment for God,
service for Him anywhere, any~
time, under any circumstances,
When a change in social or
business relationship is contem=
plated, he who walks with God
will first of all determine how
the proposed change will affect
his connection with God, Will
it enhance and strengthen or
will it weaken and break his
connection with God, leaving him
to walk alone without God, walk=
ing with God involves a persis=
tant endeavor to hold the whole
life open to God’s inspection,
Your walk with God will often
be a reproof to the restless
ambitions and vain pursuits of
our generation,
Walking with God is comm=
itting to Him ourselves and our
problems, knowing that He will
take care of us even as He cares
for the birds and the lilies, Walk=

anxiety, released from burdens,
and life becomes joyous and vic=
