Bryan county sweet potato grow
ers can increase their production
by using vine cuttings. June 15
is about the latest that vine cut
tings can be made an<l reasonably
expect a profitable yield of sweet
potatoes. Earlier plantings are
best as a long growing season in
creases the yield. Vine cuttings
are very important as it helps eli
minate dises^Be, especially black
rot and scurf. It is not a cure-all,
but it will do more than any one
single practice to control disease.
For this reason seedstock should
always be saved from vine cuttings.
Dip lower part of cuttings in a
solution of Semesan Bel made by
dissolving one pound to 15 gallons
of water, and plant immediately.
For smaller amounts use two
—ounces to two gallons of water.

Serve By Sharing
Lesson for June 7, 1953
AFIELD of soy beans in North
Carolina; 97 head of steers in
Colorado; a calf and eggs in Blos
som. Texas; 1500 boxes of apples
in Washington, hogs in North Da
kota and chickens in Wisconsin.
What ties all these together? These
and hundreds of other products
grown on farms were "Lord’s
Acre" and "Lord’s Livestock”
projects last year. Thousands of
people in every part of the nation
have been joining in such plans for
more than 22 years now. The idea
is to dedicate to
the Lord's service
a field, some head
of cattle, whatever
the farmer or
housewife owns or
can grow. The
projects are
varied; they are
generally success
ful; but the great
est success has
been in the happi-
mi
Dr. Foreman
ness and satisfaction of those who
have worked on these things.
* ♦ ♦
Themselves First
The innumerable people who
shared in dedicating their work in
this way to God and his cause,
have simply turned into action and
experience what St. Paul laid
down long ago to the church at
Corinth. The Corinthian Christians
were city people, not country peo
ple; but they were poor, not rich
Paul is urging th^m to give what
they could, as they could; and in
doing so brings out at least four
principles of right giving.
First and foremost is that the
best givers had first of all given
their own selves to the Lord. The
church has learned long ago that
St. Paul was right. You can’t ex
pect big contributions or hard
work from those who are still es
sentially selfish. You have to cori
vert a man s heart before you can
convert his money. And even it
you gave God everything but you:
self, you would not yet have give:,
the very thing He wants most
of all.
• • •
Sharing the honor (
“They simply begged us to ac
cept their gifts and so let them
share the honor of supporting their
brothers in Christ.” So Phillips
translates II Cor. 8:4. Paul is de
scribing the way in which the
churches up in Macedonia had
contributed to what we would cal!
the benevolent funds. Christian giv
ing is all in the way the giver looks
at it. If it is thought of a; a bur
den, if it is thought of as something
only the wealthy can rightly do, If
it is thought of as something the
preacher keeps begging for, a
kind of chore at best, then of
course the giving won't be much. It
will be only enough to keep from
giving nothing at all. But giving
in the cause of Christ, for the use
and help of God's people, is an op
portunity, not a chore. There is all
the difference in the world between
the giver who says tin effect),
"Well, if you must have some
thing . . and the one who says,
"Do let me get in on this.”
* * •
The Lord Loves
The Bible does not encourage
any one to fancy that he can buy
his way into God's favor. God's
smile is not for sale. God loves a
cheerful giver, even though He sel
dom turns away givers of any
sort. A sour and selfish man might
be high-pressure into gloomily
squeezing a few dollars into the
church budget, and those dollars
will do some good; but the Bible
does not suggest that God cares
much for that sort of giving. Giving
till it hurts may be good; but
giving till it doesn't hurt is better!
We remember Jesus' comment on
the offering of the wealthy Phari
sees and the poor widow. Is there
any one who can think God loved
her and them alike?
Carrying Through
So there are three principles of
Christian giving: personal dedica
tion. a sense of privilege in shar
ing God’s work, and enthusiasm.
At Paul puts it (again Phillip's
translation): "Show that you can
complete what you set out to do with
as much efficiency as you showed
readiness to begin.” (II Cor, 8:11.)
A good Lord's Acre project calls
for more than enthusiasm in the
springtime. It has to have hard
work most of the summer. The
work of the church, and indeed
every undertaking for the welfare
of mankind, is best carried on
not by those who blow all their
steam at once, but by those who
save up some steam for the long
steady pull. Long mileage is worth
mpre than a flashy start

Lewis' Move Into
New Home on Judith
And Circle Drives
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lewis and son,
Byron, have completed the process
of moving into their new home on
Judith and Circle Drives. The
home, which was built by J. Dixie
Harn, is one among many of the
new dwellings which have con
tributed to the development of the
Camellia Drive section.
Covered with slate grey asphalt
shingles, the pink wrought iron
work around the front entrance
with pink paneling flanking the
doorway lend it a definite air of
distinction. Some landscaping has
already been done on the spacious
grounds and Mr. Lewis states that
they plan to do more.
The dwelling is of the combina
tion living-dining room type, with
the kitchen windows overlooking
both the front and back yards.
Plastic tile was used in the bath
room, which with the two bed
rooms and living-dining room, make
up this completely modern home.
