FIRST STEEL PLOW
A steel plow forged by an
American concern in 1887 h a s
been acquired by the Smithson

The plow was forged in Illinois.
NEED MORE HOGS
Those who have studied the
swine situation in Georgia de
clare that this state can profit
ably produce as much as 3,000,-
000 hogs every year. The last
census gave the hog production
of the state as 1,500,000.
COVER CROPS
Farmers of Georgia are going
ahead with their plans to seed a
large acreage to cover crops, de-|
spite the fact tiiat they will not 1
be able to secure winter legume
seed as grants of-aid under the
Triple-A program. Why? Sim
ply because they realize the val
ue of Austrian winter peas, vetch
and crimson clover as soil-build
ing and forage crops.
ENCOURAGING NOTE
One encouraging note was
sounded last week to farmers
when the Federal Surplus Com-1
modifies Corporation announced |
that pork lard, for the first time,
will be placed on the surplus list 1
for distribution to needy families.!
Representative Stephen Pace, !
America, has been urging this;
action for some time, and an in
creased consumption in lard is
foreseen with resulting returns

THE FORERUNNER OF THE
KING
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 3:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight.—Mat
thew 3:3.
When an earthly king visits his
dominions or makes a journey to
another land, great preparations are
made for his coming. Everything I
is done to expedite his journey and
to assure him of safety and com- I
fort. The United States and Can
ada have recently had that interest
ing experience. The King of kings
and Lord of Lords who in loving
kindness and gracious condescension
had come to earth to be our Re
deemer had now grown to manhood
and was prepared to enter on His
public ministry. God sent John to
be His forerunner to prepare the
way and to herald His coming.
I. A Herald Prophetically Fore
told (vv. 1,3, 4).
The coming of John (usually
called the Baptist) was of such vi
tal concern to God that He had re
vealed it to His prophets hundreds
of years before (see Isa. 40:3).
We should study and believe the
message of the prophets. The same
prophecies that pointed to John the
Baptist and Christ’s first coming
also point to the second coming
(Mai. 3:1-6; 4:1-6). We know the
former took place, why should we
doubt the fulfillment of the latter?
We do well to lake heed to the
word of prophecy (II Pet. 1:19).
Let us also prepare the way of
the Lord, not as John did, for his j
was a special ministry, but by mak
ing ways for the gospel to reach
the hearts of men. We can remove
hindrances and obstructions, prepar
ing their hearts to receive Him as
Saviour and Lord.
11. An Unusual Man with a Burn
ing Message (vv. 2, 6-12).
What an arresting appearance
John must have made as he
emerged to the edge of the wilder
ness to present his startling mes
sage! God had kept him (like Moses
and others) in the quiet of the des
ert where He could talk with him,
away from the distractions of so
called civilization. This simple liv
ing had made John a striking per
sonality, quite unusual and uncon
ventional. The man who strives
for such an appearance to attract at
tention is but a fool, but on the other
hand unconventionality will not de
stroy one’s usefulness if he has a
message from God.
The preaching of John was a burn
ing message of repentance. There
had been no prophetic message
since the time of Malachi, and in
the intervening 400 years the reli
gious life of the Jews had settled
j down into a barren legalistic formal
ity. John came with a simple, prac
tical, and plain-spoken indictment of
sin, which led to repentance and
which made religion vital and real
again.
We know that the gospel of the
grace of God in Christ goes far be
yond the preaching of John. But we
also know that the Church needs to
get back to the proclamation of a
vital heart-searching message, and
some genuine old-fashioned repent
ance. Then we like John will bring
men to Christ for salvation, for sanc
tification, for service.
111. A Humble but Privileged
Servant of Christ (vv. 13-17).
The crowning event in the min
istry of John was the recognition
of Jesus as He came to be baptized.
He was deeply conscious of his own
unworthiness for this great work and
pointed to the coming Saviour as the
One in whom they should put their
trust (vv. 11 and 14. See also John
1:29). John was not jealous of his
own position, nor seeking his own
advancement (see v. 3 and John
3:30).
To this faithful and humble serv
ant came the inestimable privilege
of baptizing the Saviour. The bap
tism of Jesus presents a mystery
which we cannot fully solve. It is
I certain that He did not come to be
1 baptized for the remission of sin,
for He knew no sin. The best ex
j planation seems to be that in His
obedience to His Father He was will
ing to subject Himself to every ordi
nance of God—a spirit which is not
too common, by the way, among
His professed followers. He was not
a sinner, but He took the sinner’s
place, and thus He both entered
upon His ministry and pointed for
ward to that day when God made
Him “who knew no sin” to be “made
sin for us” so that “we might be
made the righteousness of God in
; him” (II Cor. 5:21).
Gracious Amid Gloom
j Yet for all my Lord’s gloom, I find
Him sweet, gracious, loving, kind;
| and I want both pen and words to
set forth the fairness, beauty and
sweetness of Christ’s love, and the
honor of this cross of Christ, which
is glorious to me, though the world
thinketh shame thereof. Samuel
i Rutherford.

Thorvaldsen Born In Copenhagen
Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844)
was born In Copenhagen, but his
father was a woodcarver from Ice-
I land. At the Copenhagen school of
art he won the traveling studentship
and went to Rome in 1797. He be
gan to imitate the classic Roman
sculpture and scored his first big
success with his Jason. He did a
tomb for Pius VII in St. Peter’s,
and back in Copenhagen sculptured
a series of great statues of Jesus
and the apostles for the Fruen
kirche. Thorvaldsen died wealthy,
leaving much of his fortune to build
and endow an art museum in
Copenhagen.
Statue to Famous Dog
On the east drive of Central park,
New York city, there is a figure of a
bronze dog standing on a rock. The
tablet bears the following inscrip
tion: “Balto—Dedicated to the in
domitable spirit of sled dogs that
relayed antitoxin 600 miles over
rough ice, across treacherous wa
ters, through Arctic blizzards from
Nenana to the relief of stricken
Nome in the winter of 1925. En
durance. fidelity and intelligence.”
Considered Sherman’s Intelligence
When Gen. William T. Sherman
asked Judge S. D. Lecompte what
examination was necessary for him
to become a lawyer, the judge re
plied: ‘‘None at all. I’ll admit you
on the grounds of general intelli
i gencc.”
Are Not Insects
Spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites
are not insects, says Collier’s Week
ly. They belong to a class of ani
mals called Arachnida, which com
prises a host of marine creatures,
including the king crab.

Science Explains Allergy
Allergy is said to be a condition
in which the body is unfavorably
sensitive to particular foods, dusts
or other substances which produce
hay fever, asthma and other ills.
Studies show that it is caused by a
disorder of the adrenal gland, which
is sensitive to the amounts of salt
and potassium in the body.
China Pots ‘Cook’ Glass
The first step in making fine pol
ished plate glass is to melt sand,
soda-ash, lime and other ingredients
in huge clay pots holding more than
a ton of the molten glass. These
pots, about five feet in diameter,
are made of clays as fine as that
in high-grade table china. j •

The Atlanta Constitution
The South’s Standard Newspaper
Now Presents the Best Paper
In Its History
If you are not now subscribing to The Atlan
ta Constitution, or have not seen a copy recently,
you will be surprised at the improvement that
has been made, both in the makeup of the paper
and its contents.
The Constitution is presenting to its readers
unsurpassed news service, both local and world
wide. Local reports and correspondents gather
the news in Atlanta and the state of Georgia,
while national and world affairs are reported by
the Associated Press, the United Press and the
North American Newspaper Association.
In The Constitution you will find an unsur
passed sports page and numerous features for
every member of the family, On Sunday there
are 16 pages of comics in color, a four-page roto
section and dozens of features for all members
of the family.
There is also Dr. Geo. Gallup’s Forum of
Public Opinion. These polls conducted by Dr.
Gallup have been astonishingly accurate, and it
was one of the very few that correctly predicted
the outcome of the last presidential election.
If you want to keep abreast of the times, you
cannot be without The Constitution. See our
dealer in your town, and he will be glad to begin
delivery to you. If there is no dealer, or if you
live outside carrier district, write for mail rate
