SEE THE FARMER FILM
This month’s March of Time,
entitled “Uncle Sam--The Fann
er,” directs its attention to tin
U. S. scene and tells a dramat c
film story of the life, work am;
hopes and problems of the
million Americans today livin;
on 6 million U. S farms.
Whether in war or peace, tlu
March of Time points out, no job
of Government is more impor
tant than conservation of the na
tion’s wealth of manpower and
natural resources. T h e nm
shows in detail how the 11, t
Department of Agriculture today
is carrying out its gigantic task
of preserving and improving tin
billion acres of fertile soil that
comprise this country’s greates
single asset.
Economists agree that U. S.
agriculture has been a major na
tional problem chiefly because ol
the mistakes of farmers a n d
their Government 25 years ago,
during the First World War. I
The March of Time illustrates in]
vivid pictorial scenes the wide :
spread ravages of soil erosion j
caused by over-planting, floods
and dust storms that have car-'
ried away billions of tons of fer-!
tile top soil and left oidy desert!
wasteland.
The film focuses attention cnl
the familiar "county agent”
upon whom Uucle Sam relies
most of all to spread the doc
trine of sound forming.
In filming “Uncle Sam-The
Farmer,” the March of Time
cameraman went to farms, great
and small throughout the entire
country. Their story of the 321
million Americans who make
up the nation’s farming popula
tion is an up-to-the minute film
of special interest and impor
tance to every man and woman
in America today.
Every farmer and those inter
ested in his welfare, w h i c h
should include everybody, should
see this film, which is to be
shown in Perry today, Nov. 16.

WARNINGS AND PROMISES
LESSON TEXT—Matthew T:M4.
GOLDEN TEXT—And as ye would that
men should do to you. do ye also to them
likewise.—Luke 6:31.
“How to Win Friends and Influ
ence People” may be worthwhile to
study, unless it is done from a pure
ly selfish desire to be popular so j
that one may make more money ;
1 and get on in the world. Everyone j
should desire to make more friends
and better friends, and the Chris
tian in making friends should make
them for his Lord as well as for
himself. Actually the best of the
rules and suggestions offered on this j
subject are already an integral part ■
of Christian conduct as revealed in
the Word of God.
I. Avoid Judgment (vv. 1-5).
By not judging others censoriously
we escape such judgment of our
selves both by God and by our fel- \
low man. The admonition, “Judge
not,” obviously docs not mean that
we are not to exercise our God
given ability to discern between
good and evil, nor does it mean that
we are to stand silent in the pres
ence of wrongdoing. Verse 6 in
this very chapter calls for the use
of judgment (see also I Thess. 5:21).
In all such judgment we are to
avoid an unkind spirit and the hy- ]
pocrisy described in verses 3 to 5. j
We are to be certain that our own j
i lives are above reproach regarding
j that which we condemn (v, 5). The
none too common exercise of cor- .
reeling our own faults will serve a
salutary twofold purpose of improv- |
ing ourselves and of making us too
busy to find fault with others.
11. Be Reverent (v. 6).
While we are not to judge oth
ers, we are not to go to the opposite
extreme of being so lenient in our
attitude that we permit ungodly men
to profane and trample down sacred
things. This does not mean, as some
would have us believe, that we are
not to present the gospel to the low- j
est of sinners; for example, to a
drunkard. Only thus can such an
individual be saved. But it does
mean that in dealing with holy
things we are not only to be rev
erent ourselves, but we are to be
careful that we do not permit wick
ed men to misuse and to profane
the holy things of God.
111. Pray In Faith (vv. 7-11).
Here is a straightforward prom
ise from the lips of our Lord Him
self, assuring us that prayer will be
answered. It seems that He must
have foreknown that some would
feel that the promise was too good
to be true, so He stated it in three
fold form and repeated it twice. Why
not believe It, act on it, and re
ceive the answer?
Observe that there is to be im
portunity in prayer, we are to seek
if we would find. “Our Lord does
not guarantee to us anything at first
asking. God does not open His treas
ury to a passing bugle-call or the
tap of a careless hand which just
touches the door and then passes
on. Prayer is not a momentary wish
or a transitory whim. It is the ut
terance of a confirmed and persist
ent and unwearying longing. If you
want h prayer answered, you must
go on praying” (J. G. Greenhough).
We have included the so-called
Golden Rule under this section be
cause the word “therefore” links it
with that which goes before. Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan aptly says, “If
we omit the ‘therefore,’ we cannot
obey the verse. If we retain the
‘therefore,’ and are driven to ask,
to seek, to knock, and to know that
the Listener to the asking, to the
seeking, to the knocking, is our Fa
ther, then the rule is golden with
heaven’s own light, but in no other
way."
The Golden Rule is really the ful
fillment of the law and the proph
ets, but in the light of Christ’s glo
ry it is also a great principle of
Christian love and consideration.
IV. Walk in the Narrow Wav (vv.
j 13, 14).
The road to heaven is a narrow
| way because it is built to carry us
1 through the quicksands of this world
|to a glorious consummation. It is
I not a dismal road, for it is lighted
I by God's glory; and it is not a lone
| some road (even though few go that
way), because Jesus walks with us.
The road to destruction is broad.
The entrance is easy; there is much
company, but one soon finds that the
company is distasteful—just fellow
sinners. Jesus is not going that way.
The best people, God's people, are
going the other way. The road leads
into all kinds of by-ways where pit
falls abound. The earthly pleas
ures one thought to enjoy have, as
Maclaren puts it, “a strange knack
of losing their charm and at the
same time increasing their hold.”
Full of Grace
I will neither be content with what
measure of grace I have, nor im
patient of God's delay; but every
day I will endeavor to have one drop
added to the rest; so my last day
shall fill up my vessel to the brim.—
