National Roads Survey
Aids Highway Planning
Surveys to guide the planning of
future highway improvements are
progressing rapidly in 46 states and
the District of Columbia, according
to the annual report of the U. S.
public roads administration. These
surveys, jointly financed and con
ducted by the road administration
and the state highway departments,
include complete inventories of all
rural roads and detailed studies
of highway traffic, and highway
finance.
The report states that one of the
most generally useful products of
the planning surveys is a series of
large-scale state and county maps.
The county maps, generally on a
scale of one inch to one mile or
greater, show, in addition to trans
portation facilities, all physical fea
tures and man-made improvements,
and will form (he first up-to-date and
comprehensive series of county
maps ever made. Other series of
maps to be drafted on the base
maps show highway and other trans
portation systems, bus and truck
routes, postal routes, school-bus
routes, and traffic volume.
The 1940 federal census will be
more complete because of this map
ping work, according to the report.
For the first time the boundary lim
its around the settled areas of un
incorporated urban communities of
800 or more population have been
established in 29 states, making pos
sible census reports for such com
munities.
Field surveys, which form the
basis of the map work, and also an
inventory of the present extent and
condition of all rural roads, have
been completed iu 43 states, covering
an aggregate of 2,748,853 miles, the
report states.
In co-operation with the Associa
tion of American Railroads pertinent
facts relating to rural and urban
grade crossings are being supplied.
This information will be combined
with data from a field inventory o(
the crossings and with traffic counts
to develop new improvement pro
grams in which first attention will be
given to the most dangerous cross
ings.
Field work on the traffic surveys
has been completed in all but nine
states, according to the report. At
3,237 stations the weights of trucks,
commodities carried, and other data
trucks and truck-trailer combina
tions. Information on the weights
and dimensions of buses and num
ber of passengers carried was also
obtained.

THE CONTINUING TASK
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 28:16 80.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall be witnesses
nnto me . . . unto the uttermost parts of
the earth.—Acts 1:8.
World conquest! The dream of dic
tators and of national leaders down
through the ages is to be accom
plished, for there is One who has
the authority to claim such a place
of leadership who will one day rule,
for then "the kingdoms of this
world" will have become "the king
doms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and He shall reign for ever and
ever” (Rev. 11:15). While we await
His coming to take the throne are
we to sit idly by? No indeed, for
even now Christ has all authority
and He has commissioned His fol
lowers to go out and to serve Him in
all the world by making disciples in
every nation.
I. The Obedient Disciples (vv. 16,
17).
The Lord never fails to keep His
Word, but often His followers miss
great blessing because they fail to
keep their appointments with Him.
He had told His disciples that after
His resurrection He would meet
them in Galilee, and we read that
they met Him at the appointed
place. One trembles to think of
what they and we might hav*
missed if they had failed to meet
Him.
His promise to us is just as true
and definite. "Where two or three
are gathered in my name, there am
I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:
20) applies to us today. If we meet
Him at the appointed place, bless
ing will come to us and will flow out
through us to all the world.
Observe that “some doubted,”
that is, they were perplexed and un
certain about the risen Saviour. If
they persisted in their lack of faith
we know that it must have shut them
out of a great blessing, but at the
same time it did not hinder the
Lord’s gracious ministry to His oth
er disciples.
11. The All-Powerful Leader (v.
18).
Quietly and without any fanfare,
Jesus announced that all power was
given unto Him; or as the Revised
Version more appropriately trans
lates the word, "all authority." He
does have all power, but He has
more. He has the supreme authori
ty which gives Him the right to rule
over the entire creation, heaven and
earth, spiritual as well as material.
No man in his right mind has ever
laid claim to authority over even so
much as the earth, but here is One
who without hesitation or qualifica
tion declares that to Him has been
given all authority in heaven as well
as in earth, that is, over the entire
creation. Surely it is God Himself
who here speaks to us.
111. The Great Commission (vv.
19, 20a).
"It is the sublimcst of all specta
cles to see the risen Christ without
money or army or state, charging
this band of 500 men and women
with world conquest and bringing
them to believe it possible and to un
dertake it with serious passion and
power. Pentecost is still to come,
but dynamic faith rules on this
mountain in Galilee” (Dr. A. T.
Robertson),
Such faith and such a commis
sion call for a worldwide mission.
The church or individual without a
worldwide missionary vision assur
edly does not have the viewpoint of
Christ, Observe also that it is an
evangelistic mission. We are not
called to entertain the world, nor
primarily to improve the social or
der. Our business is to "make dis
ciples," that is, true followers of Je
sus Christ, which they can only be
come through accepting Him as Sa
viour and Lord.
Such a ministry will inevitably be
a teaching ministry. "Faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God” (Rom. 10:17). How foolish
is the preacher or evangelist who
fails to teach the Word of God. It is
His appointed method which cannot
fail. Christian baptism is also a
vital part of the Great Commission.
It was first practiced at Pentecost
(Acts 2) and later in the Church
(Acts 8 and 10).
IV. The Abiding Presence (v. 20b).
There is no other statement of fact
(for it is more than a promise) any
where or by anyone that can com
pare with the assurance of Christ
that He is with His witnesses al
ways, even unto the end of the age.
Consider first of all who Is to be
with us, namely, the Son of God,
the risen Christ, the One with all
authority in heaven and earth! Then
note that He is to be with His dis
ciples "always.” How important that
is, for as we well know, the inspira
tion of even the greatest human
leader largely goes with him to the
grave. The Lord Jesus, on the other
hand, is with each one of His chil
dren always. What assurance that
fact brings to every witness for
Christ as he gives himself joyfully
to the carrying out of the Great
Commission!

Lincoln Medal
A strange coincidence distin
guishes the Lincoln medals struck
at Chicago early in 1865 from oilier
varieties commemorating our mar
tyred President. The obverse die,
showing a bearded bust of Lincoln,
cracked after a few impressions and
had to be reinforced, and this crack,
says an official of the Detroit Coin
club, is clearly visible on the med
als. It extends from below the right
eye down through the lobe of one
ear and across the metal surface in
a course similar to that taken by
the assassin's bullet on April 14,
1 1065.

PROFITS from, cotton dwindle when the
crop cannot get enough potash. Cotton rust
is potash starvation. Decreased yields, more
wilt injury, and poor quality lint and fiber
result when soil and fertiliser do not supply
plenty of this important plant food. Experi
mental work has shown that the value of
the crop can be reduced as much as $25
per acre due to lack of potash.
A recommended application at planting
time is 400-600 pounds, per acre, of a fer
tiliser containing G-10% potash. At chop
ping time, more can be added in a nitrogen
potash top-dresser containing the equivalent
of 50-100 pounds of muriate of potash.
