THEY SAY By HUBERT DODD. "Another saying of His was this: ‘The Kingdom of God is as if a man scatter ed seed over the ground: he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how. Os itself the land produces the crop—first the blade, then the ear; aft erwards the perfect grain in the ear. But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come’.” Mark iv:26-29, Weymouth.) This is a parable about the Kingdom of God, and indicates that man’s part, whether in making a crop of corn or in salvaging souls, is secondary to the part God does. Man can sow and he can reap, and, of course, he does a little work; but after all has been said and, done, we have to recognize the truth of the words of Jesus that "Os itself the land produces the crop.” After the crop is ripe, however, man has the happy privilege of harvesting it. How foolish it is for a man to plant the seed in the spring, but in the fall be so lazy and no account that he will not go out to gather the cotton or corn or peas. And this is not more foolish than for Christian people of the church to sow the Word of God and then fail to harvest the crop. That is exactly what we have been doing too often. We have not sown too much, but we have reaped too little. Consequently, we have failed to gather into the channels of the church the tal ents that have ripened under the benevo lent influence of the Gospel. We have failed to challenge some of the best tal ent in the land. As a result the church goes limping along, suffering for a lack of leadership and teaching talent. The very best a man or woman is or has be cause of the love and mercy of God, man ifested in Christ, is due the Kingdom of God. And the church of God is foolish if it fails to challenge the best —foolish if it fails to reap the harvest of its sowing. We can not do anything much, except to sow’ and reap, so let us, by all means, not fail to do both. Let us heed the mes sage of a great hymn : Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of EVERYONE SEEMS l'v=-=-=-=7- TO BE USING Wrif/ijf _ ALKA-SELTZER \k>' \ THESE DAYS V-K 1 should think") I ft /(l_\A c, — THEY WOULD llM'v k W 1 W ..IT DOES \ \ U O| W WONDERS W'W 'L Vj| ;■ -, k \FORME XI < —A ' Millions of users feel that they get quicker, more pleas ant, more effective relief from ALKA-SELTZER than from old-fashioned unpalatable preparations.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 16,1939 GRACE (Installment XIV) By J. W. KING. We have found that grace is profitable for all things having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come (I Tim. i:8). So the grace of God is the basis of everything in time and eternity that is good and desirable. It is the basis of every fundamental Christian doctrine taught in the Bible. It is the basis of tlie doctrine of the resurrection of the body from the grave when Jesus comes the second time without sin unto salva tion. It is the basis of our hope of ob taining bread to eat day by day, of the oxygen that we breathe. It is the only basis for receiving the benefits of the atonement of Christ on the cross for our sins and our faiith in him which consti tutes the channel through which we re ceive that very grace by which we are saved, and receive every other favor both temporal and spiritual in this life and in eternity. And this applies to the unbelievers as well as the believer. So far as we are all dependent on him for them and as he has promised all alike to eat bread by the sweat of the broy, and thus meet the conditions of eating bread and yet you go on ignoring him and treating him with downright contempt as if you were not entirely dependent upon him for all these things and without which you could not live tin this world another minute. And as if his supply was not inexhaustible. Grace is even the basis of our social blessings and yet some of us abuse them as if they were trivial matters. How could we get pleasure out of this life if de prived of all social blessings? How could we get along without our churches and schools, lodges and clubs? And yet some of us, even some members, treat them as if they could do as well without them as with them ; not considering that with out them, we would all be savages. It seems to me that if all of us would take the time to sit down and seriously think about the inestimable value and all the benefits and products of all the divine favor —grace of God —we would appre ciate these great blessings more and try more to live more consistent lives as citi zens and especially Christians.

To Query Women All Over South Touring Reporters have now asked over 1,200 women and girls of leading Southern Cities the now famous question: “Were you helped by CARDUI?” Averaging all replies so far shows that 93 out of every 100 users questioned declared CARDUI benefitted them! Users by thousands are eager to tell how CARDUI has given them appetite; helped them gain strength; has thus relieved them of the symptoms of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition. Many also say that, when symp toms indicate the need, CARDUI in larger doses helps “at the time” to soothe pain. : T. J. ESPY, JR. Attorney-at-Law Summerville, Georgia. ! over McGinnis Drug Store.
