Jesus Christ our Lord beauti
fied all of his contracts He came
in touch with little children and
He touched babyhood into beau
ty. No pagan writer said any
thing about the golden days of
childhood. Childhood had nc
golden days for 2 pagan. All of
the child welfare work of our
modern world came into exis
tence because two thou sand
years ago Jesus, the Son of God
and the world’s greatest Teacher, t
said “‘Suffer the hittle children
to come unto me and forbid them |
not for such is the Kingdom of !
Heaven’'.
As we have often said, you
pever see a man with an electric
chair hanging to his watch fob.
You never see anybody wearing
a necklace with a man harging |
by his neck attached to it. The
cross, before Jesus hung upon
it, was far more horrible than
the electric chair or a schaffold
upon which we hang men. Yut.i
people wear crosses about their
pecks. They wear them on t.heir‘
watch fobs and they put them on
their churches and lizht them
with electricity. We sing in our
churches, 'ln the Cross of Christ
1 glory, towering over the wrecks l
of time”. Jesus touched thel
eross into beauty.
Today our bodies are pulsating
with life, tomorrow we die, decay
set in, and the dead bodies have
to be buried. We live - all of our
earthly life in the shadow of the
grave. Two thousand years ago|
Jesus went into the tomb. 1t wasl
a dark tomb. He stayed Lhere%
three days nights, and there He
lighted a lamp and left it tmrning‘
and walked ot of the grave F‘orl
t o thousand years there has
beeua.light,hurningin\.he grave l
of our Christian dead Jesus ',ur|
Bav.or took away thestingof|
death. i
Recently I heard a minister
gay ‘‘thcre are only two prop
jems in tl is world. Une is the|
sio problem, and the other is the
death problem.” After all, there
« only one problem. If there had
been no sin there would have |
been no sorrow. Death is the%
inevitable resuit of sin. Jesus
Christ bore our sin inp His!
body on the cross. He is th |
solution of the sin problem. “He!
is able to save into the utter-!
most’’. There are no hopeless
cases. No man ever sank to such
debths but the grace of God
could reach him. No man was
every so enslaved by sin but the
grace of God could break the
chains of slavery. “‘lf the Son
shall make you free, you shall be
frec indeed’’.
Second and Third Grade Tcwn,{
The second and thi:d grades!
bave built a town. We tried to)
make our town lock exactly like |
Alamo. |
We w nt to town to see how%
Alamo lcoked.
One group drew the streets |
and roads. !
Another groupe made houses. l
Some of the others made pub-: |
lic buildings, filling stations, |
trees and telepho- e posts.
We shall be glad to have you
eome and see our town., |

Quite a [ew boys in the Voca
tional Agriculture classes at the
Whesler County High S:shool,
aecording to F. D Palliam,
teacher of Vocational Agricul
ture, have decided to enter the
Essay Contest now being con
ducted in High schools having
Departmentsof Vocational Agri
culture throughout the state.
Sponsored by the Division of
Agricultura] Edveation of Geor- i
gia in cooperation with the
Chilean Nitrate Educatioal
Bureau, Inc., this contest like
last year, is intended to develop
interest in and encourage study
of the rarer elements in crop
production and animal nutrition.
l “Lastyea ', says Mr, Pulliam,
(“twelve boys in this state won
prizes for their éssays. and one
of them, Joe Gandy, of Pelham,
Georgia, tock first in the state
of Geurgia That! certainly ought
to encourage the boys this year,
and I am expecting them to turn
{in some splendid essays’’.
“Os course we have known for|
some time that there is a lot
more to crop fertilization than
just applying varying samounts
of nitrogen, potash and phos
phate. Recent experiments, con
ducted by authnrities, have
shown us thata lot of elaments
like magnesium, iodine, copperl
and zine are necessary ton, This
contest provides the best way T
have found for us to study the
subject. and the ")=‘>y:- are looking |
foward to it as much as [ am.” .
