Seven Lepers Have Narrate Escape From Death While Angling at Sea

Honolulu, Hawaii.—From the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, island of Molokai, comes a tale of heroism Involving seven men in perU at sea. the desperate rescue of one who fell overboard, and the scaling of a precipitous cliff 2,000 feet high by one of their number in search of aid. after the boat had been beached in an almost inacfeasible spot on the rocky shore of Molokai. Thik was going on while air and surface vessels <>f the United States navy and ships and planes of the InterIsland steam Navigation company and Interlslnnd Airways were searching for the missing men. Five men left Kalaupapa to go fishing in a.n IS-foot sloop, temporarily rigged and without a keel. After they had been missing a few hours apprehension was felt at the settlement, and two other men set out in a 14fbot rowboat equipped with a 12-horse power outboard, motor to search for them. . The sloop, proved unmanageable when it encountered an tine'. ' strong east wind. William Kalama was washed- overboard by a heavy sea and was. rescued by Henry'Kawewehl, who leaped Into tlie sea from the drifting I boat and placed a line around Kalama. ® The sloop began to leak badly.

The five men, one of whom could i not swim, were stranded between the raging sea .and the precipitous cliff, which had never been waled. William Kailimn and Kanekoa Pu- ' nee. in the outboard motor boat, arrived about sunset and anchored about 50 yards off shore, fearing to come closer in the pounding surf. Kallima, realizing that one of the I. stranded party could not swim, ran ashore himself through the surf carrying a small line, intending to fasten, it to drift wood to help the .party aboard. On this lifeline the entire party reached the rescue boat, and Kallima, with all aboard, attempted to return to Kalaupapa. The overloaded boat > filled with water and began t<> sink.

GOLDEN TEXT—For 1 am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI Starts on a Great Trip. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI Begins an Adventurous Journey. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Missionary Adventures in Cyprus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Christianity at Court. I. Barnabas and Saul Return from Jerusalem (12:25). The Christians at Jerusalem were In need because of a famine which had come upon the world. When news of this reached the believers at Antioch, they were moved with sympathy for them, and relief was sent at the hand of Barnabas and Saul. On their return from this ministry, they were accompanied by John Mark. 11. Gifts of the Church at Antioch (v. 1). . Young as was this new religious center, it had prophets and teachers. Such are essential to right church life. In Ephesians 4: 8-12 Is enumerated the gifts which when Christ ascended on high lie gave to men for the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry. Gifts in the Church are not for the Church itself, but to enable it to perform service for others. 111. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth (vv. 2,3). This marks the beginning of foreign > missions as the deliberately planned ; enterprise of the Church. 1. The occasion (v. 2). “While the i five pfophets and teachers were fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit commanded them to send forth Barnabas and Saul. The work of evangelizing the world was laid so heavily upon these men‘that they refrained from eating in order to seek the will of God in prayet. Tills is the kind of fasting that has God's approval. The missionary enterprise is the index to the spirituality of a church. The emptiness of missionary treasuries and I tue falling off of missionary candi■rdates reveal the unspirituality of the home base. Without a spiritual awakening nt home, foreign missionary enterprise Is doomed. 2. The divine command (v. 2). The Holy Ghost said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul.” The real call to Christian service comes from the Hol? - Spirit. The Spirit called, the Church responded by sending out those called by him. Spirit-filled Christians know the voice of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit called, and the best men which the Church at Antioch had were sent out. 3. The obedience (v. 3). After fasting and prayer, Barnabas and Saul were sent out. The men were ready to go. •i. Instant obedience was rendered. Those who have received the Spirit’s call are not taken by surprise when they are commissioned by the Church. There should be no holding back on the part of the Church, nor of the workers when the Spirit calls. By the workers when thd Spirit - IV. Preaching the Word of God in Cyprus (vv. 4,5). ” We are not told as to why they first went to Cyi>rus. but we are left to infer that it was owing to the fact that Cyprus was the home of Barnabas. He was acquainted with the country and tiie people ipnl could be thus assured of a respectable hearing among,them. Besides, It was most natural that those who had heard the good news go first with it to their kindred and friends. . Andrew first went to his brother, and the man out of whom the demons were cast was denied the pleasure of following Jesus in order that lie might go and tell his kindred. As they went forth they carefully carried put their commission. for they preached the Word of Gdd, Those who are faithful to G<><l will preach nothing but his Word. The great need today Is Spirit-called and Spirit-filled men preaching God's Word. V. Withstood by Elymas, the Sorcerer (vv. 6-12). Sergius Paulus, the deputy, invited Barnabas and Saul to tell him of God's Word. Elymas maliciously sought to turn his mind -from the fhith. He sought to bar the gospel as It entered upon its mission of converting the heathen. Paul came to the front an<f denounced Elymas in the most scathing terms. He called him the child of the Devil, denouncing him as full of guile and villainy, pronouncing him the enemy of all righteousness, and accusing him of perverting the right ways of the Lord. Surely a man is never more a villain than when he tries to turn a soul from God. la the Name of God He therefore is the devout man who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God. who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God and under such rules as are conformable to his glory. —William Law. Prayer Prayer Is the strategical point which Satan watches. If he can succeed in causing us to neglect prayer, he has won; for where communion between God and his people is broken, the true source of life and power is cut off.— Andrew Murray.

€77ie .DAIRY. IMPROVE QUALITY OF PASTURE SODS Methods That Will Increase ’ Yields of Grass. Pasture sods require feeding, reseeding and cultivating much the same as any other crop, declares C. W. Gay, chairman of the department of animal husbandry at the Ohio State university, who believes that the pasture may be made one of the most profitable fields, on the farm. If dairy cows are fed on a grain ration in the stable, or if cattle are fed grain on pastlire, they will put back in fertility more than they take off. However, the droppings are best distributed by some kind of drag or they will not be utilized to the .best advantage If piled iu large heaps, the manure kills'the grass under it and stimulates such rank growth around the pile that stock will not eat it. Rolling firms the soil about the grass roots, and disking may thicken the stand. Bare spots should be reseeded- and weeds and rank grass are best clipped. Another good practice. Gay asserts, is to top-dress the pasture iu th fal’ or early spring. However, the manure of one kind of stock should not be put on sod to be grazed by that same kind of stock. Germs of tuberculosis and abortion disease may infect the manure. of cattle and spread tc stock on pasture. In the same way sheep and hogs may become infested witii parasites if grazed on grass top-dressed with sheep or hog manure. But *' e parasites of sheep do not infest hogs, and vice versa. Cattle manure had best go ; op corn ground, or other ground to be j plowed, while cattle pastures may be I top-dressed from either the iiorse, hog, or sheep barns. Profits for Dairymen in Luxuriant Pasture Luxuriant pasture is the best friend of the dairy cow. It is rich in protein, mineral matter, and vitamins. “The dairyman who appreciates the value of the pasture crop in economy of production, in the buiidingjjf health, and in the cutting down of actual labor and cost of production, is the man who is reaping the dairy dollars from his summer production,” declares J. C. Nisbet, extension dairyman, K. S. A. ♦ik. In emphasizing the importance of good pasture for dairy profits. On many a Kansas dairy farm, pas- z ture may be provided about nine months in the year. Sweet clover seeded in oats would be ready for light grazing in the fall, suggests Nisbet. Winter wheat or rye could furnish early winter pasture lasting many years through December. The same winter wheat would be available for early spring pasture, followed shortly by the sweet clover which should formally carry the dairy cow through until the early fall at which . time a new field of spring-sown sweet clover would again be-ready. ' Brome grass and Sudan could be used as dry weather pastures. Improve Dairy Prices Prices for dairy products can be helped if Jill interested will cooperate in the effort to cut down production fiv keeping fewer* and better cows, according to E. A. Gannon. Purdue university.. By selling a couple of low producers to the butcher, not a neighbor, and by purchasing a high quality purebred heifer which comes from a good breeder, who has a disease-free herd and which carries high-producing blood lines the farmer can influence the market materially. “There is one conclusion many have made and many more will make in the future,” said Gannon. “That better cows are and will be needed if profits are going to be produced for the dairy men even under normal conditions.” Avoiding “Ropy” Milk “Ropy” milk causes a great loss to the dairy industry each year. It Is more prevalent in the springtime than it is (juring the fall and winter months. In order to prevent this condition from occurring. It Is best to make sure that the water which is used for the cows to drink and the pails and utensils is clean and fresrfi. (The organisms which cause ropy niiik. are found generally in the water. The udders and flanks of cows which have been In pastures where stagnant water stands are apt to be contaminated. and during the spring particularly, the flanks and udders should be wiped off with a damp cloth. This is a good practice and should be done throughout the year. Tuberculosis Tests z r ' ' < New Hampshire has been majking excellent progress In the testing of herds for tuberculosis, government ’ records show. Three of the ten counties in the state have been established as modified accredited areas, signifying that all the cattle have been tested and that not more than 0.5 of 1 per cent of the cattle of these areas are tuberculosis. Interest in other counties, also, is Indicated by a waiting list of more than 3,000 cattle owners who have made applications for the test. Keeping Down Germ Life Ordinary milk when it reaches the bottling station, usuftlly contains about 50,000 bacteria or germs per cubic centimeter and one cubic centimeter (c.c.) is about 20 drops. On the other hand, milk that has not been properly handled, ma.* contain as many as one million germs per c. c., when it is bottled. Frcm these facts, it can readily be seen that the problem of the milk ptoduerr is to so manage his mifk as to keep its germ life down to a minimum.
