PREVENT HOG CHOLERA, PLEA Farmers Asked To Vaccinate Against Disease Threatening Pork Production The possibility that the battle of hog producers to achieve hog production goals might be "bcombed" by a cholera outbreak was revealed in a letter last week by County Agent S.

IS. Scott to Johnson county hog growers. "You could lese the battle on your cv.n farm by not insuring against this loss by said Scott. "Hundreds of Johnson county farmers vaccinate every year. If you are one of them, we hope ycu will influence your neighbors to do likewise.

Loper, superintendent of the Shel- ulation may say, "God is winnowing me out on His threshing floor. He wants to find the good grain beneath the husks of life." All of us have seen this spiritual process in operation. It has revealed the saint and the hero and the saint that had been hidden in conventionality. Our boys will come home from the war made over into newness of character, because they have been under the tribulum." Fom Under the Interblended with his counsels upon the present persecutions, the fisherman-author gives counsel concerning Christian character and conduct. He sets up the fixed standards of daily behaviour.

For discipleeship is to be proved in daily walk, as well as in martyr heroism. Peter bravely cautions the brethren not to grow morbid, or to indulge in a mood of self-pity, or to attribute all of their troubles to their saint-liness. It is one thing to be criticized for our real faults and quite an other to be persecuted for our faith. The smug and sanctimonious type of Christian, who is disliked for his inconsistent and unpleasant personality, comes in for plain words from honest Peter. Back of all suffering of saints is the inscrutable will of God, who is steadily working His purposes out.

Even this terrible war, born of the devil and of mans devilLshness, we may dimly see as a providence of the Almighty, who has been driving His "tribulum" over the harvest of life.

I shall never forget the first time I saw an oriental threshing ma- chines. I was riding through the; i Holy Land with Dr. Franklin Hos- i kins when we encountered a donkey, bearing on its back a heavy board i platform cr sled, studded withj poimed Hints. I had no conception of its use, although it later became a familiar sight. Dr.

Hoskins explained that this was the ancient device used for threshing grain the remote ancestor of our modern threshing machine- The farmer spreads his garnered grain on the level earthen threshing floor; and then hitches an animal to this primitive, sled- like device, and drives it around and around, until the flinty points have separated the grain from the chaff, He then winnows it by tossing the i pile in the air, for the wind to blow i away the chaff, leaving the grain to be gathered into sacks. The device bears its old Latin name of "tribulum," from which we derive our word tribulation. The moral is vivid.

Nevertheless, in all the United Nations, the great bulk of the people have accepted the principle of sacrifice as essential to the war. Some of the little nations are undergoing incredible hardships and persecu-1 tions. Even the immature laggards, whose squealing and squawking affront trie ears of patriots, are learn ing the vital lesson that there are greater goals in life than mere pro longation of physical existence. Our brave men in service are teaching us how to endure and to die. Mrs Charlotte Perkins Stetson put this pertinent truth into verse.

Our old friend Peter, the apostle, who had come up the hard way to leadership, and who was more familiar with the inside of prisons than libraries, deals vigorously with this theme. It was no theoretical essay that the fisherman wrote.

He was addressing far-scattered Christians who were undergoing persecution by Nero, that Roman emperor who had a curious likeness to Hitler. These victims of a madman's ambition and fear and hate their counterparts abound in Poland, Greece, Yugoslavia and other martyr lands today) were being tortured and killed in fiendish ways thrown to the lions, covered with tar and set alisht as human torches, beheaded, crucified and burned at the stake.
