MORNING WORSHIP, 11 O'clock
In keeping with the Church’s Cal-
endar’s emphasis upon Missions dur-
ing January, the pastor will speak
upon what is perhaps one of the
greatest chanllenges to Christianity
in the modern world, Russian Com-
munism. Do you know what is hap-
pening in Russia? Do you know why
Religion is being suppressed there?
What is required to defeat Commun-
ism; That cannot oe done merely by
denouncing it. Events in modern
Russia have demonstrated that it is
better to follow the guidance of Je-
sus Christ than to sit at the feet of
Lenin.

VESPER SERVICE, 5:30 p. m.
One way to gain an insight into
the value of Christian Missions is to
examine the life and work of a mis-
sionary. At the vesper hour, the pas-
tor will speak on the life and labors
of W. T. Grenfell, the Labrador Doc-
to, an Apostle to the Far North, who j
In regions of limited rainfall such
as 25 inches or less per year, it is
only in recent years that much
thought has been given to -the haz-
ards of soil erosion, or rainfall run-
off losses. In such regions when land
is first put in cultivation and while
the soil still has the dead grass roots
in it, little erosion is noticeable and
little occurs on new land as com-
pared with the erosion on older land.
Quite often sheet erosion goes on for
several years unnoticed until declin-
ing crop yields show that the fer-
tility of the soil is much less than
when the land was new. Usually ero-
sion has taken many times as much
fertility as have the crops taken
from the land. There is little doubt
but that the erosion per inch of rain-
fall increases rapidly the longer the
land js cultivated under the usual
methods of farming
OI larmin« 111 region. matoes at lO-^ay inter^afs'withal
to keep the soil well supplied with
humus, but is also a reason for at
tempting to prevent erosion, by
means of terraces and contour farm
ing.
It is difficult to maintain a fertile
soil by good cropping methods alone
if the land slopes more than 1 per-
cent. Terraces will be a considerable
aid in checking erosion on slightly
sloping land and are essential on
land having a considerable slope, if
serious losses are to be prevented.
The cultivation of the larui on the
contour rather than in straight rows
is of greater importance than ter-
xaces, but terraces also are required
to pevent gullying if the land has
any considerable slope.
In regions of limited rainfall, ter-
racing and contouring the crop rows
usually increases the crop yield
from 10 to 100 percent over unter-
raced and non-contoured land right
from the first session it is done. Ex-
perimental results in West Texas
show that where some 12 inches of
rainfall is captured during the win-
ter, spring, and crop growing season
by means of terraces and contoured
rows, that a normal yield of a cotton
or grain sorghum crop may be pro-
of water fall* during the portion ol
the year when it might be atored in
the ground for the crop, but too often
the rainfall losses from runoff, with-
out terraces, are just enough to
cause a low yield of the crop or a
failure.
Briefly stated, the aim should be
to catch and hold the rainfall, when
and where it falls, and if you catch
the rainfall where It falls, you need
rot worry about erosion.
How about trying out the value of
terracing on a little area on the up-
per portion of the slope? After the
value of the terraces and contour
farming has been demongthated,
more terraces may be added from
year to year at no expense except
about the equivalent labor of beak-
ing the land once.
Contour your rows before you
plant. Build a level terrace or two.
Find first hand the value of these
practices on your own .farm as as-
sets to your farming program.

Plans for 1937 Agricultural Conser-
vation Program Studied
College Station.—The Agricultural
Conservation Program for 1937 will
include provisions for range conser-
vation, Extension Service workers
were tcld by representatives who at-
tended the conference of the south-
ern region at New Orleans.
The 1937 program will follow out
the basic objectives of the 1936 plan,
but has been amplified in several
respects. Among the changes are pro-
visions for including commercial
orchards and commercial vegetable
plantings in the 1937 schedule.
Designation of the basic soil build-
ing and soil conserving crops re-
mains virtually the same. The ruling
on the interplanting of soil-depleting
crops and summer legumes, such as
corn interplanted with cowpeas, has
been altered to classify all the acre-
age as soil depleting and in addition
the acreage devoted to legumes shall
also be classified as soil-conserving.
Likewise, land from which a cash
crop has been harvested and which
is douhle-cropped by planting le-
gumes shall, in addition to being
counted as soil-depleting, also be
counted as soil-conserving. Thus a j
20 acre field planted to corn, har-1

“Truth” is the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist on Sun- IS
day, January 24. *
The Golden Text is: “The Lord is $
good; his mercy is everlasting; and 8
his truth endureth to all genera- K
tions” (Psalms 100:5).
Among the citations which com- $
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol- W
lowing from the Bible: “Thou are $
great, and doest wondrous things: i"
thou art God alone. Teach me thy $
.way, O Lord; I will walk in thy M
truth” (Psalms 86:10,11). ‘ |£«
The Lesson-Sermon includes also
the following passage from the $
Christian Science textbook, "Science »*«
and Health with Key to the Scrip- $
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Mate- $
rial sense never helps mortals to
understand Spirit, God. Through 8
spiritual sense only, man compre-1X
hends and loves Deity. The various "J1
contradictions of the Science of'’4'
Mind by the material senses do not
change the unseen Truth, which re-
mains forever intact” (page 481).
