IC—The Danger of Sudden Temptations.
I. Peter's Downfall (Mark 14:29-71).
This began when he refused to hear
about the cross and ended when he,
with a foul oath, declared: "I know
not the man." When the disciples
would no longer hear Christ's message
about the cross, they not only ceased
to grow In knowledge, but they began
to deteriorate In moral discernment
and were evposed to the possibility of
the shameful denial of their Lord.
Steps In Peter's backsliding:
1. Overweening self-confidence (vv.
29-31).
His unwillingness to face the cross
alienated him from Jesus and when
apprized of the fact that the disciples
would all forsake Jesus. Peter de-
clared that Jesus was certainly mis-
taken, saying: "Although all shall be
offended, yet will not I." Our condi-
tion is most perilous when we are
most sure of our safety.
2. Sleeping at the post of duty (v.
37).
In one short hour the very one who
was so confident of his self-sutliclency
had fallen asleep Instead of watching.
The only way to escape from buck-
sliding Is to watch.
3. Lack of prayer (▼. 38).
The legitimate Inference from the
Lord's words "Watch and pruy" Is
that He had commanded them to prny
as well as to watch. The reason
there Is so little prayer Is due to the
lack of the sense of need of God's
help.
4. Misguided zeal (v. 47).
I'eter drew a sword and cut off an
eor of a servnnt of the high priest
(John 18:10) when they came to ar-'
rest Jesus. He was thus zealous for
the Lord. He was trying to make up
In outward service his conscious lack
of communion.
5. Followed Jesus afar off (v. 54).
Christ's rebuke for taking the sword
nnd the awkward position In which
his act had placed him, caused him io
follow afar off. He keenly felt
Christ's reprimand. Following Jesus
afar off got blm Into trouble.
6. Warmed himself at the enemy's
fire (v. (17).
This fire was built by those who had
come unsyinpathetlcally to witness the
crucifixion nnd even to mock In this
trugic hour. For Christ's disciples (o
try to get comfort from the things
prepared for the satisfaction of HI*
enemies Is sinful. Many professing
Christians are llvlivg a life of com-
promise, even attempting to get pleas-
ures out of the things which the ene-
mies of Christ have prepared for
themselves.
7. Open denial (vj. CO-71).
Step by step downward I'eter went
until the words of a servant girl pro-
voked open and blasphemous denial.
This even'ly one who had *ald: "If 1
should die with thee I will not deny
thee In any wise." Peter's trouble be-
gan when he shrank from the cross.
It was that shunning which separated
him from contact with God. It should
be remembered that there can be no
backsliding until there be established
a position from which to slip. Man*
cif the so-called backsliders have never
been born again.
II. The Repentance of Peter (Luke
22;Gl-62).
1. The look of Jesus (v. 01).
This was a most wondrous look. It
was doubtless filled with pity and pain.
Christ knew the trials through which
Peter and the other disciples would
pass nnd He prayed for them. This
look brought to Peter the full con-
sciousness of Ids cowardice and dis-
loyalty and his blasphemous words of
denial, and yet It displayed His pity
and forgiving love.
2. Peter's bitter tears (v. 02).
The look of Jesus brought convic-
tion of sin. It called to mind his
boastfulness and cowardice. How aw-
ful must have been Ids condition as
he went out that night Into the dark-
ness, little suspecting that there would
be found a way to get back Into com-
munion with his Lord. Doubtless the
message from the women as they came
from the tomb brought the first good
cheer to his heart. Christ said fo
them: "Go and tell my disciples a-
Peter." This encouraged him. , ^
doubt, as It indicated Christ's par
ulur consideration and love for hi

STOCKS
PASTURES ALONE
KEEP HOGS BACK
The grower who depends on pasture
alone to fatten his hogs will figure
bis profits from the use of the hog.
Records kept on several thousand
head properly fed show conclusively
that hogs paid at least $1 per
bushel above the murket price for
corn. However, one can still drive
through the country and see thou-
sands of hogs undernourished and
falling to gain In weight because the
owners are depending on pasture
alone for a large part of the feed.
W. W. Shay, exponent of wise hog
feeding and promoter of countless
hundreds of feeding demonstrations
put on with fnriners by the county
agents of the North Carolina state
college, state? that the hog market
Inst month reached the highest point
In six years. Except during the In-
flation of wartime prices, hogs are In
an exceedingly strong market posi-
tion for the next five months and the
hog-corn ration Is near the highest
on record. But, he states. It Is time
now for hog producers to bear la
mind, the violent down-swing of prices
that has been caused In times past,
by overezpanslon under similar price
relationships.
By not properly feeding out their
hogs, many growers are not taking ad-
vantage of the conditions outlined by
Mr. Shay. Furthermore, some owners
of half-starved hogs are selling corn
while others are feeding corn alone.
Mr. Shay states thut 7.0 per cent of
the corn crop is sold off the farm
where raised.
There Is no doubt, states Mr. Shay,
that each bushel of corn, properly
supplemented and fed to hogs last
winter nnd «pring would have re-
turned as much profit over cost of
production as five bushels sold at
the market price.
When Silage Runs Low
Steers Thrive on Hay
Many a fnrmer with a silo bus been
confronted by the question of whether
to sell his steers too early, because
bis supply of silage was dwindling, or
to try and siiift them to a legume hay
In the middle or toward the lust of the
feeding period.
Th.it cattle can be started on a full
feed of silage, corn, cottonseed meal
and straw, and satisfactorily finished
after a legume bay has replaced the
silage and straw and part of the cot-
tonseed meal Is Indicated in trials
conducted at the Kentucky experiment
station. For three years 900 to 1.000
pound Tennessee steers were fed for
112 to ir.2 days, hay being given to
one lot from 30 to 00 days at the close
of the period.
For two years the lots finished on
legume hay were fatter and valued
higher by the buyers, and for two
years made the largest gains, while
for each of the three years the hay-
fmlshed lot made larger dally gains
after the hay was added to the ra-
tion than did the steers continuing
on silage. These larger gains were
more expensive, however, mostly be-
cause of the relatively high price
charged for the ha.v, $20 per ion, and
therefore the all-silage-fed cattle re-
turned n larger profit by $1.87 per
head for the three years.
Although the cottonseed meal was
reduced when a legume ha.v was added
to keep the protein supplied the two
lots equal, fie hay-fed steers made
one-half pound larger dally gains. 2.54
pounds as compared to 2.05 pounds
per day for the all-silage-fed lot.
Fresh Whole Milk Ideal
Feed for Veal Calves
Fresh whole milk Is the Ideal feed
for calves that are to be sold for veal.
Calves from dairy cows are usually
taught to drink from the pall or they
are raised for veal by putting them
on a cow that Is hard to milk or a
kicker. To produce the finest quality
of veal nothing but whole milk should
be fed. The veal is best for martiet
when from six to eight weeks of age.
If they are sold before the muscles
get the proper consistency they are
known as "bob" veal. Calves of this
character will be condemned when
killed In the large markets, but some
of yiem find their way to market
when there Is no supervision of meats.
The price of milk as compared to
the price of veal largely determines
whether veals can be raised profitably
or not. Experiments which have been
conducted show that it takes appro*!-
mately ten pounds of whole milk to
make a ponnd of gain during the first
30 days. In other words, If the calves
weighed 75 pounds at birth, It would
take approximately 750 pounds of
whole milk to put them Into shone to
sell as 18ftpound veala
The open mind
{S
GENERAL MOTORS has an open
mind. Its program is to provide a
quality car in each price field. Already
this program has led to the develop-
ment of cars that differ widely in type
and special features, each designed to
serve a special purpose.
Through its laboratories, which are
the largest automotive laboratories,
General Motors seeks to look into the
future. At its Proving Ground it tests
improvements created anywhere in the
world.
It is committed to nothing except
quality at the lowest possible cost. Every
detail is subject to constant questioning
and the possibility of betterment.
This mental attitude is of interest to
you as a car buyer. You are assured that
you are buying the result of today's best
thinking, not yesterday's prejudices or
the mere product of habit.
You are benefitting by contact with
active open minds.
