Dusting Time
The best time for dusting row
crops is when the air is still, so that
dust does not drift away from the
plants, and also to prevent poison
dusts from being distributed on leafy
crops growing nearby, which may
be ready ter harvest.
Dusting in the evening or early
morning, when the dew.has formed
on the plants, usually makes the
dust stick well to the plants and
gives them good protection. Beans,
however, .should not be dusted when
wet, as any handling spreads some
diseases to many healthy plants

Only God can provide the necessi-
ties of life. Rationing has taught us
that lesson anew if we have been at
all thoughtful about it. The plan ‘.3
one of sharing. Sharing what? The
food and other provisions which
come to us from God's hand. Un-
less our crops are good there will
be less to share. Only God can help
us.
This was the lesson Israel learned
in the wilderness To reach the
goal tp which God was leading them
they must pass through the wilder-
ness. Not only were there 'many-
weary miles to travel, but there
were privations to be borne. Life
is like that.
Now they cried for food. Note how
elemental are man's needs in the
final analysis—bread and water. The
very things we take almost for
granted as we concern ourselves
witlf*life’s weighty interests and pro-
found problems become, if lacking,
the only things that have any real
meaning. And who is it that can
provide them? No one but God Him-
self.
I. Bread from Heaven (Exod. .16:
11-18).
Israel's longing for meat was met
by the miraculous coming of quan-
tities of quail (v. 13). But that was
not the food to sustain them day
after day. For this they needed
bread, and it came from heaven,
every day until they entered the
promised land (Josh. 5:12).
Observe four things about the
manna.
First, it was a divine provision.
There are responsibilities in life
which we may bear—and must bear
—but in the ultimate meeting of our
real needs we must look to God.
Secondly, it was a daily provision.
What forehanded folk many of us
are, and no doubt rightly so, for
God puts no premium on improvi-
dence. But once *again we must
recognize, as did Israel in receiv-
ing the daily manna in the wilder-
ness, that ours is indeed a moment
by moment existence.
We plan bravely for the next dec-
ade or the next generation, but as a
matter of fact it can only come to
pass “if the Lord will” (read James
5:13-17).
Next, it was a limited provision—
enough for the day and no more, ex-
cept for a double portion on the
sixth day, and none at all on the
Sabbath. These provisions were
made clear to Israel, and yet there
were those who attempted to lay up
for the morrow, and some even
went out to seek manna on the Sab-
bath day.
We marvel at their stubborn ob-
tuseness, but are we not often just
like them. Some there are who are
always expecting that the laws of
both God and man should be set
aside for them, but they come to
grief.
Finally, it called for diligence and
action on their part. They had to
be out early, each day (except the
Sabbath) to gather it. God s mer-
cies are for those who are willing
to obey Him. He gives to those
who receive by active faith.
II. Water from the Rock (Exod.
17:3-6).
"And the people thirsted”—for the
daily manna was not enough, they
must have water. Needy, yes, con-
stantly needy are God s children.
"Every life knows the bite of ne-
cessity . . . every soul cries out in
pain because there is wanting some
completing favor, some culminating
and all-contenting benediction. Here
it is bread; there it is water; but
everywhere a famine ... in many
a case a famine of soul, a spiritual
destitution, a consciousness of a
void which time cannot satisfy or
space content.”
God always provides. There is a
rock in the wilderness. But what
pleasure does a murmuring people
find in a rock when they famish for
water? It is God’s delightful custom
to meet our needs in unexpected
ways and by means which we do
not understand. Even our physical
necessities come from unthought of
sources.
III. Christ, the Bread and Water
of Life.
Our lesson does not give the New
Testament application of Israel’s ex-
periences, but let us not miss that
blessed spiritual truth.
In John 6:31-33, Christ is declared
to be the true bread from heaven, of
which the manna was but a type.
Paul speaks in I Corinthians 10:
1-4 of this incident in the history of
Israel, saying that they "did all eat
the same spiritual meat, and did all
drink the same spiritual drink; for
they drank of that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and that Rock
was Christ” (see also John 4:14),
Hungry and thirsty soul, you who
are still unsatisfied after tasting all
that lift apart from Christ has to
offer, will you not, just now, take
Him?

A Genuine Recovery
None of the good phvsie. ns now

thority with any r: t to issue a

fered recent assuruitco of tim.i and
j complete victory. T'.i.s nation
j ing a lot of bad jyieJicir.v. how-
ever, including seme dangerous
habit-forming drugs.
Granted that these hoses are es-.
sential to the successful prosecution
of the struggle, nevertheless a dan-
ger exists that we might decide to
continue using them alter the war,
to our own serious injury. One of
these supposedly temporary, emer-
gency measures is government con-
trol of industry.
What Is It For?
Government's hands were laid on
the controls of American industry as
a defense measure, to allocate ma-
terials, regulate production and di-
rect deliveries. Manufacturers have
been told what to make and how
much, where to sell it and at what
price. Wages and hours have been
reguUted also. Now come sugges-
t - from various quarters that
t regulations not be relaxed
when the war ends. Men in high
office even suggest that regulations
be increased after the war.
Europe lias had much more con-
trol of industry by government than
America c;ver had in tire past; the
Orient still more Experience in
these countries proves that produc-
tion shrinks, w ages decline, and peo-
ple get poorer as government’s con-
trol of industry increases. Govern-
ment regulation lowers production
in itm country too. Some of Amer-
ica’s Lig manufacturers say they
could increase pr> duct ion by one-
third now if bureaucratic control
were relaxed.
Expensive Medicine
Nobody knows how many' Ameri-
can manufacturers could enlarge
their effective war production ex-
tensively it government regulations
were lifted. There is n > poMtivc as-
surance tii t Me number is Urge.
But it is perfectly obvious that ro,id
re notions (with ad flair compen-
sating'advantages for war purposes)
are tncinsclvcs b> t". h-im ks an i
would l)e a d.stinct b.ndruncc to
competitive industry it applied in
peace tijr.e. *
Government control, essential in
times of war to eereeptlato produc-
tion on war necessities, even now rs

Cvs.ly to t!-.' pllbl.C ,t caiwd over
into the post-vv ar- p< i d. One. large

A Fixed Expense
A lot of big companies could raise
wages now on 10 1= oi net lncoir.V
If .government red-tape amounts to
this much, figured on the. swollen
volume of a war year, it could be-
come a crushing burden to business
in a post-war lull. When competi-
tion becomes active again, the cost
of government regulation alone
would be enough to throw many a
company into bankruptcy. In con-
nection with other restraints it would
retard investment, which econo-
mists recognize as the mother of
employment, waste resources need-
ed to expand the sale irf new prod-
ucts, and drain old working capital
essential to business activity.
Unless government regulations
are relaxed after the war, produc-
tion will decline, wages will be
forced downward proportionately,
marketsdor farm products will drag
and living standards will be lowered
for all .Americans. There are just
and necessary regulations and these
must be retained, but needless ones
must be relaxed after the war or
America will sink to European liv-
ing standards which, at best, are no
more man hair as ugn as those we
know in America.
