The Guard takes pleasure in repro ducing the following editorial from the Arkansas Gazette: “Since Benjamin Bush came to St. Louis as head of the great Missouri Pacific system, and since Alexander Robertson was put in active charge of the Iron Mountain, Arkansas has fared well at the hands of this rail road. Mr. Robertson has introduced a new system in railroading in Ar kansas. It is a simple system, but a most effective one. His plan is to meet the people and to discuss prob lems fairly and openly. Probably it is not overestimating it to say that he knows personally twenty times as many Arkansans as any other active railroad official of equal rank knows. During the floods of last fall and the floods of 1916, the Iron Mountain was among the first to give money, sup plies anl labor, not only to towns on its line, but to towns distant from its Une.

Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Moods Bibb 1 Institute.) : (Copyright. Illi, Weitt rn Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MARCH 5 TH6 DEATH OF STEPHEN. I.KBBON TEXT—Acts 7.1-S:3. GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death and I will Kiva thae the crown of life.—Rev. !:10. This lesson closely follows that of last Sunday. There are some battles of life that are not fought with lists or weapons. The wy who holds his temper is more manly than the one who goes into a tight simply to win. Paul tells us how and what to fight (Eph. 6:11, 12). We must show the scholars clearly the two great bat tles Stephen fought and the victory l he won as described in today's les son. The charges made against Stephen were made by "false wit nesses." This does not mean men who invented false words, but men who took isolated statements, distort ed them and by innuendo used them for their own ends. Stephen was charged with three things: (a) Blas phemy against God (6:11-13), (b) That he had said Jesus would return , and destroy the temple (6:14), (c) j That he claimed that Jesus would de stroy or abrogate the law (6:14). This ( great passage of Scripture Ts so pro found and so closely connected that I we hesitate in trying to separate it i into divisions or sections. We much ' prefer to note the logical argument and presentation Stephen the Spirit anointed deacon made to the Sanhe drin. I. Stephen’s Dsfsnss. Stephen was a Grecianized Jew, whose name means "a crown." He answered the charges of these foreign accusers, made before the Sanhedrin, seriatim, i His point of contact was to respect- i fully remind the council that he , was an orthodox Jewish believer and . worshiper (v. 2). He called the coun- j cil "Men, brethren and fathers." They ^ere common believers and all were । standing before the God-appointed . leaders of Israel. Stephen in hie re- ' ply showed that he reverenced God i and God's prophet Moses, thereby an- ' swering the first charge (v. 11), and while he reverenced the temple he 1 showed that it was not essential to ■ worship (7:47:49). This last was in I aaswer (ojhflr second charge (6-14). j in answer to their third charge Ste- . phen then turned upon his enemies ' and by direct and indirect charges he . convicted them of certain facts. In direotly, by skillful repetition of Jew- ; ish history, and a review of the ■ prophets, he discloses the vacillation : and sinfulness of God’s chosen people (23, 89). Directly be accuses these leaders of having been subservient to certain customs as being superior to the law they professed to obey. Ste phen's accusers were, as we have seen, from without Jerusalem (6:9. 16). aad his first nettle was concern ing the truth about Jesus. His second great battle, and one of his ultimate victory, was with these avowed ene mies of Jesus (6:11-6:3). IL gtophen's Death. The real con test of this occasion was Satan vs. the Holy Spirit. Stephen put to rout these men from the foreign synagogue, beaes the Jewish authorities deter mined to take hold ot the problem theaMeivee and put a stop to thia Chriatian teaching. Stephen’s sud den application of the Scripture to his Judges caused Intense anger. He preached the word of God in the dem onstration ot the Holy Spirit, and such preaching always either produces con victica of sin, or sine arcuses anger at the preacher. These men could not deny the truth ot his accusation; they therefore turned upon him in anger. Being "full of the Holy Spirit" is an abiding condition and Inevitably tn votvea a conflict with Satan. It led Stopnen to look up and not about blm. and in his hour ot testing he saw a wonderful vision of heaven—" The glory ot God and ot Jesus standing. Let us accept the testimony of this dying man as a literal fact This . sight strengthened him for his suf ' faring and for his witnessing. Death | had no more terror for Stephen and , ho was faithful and steadfast to the ! end. Hi. fitephen's Burial. These men overreached themselves, for persecu tion simply scattered those who gave the Christian testimony a wider and a more effective hearing (11:19-21). This force ot circumstances thrust the early church forth from Jerusalem. Now. after a period of perhaps five or seven years, we see the beginning of the literal fulfillment of the Pente costal program (Aets 1:1).

Growing Strong Pigo. i By H. X. Sanders. Specialist for Pix 1 Club Work. Good, sound, thrifty pigs, weighing from 35 to 40 pounds each when eight I week* old do not come by “luck.” To ' be lacky with pigs simply means hard ( persistent work, good judgment and being on the Job night and day. To I produce good strong, healthy pigs, I they must be looked after before they ! are born. The mother must be cared for and well fed if she is to give birth to a strong litter. The Shelter: In the spring or sum mer season the sow Is quite able to lake care of herself. Sho will steal away in the pasture and in a day or two will come up with a nice litter of pigs. But for the sow that far rows In the winter months tome pro jection must be given her and her lit | ter. .nothing is bettor for this than a i warm shed open to the south to get I he sunshine. The cold winds coms । ,'rom the north, northeast and north i west, hence any shed enclosed on ! those three sides is sufficient. To pre vent the sow from crushing the pigs [ at farrowing time a scantling should j be nailed to the inside of the house । about eight inches above the ground . and projecting toward the center of i the pen. Feed for the So.w Before Farrowing: ! Sows fed on corn alone will not bring ' strong and heavy pigs. Feed some pea । nuts, wheat shorts, tankage or sweet milk with the corn in the following proportion: Corn .uree parts and ' shorts one part; corn nine parts and । tankage one part; com two parts and peanuts one part in hull; com three parts and bran one part; , corn six parts and cowpeas one part. A 250 pound sow should have from live to seven pounds per day of one of the above mixtures if she Is fed in a dry tot and plenty of fresh water, rhe brood sow when carrying her iit ter baa to be fed with a view of feed <ng the growing pigs, and to lay the foundation for their future strength, dee and coaetitution One of toe drains upon toe sow at this time Ie ’uruiehiag bone making material. Sho therefiore requires an extra amount of bone making feed. Provide a trough with wood aahee, charred corn cobs, charcoal and lime. If she la overfed at fireL toe pigs are likely to take the scours or thumps. No fssd at all should be given tor the first 24 hours, and very tittle for several days. When on a full feed in a dry lot, ehe wffl ent •bout four pounds ot grain per day tar each IM pounds she wetgbe. If ehe weighs 266 pounds she will need •bout 10 pounds per day. If she baa the ran of a good pasture at least one half of the grain will be eaved. if no pasture can be provided, she will need to bo fed about the same as be fore farrowing, except that ehe will need more grain. When the pasture is compoeed of Bermuda grass, a rraln ration equivalent to three per , ’ent of her live weight should be ted ^nd the grain part of the ration should be shorts, tangage and peas. I Feed for the Pig Before Weaning: I if given an opportunity the pigs win 'begin to eat when about three week* ~ld For theee young animals noth ing is superior to skim milk with horte. Many farmers have no skim milk and tn this case a thin slop of water and shorts will be the beet hing to feed until the pigs are from | four to five weeks old, after which (me the ration should be made up of wml parte of corn meal and short** These young snimsle etieuld not be M on eorn clone.
