Then rise, take up thy bed and walk." John 5:5, 6, 8. Here was a man who is an ex emplification of the human race to day. He had had an infirmity for thirty-eight years; and he had spent a long time lying at the edge of the Pool of Bethesda, trying to get some one to help him into the water, when it was troubled, but some one else always was just ahead of him, and so his quest failed. Trying everything but the Right Help! Then along came Jesus Christ and this man, for thirty-eight years a paralyzed cripple, knew healing; knew again the use of his limbs: knew again a proper activity; knew release from suffering and help lessness. And so, along came Jesus Christ and blind Bartemeus knew the blessedness of seeing; and along came Jesus Christ and the widow's dead son was restored to her arms; along came Jesus Christ and Lazarus walked forth from the imprisonment of death and the tomb. When we are in the throes of spiritual death or spiritual helpless ness, or spiritual blindness, it de pends on the sort of help we receive whether we ever live or move or see again, Spiritually. And the world is trying everything in the way of help, but the RIGHT HELP, and that is the help that comes from having the Spirit of Christ in the lives of men. And today, as of old, all along the highways of life, JESUS IS PASSING BY. And we have only to call upon Him as did they of old avail ourselves of the RIGHT HELP, and we shall live and move and see again, Spiritual ly. God help us to turn to the Right Help, to Jesus Christ! If you have not a Church home, come and worship with us; we in vite you. For the coming Lord's Day the sermon topics will be: For the morning service, "What Does God See In Us?" For the evening service, "Bidding God Goodbye." METHODIST CHURCH. JOSEPH POPE, Pastor. Sunday School meets at 9:45 with classes for all ages. Morning worship 11:00. Special music by the choir.

"Agricultural Workers" Defined by NRA Ruling The definite ruling of NRA ex empting agricultural workers from the requirements of the labor pro visions of blanket and specific in dustrial recovery codes, has been received at Oregon State college by George O. Gatlin, extension econo mist in marketing, who recently re turned from Washington, D. C, where he went as the representa tive of many northwest agricultur al interests. Following ia the definition now accepted for agricultural workers: "Agricultural workers are all those employed by farmers on the farm when they are engaged in growing and preparing for sale the products of the soil and, or, live stock; also, all labor used In grow ing and preparing perishable agri cultural commodities for market In original perishable fresh form. When workers are employed in processing farm products or pre paring them for market, beyond the stage customarily performed with in the area of production, such workers are not to be deemed ag ricultural workers." This subject of exempting agri cultural workers from the labor agreements under NRA was an Im portant storm center for many weeks in Washington, Gatlin re ports, during which time represen tatives of agricultural industries pointed out the necessity of such an exemption, particularly in view of the lag in farm prices in the general upswing of commodity levels.
