Persecution 1s a special kind of
pressure, which is to be the topic
of next week's study. But short of
positive persecution, there are
various pressures which, il not

off God's highway. The very tint

who never lets any one know he

for courage;- A Christian who
ceases to be one under pressure will
have no trouble, maybe, in this
world . but in the next? Then he

trict will probably pass the
million malt during rite next
thirty days. More than half
this amount has already been
planted. Current planting oper-
ations are progressing as fast

Shelby-Panola District was for-
tunate enough to secure a few
hundred thousand extra seed-
lings from the Nacogdoches-
Rusk Soil Conservation Dis-
trict and the Olin-Matbesion
Industries, Inc. Practically all
of these have bees sold, but a
few thousand are still availa-
ble on a first come first served
basis.

most recently ordered trees

have requested 80,000 and 6,-
000, respectively. Also Jete

der for 50,000 pine seedlings.
