THE WRONG WAY TO IT.
There is no objection to hav
ing the Bible read in the
gchools of the State, though it
will not do much good unless
the children are taught a few of
its precepts at home.—Valdosta
Times.
We are tempted to say often that
the greatest evil of this age is the
tendency of sensible people to the be
lief that they can legislate morals
into a person, If the reading of the
Bible in the public schools should
lead one poor parent to the mistaken
piew that such a reading was enough
for his children, then the whole law
would be a pernicious, foolish piece
of business. And unquestionably it
vill cause some to think their chil
dren are getting so much of the Bible
that it is not necessary to stick clese
to it at home.
Our lack of interest in Bible read
ang is today rasponsible for many of
our ills. It will remain a cause of
wickedness so long as the Bible is
pot made the handbook of morals for
the child, the boy and the girl, and
the grown-ups. We do not doubt
Bhat the scriptures and prayer mark
Fhre opening of every worth while
#chool in Georgia already. What can
come of writing it into the statute:
#3 a requirement—a law? There is
a certain notoriety for the author of
the bill and a long protest sure to
follow. That is all anybody can see
In it,
How would you like for this same
bunch in the legislature to pass a
law requiring you to attend Sunday
‘School in the morhing or at a cer
tain’ hour in the afternoon, or pos
sibly at both! Would you set up
a howl? We shguld say so, and it
would be done even by those who go
to Sunday School. They would have
a just cause. The idea of legislat
ing people into a state of sinless
ness is foolish at the start. It cannot
be done.
And besides, this is coming too
dangerously near to ticing up the
‘state and the church, If we are go
‘ing into the schools with the Bible,
we might leave off the Sunday
|School. That would be better than
'|leaving off the home study of the
€ireat Book. Oftentimes we see 2a
great revival into which all the
churches have thrown their power
‘eand influence, From such a revivay
they pick off the converts and send
| them to the church of their choice.
sVhy not go into the common schools
|#nd there finish the child’s raligious
‘]rducation and shape his future,
pending him to the church of his
choice? If we lay aside everything
‘elge and stuff him all the day with a%
religious program, his digestion will
become over taxed and he will lose
eground. The church.is the place to
present the gospel to mankind—at
Jeast, it is the organ through which
it is best presented, not the state
schoo!l evstem. The poor fellow who
believes he has done humanity a ser
gice by getting a law spread on the
statute books of the state requiring
the Bible in the public schools |
chould find out that there is a dif
ference between legislating good
ness into people and bringing them
'to it through individual responsibil
;‘:it_v and initiative.
IT’SS A COMMUNITY AFFAIR
If people had the gift of song
as generally and naturally as do
birds, life would indeed be “one
sweet song.” Cordele ond Syl
vester each had a three day
singing convention (recen\.ly.
Community singing encourages
optimism no doubt, and culti
vates good fellowship and like
wise that which we all seck
after— happiness.— Talhotton
New Era.
The gift of song is a fine thing,
and no one will urge any objec
tion to it, but there are people
in the world who imagine they
have this gift when they have
not, and anyonz who has lived
in the neighborhood with one of
this kind, naturaliy weakens a
little, along about midnight, in
his love for “song.”—Columbus
Enquirer Sun,
The first expression here indicates
that the writer knows what we have
in these community events with din
ner on the ground. The comment
of Editor Loyless would indicate
that, although he is a Georgian and
right on the ground, he does not
know all that could he written about
such pleasant occasions.
These all day singers are not noisy
till they get together and when thev
sing it is a day affair—2ll day. Wo
have never heard one of them trying
t alone as if aspiring to get ahead
of the others. They seem to under
stand that singing is fine when every
body sings. And it is.
We may have described occasions
with frills and said more than events:
would justify, but in this case we
cannot express in a plain newspaper
account of it the enjoyment that
veems to eminate from the commu-
Rity singing like that the people here
have now made ‘a custom. It aids
the church services, It makes the
Bible classes in the Sunday Schools
larger. It provides a delightful up
lifting diversion that is splendidly
fitted for observing Sunday.
We wicsh we could tell everybody
everywhere how much there is in
the community singing schedule
here. It is a fixed institution. A
three-day singing convention is not
én unusual affair. The last we had
¥ith dinnep on the ground, the oec
casion to wlhich the Talbotton paper
wefers, is the county singine conven.
tion which holds its annu2l ocea-
Siens in the summer. It brings good
singers, song writers and real com-
Posers many miles to attend.
Our own local singers keep up
class and church enthusiasm with
this same good music, The singing
is as much a part of the Sundav
program as anything else and stress
is laid on the good music. Our good
friends over at Columbus would find
himself unwilling to miss the Sunday
School were it possible for him to
fall in with a large clesy of good
men singers—hut he may attend al
ready. The larger cities could get
Just as much out of these occasions
as do the smaller communities—at
least, we helieve it strongly enough
that we are willing to suggest it.
IT WILL COME BACK
Speaking of the recent me
teoric visitor to that section
The Cordele Dispatch says—
“ Some twenty-five years or
more ago, a great meteor hit in
north Georgia. It was easily lo
cated by those who were watch
ing. It was still red-hot when
approached, and remained in
tensely hot for many days. It
is still there, a mere stone, ap
parently, weighing many tons,
who knows but that this was a
baby world which lost its course
and thus ended its many mil
lions of years of processof for
mation?"
Yes, who knows; if there he
one who does let him sell the
world, for the world would like
to know more about meteors, es
pecially - gince ~recently some
scientific fellow out in Califor
nia ’lowed that the I%lson)we
have been having such hot
weather this summer was be
cause showers of meteors had
been falling on the sun.—Colum
bus Enquirer Sun.
Here is a written statement which
we made on the word of somebody
who was talking about mecteors after
the fright of April 20, this year, We
{io not know that it is true—have nc
rcecount of this one in the encyclo
pedias which discuss meteors at
‘length. There are plenty of speci
‘mens, some of them on display, that
meet all the detail of this descrip
fion.
But beware of your words, writ
ten or spoken. They wiil come back
to you.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
HOW TO LIVE LONG.
From Atlanta Constitution:
Well, it won’'t be long before
doctors tell us how to prolong life
_for many years. I have a friend
who is 97 years old, and he goes
down to his bank in New York
thrée times a week.—John D.
Rockefeller, on his fighty' se
cond birthday.
it developed that the “friend” re
ferred to is John A. Stewart, chair
man of the board of trustees of the
United States Trust company, one of
tne largest iinancigl institutions in‘
America, and that instead of 97, as
Mr. Rockefelleow said, he is 99 or will
be on the 26th qay of August. ‘¢
Tt is said the almost century-old
bankér not only appears at his desk |
on board days each neek, and presidos
over the meetings, with the same
acute financial acumen that he did
fifty' years ago, for he has hsen at the
heaq of the bank since 1870, but that
he takes an active part in the adminis
tration of the bank’s affairs, and per
gonally says the yea or nay to every
groat financial problem that is brought
hefore the institution.
Mr. Stewart is perhaps the patri
arch of the banking fraternity in
America, for the dispatches say he en
tered the banking business when a
lad in his teens, and has been con
nezted with the one institution for
“over seventy years.”
In the passing of the generations,
through financial storms and sun
shine; through trying days of recon
struction from colonial days to those
of a free republic; through the ordeals
of three wars; the inflations of war
time “prosperity,” and the deflations
of post-war rehabilitations; through
political panics and the smooth sail
ings of restored normalcy—this re
markable man has kept sober, kept
working and kept smiling.
And these attributes, a clear mind,
an industrious habit, and an unruffled
temper, are responsitte for one life of
usefulness that almost measures the
combined lives of any two average
business men of this day and time.
The lesson is a worthy one—strive
to do one’s bhest; and in striving
smile and keep happy.
