PIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
* THE DESTROYER OF LIFE—
, “Thou shalt not go up and down as a
~ thlebearer among thy people: I am
the Lord.” Lev. 19:16.
Uncle John Shannon's big Kiwanis
edition of the Commerce News which
went off the press while the most of
us were away in Cuba must have heen
a big fine one.. We hear more of it
now than we hear of Cuba.
{ The slowest “burning issue” possi
ble to stir in the coming gubernator
ial contest is the bond and anti-hond
idsue. Th’-: people of Georgia want
qued highways, but that's going to
make a poor igsue for those in the
riice for governor. If that happens
to b 4 all, this will be a very dull sum
mer in politics. - The real row over
hondg for pavlnx h'ns already been
had by the various candidates in the
extra session of the legislature. It
will be hard to make it interesting
again.
Congratulations to the people of
Dooly county for the fine results in
the bond election. It way pretty near
ly all one way—for bonds. The coun
tiy-did itself a great credit in passing
bonde amounting to $200,000 for pav
‘)o the Nadtional.and other highways
in_the county. And one of the finest
manifestations we have seen any
”Qre came from the rural section
of the county where the voters ‘will
nét directly enjoy the results in pav
igg which runs by their own doors.
These rural sections, some of them,
gave the bonds a rattling' fine majori
ty. Dooly will be in position now
to put her paving program through in
good time.
i GEORGIA I 8 PRAISED
From the Albiny Herald we gather
tli_u praise for Georgia. 'That paper
gbt it as a clipping from the Daily
Mining Journal, published at Mar
‘ubt(e in northern Michigan. This is
rére hecause it comes from beyond
ghe Masgon and Dixon line.
“The (-prlng‘rnfi«; :
“Hvery clvlll;.ml state in Americn
must have laws regulating the labor
ov.f childnen and Georgia, which bhas
.bs;n -' u}tfil)édy maligned throughout
the north, has just enacted laws that
challenge comparison. with those of
any other commonwealth.
“The popular ‘impressiop among
northerners has long been that in
the cotton mills of the south the very
lives of children just out of the cra
dle are ground up into dividends. O.
course it is different in the north.
But it isn't.
“It appears that the census of 1920
proves it. It shows that of childra
under sixteen employed in the cotton
mills there were 5968 in the south
and 6,246 in New England. At tho
time the census was taken there were
just 468 children under fourteen em
ployed in all the mills of the south.
“After all, greed is not sectional,
nor is the spirit of humanity, The |
Georgians have just set an examplv.j
They have taken the child labor lawy
of all other states having them and
'lncorp6rated the most drastic feature.
where they were found applicable a'
all, into a law of their own. Thus in
Georgia, yobpy nge child under fou:-
‘tebn can work in any mill; and non»
under sixteen can be thus employed
in any mill where, according to th>
(fi‘uu board of health, it would be dan
gerous to life, limb, health or morals.
And on top of this they have a comw
aulsory education law,
“Bince the supreme court has held
hat no national child labor law can
tand the constitutional test, the pro
ection of childhood falls on the states
‘hat which public opinion hag done
n Georgla will be done in every state,
fhe time will come when any state
vithout such a law will be a moral
wtcast among its sister states,”
THE CHRISTIAN “DARE MARK"
We never had greater respect for
any man's religion than that of Dr.
3accom Anthony who last week threw
he southern conference at Memphis
nto a great uproar over an effort to
ay down a dare-mark, as it ‘were, over
vhich preachers and teachers may
10t come In expounding the Bible and
he teachings of Christ, but Dr. An
hony's effort is a grave mistake, The
Jible is the most popular book in the
vorld today. It showed that in last
sear's records of hook sales. It is
the last work and the last word upen
which one may rely for a proper chris
tian setting for his conduct. Why not?
‘et it remain that for Methodism?
Why try to set up new restrictions,
lew creeds, all man-made and aimed
‘P',o impose a partisan, one sided pro
gram upon all the remaining people?
We do not want anybody undertak
ing to write down rules by whiclh )}'_é
shall interpret the Bible. ‘That’s our
precious privilege. We followed a
revolt centuries ago when the priests
undertook that—and we have been
revelting ever since. Today these
priests do not permit the individual
to read and interpret the Bible for
aimself, but require the individual to
come to the priest and make confes
sion and the priest then stands before
tha Messiah for the indivdual. Under
that age-old rule of the priest: the in
dividual has no right to direct access
in secret prayer behind the door of
his own closet.
But under the modern protestant
church one can read and interpret the
Bible and worship according to the
dictates of his own conscience, Dr.
Anthony would seem to tire of that
precious privilege and now wants to
write down a “dare mark’ and tell the
preachers if they come over it, there
will be a fight. That's all wrong. It
isn't any 'more necc sary than the day
after the Bible was completed. All
we want or need is to be able to up
hold the Bible and shake it at the mod
‘ernist when modernism undertakes to
jofl‘or something ¢purious.
~ Christians ought not to tremble and
grab at a prop for the Bible and chris
tian religion. That's a most ridicu
lous (lispl&y of weak faith. Modern
ism [=n’t going to do half as much
harm as those who halt in their ac
tive campaigning for the church to
quibble over a creed to hog-tie any
body in search of the truth. The
christian religion never entered the
life of any mortal who did not volun
tarily open the door to his own heart.
It was never intended to make its
way through force, ; n
The préa('her who preaches with !{n
assurance that the Bible anq chris
tianity will stand all searclies for the
truth, it the greatest apostle of chri';i-1
tianity. He who urges men to go
search for the truth—go tfirough the
ways of science—through all the ave
nues of history—back to the day
when “Peace, Good Will Toward All
Men™ was sounded in the ears of man
kind—will have to acknowledge that
the Great Teacher laid down the prin
ciples which will stand the test, noy
matter what the storm or the issue.
We are not afraid these principles
will ever long be trampled under foot.
There is no church, no civilization, no
veligion, that Wwill ever thrive very
long without the heart of the Bible
in the hearts of the people who make
up such church, or religion, or nation.
The christian “dare-mark” is the Bi
ble. The New Testament is the cheed
}—Jhat studied and interpreted by the
individual in the light of his own con
:sclcuce. Men may come under other
colors, but their flags will be furled
when issues are all settled and the
Day of the Great Dispensation dis
closes that the Divine Plan has been,
is now, and 'will always be that every
knee shall bow in the right time, at
the right place, to the Master of Men
who conie in love of humanity to take
up the human burden and bear it with
us through the valley of the shadow
‘and out into the light and glory of o
New Life,
I Our lesson is to be learned there,
It is the same today that it was two
thousand years ago. No man should
worry about a new creed. Modernism
isn't going to rewrite the Bible-—and
the fundomentalists need not become
tidiculous in their fright. Trembling
christian legs are a detriment to the
Great Cause, Strong faith and cour
age in the souls of men will remain
the only lasting challenge, How it it
that preachers who are securely an
chored in their faith will continue to
writ down new creeds? The Bible will
do.
A POSTED WOMAN, BUT--
The passing of Miss Myrtic
‘White from the cap:itol will taks

women in the building and a
moman that was representative,—
Bainbridge Post Searchlight,
It docsn't matter that she was a
posted woman., It doesn’'t matter
that ghe was representative—she was
assertive of her politics—and part of
her politics should never have gone to
breakfast in the office where a really
loyal democrat held forth. Miss White

The governor is entitled to an of

bersonz'l.l‘ly; 'fb'r him to be considerate
at least, of his views on paving bonds,
a school program, and other ideas of
thq good of the state. Miss White wasg
in position to do him untold harm--
and we doubt not that she did so dur
ing the extra session, for she was a
anti-bond advocate and a shrewd un

Ox Gall 7 tre Liver
- ISR e (il . -
You can’t stimulate the liver by
drugs. The highest authorities
have decided that. But ox gall,
from the liver of an ox, stimulates’
that gland in a marvelous -way.
That is one of the greatest of late
medical discoveries.
The liver is ‘our largest, most ime
portant gland, . When it is torpid
it needs a gland extract. Learn
what ox gall does.
Everybody Needs It
Torpid liver is the cause of
countless troubles. It means a
scant sm:fply of bile. Constipation
and indigestion follow. Nearly
exerybody suffers more or less from
that. e o p
But the worst result is this:
Bile combats germs in the intes
tines. When it is scant, those
germs breed by millions. They
