The early Christians should
be our models in our effort to
win souls for God. During
the early days of Christianity
even the pagans exclaimed in
admiration, “See how they
love one another.” It is my
duty as a Catholic to help
my neighbor to try to put
love into cold, forgotten lives,
hope into sill-laden souls and

Robins was host for the
the Spring meeting of the
Knights of Columbus State
officers, Grand Knights and
Financial Secretaries.
State Deputy Hugh H. Gra

the meeting held at the Sac

officers in attendance includ

Sheehan, Macon, Past State
Deputy William Jordan, At

fice of State Warden by the
State Officers to fill the un
expired term of Thomas J.
Griffin of Marietta who re
cently passed away.
Grand Knight Peter O’
Malley of the host Council
welcomed the 45 state offi
cers and representatives of
lives may not be their fault,
but the fault of self-right
eous Christians who fail to
help them.
Trying to win friends for
Christ is often discouraging
but the joy of bringing one
sinner back to God is a re
ward in itself. The enemies
of God work day and night
to sow hatred and strife.
Should we be outdone in gen
erosity by those who hate
God? No, let us be watchful
and kind and win by love
and kindness souls for whom
Christ laid down His life. If
our motive is love of God and
neighbor our zeal will be
blessed.
In this fast-moving, bewil
dered world there is ample
room for many to spread the
word of God, who will bless
us if we make but one con
tribution, or one sacrifice for
His glory. He has said, “Go
teach all nations!” and He
meant each and every one of
us to do our part.
This we can do if we are
watchful in every way and
seize each chance to do our
share of all the hundreds of
good causes that daily come
our way. Visiting the sick,
helping the elderly, minding
a baby, so that a mother can
go to Mass, receiving the
sacraments daily, and by try
ing to set a good example.
Wicked men are experts in
spreading their evil deeds
and should we who are chil
dren of God, who possess
Eternal Truth fail to share
it with our less fortunate
brethren. It takes so little to
satisfy our good God. A smile
for an enemy, a kind work
for a forgotten creature, a
helping hand to the over
burdened mother means love
in any language. Try it and
your life will take on a new
meaning.

Augusta Chronicle
Research at the Albert Gary
farm near Appling shows that
cows make nicer farm animals
than bulls because bulls are
rougher.
Compiled by a team of as
tute agricultural experts from
the first grade at St. Mary’s
On The Hill School in Augusta,
here are some more of the
findings:
Cattle can be roughly divid
ed into two categories — those
who have horns and those who
don’t have horns.
Cows who have horns aren’t
any meaner than those who don’t
but they can hurt you more.
Hornless cows are the best
kind because the horns they got
rid of make good playthings.
Cattle can also be divided
into two other categories — beef
cattle and milk cows.
Milk cows are named Bossie
and are speckled and eat hay.
They give milk and live to be
milked another day.
Beef cattle eat hay too, but
they give steak and hambur
gers and meat loaf. They us
ually have to be killed before
they’ll give it though. There is
an advantage in this, because
old cow skulls make nice play
things, too —especially if there
are girls around.
Pigs would make nice horses
if they didn’t throw you in the
mud. Pigs with rings in their
noses make the cleanest pigs
because they can’t root in the
mud. Being stuck in the mud
isn’t as much fun as it looks,
especially if you have to wear
wet, muddy socks for the rest
of the day.
Rats are very intriguing ani
mals—especially dead ones be
cause they’re hard to find in
a barn and you have to follow
your nose. It’s lots of fun
looking for a dead rat in a barn-
especially if the barn is full
of hay.
The research tern functioned
with the aid of several assist
ants — mostly mothers, but
including their teacher, Sister
Mary Terrence. These assist
ants drove them from Augusta
to the Gary farm in seven auto
mobiles, pulled them out of
muddy pig pens, fed them
lemonade and donuts, and at
tended to sundry other minor
but important functions.
They were escorted around
the farm by Mrs. Albert Gary,
who knows the difference bet
ween a beef cow and a milk
cow and is in on various other
little mysteries like why land
race pigs have rings in their
noses.
The research team was car
ried around on a flat-bed trail
er pulled by a jeep. They ask
ed a number of pointed ques
tions, like “How do you get a
cow’s horns off?”
That was easy. You pull them
off. ( This information was vol
unteered by a Chronicle-Herald
reporter who came along for the
ride because his editor felt ex
posure to a first grade class
might be mentally stimulating).
“Would you go get me a cow
horn?”
This request was made of a
Chronicle, - Herald reporter,
who ducked the issue by tell
ing about how hunters used cow
horns to call their dogs.
“Are you a cow?”
The thing that bothers you
about these kids’ questions is
that they’re so sincere. The
answer: “Mool”
“Where are your horns?”
“Here’s one!” One of the
agricultural experts had found
an old cow horn apparently
abandoned by its owner several
months ago. He poked it into the
reporter’s head at a jaunty
angle. Someone else offered
him a handful of hay.
The scientists went armed
with bundles of hay to entice
the cows to the fence.
A milk cow stood with admir
able patience while they threw
bundle after bundle in her face.
She didn’t even twitch, even aft
er her head was thoroughly cov
ered with hay and the scientists
were screaming at the top of
their lungs. She must have been
a mother at one time in her
life.
The beef cattle — white-face
Herefords—were a little wary.
One bull stood and pawed the
earth. A very small female
scientist dressed in a brilliant
red outfit noticed it and retired
to the rear.
Lemonade and donuts were
served back at the barn. Then
someone discovered the dead
rat. At least they got wind of its
presence. Soon the barn was full
of screaming researchers, ea
ger for this choice scientific
find.
It was never quite clear whe
ther they found it. But one of
them found something equally
important the skull of a cow.
The whole group promptly gath
ered around this choice item and
passed it from one hand to the
other.
Then they boarded their auto
mobiles and, with their assist
ants in tow, headed back to St.
Mary’s where they were expect
ed to disseminate their know
ledge throughout the school.
