All THINGS TO ALL
MEN
Christ was a home missionary, in
the house of Lazarus.
Christ was a foreign missionary,
when the Greeks came to him.
Christ was a city missionary, when
he taught in Samaria.
Christ was a Sunday school nus
p ionary, when he opened up the Script¬
ures and set men to studying the
Word of God.
Christ was a children’s missionary,
■when he took them in his arms and
blessed them.
Christ was a missionary to the poor,
when he opened the eyes of the blind
beggar.
Christ was a missionary to the rich,
when he opened the spiritual eyes of
Zaccheus.
Even on the cross, Christ was a
missionary to the robber, and his last
command was the missionary com
mission.—Amos R. Wells.
A newspaper man has found the
happiest man in the world and he
lives in North Georgia, He has six
fiddles, ten children, thirteen hounds,
a deaf and dumb wife and a* moon¬
shine still that has never been spotted
by the government.”
Those financially interested in rais
ing poultry and producing eggs in a
commercial business way are vitally
interested in the tariff imposed on
eggs imported into the United States.
Few people who keep hens or eat eggs
realize what a big thing the egg in¬
dustry is. The United States produces
about 2,000,000,0000 dozen eggs an¬
nually; but China, the largest egg
producer in the world, produces more
than 3,000,000,000 dozen.
World-Wide Fame for
Georgia
Ralph T. Jones, writing in the At
lanta Constitution, remarks that—
It is to he hoped that the recent
“Pecan Pageant” held at. Albany will,
as it recurs from year to year, do as
much to advertise Georgia as the
“Peach Festival” at Fort Valley has
done. Such events as this should help
to permanently associate, in the mind
of the world, the pecan with Geor
gia, just as today all over the world
the word “peach meuns Georgia
peach."
During a recent visit to England
the writer tried hard to find as many
points of mutual knowledge about
Georgia as he could with all sorts and
conditions of people in the old coun
try. He found that almost everyone
had heard of four things from Geor
gia:
*• Everything is Peaches Down in
Georgia, the Stone Mountain Con
federate monument, Frank Stanton’s
immortal “Mighty Lak a Rose" and
Joel Chandler Harris’ “Uncle Remus”
stories. Practically every other fa
mous Georgia product had to be ex
plained and diagramed before Eng
lishmen knew anything about it.
BUSINESS WOMEN OF W. M. S.
Miss Larinne Edwards was hostess
to the Business Women of the Me
thodist W. M. S. on last Tuesday
night at the home of Mrs. W. B.
Norton. After the reading of the
minutets by the secretary and a re
port by the treasurer, the Bible les
son was given by Mrs. George Math
ews, Sr., which was instructive and
impressive. A rending by Miss Ruth
Smith was enjoyed. After the jTrogram
the hostess, assisted by Misses Emily
and Lottie Norton served a fruit
salad with punch.

A SERMON ET
i
Unto your heavenly Father ever
And through the risen Christ
wants make known;
To faithful souls there is no idle
No perfect rest this side the
white throne.

’Tis true that, there is quietude of
To ev’ry child of God, and peace
found;
The blessed Christ Who makes
children whole
Has seas of deepest grief for
to sound.
3
’Tis best that through His
they should go,
And from all dross bo
refined;
The fiercest flames are kindled by
glow
Of perfect love found in the
vior’s mind.

It is not here we reach life’s
goal;
While on God’s footstool we
toil and pray.
A crown of life awaits each
soul,
A heritage that shall not pass

GOLD
By L. D. STEARNS
There’s a golden sun; there are
stars;
There is moonlight’s golden 1 cheer;
There is golden wheat, and the golden
glow,
And buttercups, gold and dear.
There are butterflies, gay, with gold¬
en wings;
There are golden autumn days;
There are echoes of golden melody,
Along life's devious ways.
There are golden candles and golden
lights,
That beckon and draw one home;
There are golden arc-lights nlong the
streets,
With greetings for all who roam.
There are fleeting hours winging
through each day,
With moments of purest gold;
a golden purpose is woven through
life,
As its sum of years is told.

beauty of her rich and full soprano
