The growth of organized knowledge,
revealing as it does the reign of an
ascertainable and indisturbable order
in physical events, confirms this as
surance that God does not intervene
in our every day affairs, and that tne
world in which we live is largely if
not solely self operating. ,
Yet Jesus is against those conclu
sions. He emphatically taught that
this is not a true conception of man
or of his environment. According to
the Master, not a sparrow falls to
the ground without the Heavenly
Father’s notice and the very hairs of
His children’s heads are numbered.
Certainly it was indispensable for
Jesus that He should constantly ex
perience the presence and activity of man ity has bred the producers,
the Father of all men in His earthiy | herocS( the saints> the martyrs
cultivate
that indifference to life’s bewilder
ing variations which was practiced
by stoicism. Strong and austere in
dividuals have attempted this prac
tice and not a few thinkers advise it
today. Their theory is that every hu
man creature has his day anti »<1
fust submit when the night begins to
fall. Once life has ceased to be at
tractive, why not take leave of it
without exultation or regret? To die
quickly under these conditions is a
privilege and in any case rebellion is
useless.
Since we cling to our faith in the
Eternal Goodness, surely we have
some rights which should be regard
ed by its administration. The Bible
recognizes these rights. It asserts
their justice and announces their
satisfaction. It maintains that com
pensations abound in the very order
of things, and that pain and suffer
ing have rewards which go far to
obliterate their bitterness.
I may address those who are well
nigh swallowed up in the waters of
affliction. Its tempestuous waves
have gone over them, apparently
without cause. “Very Well" says the
unbeliever, "be rational. The only
way out of this incesate puzzle is to
assume that life is absolutely gov
erned by a conscienceless and malefic
tyranny. Behind these personal, so
cial and world wide catastrophies
which wipe out your happiness and
leave you pitably defenseless is
satanic agency, immune to reason or
remonstrance, and one which would
be brutal beyond words if it were
sensitive to either.” ,
I do not think that the heaped up
woes of mankind will ever make
xho.se who endure them friendly to
this improbable and distressing no
tion. On the contrary, advancing
knowledge dissipates its sway. A re
cent writer pertinently observes that
as men and women develop intelli
gence and humanness they are less
and less disposed to attribute reg-
nancy to diabolism or its manifesta
tions.
As against these dismal creations
of despair, recall the sturdy faith of
St. Paul. He assecerated that “all
things work together for good to
those who love God.” The acceptance
of this brave and vitalizing precept
does not release us from life’s ills
end perplexities. But it does cause us
to consider that behind their tangle a
pattern of character is being woven
which vindicaes the Apostle’s faith.
Blind unbelief is sure to err. It
scans God’s work in vain. It exag
gerates the evil, ignores the good and
also how often evil is instrumental
for good. It forgets that He is His
own interpreter and in His own time
and way will make plain things r.ow
difficult to understand.
Here we appeal to those who have
plumbed the depths of sorrow and
also scaled the heights of joy. They
have known the drag of the ordinary
ex
traordinary visitations of affliction.
These richly endowed souls are the
chosen remnant of the race. Could
they be recalled and given a fresh
opportunity, do you suppose they
would desire a different career I
rather imagine that St. Paul would
still follow the radiance which fell on
him' as he journeyed on the Damas
cus road.
Can you conceive a generation in
America afraid of child bearing,
home building, averse to the exact
ness of a lofty moral code, and to
the adventures of an impelling faith
in God and the future? When that
generation appears and takes charge
this republic will disappear. Apply it
where you may, the doctrine of God’s

Atlanta, June 16.—Messages of
congiatulaticn from pat iotic organi-
tions, public officials, educational

beth Groves, 16 year old junior high
school student of Byromville, had
been named one of the four flag
champions in the national essay con
test sponsored by the United States
Flag Association and the Hearst
newspapers, than telegrams began
to hum over the wires to the May
flower Hotel, in the National Capi
tol, where Miss Groves and the 37
other school children, against whom
she competed in the final stages of
the contest, are staying.
Educational leaders in particular
heralded the accomplishment as
distinctive honor and a tribute tc
ueorgia and the South for the high
scholarship attainments of its stu
dents. '
Utricials of Georgia, of Atlanta
and of Byromville, Miss Groves’
Home town, as well as the heads of
civic and patriotic organizations here
and elsewuere, were entnusiastic ami
liberal in their expressions of pride
and congratulations at Miss Groves’
accomplishments.

Groves, Byromville, Ga., schoolgirl
and Southern regional girl tlag
champion, as one ot the four nation
al flag champions, came as the clim
ax of a career of brilliant scholar
ship.

Byromville High School, and for hei
first three years has been first hon
or student in her classes.
She was selected local flag cham
pion in the contest unit conducted by

meaning and observance of the
American flag, included:
Mrs. J. H. Page, Miss Olin Wilkes
Mrs. Claude McLendon, the Rev.
R. McKibbon, W J. Page and S H
Buxton, all of Byromville.
Papers were submitted anony
mously and hers was judged 'best in
the local unit. It was submitted to
the regional jury together with the
winning papers of boys and girls in-
226 contest units throughout the
South, and again was judged best.
As Southern girl flag champion,
Miss Groves during the past two
weeks has visited national shrines on
the patriotic flag pilgrimage
throughout Eastern States. She was
accompanied by Thomas J. Lowe, of
Jackson, Miss, the southern regional
boy champion and the champions and
chaperons from the other 17 national
regions in which the project was
sponsored by the Hearst newspapers.
Miss Groves is the daughter of
Mr .and rMs. W R Groves, of By
romville. Her father is a prominent
Middle Georgia banker and planter.
She is the grand-daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. H. A. Mobley, of Vienna
and Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Groves, of
I.incolnton.
While leading her classes in ail
studies, Miss Groves has found time
to pursue other school activities with
keen interest. She is a member of
the high school basketball and swim
ming teams and has starred in the
debating society.”
