I was born and reared in Wehster

On Oct. 26, 1890 I was ordained to
the Gospel ministry by authority of

I am now living near Charing, Ga .
Taylor county, surrounded by loving

continually expecting the Master'?
call. Many dear to my heart over

I beg that I may leave a kind re

An interest in your prayers I crave.
That we may meet beyond the grave.
In hopes of eternal life,

people; mixed and muddled people
People are “composite.” Composite ir
a form of soft rock in which many
varieties of earth are mingled, z
There is hard gravel an composite,
there are streaks of clay and some
times there is gold. You can’t treat
composite as granite. And its foolish
to disdain it as clay. And even more
foolish to expect that it will id ways
bear gold. You must take it as vou
find it and make the best of it. The
hard with the soft; the useless dirt
with the shining ore.
People are that way—a mixture of
all the elements of humanity. No
one is granite all thru; no one is mud
all thru; no one is gold all thru.
People are everything; man and
beast and common . muck—an^ God.
Strength mixed with weakness;
courage raided with cowardice; puri
ty shot thru with foulness; tender
ness tangled with cruelty.
People are composite.You'll never be
fair to men or get any fairness from
men until you realize that. Make up
your mind thu y t: must deal with
composite when vo" deal with human
nature. Burt expect too m i h or
blame too much. Don’t love to,.- much
or hate too much. Take them as you
find them and make the best of them.
And never judge! For remember that
the clay runs through them; runs
through you too, and if they are
short on “pay dirt," well, 30 are

low tail and a callicore dominiuln
butterfly and also several pretty
moths that we have not identified yet.
We have three new snakes; A moc
casin, a thunder snake and a spiead-
ing adder.
But the most prized addition to
our aboratory is a gorgeous barn owl
which we plan to mount. About its
head is a hood which makes its face
appear heart-shaped. It has a white
Rooked bill and large ears, the latter
being covered with white feathers as
soft as down. Its pure white face
makes the large black eyes very
prominent. Its breast is pure white.
Its beautiful marked tan, gold and
white wings have a spread of four
feet. This specimen makes the second
contribution from Mr. Wade Good
man, the other being an equally
prized blue heron.

deal of repair work has been done
this week on the books and titles
have been relettered. The attendants
wish to ask every student with an
over-due book to return same prompt
ly. Anyone who knows where a li
brary book is, will confer a great fa
vor by reporting the name of the
book and where it can be found. It is
hoped that when the end of the school
comes that every library book will be
on our shelves.
Senior Class
Commencement preparations are
the order of the day, although it has
been decided that the exercises will
be simpler this year than usual. Mrs.
Edwards is pleased with the progress
the seniors are making on their
choruses and the class likes very much
the songs that have been selected.
The junior-senior prom will take place

Cecil Parks of the senior class rep
resenting the Taylor county chapter

per third of the class in the order of
Harmon, 86.06; Sara Cox, 84.87;

83.69.
Chapel Exercises
The faculty and student body were
delighted to have at their last chapel
exercises' of the past week three
ministers: Brother Hightower, Bro
ther Lambert and Brother Hobbs.
Brother Lambert conducted the devo
tional exercises. His subject was
“The Pessimist, the Optimist and the
Possumlst.” He Illustrated the mean
ing of the three terms with a story
for each, A negro’s dog was howling
dolefully. A neighbor of the dog’s
master asked, “What in the world is
is the matter with that dog?”
“Why,” said his master, “can’t
you see what a cockle-bur patch he
is sitting in?"
To illustrate the term “optimist”
he quoted the speech of a negro
preacher who at a conference gave a
glowing account of the conditions in
his district. His humorous character
ization impressed his meaning very
forcefully.
It is a great and wise thing he
said, to be an optimist; but it is even
better to be a possumist, which term
he explained by telling the story of a
negro who was without food and hun
gry; but when he saw a persimmon
tree, red and orange with its load of
fruit the next morning after the first
frost, a great idea came into his
mind. I will go home and get my axe
and gun ready for tonight Mr. Pos
sum WtTI climb that tree. I’ll catch
him sho’ and tomorrow Mandy will
bake him with ’taters all ’round him.
I’ll eat him. I know I can. Then I’ll
be a possumist; and so he was for
possum, Latin students know, comes
from “posse”, “to be able.”
Freshman Party
To celebrate the conclusion of the
third quarter spelling contest in the
eighth grade, Mrs. Brown’s section
entertained Mr. Culberson’s section
with a prom party last Thursday eve
ning at the school building. There
were about 25 couples present. Dur
ing the fifteenth prom ice cream was
nerved. I
Music Education Edited
By Junior Music Club
“I sang a song when darkness
Lay over all the land.
A song whose broken meanings
I scarce could understand.
But as I sang, half sobbing,
I saw faint etched and far,
Against the blacx of midnight,
The shimmer of a star!”

Music Week will soon be hefe.
There’s a reason for it. It is set apart
that people may ponder upon the sig
nificance of music as a food for the
soul, and its importance therefore as
a language as well as an art. It is
now recognized as the world’s sweet
est, best understood means of ex
pression. All races, sexes and creejls
must have it,, for its appeal and pow
er stir the depths of the human heart.
The influence of music in the home
is so obvious that one hardly knows
where to begin to dwell upon it.
There is no member of the family
who is not benefited by some kind
of music. Music is beauty in the home
living, breathing beauty. There can
never be too much of it, whether it is
home made or whether it comes to
you thru the phonograph, the player
piano or the radio. The power or
music is infinite. A Japanese sage
came nearest when he wrote:
“Music is the power of making
Heaven descend to earth.”
With this tribute to music the
counsellors and members of the local
junior music clubs, hope that some de
gree of appreciation and recognition
of music week may be given through
the churches and schools. Not many
large activities perhaps as in larger
places, but in a small way, musical
features may be added. It is hoped
that at least two musical programs
may be given -during'the week.
* • *
The students from High and Gram
mar schools respectively, went to
Macon Wednesday for their “return
scholarship broadcast over WMAZ.
They were Miriam Dreizin and
George Roberts. Here’s hoping we
hear a favorable report from them.
* * *
The music department will have
two Recitals either before or during
commencement; one given by all the
music students, the other a Certifi
cate Recital by Sara Cox. The prob
able dates will be May 29rd and 25th.

There is on substitute for prayer.
Fine music, fine preaching, splendid
organization, the most efficient re
ligious machinery—nothing will take
the place of prayer.
Prayer will not take the place of
anything else. I tell my boys ant
girls in the Bob Jones College that
they need not ask God to help them
pass examinations if they haven't
studied. God doesn't do for men what
they can do for themselves. God sends
the sunshine and the rain, but He
won't cultivate the soil and gather
the wheat. He won't chew food for U3.
He does for us what we can't do tor
ourselves.
surrendered to Him. I go down the
street and I am shot from the alley
by an assassin. God is not responsible
for the sin of the assasin. But God
sent me down the street In time to
come in contact with the bullet if I
am really surrendered to the Lord.
Nothing can harm consecrated
Christian people. Fire can’t bum
them. Water can't drown them. Death,
can't kill them. That is the faith that
made the early church unconquerable.
A man is a fool to get under a tree
in a thunderstorm and ask God not
to let the lightning strike him. That
sort of acting is tempting God. If du
ty calls me under a tree during
thunderstorm, then I have a right to
ask God to take care of me.
“The steps of a good man are or
dered by the Lord," There is no such
thing as an accident in the life of a
man who is surrendered absolutely to
God. I get aboard a railroad train.
The engineer is careless, the train Is
wrecked, and I am killed. God Is not
responsible for the carelessness of
the engineer or for the wreck if I am
“The blood of the martyrs is the
seed of the church.” It used to cost
something to be a Christian. Jesus
Christ called His followers to a life
of suffering. He didn't offer them
ease or earthly reward. He offered
them a cross and a shroud. He sold
the cause to them. They said, “The
cause is worth dying for," and they
followed Jesus.
