ALTHOUGH, as we learn in geom-
\ etry, a straight line is the
A- shortest distance between two
points, liave we not all at times
found true tbe old adage that “the
longest way round is the shortest
way home”? The old fairy tales in
which the young man Who wins the
princess and half the kingdom is
always the one who stopped to help
the fairy godmother in disguise, are
not so utterly unrelated to fact as
might be supposed.
Perhaps we have stopped in the
midst of many duties to help some
one with a word of encouragement,
and have been enriched with fresh
inspiration for our own work. Or
maybe we have gone out of our way
to give a troubled neighbor a help
ing hand, and liave found our own
burdens lightened, is not our mental
attitude the most important factor m
achieving an objective?
.... i-.ioi- wp all must learn
delay our approach to God, infinite
Love. . . .
Not what material sense sees, but
what spiritual sense knows, is the
determining factor in the solution of
a problem. A beautiful illustration
of this is found in II Kings where it
is related that Elisha’s servant dis
covered that lie and his master were
surrounded by an enemy army in-
j Mit on tiie capture of the prophet,
and said to Elisha, “Alas, my master!
how shall we do?” Elisha answered,
“Fear not: for they that be witli us
are more than they that be with
them.” Then he prayed that his serv
ant’s eyes might he opened to see
the spiritual reality. And immedi
ately the young man was able to see
that “Ihe mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about
Elisha.” The outcome was the peace
ful departure of their enemies with
no hurt to anyone. Elisha’s fearless
ness was based upon his perception

ED MORGAN, TECH '22
LEADER, DIES IN FLA.
Macon, Ga., July 30—The body
of Edmund R. Morgan, captain of
the Georgia Tech football team in
1922, who died unexpectedly late
Monday at his home in West Palm
Beach, Fla., wil be brought to Ma
con Thursday for burial in Rose
Hill cemetery.
He was a Florida banker and
had lived there 17 years. He was
the son of W. T. Morgan and the
late Mrs. Morgan, of Macon, his
native city, and a brother of C. C-
Morgan, of Atlanta, prominent in
Georgia Legion circles.
Mr. Dan Smith, 81, prominent
retired Macon county farmer, was
found dead in bed early Thursday
at his home in Oglethorpe. He re
sided with his daughter, Mrs. Jim
Peters.
“The Sabbath was made for
man,” and was ordained of God for
the good of man’s body and soul. It
was intended to be a day of glad
fellowship with the Lord.
Since the Sabbath — the seventh
day — was essentially one of rest
and worship, the principles which
surrounded it and directed its life
may be applied to our day of rest,
which is the first day of the week—
the Lord’s day.
That word “rest” sounds a little
strange in this busy world of ours,
and yet it is an important one. It
means quiet for the struggling one,
calm for the troubled, repose for
the weary, cessation of labor for
the worn-out one.
God in his infinite wisdom saw
that without rest man would soon
destroy himself, and he made pro
vision for one day in seven when
labor should cease and man should
be free for that recreation of soul
and body which should fit him for
'the labor of the week.
I. A Day of Holiness (Exod. 20:3).
God gave his people a holy
day to balance up their days of la
bor and to bring blessing to their
souls. On that day he decreed that
they should come apart from their
labors, turn from secular interest
and turn their hearts and minds
to the unseen and the eternal. Man
would become so engrossed in the
things of this world that he would
soon forget; therefore, God com
mands him to stop and worship.
That should be sufficient to cause his
people to "remember” the day “to
keep it holy.”
Notice that the day of rest was
to be not only for the family, but
also for servants and for visitors.
The employer who unnecessarily
operates his factory or office on Sun
day violates this commandment.
Note also that the man who is to
rest on the seventh day is supposed
to work on the six days. Some
neglect to do both.
This matter of keeping the Lord’*
day holy is one which has tremen
dous implications in the lives of our
children. Many men and women
who have had built into their own
characters the stalwart virtues nur
tured by family attendance at di
vine worship have not only forgotten'
their own continuing need, but are
destroying the interest of their chil
dren in church attendance.
It is serious enough to go astray
in one’s own life, but to lead one’s
children astray is an appalling re
sponsibility. Let’s keep the Lord’s
day as a holy day.
II. A Day of Helpfulness (Mark
2:23-28).
The formalists of Christ’s day, the
Pharisees, had overlooked the heart
of God’s law and the holy living
which it was intended to produce,
.and had bound up even the observ
ance of the sabbath (which was in
tended to be a day of rest and glad
ness) in such a mass of technical
“thou shalt not’s” that it was a day
of fear.
The accusations against the disci
ples because they had taken and
eaten grain was not on the ground
that they had stolen, for the law
(Deut. 23:25) guaranteed that right
to the one who passed through hiu
neighbor’s field. The Pharisees con
tended, however, that the disciples
had worked on the Sabbath in pick
ing and hulling the grain.
God’s laws are helpful laws, and
it is only when men pervert them,
or add to them their own traditions
and interpretations, that they be
come burdensome to anyone who is
God-fearing and obedient.
III. A Day of Healing (Matt. 12:
9-13).
Jesus made it clear that healing
of the body (yes, and of the soul)
was most appropriate on the Sab
bath day; in fact, that is the very
day for it. *
The healing of the man with the
withered arm revealed that back of
the Pharisees’ professed concern
for the Sabbath was a real hatred
for Christ. It is an appalling thing
that in the house of worship on the
very Sabbath day, these men.
outwardly so religious, were plot
ting against our Lord.
Jesus cuts across human hypoc
risy and hatred to declare that the
true keeping of the Sabbath is to do
the work of God. No work of neces
sity (like plucking the grain) or of
mercy (like healing the withered
arm) is ever out of place on the day
of rest.
A word of caution is needed, for
some have sought to interpret this
Scripture as providing biblical
ground for doing all sorts of things
on their day of rest. That day is
for man’s good, not for his detrue-
tion. His gieatest good is served
by rest, worship, spiritual develop
ment, Christian fellowship, and the
doing of deeds of necessity and
mercy.
The desecration of the Lord’s day
in our time is a serious matter.
Let us not contribute to it.
