THE BLAKELY
METHODIST CHURCH
R. L. WHITEHEAD, Pastor
A great many folks will have to
go to church next Sunday to make
up for last Sunday. Just a few were
present at the different services,
but all say they received a blessing.
Don’t you wish you had gone?
Next Sunday the pastor will speak
on the following themes:
11 a. m.: “Does It Pay to Be Re
ligious?”
7:00 p. m.: “How to Be Happy.”
The Sunday School will meet at
9:45, and the Leagues at 6 p. m.
Let us make it a big day.
We have received ONE HUN
DRED DOLLARS on the Benevo
lences. Don’t you want to have a
part in it? Only 82 persons have
contributed so far. We are grateful
to these, and are expecting every
member to have a part before the
year is out.
Mr. Wilton Howell is at home from
the University of Georgia for the
week end.
Hogs brought the highest price in
quite a while at Tuesday’s co-oper
ative hog sale, when 4.15 was paid
for No. ones. 182 head of them
were sold to Swift & Co., Moultrie
packages, the total amount received
being $879.91.
On the last week end a high
pressure area of great magnitude
appeared over the northeastern
states, sending the temperature
down to the lowest mark ever re
corded in many places. In New
York City the mercury dropped to
14 below zero, the lowest on rec
ord. Up in Canada 50 to 60 below
marks were recorded. The cold area
spread rapidly south bringing sleet
and snow as far south as southern
Georgia and a heavy 6-inch hail
storm down at Stuart, Fla.
Work has progressed very rapid
ly on the new basketball shell and
community house, a CWA project,
out on the campus of the Blakely
High School. The building is now
completely walled and covered and
the laying of the floor and fixing
of the seats, windows and stage are
now being completed. When finish
ed, the Blakely shell will be one of
the most commodious of its kind in
Southwest Georgia. The boys’ bas
ketball tournament of Class B high
schools of the Southwest Georgia'
Ahtletic Cohference will be held’
at this new shell in Blakely next
week.
U. S. Public Health Service
To Supplement CWA Work
Against Typhus in Early
It will be of considerable interest'
to the residents of Early county to
learn that the U. S. Public Health
Service plans to soon supplement
the campaign being waged against
rats and typhus fever in this section.
This work is expected to follow that
of the present CWA campaign.
Dr. G. O. Gunter, of this city,
president of the Tri-County Medical
Society, has received the following
letter regarding the supplemental
work from Dr. Daniel L. Seckinger,
Medical Officer in Charge Typhus
Control Project:
we are now setting up a few mo
bile units. These units will be com
posed of men who will go into the
different counties and there carry
on extermination work at definitely
established foci. The trucks will be
equipped as minature laboratories;
rats trapped from foci where typhus
fever has been occurring will be
combed of their ectoparasites and
sent to the central typhus laboratory
in Atlanta, which has been establish
ed as a section of Grady Hospital
set apart for this work; the disease
will be studied in the ectoparasites;
and an attempt will be made to
transmit the virus to laboratory
animals.
As soon as the mobile unit trap- i
pers have obtained sufficient labora
tory material, they will immediate
ly institute other forms of extermi
nation at the definite established
foci.
The first work to be done by the
mobile units will be in your respec
tive counties (Early, Calhoun and
Randolph), not only because of the
amount of typhus fever that has
been reported, but because your or
ganization was the first medical
group to emphasize the importance
and request assistance in the con
trol of rats and typhus fever.
Our representatives will doubt
less contact all the physicians of
your Society, and I trust will be i
of assistance to you and the people ■
generally in the establishment of foci |
and control of typhus. I hope to be
able to go into your section within •
the near future, possibly next week, I
and I shall be very glad to attend a |
meeting of your Society, at which |
time it will be possible to more ;
fully explain the program, if my■
visit happens to be at such time the;
! Society is meeting.
THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
And it rained, and sleeted and was
cold, —so there were only thirty
two folk brave enough—or foolish
enough, as one good man called it—
to be in the Lord’s house for the
preaching service. We did a little
better for Sunday School (you know
our names are on the roll, and we
are marked ‘absent’ when we are not
at Sunday School!), having fifty-one
marked ‘present.’ The statement
above quoted has set us to thinking,
and as this writer will be out of
town when this first appears he will
just think out loud: Surely it is not
a foolish thing to go up to the House
of the Lord and engage in worship
on a Sunday morning, for not one
of us would live in Blakely if the
churches were removed. And the
only thing which keeps churches
here, and keeps civilization here,
and makes life worth living is this
going up to the House of the Lord
on Sundays and worshipping Him.
So, if these thirty-two were foolish,
it was because the weather was cold.
But we didn’t make the weather, and
we didn’t think it was foolish to go
to school, or to work because it
rained or was cold, did we?—Oh well,
we are glad these came, and more
will come next time.
Sunday chool next Sunday at 9:45.
If you are not getting in on these
fine lessons on the Life of Jesus
you are missing something fine.
There’s a place for you, if you are
not going elsewhere, and we will be
glad to have you at the 11 a. m.
service, the pastor preaches on “A
Changed Man”, the lesson is from
that little known book PHILEMON.
The B. Y. P. U.’s meet at 6:00 with
interesting programs and the 7 p. m.
service brings another sermon: “The
Only Way”, earnestly, prayerfully
evangelistic. Invite the neighbor to
come with you to this service.
The Woman’s Missionary Society
meets at the Church Monday at 3
p. m. and the Sunbeams at the same
time and place. Prayermeeting and
Choir Practice on Wednesday at 7
P- m.—the theme of study is “Practi
cal Religion”, Roman’s 12 to 15.'
It is hoped that all our people
are beginning to think about, talk
about and pray about our REVIVAL
I which has been announced for the
'two weeks, March 18-April 1.. Dr.
■ George C. Gibson, pastor at Tifton,
is our Preacher, and we believe we
are going to have a great meeting.
Keep it on your heart and in your
mind and let us lay aside other things,
for those two precious weeks and
make this mean the most to us and
| our dear ones and to our town and
' church.

JESUS’ POWER TO HELP
Lesson for Feb. 18: Matt. 8:9
Golden Text: Matt. 9:13
By REV. CHAS E. DUNN
In these two chapters we read of
a number of remarkable miracles.
Only one of them, the rebuking of;
the stormy sea, treats of the Mas
ter’s control of inanimate nature.
All the rest are miracles of healing,
and therefore highly personal. In
rapid review Matthew sketches for
us the healing of a leper, of a cen
turion’s servant, of Peter’s mother
in-law, of two who were insane, of
a victim of paralysis, of a woman
afflicted with a hemorrhage, of two
blind men, and a dumb man who
was also insane. In addition, we
have the touching narrative of the
raising of the daughter of Jairus.
Now we must never forget that
the real miracle is not the healing
act so much as the warmth of com
passion behind it. The sympathy,
the loving kindness, the pity of Jesus
furnish the key to a true under
standing of the miracles. Much time
has been wasted in a wordy debate
as to whether the miracles actually
took place as recorded, and many
attempts have been made to ration
alize them. All of this is beside
the point, for the real wonder is
the sheer kind-heartedness of the
Master. And there need be no dis
pute about this. All of us can un
derstand it. For there is nothing
so lasting and intelligible as the
grace of tenderness.
A superb contemporary example
of this compassion is to be found
in the amazing career of Albert
Schweitzer, that versatile genius who
has won distinguished fame in three
fields, as musician, theologian, and
medical missionary. Not satisfied
with his impressive record as one
of the greatest of living organists,
and one of the most fearless of the
students of the New Testament, he
became a doctor and went to the
heart of equatorial Africa, where
he has long labored to bring health
and comfort to the black natives af
flicted with tropical disease.

Co., carrying a complete line of
