New Year’s Greeting
From Mr. Freeman
I take this opportunity and privi
lege as a long-time personal friend
of the Early County News and the
families of my native county, Early,
to wish you at the closing season
contentment and satisfaction in the
work well done through these days
of the receding span.
Once more the tide of time has
scrolled the curtain of 1941. Mem
ories will assert themselves all down
the lane of years, recalling many
events in the question mark of life’s
destiny as we walk each step. Some
of these memories will be an inspira
tion —some will be tear-stained eyes
around an open grave, some disap
pointments from different angles. As
night brings out the twinkling stars,
so sorrow brings out the charm of
consolation, of friendship and serene
courage, hope, faith, and love that
inspires human destiny. When the
bell of old glory rings out the dying
1941, as an American, as a Geor
gian, as an Early couptian, contact
God and beseech him in all serene
sincerity to make our lives conform
to his will in making this world a
better place to live in. No legisla
ture can —a personal duty you owe '
to brotherhood and to womanhood
for which there is no substitute.
When life’s cycle brings you and
yours to the many changes in the
receding strand of each day, may all
your future days abound in health,
happiness, and life’s richest bless
ings. And fill with a fruition of
your high and noble purpose as you
walk the remaining days of your
destiny. The piling of banks of flow
ers on our loved ones’ graves is the
emblem of love and respect, which
is commendable. Their lips are
hushed, the greeting smile gone, their
personality dissolved, and they have
answered the call of another dawn
where the Lamb and the Lion lie
down together in peaceful slumber
I and the wicked cease from trouble
and the weary be at rest.
Why not practice some of the
love and respect for our brotherhood
and womanhood among our every
day associations in this life? We
pass this way but once. Today is
the day to gather the flowers of
love and joy from the garden of
Life. Today is the day to make
friends and enjoy them. Today is
1 the day to do kind and noble deeds.
Opportunities of tomorrow, may
never dawn your brow—it is a fable
untold. It lies beyond the veil of
midnight, beyond the milky way.
This way of working and toiling your
life away, hoping to accumulate your
bonds, money and blocks of estate
and at some future time retire and
enjoy them, is wrong. You are just
fooling yourself. It doesn’t come
that way. You must get them each
day. A 'cordial greeting, a friendly
remark, a noble deed, all these vir
tues compounded will bring into your
life more contentment, happiness and
joy than all the worries of life’s
dramas. This is the reply to the
man that went this way from the
Master of all men, “Thou fool, thy
soul is required of thee this night . .
What would a man give in exchange
for his soul?”
Sincerely,
JOSEPH FREEMAN.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to express to you our
deepest appreciation for your kind
ness and sympathy during our re
cent bereavement. We shall ever
hold you in grateful remembrance.
