ciples who have, in addition,
knowledge of the art of cookery,
The time is passing, it is point
ed out,. when Iznorance can be
safely left to direction so direc
tion of the preparation of meals.
It is one of the most imporiant
househo!d duties, and can be made
a pleasure instead of drudgery.
Women who have made a study
of dlg.gt and cookery have become
interested in planning and pre
paring meals, and have long since
lost that dread of the kitchen
which formerly marred their
pleasure. Out of this has come a
greater regard for the physical ap
pearance of the kitchen — some
kitchens now have the appear
ance of sun-parlors, almost. Con
veniently arranged appliances for
cooking are finding their way inte
kitchens, shortening the hours of
labor and enabling cooks to pre
pare meals with greater skill and
to give more attention to whether
they are appetizing and healthful.
The Cooking School sponsored
by The Banner-Hera!d is being
planned to be of help in further
ing this movement for more eco
nomically conducted kitchens—
and more pleasing meals.
THE SANNER-H¥RALD, ATHENE, GEORGIA
Rusiness Better ‘
In Georgia Than
In Other States
Business conditions in Georgia
and Alabama are better than in
the other southern states, al
though the outlook for the imme
diate future {is uncertain, accord
ing to the new issue of the Geor
gia Business Review, published by
the Bureau of Business Research
of the School of Commerce of the
‘University of Georgia,
The decline in commodity prices
and especial’y cotton was said to
have had a retarding effect on
business generally. Conditions at
the present time do not point to
ward any marked recovery in
Georgia until somewhat later, al
though there should be some sea
sonal advance as the weather im
proves and outdoor work gets urs
der way, the bulletin explained.
Business in Georgia was charac
terized as spotty, with February
showing improvement over a year
ago in such lines as building, life
insurance sales, wholesale grocery
store sales, retail drug sales,
wholesale drug store sales, elec
tric power consumption, and de
partment store sales.
On the other hand, hardware
store sa'es in February were one
percent below February a year
ago. “This is partly explained,”
according to the Review, “by the
tight credit situation existing in
some sections of the state as a
result of the marked decline in
cotton prices. It is estimated that
farmers hold from 15 to 20 per
cent of last wyear's cotton crop
which has curtailed the ability of
that group to purchase hardware
lines. Men’s clothing sales and
retail furniture store sales show
losses of 12 percent and 16 per
cent respectively when compared
with the corresponding period a
year ago. Clothing and furniture
revresent commodities, the pur
chase of which, the consumer can
defer for some time. Conse
quently, furniture and clothing
sales usually fall off sharply dur
ing periods of industrial depres
sion.”
The Georgia business curve,
which is based on bank debits
corrected for seasona' and secular
trend, showed a decline from the
January level. In addition, the
Brookmore Economic Service on
March 1 estimated that the total
Georgla money income during the
nevt sfx months would amount to
$244,000,000, a decline of seven
percent from the same period a
year ago. On the same compari
son, it is estimated that the nat.
ional income will show a loss of
‘l2 percent,

Michael’s Spring Festival
Teachers of “False”
Doctrines Scored
‘ By Rev. Percente
Using the first 16 wverses of
nke 3 as his Seripture reading,
Rev, Joe Percente spoke last
iight on thce “Foutdation of
Christianity”.
. “Many people had “ollowed Je
sus because they had heard of his
Iworks so He began to
them. Jesus alwavs spoke plainly
‘and illustrated His words from
| life so men could tel! what He
' meant, This parable was about
'i:he Sower that sowed the seed.
i Some seed fell by the wayside.
| some on rocks, some amohy
| .horns and some on the good
| zround and brought forth good
! fruit, some 30, 60 and 100 fold.
. The people asked what Jesuy
{ meant ard to this He replied that
| the Sowed meant God, and the
§2§eél represented the Word of
| God.
“The seed which fell on the
wayside represents the Word that
is heard but the Devil comes
along and takes the Word out of
the heart. The seed on the rock
represents the Word heard with
joy but through lack of fourda
tion or root, are not able to stand
temptation and they wither away,
“The seed which fell among the
thorns represents the word heard
gladly but which is choked with
cares, riches and pleasures of life.
Today peorle hear the word glad
ly but let temptation get the
word away from them. All hear
the word gladly but let it become

choked with pleasures, riches and
worldly cares so they cannot yleld

Those seed which fell on good
ground are they which received
the word with honesty of heart
and kept it and went out and
brought forth much fruit. No
man ought to hide his light under
8 bushel. When a man i«
Christian every other man kuows
it because he will show it by his
life and is not ashamed to go out
and tell others about Christ’s
what He can do for a lost soul
who has wandered away from
God. “By their fruits ye,shall
know them”, says the Scriflture.
We all fall away sometimes, A
Christiat must have foundation
to overcome the pleasures and
temptations and riches of the
world. God gives us the seed:
We cannot grow anything on
rock. It needs something to make
it grow. Christ says He is the
foundation of ' Christianity. He
died to save us from sin- and to
deliver us from tewmptation, [ie
lives again and we ha.e records
of witnesses who have seen Him.
Even Thomas was made to believe
after placing his hand in Christ’s
side. Christ is the same today and
forever He keeps ever promise.
Are we true to II'm? We are
ashamed to tell men and womon
about Ch:ist even though we
know they are sinners and, be
cause we lack foundation, we do
not tell them. When we have the
necessary foundation and keep
the word in the heart it will bring
forth some 100 fold. We must
tell the story or we are not saved

shine”. He is coming soon. We

“Today we have humbug pro:

from God. People have more faith
in man than in God, The Gospel
was given to the Jews first and
they neglected it and if we too
