PREAGHERS DISCUSS CHRISTIANS™ DUTIES {Christianity Humanly Im ! possible; Men too Busy; i Neced Separation ( “The fact that Christianity pre sents a standard of perfeéction, in the command ‘Be ye perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect’, comforts many Christians with the confidence that their religion' is final, that it will never be surpass ed or superseded. But this fact is also most disturbing, for Christ lijanity demands what is humanly impossible.” “Men are too busy to study the word of God, too busy to pray, to busy to do personal work; they are so engrossed with the matter of {time that they forget eternal is ;sues. There is a lack of responsi bhility on every side, a failure to lm‘opm‘ly evaluate opportunity.” , “It iz not sinless perfection nor Ithe total eradieation of the sin [principle, but separation from the world and unto God; as hushand and wife are separated from all others and unto each other, The result of such separation is a god iy walk, a life of service, absolute safety and unruffled peace and Ijoy.” Those are feature quotations from three of the preachers con ducting revival services in Athens this week. 1 Rev. C. Ray Jordan, High Point,i N. C., mode the first statement at the First Methodist church Wed nesday night: “But this fact i¢ also most disturbing for Christi anity demands what is humanly impossible. “Ag an illustration, we recall the exhortation of Jesus, ‘Love your enemies’ ”, Rev. Jordan continued. “It is humanly impossible to have a pontive regard of care for the people who give us one reason af ter another for disliking them. What, then, is the way out? How shall we meet the issue? There is but one way: I ¢annot do what God requires, but He can. T thére fore let Him in my life, and give Him right of way in my attitude my spirit, my character, I receive divine strength. «When someone asks how this is possible, it is only necessary to observe how one personality can transfer to another courage and strength. General Lee inspired his soldiers by his high courage to fling their lives away! Others have proven the same abllity, in one way or another, to inspire, encourage, and thus to give to less resolute men the strength they need. 2 - “Thig impartation of courage and strength does not depend on phy sical presence. The memory of mother—even after she is “dead— often holds us true to ideals she ughts 1 € : T . “psychology. has been saying much- about the impartation of in spiration. in these last few years.

SAVANNAH, Ga.—(AP)—Geor gia's bi-centennial celebration, in the making for the past two years and symbolic of the state’s 200 years of ' life, was unflerway Thursday. ~ Thousands of persons, many from adjoining states, filled the hotels and the streets were crowd ed to overflowing with crowds awaiting 4 p. m, for the opening of the great pageant in Municipal stadium, mdae up of six episodes and seéven processions. More than 2,500 persons were to move across the gigantic stage erected in the stadium. They were resplendent in costumes of the past to depict Georgia dating from pre-colony days. The stadium was a perfeet his torical setting for the event. It is located only. a few blocks from the actual landing place of James Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, in 1783. ' Sufrrounding it are hisforical spots unsurpassed by any other section of Georgia. Within a few miles of the pag eant site evidences of the earliest contacts of the white man with the Indian in the nation's history, have been found. . The Spanish missionaries shown in the opening episode of the pag eant, pushed along the Georgia coast from Florida in an effort to Christianize the Indians and to plant the golden banner of Spain over the new country. Bloody Marsh And only a few miles away is the site of the battle of Bloody Marsh, where the little band of English and Colonial soldiers un der General Oglethorpe won a con flict that assured the English flag the right to fly over the new terri tory, Later, in TRevolutionary times, history shows that gunpowder taken from the British stores at Savannah, was scnt eastward so thunder forth at Bunker Hill. The sturdy oak ribs which were fabricated into the frigate “Con stitution” came from old Gascoyne Bluff, further down the Georgia coast. ] ' All these and numerous other events, are shown in Thursday’s "pageant. After the opening sc2ne, the Spanish missionaries and traders seeking contact with the Indians, there is a meeting of the trustees of the colony in London., General Oglethorpe is seen per sonally presentings applicants and has a word in selecting them for the trip to the new country. The sonally presenting applicants and annah contributed this particular scene. Next the British colonizer Is shown landing at Yamacraw Bluff and his meeting with Tomochichi, Mico of the Indians, is depicted. There follows a long procession of “events, indicative of the rellg ious freedom of the new land and the encouragement given to set ‘tlers of different faith and relig !ious belief. The Salzburgers receive the Communion cup, the Hebrews ar }}rive- along with the Masons, Mora vians, Highlanders, Wesleys, Hab ershams and Whitfield. ; Then the famous Midway So ciety, still in existence and ecele .brating Memorial day only Wed nesday, comes ort the scene. : I The next procession showed la ‘ter colonial life—iife. of the Eigh teenth century.

Help Pay Off Back Salaries CHICAGO — () — Out of the whirlwind of their military activi ties there came to Chicago’s un paid teachers Thursday a new ray of hope that their financial priva tions 'may!' come to an end through legislative action. It came from Mayor Edward J. Kelley after two days of near riotous conditions, which reached peak Wednesday when militant teaghers beat against the harri caded doors of the Chicago Title and Trust company, besieged the First National bank, and marched on the eity hall, making verbal charges that the ecity’'s bankers had refused them ald by failing to purchase tax warrants, | “l have agreed with the bhankers to act to cut expenses of the school board,”” the mayor told them. “When this fs done and legislation i passed to force tax I)ay'nuor|t.~=,,“ the bankers will advance a sub-, stantial amount of money.” i i In Springfield Thursday the mayor hopes for progress before the legislature, with his program, iwhich provides for drastic re {trenchmeng of school * operating lexpens’es and action by the gener ‘:ll assembly to break a tax strike |in Chicago which 'has heen one lof the stumpnling blocks toward | pulling the school system out of !thn financial quagmire. “There will be no further dem onstrations for a week now that we have a guarantee of aid,” said John M. Fewkes, a teacher who led the demonstrators numbering about 3,000 in Wednesday’s march which resulted in a general melee, tying up traffic and catching the police temporarily off their guard. They finally brought about order, but not wuntil their uniforms had been torn. About five teachers had been injured. None was seri ously hurt.

R. ‘Wilcox has accepted the presidency of Shorter college, he said Thurs day over the telephone from Rome where he is headmaster of Dar lington school, a prepartaory insti tution for boys. £ He said he had notified the trus tees of his acceptance and will as sume his new duties immediately in addition to retaining his posi tion as Darlington headmaster. Election of Dr. Wilcox, a Pres byterian, to the presidency of the Baptist-controlled woman's col lege, was protested Wednesday in a 4 statement issued by former Governor 1.. G. Hardman and Dr. L.. R, Christie, from the former’s home at’' Commerce. Dr, Hardman is chairman of the Shorter board and Dr. Christie is a member. They based their objection on the contention that his heading the college is “in plain violation of the definite ipiplication of the will of Alfred Shorter, whose gen erous bequest provided the foun dation of the instituton.” . Dr. Wilcox, a native of Elber ton, Ga., is a graduate of David son college. He received his mas ter’'s degree from Johns Hopkins. Before assuming the headmaster ship of Darlington he was con nected with the MeCallie school at Chattanooga. He succeeds Dr. D. W. Furry as president of Shorter.

Sharp percentage gains reflect of course, the rebound from ‘the extremely low levels of the Marzh banking erisis. Nevertheless, some lines are approaching, or have ac tuaily crossed, the levels of this period last year. Much of the im provement has been against nore mal seasonal trends. A The false upturns experienced previously in the depression have taught business executives to exe amine such bulges as the current one critically. Reports from many parts of the country, however, ine dicate a pronounaed rebirth of confidence, together with fattening order books: . Automobile production for April according to present indications, may show a gain over April las§ yvear. After falling to some 90,000 cars. and trticks in March, “tha sw.ft quickening in output thm month, aecording to trade author itics, should carry it above th# 144,000 produced in April, 1932. Steel production has risen to the hé =t levels in ‘more than a year. Operations are estimated by ‘‘from Age” for this week at 25 perceng of capacity. The average for April last year was just under that, and for the full month of last Marci, less than 16 percent. Steel proe duction usuwally reaches its seas sonal peak in March. CGziined Steadily Ireight gar loadings have galine ed steadilys in April, contrary té the seasor@l trend, which usually carries them to a peak in March. The average thus far this montly has been 490,000 cars, against 460,« 090 in March, and 489,000 in Feb ruary. ot Last week’s production of eléce tric power in the United States, a@ estimated by the Edison Electrie Institnte, was only 2.6 percent uns= der the like week of last year, the smallest such divergénce in 21 months. The figures indicated a pronoune ced increase in the use of indus trial power. Latest mercantile reviews report a sustained volume of retail trade. The usual pronounced slump after Easter soems to have failed to materialize. S The mwoderate rise in commm‘tv prices, coincident with inflatidnary psychology, has evidently stimu lated buying. With domestic cop: per prices rising from 5 S-l% a pound to 6 1-2, one of the larg est producors reports the bigges§ sales in mores than a year. = At this time eof year, many busi. ness lines normally begin to pre-: pare for the usual summer slump. April is usually the peak month for automobile manufacturers, al though trade reports now indicate higher schedules in May. . ~ Many business executives exs press the hope that the belated seasonal upswing in business this lm can be kept under way, and (Continued on Page Tw: SRR e n,,,».«f;a';;‘ M S b g seo R |
