Toduy’s Bible Meditation
i eI
The word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword . . . and is
a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
hvrt . . . But we have One that hath been in
all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
“ae.s hot ue therefore come boldiy onto the
throne of grace.
: 604 sees us and waches over us. He knows ex
exactly what our thoughts are. He even Knows our
intentions. This being the case, we cannot escape
His Scrutiny. Our only hope is to run as fast as we
can _from our wicked thoughts. Our goal is God's
throne of grace. Grace means a gift, freely offered
fn our favor, and He has plenty to give away. If we
do nbt run to get it, we may never get it at all. It
is fi&pdertul that God sends anything to us at all.
Whefi He sends His grace to us, it is like receiving
a sample of unlimited goods from a distant ware
house. We have full admission into God's store
houi_q!'.“b,f love and mercy. We need not be timid
aboyt going to it. We may go boldly for His bless
ing."
Women of the Confederacy |
s
e —————
“Miss Mary Stanley Freeman s the winner of the
Ellen A. Crawford prize, offered to the member of
the £llen Crawfrod chapter, Children of the Confed
eragy, writing the pest essay on the subject: Wo
men of the Confederacy.
This prize of fiye dollars was offered by Miss
Annie Crawford, in memory of her mother, ini Whose
memory the chapter was named.
Miss Rose Walkér Mayne, director of the Ellen
Crawford chapter, gave a sketch of the history .of
the chapter at the Memorial Day eXercises held by
the Laura Rutherford chapter, U.D.C., in the Uni
versity chapel, Sunday, April 26, and presented the
prize to Miss Freeman.
The prize essay follows:
When I was little I used to love to hear my
Mmpther tell me about the plantation life of
viden days. How before the War Between the
States the women were treated like queens. They
never had to do any work at all for there were
.ls,fi’&s to do each little job. Onme little slave when |
being asked what was her job answered “My job is
mostly just to hunt for 'Ol Missis’' specks.” |
Eyen though the slaves did have all the work to
do they didn't mind because they loved their “O
Migses” very dearly. It was a common sight to see
<4ol Miss"” with her herb basket on her arm witk
all of her home-made remedies going around to
the slave quarters looking after the little babies
and those who were sick,
On Sundays al! the slaves were called to the ,'Big
House” where the “oOld Master” would read the Bible
and the “Old Miss” would teach the little children
theipnßunday school lessons.
Biif "when the war hezan every thing changed.
The men leaving home left all the resposibility to
the women and girls
'ghg women devoted their liveg in helping their
husbands, brothers and sens. They sold their jew
elry tor raise mceney for the army. They tore their
linen to make bandages and splints for the sol
dte;l's. They opened their homes to the wounded
m’ nursed them night and day. Many wives of
planters conducted their farms and gave what they
raised to the army. They sewed and knitted all the
clothes the soldiers had. At the railroad stations
th&y had wayside inns where they fed the soldiers
that were being sent to different regiments,
A_ll the women did their share but one who should
be given a lot of credit is Miss Saliy Tompkins, of
Richmond, Va.
She made her beautiful old colonial home into one
of the best hospitals the Confederacy had. She used
hes own servants to wait on the sick, and her own
mohey to feed them. She put cots in every room
en?‘had every bed furnished with linen and the
sick swith bed clothing,
Most of the credit of the war goes to the men but
the women did as much as the men. The girls and
women had to fitht hard to be brave when they were
talting care of the sick. They had to be cheerful
and happy to help cheer the soldiers.
'fihe women, who had never had to face such hor
rible experiences as they did during the war, stood
the sight of blood and of the dying men whom they
loved, ;
It iw ‘®aid that no other country ever produced as
braive and self-sacrificing women as the South did
duting .the war. The women followed the motto of
theélr youngest state, “Not for themslves but others.”
The South is proud of theis women and the women
are proud of the South.
: ‘:ho,v' show it by raising their children to love
and cherish the South. They have the U. D. C.s
and the C. of C.'s which teach the childrea to love
and liotior the South and the old veterans. They send
the yeterans boxes at special cccasions to let them
knewtheir remembrance.
’t%eople will keép their love for the South as
long a& they have.their patriotic women.

“MOTORISTS’ TEN COMMANDMENTS”
In an effort to reduce the number of
automobile accidents and fatalities, civic
clubs, safety councils, traffic organiza
tions and various other =agencies have
combined to bring to the attention of mo
torists, the necessity of practicing care
when driving on the streets and highways.
Qne of the best warnings we have read
is the “Ten Commandments” written by
Episcopal Bishop Stewart of Chicago.
If these commandments are read and
followed, the number of accidents and
will show a material decrease this year.
The Commandments follow :
*“1. Thou shalt keep ‘safety first’ ever
before thee.
“2. Thou shait not make of thyself a
danrgercus nuisance, nor the likeness of
anyone that grabbeth the road beside and
the road ahead and cutteth in and out of
the line.
“3, Thou shalt not take the laws of
the state in vain for the cop and the judge
will not hold him guiltless that taketh the
laws in vain.
~ “4, Remember thy brakes and tires
and take curves slowly.
“5 Honor the red lights and the green
lights that thy days may be long in the
land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
“6. Thou shalt not kill.
“7. Thou shalt not stop abruptly.
“8, Thou shalt not steal—past a street
car, loading and unloading.
“9, Thou shalt not flash big lights
againgt thy neighbor.
“10. Thou shalt not shove-it, thy neigh
bor’s car nor his fenders, nor his bumpers,
nor his locks, nor his glass, nor anything
that is thy neighbor’s.”
With automobile accidents increasing
annually, unless a sane and careful pro
gram is adopted by motorists the death
rate is bound to reach beyond all reason
and cause the streets and highways to be
come veritible death traps, Municipal or
}dinances may be adopted by the mayor
and councilmen, and state laws for the
control of traffic may be enacted by the
legislature, but after all, the safety of the
people and their protection rests entire
ly with the motoriste. The careful motor
ist can save the public from accidents and
fatalities; the reckless motorist can cause
more destruction and deaths than all oth
er agencies of transportation,
“KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES”
Since the advent .of the depression in;
1929, the people in all sections of the
country have undergone many hardships
in an effort to keep up their former‘
mode ot living. Especially, have the peo
ple in the large cities of the nation met
with trying times. In fact their incomes
have been reduced, they have been forced
to live only a little better than the pau
per. Some economists and financiers tell
‘ug that the peovle living in small towns
ana villages have fared much better than
those whose lives have always been spent
in the large comunities of the country.
That may be true, in a way, but those liv
ing in the small communities and even on
the farms have suffered their share of de
prviation. ;
The editor of the Republican Tribune,
published in Charlotte, Michigan, relates
an interesting personal experience he met
with a short time ago, which is as follows:
“There is some compensation in being
a small puddle toad. We had a visit with
a man the other day whose income in the
early days of the depression slumped
from $40,000 one year to $2,100 the next.
In other words, he said he couldn’t pare
down his style of living at the same rate
that his income dwindled. For example,
he was paying SSO a week for a flat
which he had under lease, his automo
biles were in keeping with his exclusive
Chicago neighborhood. In other words,
the person with the average small town
income missed these heart-breaking ex
periences. Me may have had a rap or two
but few people in small towns have had
any crimp put in their normal standards
of livipg.”
~ There is much in what the Michigan
‘editor has to say. A majority of the peo
ple in the large cities of the country
‘merely exist. While those in the smaller
towns and cities live an entirely differ
ent life—one of friendship and coopera
tion; a brotherly love exists and a spirit
of comradeship. Yes, life among the peo
ple in the large cities and life among the
people in the towns and small cities is an
entirely different existence. ?
COLLEGE GRADUATES IN DEMAND
One of the most wholesome indications
of a return of improved conditions is the
large number of requests being filed with
the colleges and universities of the coun
try by firms and corporations offering
employment to their graduates. It is inter
esting to note that in every instance, the
amount of salaries has been increased
over that of 1935.
The secretary of appointments for the
personnel bureau at Columbia University
has received more requests for graduates
than that institution will be able to fill,
the requests coming from industrial and
commercial organizations. The pay for
such graduates in 1935 averaged around
SIOO a month, whereas this year, the av
erage is $125 the month. Those who paid
practically no fixed scale are now offer
ing from SBS to SIOO a month.
For the past five or six years, college
graduates met with little encouragement.
iln fact only a small percent of graduates
jsucceeded in securing employment at a
Iliving wage, but with the bright prospects
[now before them, these young men should
ifeel greatly encouraged.
So sacred is the cow among Hindus that
to mention its dissection for food would
defile the tongue, they believe,
