Toduy’s Bible Meditation
' Wednesday, May 13—Read Hebrews 8:7-16,
Today i he will hear His voice, harden not
your hearts. . . . Exhort one another daily, while
it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened
through the deceitfulness of sin.
To hear Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for the first
titne causes a sense 0f alarm and doubt, The first
violins begin a cry. The flutes and oboes put in a
wail, growing louder and louder. You do not call
the music beautiful; it is too startling. Beethoven
meant to represent terror and struggle. You hear
confusion and crash, Yet there are flashes of melo
dy and glimpses of harmony.
A careless, sinful life is a life of confusion, terror,
struggle. If your heart is not too hardened, you get
flashes of the melody of God's love. You see glimpsse
ot.His divine harmony,
Beethoven’s music has to be explained, lest you
hear only confusion.
God’s way has to be explained to sinners, lest they
hear of nothing but confusion, Therefore we have
to' exhort one another daily,
Characteristics of a Good Citizen
Miss Eloise Beckwith, member of the senior
class at Athens High school, won honorable
mention in a recent statwide contest sponsored
by the P.-T. A. FEloise is a daughter of I-‘nxf
‘and Mrs. W. S. Beckwith, Mrs. Beckwith is
retiring president of the High School P.-T. A. |
. BY ELOISE BECKWITH \
‘“ls it strange that queens and kings |
Afid clowns that caper in sawdust rings o )
"And common folk like you and me
tAre builders for eternity? f
'To each is given a book of rules
« A shapeless mass and a bag of tools,
*And each, must make ere life is flown
© A stumbling block or a stepping stone.”
"~ Everyone ‘is a citizén and builder in this wondere
ful world of regularity. In everything, evidences of
design, order, and purpose are seen. It rests with
us. alone whether we, as citizens of this beautiful
warld, shall fit harmoniously into it, or whether we
shall be a discord.
“No man liveth unto himself,” says the Good
Book. It has also been stated that every person,
young or old, rich or poor, influences at least ten
other persons. Would it not be best then for e’ch
of u® to live up to this responsibility by setting a
good example and by being a good citizen? Just as
we are still influenced by our forefathers, so our
daily lives will print a stamp future generations
Let us then be very careful how we live,
The question arises, * Who is a good citizen?”
Jesus said that a good citizen is a good neighbor—
one who loves his fellowman as himself,- Someone
else has said that a good citizen is one who puts a
little more into life than he expects to get out of it
Or another way of expressing it: “A good citizen is
one who acts to produce as many values as potsible
for as many people as possible as long as possible.”
How to live the Dest, the noblest, and the happiest
life is the foremost thought in the life of a good
citizen,
The second question is: “What are the character
jstics of a good citizen and how may we acquire
them ?”
The power of one's purpose and will cannot be
overestimated. It takes hold of the heart of man
and spans his whole life, A person is admired the
world over if he knows his own mind and lives up
to his own convictions, The men whose names have
made history have been men of vision, determination,
and action. There is a great deal of truth in the
following poem by an unknown author:
“Life’s battles don't always g 0
To the better or stronger man:
But soon or late, the man who wins
Is the man who thinkg he can.” |
Fate or accident has very little to do with a per
son’s success in life, It has been said that four
things never come back: the spoken word; the Sped;
arrow; the past life; and the neglected opportunity.
“As a general rule, those who say they have no op
portunity despise small ones; and those who de
-Bpise small ones never get large ones, It is not acci
dent that helps a man in this world, but purpose
4nd persistent industry, These two qualities make‘
& man keen to discern opportunities and to make
the most of them. It depends on the individual and
on the wise yse of his time, both occupied and lei- |
‘,qure,‘lto recognize and to use to the best advantages ‘
‘the opportunities as they present themselves. |
To be able to accomplich one's purpose, oneg must
have. bravery and courage, perseverance and pa
tience. There is no need to say much about bravery
and eourage. Bronze and marble commemorate them;
bu; the glories and triumphs of bravery and courage
will }'emaln when bronze and marble have long since
crumbled. They have placed laurels on every brow,
though sometimes unseen by human eye. It mat
ters not how strong our muscle and bone; unless
we have courage we are weaklings. No battle was
eéver won by discouraged soldiers, and few battles
of any sort are won when heart, courage and cheer
fulness and optimism run low.
Afgm‘ the battle is once started it takes persever
ance and patience along with the bravery and coure
age to bring victory. They are co-partners. Patience
; has ‘been described as the guardian of faith, the
¢ preserver of peace, the teacher of humility, and the
~endurer of persecutions. Fatience taches us to be
‘cheerful in adversity; she teaches us to forgive those
who have injured us and to be the first in asking
~forgiveness of those whom we have wronged. Surely,

8188 CANDIDATES TO BE
COMMENDED
! At the recent primary held in Macon
|for the nomination of county officers, the
candidates agreed in advance of the pri
'mary that they would not stay at the polls
‘longer than to cast their ballots, nor
would they permit their friends to stand
around the polls giving out election cards
and soliciting the voters to cast their bal
lots for their favorite candidate or candi
dates,
The plan proved to be most acceptable
to all the candidates, and certainly it was
la great relief to the voters, It is seldom a
Ivoter goes to the polls without having his
mind already made up as to whom he will
lvote for. We do not believe that solicita
ltions on the part of candidates or their
friends gain for them a single vote, but on
the other hand we are of the belief that
the candidate who adopts such methods
or allows his friends to solicit votes at
Ithe polls, loses votes.
In Clarke county, under the Australian
ballot system, no one is allowed on the
fsecond floor of the court house, except
the managers and clerks and the voters.
These are restricted to so many for en
trance into the voting booths—not more
than four to six are allowed access to the
booths at a time. As fast as a voter com
pletes marking his ballot and casts it with
the managers, he is required to immedi
ately come from the booth and another
voter is permitted to follow him.
It has been discussed by the members
of the Democratic Executive Committee
to bar all candidates and voters from the
court house entrance, requiring them to
remain on the sidewalks and forbidden to
give out cards and other literature in the
interest of any of the candidates, How
ever, since women are permitted to vote,
a great many of them are employed by
the various candidates to check the voters
list and otherwise urge the voters to come
to the polls and vote. To require these
ladies to have their tables and chairs on
the sidewalk, in front of the court house,
it is argued, would work a hardship on
them. However, we hope to see the day
come in Clarke county when all the
candidates will agree to suspend the cus
tom of paid workers and the distribution
of campaign literature,
WHO ORIGINATED MOTHERS’ DAY?|
Every year some one raises the question |
as to the originator or suggestor of Moth-|
er's Day. The Philadelphia Ledger states|
most positively that the founder or origi-|
nator was Mis Annas Jarvis, of that city.l
We are of the belief that the Ledger isl
correct. In 1914, Miss Jarvis called on
President Woodrow Wilson and congress,|
prevailing upon them to legalize the defi-!
‘nition. That much is true and since that\
time, Mother’s Day observance has grown
throughout the nation. It is most appl~o~‘
priate and one of the most appealing of
all occasions observed by our people.
From ancient days, there have been‘i
adopted expressions to pay tribute to
Mother. Some of them as enumerated by
the Ledger are as follows:
“God could .not be everywhere, and
therefore he made mothers.—Jewish say-l
ing.
“When Eve was brought unto Adam.l
he became filled with the Holy Spirit, and
gave her the most sanctified, the most
glorious of appellations. He called her
Eve, that is to say, the mother of all. He
did not style her wife, but simply mother
—mother of all living creatures. In this
consists the glory and the most precious
ornament of woman.—Luther,
“Nature’s loving proxy, the watchful
mother.—Bulwer,
“I think it must somewhere be written,
that the virtues of mothers shall be visit
ed on their children, as well as the sins of
ithe fathers.—Dickens,
“The future destiny of the child is al
ways the work of the mother.—Napoleon.
“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to
my angel mother.—Lincoln,
“All that I am my mother made me.—
John Quincy Adams.
‘““An ounce of mother is worth a pound
of clergy.—Spanish Proverb.
“If there be aught surpassing human
deed or word or thought, it is a mother’s
love.—Marchiones de Spadara.
“The babe at first feeds upon the moth
er’'s bosom, but is always on her heart.—
H. W. Beecher.
“A man never sees all that his mother
has been to him till it’s too late to let her
know that he sees it.—W. D. Howells.
“Maternaltlove! thou word that sums
all bliss.—Polok,
“No language can express the power
and beauty and heroism and majesty of a
mother’s love. It shrinks not where man
cowers, and grows stronger where man
faints, and over the wastes of worldly
fortune sends its radiance of its qunech
less fidelity like a star in heaven.—E. H.
Chapin.
“RBven He that died for us upon the
cross, in the last hour, in the unutterable
agony of death, was mindful of his moth
er, as if to teach us that his holy love
should be our last wordly thought —the
last point of earth from which the soul
should take its flight for heaven.—Long
fellow.”
Culture pearls, true pearls that are
started artificially, cannot be distinguish
ed from natural ones even by X-ray, yet
they are worth only a fraction as much.
It is predicted that more than 200,000
people will use air transportation for the
first time during 1936.

Dr.E.L Hill Pays
'High Tribute to Local
. Boy Scout Executive
By L. W. REMBER
Paying rich tribune to the high
leadership qualities of “Uncle
Charlie” Wilson, head of scouting
in the Atheng district, Dr. E. L.
Hill, pastor of the First Presby
terian church, said in a radiy ad
dress Jast night that the church
cannot do better than to throw her
influence behind the Scout move
ment,
Dr. Hill, in giving the last of
a series of Scouting talks over
WTFI, spoke on the subject
“Scoutng, As the Church Sees It”.
Of Scout Executve Wilson, the
Reverend Hill said: |
“Athens js fortunate in having
as the head of the Scout move
meng in this district a man, who is
sane and sound in judgment, whc |
ig eclean and high-toned in living
and gentle and kind in his sym
pathies, and beloved by us all—
‘Uncle Charlie’ Wilson.” |
Any movement, Dr, Hill empha.
sized, which tends to make for
“clean and wholesoming living,
clear and deep thinking, and fair
and straightforward acting, 351
does Scouting” deserveg the sup
port of every worthwhile organi-l
zation, moral, religious, and secu
lar, |
Likening the passing of the olc
fashion Christian home to the 00‘?
curance of a great calamity, Dr. |
Hill said: 1
“The great men of the world
have been men wh, have carried}
the torch-light of righteousness
into darkened places, and they
have lighted their torches at the
altars of the Christian home,
“The greatest influence of the
home is its ability to touch the
voung life when impressions can
be made for good or bad, as the
case might be; and if these im
pressions are not made at this
formative period of life they will
never be made—and that is exact
ly the motive for the existence of
the Boy Scout movement to build
into a boy during his early, plas
tic years, life-long controlling
habits of good character and good
citizenship.

| CHARACTERISTICS OF
' A COOD CITIZEN
l (Continued from Column One) |
'te be a good citizepr we must have
‘patlence and perseverance.
Most peop:e consiaer good health
as simply a person’s good foune,
But it is more than that. It is our
duty as_ citizens to preserve our
good health if we have it; ana if
we do not, we should strive to ac
quire it. *“But,” you £ay, ‘“health
cannot pe aecquired zlways.’’ That
is true—sometimes it <annot; but
that is all the more reason why we
should prize It. pr. Johnson says,
“Health is so necessary to all the
duties as well as pleasures of life!
that the crime of squandering it
equals the folly.”
A good citizen will make the most
of every opportunity to become
learned and educated, even if he
must educate nimseif. The educa
tion one receives at school and at
college is ognly the beginning, and
is valuable only so far as it tramsl
the mind, that it may continue to
study and apply. Educgtion is al
lifelong process, continuing so lc;mg|
as individuals meet new problems.
A good citizen pursues knowledge
lthroughout life; for, as Alexander
Pope has put it, |
“A little learning is a danger
} ous things;
Drink deep or taste not the Pe
rian spring;
There shallow draughts intoxi
cate the brain,
And drinking largely. sobers us
| again.”
l Ramsay MacDonald gives the fol
lowing definition of an educated
man: “An educated man i¢ a man
with certain, subtle, spiritual quali
ties which make him calm in ad
versity, happy when alone, just in
his dealings, rational and sane in
the fullest meaning of the words in
all the affairs of life.” Since our
country is a democracy, it depends
on how well educated our citizens
are as to how great our country
will be. Surely a good citizen will
strive to improve his mind and will
apply this knowledge in the wisel
use of the ballot,
No matter how much learning a
person may have or how many vir
tues he may possess, if he dose not
put them into practice, he is not,
he cannot be a good citizen. He
must be filled with faith, hope and
love for his fellowman; and then
he must serve him, even though it
be only with a smile or a kind word.
“Loving words will cost but little
Journeying up the hill of life.
But they make the weak and
weary
Stronger, braver for the strife.
Do you count them only trifles
What to earth are sun and|
rain?
. Never was a kind word wastd,
' Never was one said in vain.”
. A good citizen, although realiz
ing that he passes the road of life
but once, will help to light the way
for future generations.
“ It has been' said that that which
