Forum Sunday School Class Of First
Methodist Church Has Reqular
Business, Social Meeting On Tuesday
~ The Methodist Forum Sunday
;school clasg held its monthly busi
ness and social meeting Tuesday
evening in the recreation rooms ot
the church, with the president, Mr.
L. H. Cunningham, presiding.
After several songs by the audi
ence, Dean William Tate of the
University of Georgia was intro.
duced as guest speaker. He quoted
Psalm 19: 14 which reads: “Let
the words of my mouth and the
meditationg of my heart be accept
able in thy sight, O Lord, my
strength and my redeemer”.
Mr. Tate spoke at length on the
meaning of words relating to re
ligion. Some of the words as given
were: infidel—one who ig unfaith
ful, or, ong who accepts a religi
on not one’s gwn; orthodox — de
scribes one who believeg in a set
dostrine; ap unorthodox person is
one who differs from the set doc
trine in minor points, but believes
in the essential points; a person
who is radical in his views is call
ed a heretic; an atheist believes
there is np Supreme being; an
agnostic has made no definite de
cision, and admitg he does not
know; a pgtheist believes God is
in éverything in the whole uni
verse; a theist believes in a Su
preme Being who is divine.
The speaker pointed out the
beautiful lesson to be learned from
a gtudy of the bee and the flower;
the miracle of the stars; the mar
velous wonder of the human hand
and the eye, He said that to
watch a young child develop is a
constant miracle. “The rvejuvena
tion of life in all nature about us
causes one to believe that back of
all life is some sort of hand that
is more than human, it ig divine”,
said Dean Tate,
. Mr. A. S. Darden and Miss
Katherine Butler sang as a duet,
“It Pays To Servce Jesus”, with
Mrs. A, S. Darden as accompan

Women's Field Army In Fight
To Save Human Lives
Sounds The Call For Battle
BY MRS. H. B. RITCHIE
Commander Georgia Division of
Women's Field Army for Control
of Cancer
This is addressed to the thinking
men and women of Georgia because
we want you to know the facts
about our program for control of
cancer through education,
We are confident that when you
know what MUST eb done; when
you realize both the eeonomic and
‘humanitarian reasons for our ef
forts, you will be prompt to re
spond to this appeal to enlist in
the Women’s Field Army of the
American Society for Control of
Cancer.
- Cancer is bringing death to 150,-
000 in this country ever year. In
‘our own state of Georgia it killed
11,782 men and women, in all sta
itions of life, during last year alone,
Against this, consider the fact that
all the years of the World War
claimed only 1,550 Georgians
through both sickness and battle
together.

—Publicity Chairman,
recognized medical authorities to
control the alarming geath toll of
cancer, which has a mortality rate
second only to heart diesase. Medi
cal science has done much in the
profession to spread knowledge of
proper diagnosis ang treatment,
but the doctors need us to assist
in getting patients to them early
enough for treatment to be ef
fective. ¥
' One pity i€ that- eancer often
goes unnoticed, causing no pain,
!until it has become planted in the
‘human body so thoroughly that
cure is hopeless when suffering be
ging. Accordingly it is essential
that we tell the people how to
recognize the early, painless symp
toms of the disease go that they
may be cured. Records here in
Georgia show cases of cancer cured
as long as fitfeen years or more
ago. Hence our slogan of “Early
Cancer Is Curable; Neglected Can
cer Fatal; Fight It With Knowl
edge.”
Progress Shown
Our last year’s campaign proved
~~ FHE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GA,
that we are progressing and that
we can do our part in our combined
task with physicians., From every
county in the state we hear of
more and more people asking early
diagnosis. This important service
continues to be our job on the
basis of enlistment.
\ This year interest is increasing.
iPresident. Roosevelt, the Congress,
and Georgia's Governor Rivers have
officially endorsed the “National
program for control of cancer -by
education”; have calleq upon all
agencies and individuals “to unite
during the moth of April, 1938, in
a public dedication to such a pro
gram and in a concerted effort to
impress upon the people of the
nation THE NECESSITY FOR
SUCH A PROGRAM,” now being
carried on in 46 states.
I appeal to all Georgians to
recognize this necessity of fighting
cancer with knowledge by enlisting
in the Women's Field Army for
Control of Cancer, Any information
you want will be furnished gladly
