A Call to the Colors.
(By L. W. Colins)
From the hills of Barrow county, on the
.Sunday after this,
When the morning dawns in splendor,
bright and fair,
As the hosts begin to gather and the
songs of praise arise,
WlwtS the roll is called, next Sunday,
I’ll be there!
Just as the multitudes went up to
the temple at Jerusalem, old and young,
rich and poor, to worship the great
'King, so will the county roads and city
streets be thronged on the coming Sun
day going to “pay their vows unto the
Lord” and to show their to
the great King of all the earth. It is
going to be a wonderful day, and it
will pay to join the procession, and be
in it. Not only are all the Sunday
school regulars at work to enroll all
their forces but new recruits are prom
ising to add to the throngs, and make
this the greatest Lord’s day in the his
tory of the county. A special effort is
being made to interest the folks who
have not been to Sunday school in years
and to give them a demonstration of
what they have missed. It will be a
day for dormant churches to wake up,
and for live churches to gain new lau
rels.
And so grandfather and grandmoth
er will be there to dream again the
dreams of their youth, and to conjure
up blessed memories of days that are
gone, happy memories of oldmeetings
in “the church in the valley by the wild
wood.” And the head of the home and
mother will be there; mother, who has
done two days’ work the day before
to have everything ready, so that she
may bring all the little ones that God
has given her to the place of prayer
where they may learn the lessons that
niay save them from the world’s evil.
And youth, beautiful and red-blooded
youth, will be there, when the bells be
gin to peal, youth with it’s visions,
coming with anew realization of what
life may mean when it’s powers are
surrendered to the service of Christ
and the church and what wonderful
work they may do. And oh, but it will
be worth while to hear the voices of
the little tots as they join in the song
of praise, and in their innocence and
purity come to the children s King.
And the babies will not be missing.
Surely we will not leave the cradle roll
out of this happy gathering “for such
is the kingdom of heaven.”
There never was a time when we
needed God so much and perhaps the
good Lord looking down upon a scene
like this will remember His children
again in blessing. Is it not the prom
ise’ “Turn unto me and I will turn
again unto you.” It is a time, surely,
when we should pay our vows to the
One who is able to help in every time
of need. But it is time also of spirit
ual peril. Our young people have been
drifting, and we have been alarmed at
some of the modern tendencies, but we
alone are to blame. There is only one
place to. go for help, only one “power
unto salvation," and God knows it is
time we were going back there cur
sives. back to the altars of God in or
der to save both ourselves and our
children.
And so let us all join the procession
of worshippers and join the ranks of
those who are going up to the house of
the Lord. May it be a day not only of
renewed interest in the work of Christ
and the church! And not only will be
the hillsides with their spring foliage
seem fairer and the song birds sound
sweeter, but the place of God will steal
into your soul and the joy that you have
lost for awhile, in your forgetfulness
of God will return. For those who
travel this road next Sunday shall be
like those who traveled that ancient
Highway, the way of holiness, and who
found “joy and gladness, who came
with singing and sorrow aud sighing
fled, away.”

AND THE BARROW TIMES
MEMORIAL SERVICE
PROGRAM APRIL 26
Parent-Teacher Association Planning
Appropriate Exercises for This
Occasion.
Instead of the Parent-Teacher As
sociation having its regular program
for the mouth of May it has been de
cided to observe Memorial Day which
is April 26. There will be only a short
business meeting of the club.
Mrs. K. P. Carpenter, as chairman
of the program committee, is arrang
ing a delightful program for the occa
sion which will be published next week.
This program will be rendered in the
school auditorium at eleven o’clock,
April 26. All the veterans of the Civil
War as well as the soldiers of the
-World War, are invited and expected
to be present. In doing honor to those
who have made this a safe country for
us to enjoy we feel the program is
yours and without your presence on
this occasion it will be incomplete .
The girls of the High school will
prepare the decorations and take an
active part on this program.
The committee working under the au
spices of the Parent-Teacher Associa
tion has promised an excellent pro
gram that will both delight and enter
tain.
COUNTY NURSE TO
STAY IN WINDER
Arrangements Have Been Made Where
by This Splendid Red Cross Work
Will Continue in County.
The officers of the local Red Cross
chapter met on Wednesday afternoon
in the office of Dr. W. L. Mathews for
he purpose of making plans to maintain
the expense of the county nurse.
During these hard times we feel thnt
pleasure and luxury, to some extent,
should be dispensed with, but since
the public health nurse is a necessity
to the health and comfort of our peo
ple, we are willing to put forth an ef
fort to keep her.
Libraries, play grounds, public parks
aqd swimming pools are good additions
to our city and county, but doesn’t the
health and life of our children come
first? It is true you or your family
may never need the advice or assist
ance of our nurse. You are probably
able to pay a private nurse in time of
sickness, but wouldn’t you like to feel
that you were helping a less fortunate
brother? This work carries the nurse
into the most destitute homes , where
there is sickness under the worst san
itary sconditions, homes often with
out food and the proper clothing.
Donations from organizations or in
dividuals, who are broadminded enough
to see an appreciate the continuation
of this great work, will be appreciated,
but money under protest will not be
accepted.
Mothers of our town and neighbor
ing towns fully appreciate and realize
the value the examinations in the
schools have been to their children,
and now we hope they will rally to the
Baby Welfare Clinic that Is being put
on within the next few weeks, and will
grasp the opportunity of having all
children under six years of age weigh
ed, measured and thoroughly examin
ed.—Citizen.
J. P. COURT TUESDAY.

Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, April 14, 1921.
A VISIT OF THE
FLYING SQUADRON
A few months ago one of the greatest
revivals in the history of the State
broke out at Emory University. It
was a revival of the old time sort, and
the boys were so interested that, at 12
and 1 o’clock, they would pull their
unsaved friends out of bed and pray
for them till they were converted. Some
stayed on their knees for hours before
they could make themselves break with
sin and give themselves unreservedly
to God. The last Sunday of the meet
ing was like Pentecost. Men under
conviction of sin were kneeling by the
hundreds in a prayer meeting which
lasted till 5 o'clock in the morning.
The evidence of the reality of this
revival was the fact that these young
men wanted to carry the blessing to
others. And so they have formed
teams which have been going to the
Atlanta churches and spreading the
Are. Their first visit outside of At
lanta will be next Sunday when the
Methodist church will have a group of
these boys in a day of evangelism.
Services will be held at usual hours
in the school auditorium with a spe
cial service for young people at 3:30
P. M. They will also teach some of
the classes at the Sunday school hour.
Let us pray that this revival dame
may spread to Winder and that the
prayers of these young men for us
may be answered. The leader, Mr.
Perry Mnllinax, writes thnt prayer
meetings are being held every day at
the University for the services on the
coining Sunday.
The Sunday school is planning for
the greatest day in their history’ next
Sunday. A great number of new mem
bers have been added to the school dur
ing the last few months, but one visit
endues them with the spirit of enthu
siasm thnt is characteristic of this
school and sends them out as active
workers.
We extend a cordial invitation to ev
erybody in town and county, who is
not attending church elsewhere, to
come to these services at “the church
with the hearty welcome.”
L. Wilkie Collins, Pastor.

Gainesville - Winder
Transmission Line
The Work of Rebuilding and Placing
in First-Class Condition This Line
Progressing Nicely.
Mr. Claud Mayne, Winder, Ga.,
Dear Claud: —As information I beg
to advise you of the present status of
the work by the Georgia Railway aud
Power Company in rebuilding its trans
mission line from Gainesville to Win
der. The following I quote from re
cent report filed by said Company.
"The work of re-building and placing
in first class operationg condition on
the Dunlap-Winder electric transmis
sion line has been proceeding contin
uously since the former reports on this
subject were filed with the Commission.
The work Involved replacing the alum
inum conductors with No. 4 copper con
ductors, installing additional poles so
as to reduce the length of the spans on
the line up to the standard construc
tions of this company. The estimated
cost of this improvement was $82,400,-
00. 93 per cent' of the necessary pole
holes have been dug. 78 per cent of
the necessary additional poles have been
set and 70 per cent of the new copper
conductors have been strung.
“Since starting this construction the
weather conditions and bad roads in
the territory have entailed a loss in
actual working time of approximately
25 per cent. There lias been no delay
in the progress of the work except the
delay necessarily brought about by
weather conditions and bad roads.
“The construction forces of the com
pany estimate that this entire work
will tie completed some time around
April 15th, 1921.
You will doubtless recall the origi
nal estimate of this work a year ago
was placed at $50,000.00. The report
shows an estimated cost at (his time of
$82,400.00. I feel that It Is reasonably
sure the line will be completed on or
about April 15th, which when done
should give good service.
With regards and best wishes, I am.
Yours truly,
JAS. A. PERRY.
Commissioner.

Today and tomorrow, Thursday and
Friday, William Farnum will appear
at The Strand Theater in his latest and
one of his best western plays, “Drag
Harlan.”
“Drag Harlan,” is so called because
of peculiar trick of seeming to drag his
guns out in time to cover the two out
laws who killed his partner and fled
into the desert. He is feared by every
outlaw because of bis magic power as
a gun slinger.
A dying ranch owner gives Drag a
map showing the location of a big gold
deposit, the property of the ranchman,
and also importunes Drag to look after
Barabnrn, his daughter, who Is In great
danger from the outlaw’s of the section.
Here are some thrilling moments in
the picture:
When Drag Harlan finds in the des
ert the skulking coyote of a man who
killed Drag’s partner.
When Drag Harlan finds the dying
rancher and promises to look after his
daughter.
When the outlaw gang hears that
Drag Harlan is heading their way.
When Barbara Morgan learns she is
a prisoner in her room by order of the
handsome, devilish Luke Deveny.
When Drag Harlan orders an enemy
to flash his gun.
When Drag Harlan shoots the man
who has broken into her room.

A VOICE FROM A
LONG AGO CENTURY
A Prominent Citizen of Winder Writes
of the Ideas of One Who Lived
Five Hundred Years Ago,
Friends of tlie twentieth century
hearken to the wisdom of Martin Lu
ther who lived almost five hundred
years ago, and yet, whose words seem
to fit conditions of the present day. He
speaks on woman suffrage, on educa
tion, on children, on the servant prob
lem, on music aud on morality and re
ligion.
This on suffrage (said to his wife) :
“You make me do what you will, you
have full soveriguty here, and I award
you full command in all household mat
ters, reserving uiy rights in other points
Never any good came out of female
domination. God created Adam mas
ter and Lord of living creatures; but
Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded
him to set himself above God’s will.
’Tls you women, with your trickg and
artifices, that lead men into error.”
As you see, he opposed woman suf
frage.
Listen to Luther on another line. He
says:
“Tlio strength nml glory of a town
does not depend on its wealth, its walls,
its great mansions, its powerful arm
aaentr., but on the number of its learn
ed, serious, kind and well educated
citizens.”
So much for education. On children
he says:
“Be temperate with your children,
punish them if they lie or steal, but be
Just in what you do. Never be hard
with children. Many a tine character
has been ruined by the stupid beas
tialty of pedagogues. Punish, if you
must, but be kind too, and let the sug
arplum go with the rod.”
This tits our town. Listen to him
on the servant problem:
“A faithful and good servant is a
real Godsend, but truly, ‘tls a rare bird
In this land. We find everyone com
plaining of th • idleness and profligacy
of this class of people. We must gov
ern them Turkish fashion, so much
work, so much victuals, as Pharaoh
dealt with the Israelites in Egypt.”
On music:
“I have no pleasure in any man who
desjdses music. It is no invention of
ours; it Is the gift of God. I place it
next to theology, Satan hates music;
he knows' how it drive's the evil spirit
out of us.”
On morality and religion;
“The better a man is, the more clear
ly he sees how little he is good for, and
the greater mockery it is to him to hold
the notion that he lias deserved re
ward. Miserable creatures that we
are. we earn our bread in sin. Till we
are seven years old, we do nothing hut
eat, sleep and pluy; from seven to twen
ty-one we study four hours a day, the
rest of it we run about and amuse, our
selves; we work till fifty, then we grow
again to l>e children. We sleep half
our lives; we give God a tenth of our
time, and yet we think that with our
good works we can merit heaven.
“Praise be to God, the Creator, who
out of a dead world makes all live
again.”
These words are interesting from
the fact that they were spoken almost
five centuries ago, and yet tit into con
ditions of today. The sordid question
of finance is entirely left out.
Mr. J. W. Nichols Moves Office.
Mr. J. W. Nichols, of the Winder
Marble & Granite Cos., is moving his
office from the former place into the
ordinary’s old office on Broad street.
He will use it for his office and for a
show room where he will have on dis
play the many l>enutiful art memorials
that he carries. It will be one of the
best and most up-to-date show rooms
in the state. He invites the public to
visit this room and see the mony beau
tiful art memorial works that he has
on display.
Shooting Affray a* Jefferson. ,
Mr. Crate Roberts shot his nephew,
Fred Roberts, in Jefferson last week
inflicting n serious wound in the breast
and side of the latter. The trouble was
about an old grudge that has been of
long standing. The wounded man will
recover.
