When We Were Young,
Maggie.
)My last week's letter lead you in
your youthful days off on a trip to
some far away place when it took you
some two or three days to make the
journey as you traveled then, hut bare
ly an hour's travel in our speed devils
that are claiming its toll of death and
bringing on financial ruin.
But, oh to be a boy or girl again! As
the poet says:
“Backward, turn backward
Oh Time, in your flight,
Make me a boy again
Just for tonight.
Arriving at our journey's end we de
mount from our rickerty-rackerty old
wagon and hit the ground as proud as
Christopher Columbus did when he
struck land which he thought was In
dia. We ran to a spring, filled our
selves with cool water and then sliak
ing ourselves to see if any part of our
anatAny was missing after the bumps,
shales and jostling we had received.
N\'e were alright, everything intact ex
jce.pt a cap which had blown away in
the winds on the wayside.
The oxen were soon unyoked and
ts&ed into pasture to feed themselves
and one party strolled up a short hill
to the home of those we would visit.
Tin? people cauie running to greet us,
and one of the ugliest old maiden
aunts grabbed me with kisses and ca
resses. But she would not do it now.
If she undertook it, I’d box her jaws.
At the home, a log cabin of unusual
size and neatness, we were treated
royally fed on ginger cakes, cider and
wine of much age and strength. We
Nvere entertained with many pre-war
stories, Indian savagery and witch
craft. But when tliq hour arrived for
retiring, every member of the family
was called in, visitors also, a song was
sung, a portion of the Scriptures read
and a soul-stirring prayer was sent up
to an everlasting God for each in
mate of the house, and a special pray
er for the visitors.
We slept soundly and arose
early to see the beauty of nature in
the early dawn. This happened to be
Sunday, a day strictly observed by
these honest, rural folks. At ten
o’clock we strolled about a half mile
to a cross road and there stood a large
log cabin church in which was placed
ttf lot of slabs with holes bored in them
and wooden pins for legs which made
a seat for the worshippers.
1 When the hour of 11 arrived the
preacher arose, read his hyuin, then
repeated two lines at a time so that all
could join in the singing. It one could
not remember the woijds he sang la, la,
la, and kept the tune. A prayer from
the heart of a true and sincere worship
per which reached the throne of grace;
i a sermon just as full of love and mer
cy as an egg is of meat; men sung
out amen; women shouted; sinners
were convicted and mourners convert
ed; men and women quit their mean
ness, when you and 1 were young. How
it it now 7
Now we go to church any distance
in a mobile dressed as king and queen
niid'suffer heat near torment. We ap
parently meet with a smile and a cheer
ful word. We sing by note in system,
and order. \\ e listen to tooting
1 horns and squeaking boxes and bows.
We sit in pews of comfort and easy
yenough to bring sleep. We listen to
a formal and regular prayer, systemat
ically and logically thought out, a cut
and dried affair that has no pep in it
and reaches a bit less higher than the
speakers head. An offering is taken
and he who wishes can give. This is
one of the paramount performances.
Beautiful words are spoken by those
who greet each other, but thoughts un
spoken. Oh, my! While you and l are
old. A sermon full of logic, reason
and history, anecdotes galore; hell and
damnation to beat the band; very lit
tle love and mercy. While you and 1
are old. Let’s go back to ove and
kitidfiess, mercy and charity.
Oh! to be a child again with all the
thought carries. Away from what is
p damning souls, ruining the church and
- forsaking our Savior. It is just this
when boiled down, nothing less no.'
larger than politics and pride
Politics worries the true worship
per if he heeds it. Polities brings bur
dens, and taxes us morally, mentally
and physically. Pride always precedes
a fall and pride leads the way to de
struction and utter ruin. Why are we
groaning today at our taxes? Why
are the best men of Georgia worrying
over tliis question? Politics. AN by do
w e dress and spend hard-earned dol
lars to outshine our neighbor? Just
pride.
Oh! to be a child and not have these
questions of politics and pride to enter
car little world!
An old friend of mine said to me.
“Why keep up your opposition to some
church music?” My reply was this
“A fellow killed a snake and beat very
much upon his dead carcass to teach
him there was a hereafter.*' I realize
that there has been much improvement
in church music where I have attend

One quality only—
the standard for all
Goodrich Tires
Size or price cannot modify the one
quality Goodrich standard. You can buy
any Goodrich Tire, Silvertown Cord or
the popular 30 x 3 *4 clincher fabric, and
know beyond a doubt that you are getting
the same quality always. It is this quality
which has made Goodrich Tires unsur
passed for dependability and durability
in service, mileage and value.
This principle has put the real meaning
in the widely known Goodrich slogan of
“best in the long run.”
