Sunday School Lesson
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn)
Putting God’s Kingdom First.
Lesson for February 4. Matt.
6:19-34.
Golden Text: Matt. 6:33.
Several powerful sermons could be
preached on the passage chosen from
the Sermon on the Mount for our
lesson. Take the great saying, “Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon
earth.” Jesus here sounds a clear and
solemn warning with respect to the
right use of wealth. He is not con
demning thrift, foresight, prudence.
He favored, as the parable of the
talents indicates, the sound invest

ment of money for the public good.
But He i: ; against all who, In the
spirit of hoarding, pile up wealth
selfishly and greedily with an eager
desire to give themselves airs.
Consider the superb passage on
the eye as the channel of light (vs
22, 23). Here the Master upholds
that ideal of single-mindedness which.,
as Bishop Gore reminds us, “gives
clearness and force to life.”
Think also of that thrilling text,
“Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Old King Redwald tried it. He built
two altars of worship, dedicating one
to God and the other to the devil.
“These are two mighty Lords,” he
said, “and the best thing for me to.
do is to keep on the good side of
both ofthem.” Perhaps the devil ac
cepted his worship. But God certain
ly did not! Now there are too many
who follow the footsteps of this an
cient monarch. They seek to sei’ve
both God and the Devil, and*they end
by serving the Devil.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
But I am especially interested in
Jesus’ glorious insistence upon trust
in God, beginning with verse 25. The
keynote here is that characteristic
phrase, “Be not anxious,” nr “Do not
worry.” Few people obey th : s com
mand. Worry is one of the major af
flictions of mankind. And modern
civilization has increased man’s stock
of worries. Therefore we do well to
hearken carefully to the Master’s ex
hortation.
Now you will notice that our Phy
sician gives three prescriptions, all of
which are efficacious. First Be tells
us to appreciate the patient calm and
serene beauty of mother nature (vs.
26-30). Then He bids us to be loyal
to the ideal of God’s kingly rule
tvs. 31-33). Finally, He encourages
us to live one day at a time (vs. 34).
JONESBORO COPPED DOUBLE
HEADER FROM JACKSON HIGH
Jackson high school basketball
teams went over to Jonesboro Fri
day night and engaged the Jones
boro high in a double header. The
Jackson girls were snowed under by
a 34 to 4 score. In the boys game a
hectic battle resulted, with Jonesboro
finally emerging on top by a 19 to
1C score.
This loss after two straight vic
tories has not discouraged the Jack
son boys and they are out to give
trouble to any team in this section.

several years ago.
Mrs. Watkins was devoted to her
family and was widely beloved for

She had 'been a member of the
Mount Vernon Baptist church for a
long number of years and was one of
tbg .most faithful members.
Mrs. Watkins is survived by the

New “Knee-Action” Chevrolet Gives Passengers
Ride Like a Glide
In the deign and development of the new 1934 Chevrolet,
particular attention has been Jiiven to driver and passenger comfort,
all annoying sensations of disagreeable sound and feeling having
been eliminated. The upper photo shows the new Chevrolet coach
with its long, sleek lines. Wind rush has been eliminated hy the
Fisher No Draft Ventilators and the new streamlined bodies.
Chevrolet's “Knee-Action" wheels enjoy the advantage of being
The driver and passengers in the new 1934 Chevrolet
get a ride like the glide of an airplane. One of the main
factors in improving the riding qualities of the new car
to such a great extent is the “Knee-Action”—or inde
pendently sprung front wheels, to use the technical
term.
So much has been written about independent spring
ing that the public has doubtless concluded that it is
something too technical to understand. Asa matter of
fact, there is nothing complicated about either the
principle involved or the construction of the system.
Chevrolet’s “Knee-Action” enjoys the advantage of
being enclosed in a welded weathertight housing in
which the entire spring mechanism and shock absorb
ers ride up and down in a bath of oil.
An automobile gives a perfect ride when both the
front and rear springs have the same “frequency,” or
tension. Actually this has been impossible to carry out
in the past because the front springs had to be over
twice as “stiff” as the rear springs in order to hold the
front axle, wheels and brakes in place. In independent

completely enclosed in a weathertight housing; the coil springs and
shock absorbers ride in a bath of oil. William E. Holler, Chevrolet’*
gene fill sales manager, is shown at the left holding a clurt which

The radiator of the new car has added beauty through its graceful
and sharply pointed design. Smartness has been the theme in
every line of this year's Chevrolet.
springing, the wheels and spring mechanism are rigidly
attached directly to the frame and there is no front axle.
By relieving the front springs of the task of carrying
wheels and axle, therefore, it became possible to make
the front springs as “soft” as the rear springs. When
the new Chevrolet strikes an irregularity in the road,
both front and rear move up and down with the same
frequency—there is no inclination on the part of the
rear end of the car to leap into the air and throw the
passengers forward and upward.
Chevrolet’s “Knee-Action” has additional advantages
all contributing to a comfort in riding never before
thought possible in a motor car. There is a decided
improvement in handling, steering, safety at hfgh
speeds and tire economy.
In design, the front spring is a neat, compact and
efficient unit, as Mr. Holler points out in the above
picture. The entire spring mechanism is attached
rigidly to the frame. From this enclosed unit the wheels
spring vertically at the ends of strong, steel horizontal
arms. ( ,
