—A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING— |
* * * By GEORGE CLARK f
Hartwell High’s basketball team
dropped the curtain of her 1925
basketball season by decisively whip
ping Lavonia last Saturday night,
the final score reading 42-17 with
the Orange and Black cagesters on
the long end.
Hartwell High went up t« Lavonia
expecting a harder fight, but since
the fighting was so easy the boys
didn’t mind that at all. The first
half began rather slow, although the
score at the intermission was 14-9
in favor of Hartwell.
Scrubs were numerous during the 1
last half. Coach sending almost his
entire squad into the fray. The team i
made a total of 28 points during the |
last twenty minutes of play.
Hill was the best player on the
Hartwell team, running wild to the
extent that he scored twenty-one
points. He was not the only star,
however, as the entire eleven boys
who played did good work.
Lavonia’s star was Verner, who
touched the hoops for nine points.
LETTER TO 810 Y. W. A.
FROM REV. J. IV. MOORE
Chefoo, China, December 30, 1924.
Dear members of the Bio Y. W. A.:
—I shall not attempt to tell you how
much joy your good letters gave us.
Each one had its own peculiar mes
sage just suited to make Christmas
a real one. How I should enjoy writ
ing a personal letter to each of you.
But since I have so many things to
do here and since there are so many
things I should like to write about I
fear I should be too long getting
them finished. I shall not say any
thing about eurselves but shall leave
that subject to Mrs. Moore. I will
try to tell you of some of our work
here, some es the manifestations of
the grace of God, and some other
things about China which I hope will
be interesting to all.
We have in Chefoo a church with
three hundred and forty members.
A girls’ junior high school with eighty
students. A boys’ grammar school
with one hundred boys and four
schools for beginners. Besides this
we have two chapels in the city and
six in the country. It has been my
duty the past three years to pastor
the church, be principal of the boys’
school and look after the country
work. You may be sure lots of the
field was neglected. Mrs. Moore
looks after the primary schools and
there are two young ladies who look
after the girls’ junior high school. A
man has lately come to pastor the
city church and I have taken on two
more counties of country work.
It is great to do country work but
not so easy. I just find a big vacant j
lot and begin to talk and great crowds
come to listen. Some become inter
ested and these we invite in to a
quiet place for further study of the
Bible. To lead people to accept the
Lord is a very slow process in this
land but a few are constantly be
leiving. You will be interested to
know that there are a great many
societies just recently organized to
drive out the missionaries. Os course
this is largely due to the late wars
in China and may pass as the coun
try becomes settled again.
You will also be interested to know
that we have night schools for the
poor who have to work in the hair
net factories every day. There are
about fifteen thousand such girls and
women in Chefoo and a larger num
ber of men and boys. We have about
five hundred of these in night classes
learning to read, sing and something
about Jesus.
We had a wedding last Sunday.
You should have been present. As
you no doubt know, the bridegroom
and bride were carried to the church
in big closed in chairs and the Chi
nese band followed them. Atfer
entering the church the Chinese
music stopped and one of our teach
ers played a wedding march, while
the bride came down one aisle and
the groom the other, meeting before
, me at the front. Os course the church
was packed to its capacity, about one
I thousand being present. I asked all
' to be seated but a few old women
!who had never been in a church be-
I fore were so much interested that
■ they not only would not sit down but
came up to the front where they
could see it well done. During the
ceremony the entire audience sang
one song, the girls two songs and the
j boys two. I did not have them to
| unite hands for that would have never
done and when the ceremony win
over they went out together but the
bride was in the rear. What do you
think about that? But I got even
with him by not making the girl pro
i mise to obey.
The march to the home was one of
. great pomp and much glory. Th«
' bride had a great feast where only
women were invited and the groom
i where only men were invited. The
' feast lasted only three hours. If
you will not think I am entirely too
materialistic, I will tell you the only
pay 1 get for marrying people in
' China is the amount I can consume
at the feast. But it is certainly worth
the money. I never go to a feast in
I China that I do not think of those
|spoken of by our Lord.
I eat their food and with chop
sticks. You should see me. I never
ask what the food is for it is all good
but if I know it I always refuse horse
or dog meat. This last expression
may seem strange but it would not
I if you were here, for the Chinese
are very fond of the above mentioned
i meats. Another thing I refuse i.»
garlic and the worms that come out
I of silk cocoon.
I have been almost a month trying
Ito write this letter so if it seems
I strange you will know why. It seems
I I have so many little things to in
! terrupt it is difficult to have time
' to think.
May the Lord bless, keep and
make His sun shine upon you all.
J. W. MOORE.

LIQUORCAUSE oTmUCH
EVIL, SAYS SCHOOL BOY
When will the citizens of Hart
county wake up and take actions
against the liquor which is causing
so much sorrow in their midst?
They know that their boys and
the boys of their neighbor are being
ruined by the awful stuff that is
being sold by so many of the pre
tended citizens of the county, yet,
what are they doing to prevent it-
Can they make it better by sitting
idly by and never taking any actions
against it?
Hart county has boys who are as
good as those to be found anywhere
and many of them being led to de
struction by the lower class (morally)
who care nothing for the prayers of
their mothers, the laws of their
country or anything else that mat
ters in making men who are to lead
in the next generation.
Are young men to blame for the
way they are living? Look at the
old men of the county, those whose
grey hairs and stooped forms show
that they are nearing the end of
their journey of life. Are they
leaving behind them the influence
for good, that show the boys they
would like for the future to be free
from sin? Sad to think, many of
them are not.
Do you stop to think of the trouble
liquor is causing, not only in Hart
county, but all over our country?
So many live are lost and the happi
| ness of homes destroyed. Will you
take time to count the deaths caused
by liquor in the last twelve months?
Compare these figures with the same
ten years ago. Do you think the
morals of our country are improving?
It is getting almost imposible to
have Sunday school or preaching
services. The greatest cause is the
influence of liquor where are the
boys at these hours (and where are
the men?). Can you do nothing to
stop the citizens of our country?
There are many ways in which it
could be done, but let me suggest
one: Go to bootlegger as a friend,
show him the evils being caused by
the stuff he is selling. Don’t be
afraid of hurting his feelings, even
if he is your nearest neighbor. Pos
sibly he has never stopped to think
of the great trouble he is causing.
What are you going to do about
it? Is there enough men in the
county who have have blood in their
veins to try, or will it go on as it is?
