WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
' /
100 in the shade! Folks, as ij
write this (Sunday afternoon, June
7th), Philadelphia is literally burning
up. Old Sol has been on a spree
for the past week and hundreds of
people have died in the East. The
total .number of fatalities up to and
including yesterday was 277. Just
think, the thermometer registers 100
here and the Government reports on
ly 80 at Jacksonville, Fla. Atlanta’s
average has been 88 for the past
week and Los Angeles, California’s
average only 64. Out in Montana
snow was reported all the past week.
Gimbels’ Department Store has
circulating ice water throughout the
entire building but it has been nec
essary to have buckets of ice in each
of the different departments during
the past week and even with this
there have been numbers of prostra
tions from the heat. The rolling
chairs and nurses’ rooms have sure
been kept busy. I thought I had
been accustomed to hot weather - in
the South but believe me when I tell
you that when it does get hot in the
North it is almost unbearable. Wash
ington, D. C., has the reputation of
being the hottest city in the United
States during June, July and Aug
ust, but Philadelphia can and has
gone Washington one better. Wash
ington’s highest temperature during
the past week was 96 while Philadel
phia’s reached 100 and a fraction.
It has been said that the mind
controls the temperature of the body
to a certain degree. In other words
if you continue to think of how hot
it is, it will be hotter for you, but
if you will just forget about the
heat to a certain extent, you will not
suffer from it so much. Here s an
illustration of what I mean. A man
and his wife had retired for the
night and the wife said, "John, it s
terribly hot in here —you had better
leave the door open tonight.’ John
said, "Oh, that won’t help any. there
is no breeze stirring, and if there is,,
it will come in the window. ' * ph,

she said, “I’ll never be able to sleep
unless you open that door,” so John
got up and opened the door without
turning on the light. The wife doz
ed off to sleep and next morning
when they awoke they learned that
John had only opened a closet door
by mistake.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said
that memory is an old witch which
throws out of the window the things
that are good but clings on to the
things that are bad. This was il
lustrated in a sermon which I had the
pleasure of hearing last Sunday
night, which was delivered by Bishop
Chas. Wesley Burns at the Logan M.
E. church. Bishop Burns is the on
ly brother of our pastor, Rev. George
Bickley Burns, and he is over the
San Francisco area of the M. E.
church. His sermon was on the life
of Nicodemus. He stated that were
you to search the studies of every
pastor in Philadelphia as well as all
of the public libraries of Philadel
phia you would not find one volume
which would say anything about
Nicodemus.
He took up each of the three ap
pearances of Nicodemus before
Christ and stated that on the first
appearance he came to Jesus by
night as a teacher to learn if there
was anything to the stories he had
been hearing about him. He was
convinced that Jesus was a teacher
sent from God for on his second ap
pearance he told the multitude that
they should not crucify Christ with
out first giving him a fair trial.
Bishop Burns stated that out of the
twelve disciples there was not one
who was brave enough to take the
body of Jesus down from the Cross
and Nicodemus with Joseph of Ara
mathea, a rich man, took his body
down and buried it. It was truly a
wonderful sermon and Nicodemus
was praised to the skies.
During the past week I have had
the pleasure of hearing three Bishops
preach and to use a slang expres
sion, they were all “high powered.”
Our former pastor at Logan M. E.
church was promoted to District Sup
erintendent (Presiding Elder) this
year and our present pastor was dis
trict superintendent of two different
districts so you see we have only
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JUNE 12, 1925
I “high powered” ones at our church.
I • I am going to pass on to you a
1 little story which our pastor, Dr.
I George Bickley Burns, told concern
ing his family some tiyie ago. Os
course he apologized for the person
al reference but it is so wonderful
how could he be expected not to tell
it. His grandfather, George Bickley
Burns the First, was an adopted child
of a rich man who was a Catholic
and when his grandfather who was
a Methodist at heart would return
from the Methodist church on Sun
day nights, his foster father would
forbid him from going back to the
Methodist church again, “for,” he
said, "I don’t like that crowd.” But
George Bickley went back to the
Methodist church just the same. Fi
nally one night when he returned
from church the old man said, “Now,
George, if you go back to that church
again I’ll disinherit you and drive
you from my home.” But this didn’t
stop him and he went back to the
Methodist church again. That night, I
however, when he returned home he
found the front door locked and the
old man leaned out of a second story
window and said, “Is that you,
George?—well, you know I told you
that if you went back to that church
again I would disinherit you and
drive you from my home. Now, I
want you to go and never come back
again—you are disinherited.”
Thus George Bickley Burns the Ist
at the age of 16 years, was cast out
into the world alone. He went to i
some of the Methodist folks and they I
took him in and got him a job and 1
before long he married and was
blessed with nine children. Before 1
he died he became rich and did much
for Methodism in Philadelphia. When
he died he called all of his children
and grandchildren to his bedside and
asked them all to promise never to
join any church except the Metho
dist, which they all did. From his
children and grandchildren eleven
preachers were added to the M. E.
church and the Bishop Chas. Wesley ,
Burns and our pastor, George Bick
ley Burns the 3rd, are two of the
grandchildren.
